People might say he is boring, should he care ?
I think this level of dedication and focus is the reason for his sucess.
His mindset seems to be perfect...he might become something that we have never seen before in SC2.

People say Innovation is boring and not entertaining... I don't know about you but he's entertained you and me for countless hours when he snaps nerd necks in tournies :DDDD

Hahaha, this interview is awesome.

Innovation seems extremely terminator-esque in his approach to the game(and perhaps life(no pun intended) in general)!

Such a boring guy.

He seems focused and determined to be a great player, but outside of that. Doesn't care for much else.

I mean when Flash was interviewed, at least Flash had some aspirations outside of SC2. And Flash is the prototypical consummate professional. He too is a person very dedicated to becoming the best he can be as a pro-gamer.

Fascinating personality this INnoVation dude. One wonders if he is just posturing or is genuinely dispassionate, and one could then -- naturally some would say -- argue that posturing is only available as an option if you are the genuine article. I fall firmly in the latter.

"So he's a fan of NaDa" is one thing I took from it ... kinda interesting I think. I am also totally in love with the thread comments so far. Amateur psychology is at its best almost an art form and seeing it at its most powerful such as in this thread right now can be damn right scarily funny ... with some pretty good writing.

Male progamer giving a somewhat boring interview, reaps ten pages of unwarranted and disrespectful bashing.

Meanwhile, a professional cosplayer probably as interesting as a stone beside her dashing looks gets endless praise and interest.

You do have strange standards when it comes to personality, Teamliquid.
If you seek well, you shall find.

Innovation doesn't care about fans, praise, TV, foreign tournaments and crowds and said he doesn't feel much when he win or plays. Robot?

Professional athletes have family and hobbies they go back home to when they call it a day. When progamers call it a day they crawl down in their bunk beds together with their teammates of 10 after playing all day.

he seems to be pretty introverted and shy. well, I think that's quite normal for a professional gamer. his answers weren't very interesting, but he's not here to entertain us with funny answers, he's here to win.

this sentence hit the point perfectly: " But after winning a championship, I didn't really feel anything, so I think I have to keep winning. "

many great champions share this mindset.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

This one is particularly funny because it might both be defamatory and true. It is a tricky thing this "thing" of figuring out some-one else's inner psychology. I find this an immensely funny and interesting of a topic and when put as concisely as this, it is pure gold. And as always, talking too much about the joke will ultimately destroy it.
