MarineKingPrime was not the first interview i did that day but it was by far the longest (just over an hour). When he entered the little room GerrardPrime gave us to do the interview, he sat cross-legged on this huge red seat and hugged a pillow that would remain in his hands for the entirety of the interview.
Before starting i really wanted to light up his mood so i talked to him about the reactions you could read on foreign forums about his retirement from SC2. I explained him that the vast majority of the message were thankful message for the memories he made, that even on boards that usually don't receive anything related to LoL well, people were still encouraging to him. I also mentioned the team liquid thread.
He was pleasantly surprised by this, and this could set up a nice mood for the long discussion we were about to have.
Q:You actually used to be a Starcraft1 progamer. How did you ever first picked up the game and how did you made the transition to being a progamer ? A:When i was in elementary school, starcraft1 was very popular. In middle school and high school i used to go to PCBang to play starcraft with my friends after class. It made me want to go pro, so asked my parents for permission. After this i entered the Courage tournament and won it.
Q: So you entered MBC Game Hero by being drafted. How was life as a pro-gamer back then ? A: I was a big fan of pro-gamers at this time, so i couldn't believe that i was there, in the MBC Game Hero teamhouse. I was really thankful to be there. I will never forget about those times and will cherish this memories for the rest of my life. After some time i started to get used to live there and i realized how hard it was to be a progamer, i got a feeling of the amount of time you must put into the game.
You instantly switched to Starcraft2 when it was released and was well known because of your very high ranking on the ladder. You met success early in the GSL Open Season 2, using a unique play style, focusing on the use of one unit in every match-up : the Marine. We could describe the style as very micro intensive for TvP and TvZ, whereas relying on mobility for TvT.
Q: What did you find so good about the marine and why did you use it so much ? A: I really liked the unit the first place. It is really fast and really strong. So i started to play with it a lot and got better and better at controlling it and soon it became my best skill in the game.
Q: Everybody remembers the game against Kyrix Zenith on Shakuras Plateau. This game changed the face of Starcraft2 for ever. How and when did you realize that you could control your marine this way against the banelings ? A: I don't like to copy other players and trying to mimic them. I like to find unique ways to play. Actually this is not something i do only in game, but in general in life, i try to be original and have my own style. So i was trying to find my own way to play the game, i didn't watched any other player, i was focusing solely only my play. At that time i was practicing a lot and trying very hard and eventually i managed to control marines better and better.
Q: After another second place at the 2011 GSL January, you started having problems advancing far in GSL. You were still doing very well in tournaments outside of the GSL but it seemed you hit a wall in the GSL booth. What to do you think was the reason for this ? Was there some kind of mental block or was it just that your opponents were really strong ? A: A lot of fans started to show up for my games and everybody was expecting a lot from me. I couldn't afford to fail in the earlier rounds and the pressure was very high. It was something specific to the GSL and the nervousness made my play worse.
Q: 2011 was the first time for you to play in foreign tournaments with MLG Orlando and ESWC 2011. Was it the first time for you to travel outside of Korea ? How was the experience at those tournaments ? A: It was my first time to travel aboard and i was really excited since i always wanted to travel since i am a little child. I was expecting a lot from those trips. At foreign tournaments, the fans are really different, they are more numerous and more cheerful than Korean fans. I was surprised and pleased by their warm welcome. Also the foreign leagues just takes two or three days and i felt this style was very good for me.
Q: So you feel more comfortable playing a tournament like MLG or IPL where you had to play many games in a row rather than a tournament like GSL or OSL where you have one week to prepare for each game ? A: I don't like to prepare everything before the game and take a week to get ready. I prefer to just play the game and feel the flow.
Q: After those foreign events, you fell to Code A and managed to secure a Code S spot again. In order to do this, you had to play against BoxeR. It is well known that you respect him a lot. How did felt to play against your childhood idol and even beating him ? A: It was a good experience to play against such a strong player in Stacraft2. I couldn't realize i was playing against Lim Yo Hwan ( BoxeR), as i was a very big fan of him when i was a child, i couldn't believe i was playing against him. But actually something didn't fell quite right during the game : it was a good feeling to play against him but since i admired him it was also a weird feeling to be on the same stage and even winning against him.
Q: The end of 2011 was again mixed : in MLG Providence, online cups and in WCG you managed to beat very good players but still missing on this big tournament win. A: At those times i was playing very relaxed because i was certain that i would eventually win a tournament, i knew i was good. I was not feeling to pressured and in retrospect i regret it because i think this made me make lots of small mistakes that cost me important games.
Now let's talk about 2012, which was a wonderful year for you. There was an awesome rivalry between you and DongRaeGu during this year. You managed to win MLG twice and to repeatedly beat all the players that had been in your way in the past. I even remember one day I was at the GOMTv mokdong studio and i was chatting with cArn who said to me that all the Koreans wanted to avoid you in the GSL, you were regarded as the best player in the world by your peers.
Q: During those days, who are the players you think were on the same level as you were ? Did you feel that you were on top of the game more than ever ? A: It was the second time for me to have a period like this in my pro-gamer career. First time the league had maybe three or four players that were at the same level on top of the game [NDLR:he is referencing the early GSLs]. But for the second time, even I was thinking that i was the very best in the game. I was really proud and confident in my skills so i could control the game very well. I felt calm in the booth. It was a relief to finally win big championship tournament after so many second places. These times are also memories that I will forever carry with me.
At the 2012 MLG Pro Circuit Winter Championship, i was feeling nervous to play the finals against DRG. I didn't wanted to meet him because i knew he was really good and could beat me because we used to meet often on the ladder. Beating him felt like a big accomplishment.
Q: After the release of HotS, everybody expected you to do well because of the changes made to Terran that seemed to fit your play style very well. Why do you think you were not able to enjoy a revival in your game unlike many other Terrans did at those times ? A: I started to loose interest in Terran before HotS release. So i started to practice Protoss for around 3 month. But then HotS was released, the changes to Terran were really good so i had to switch again. The thing is i was not enjoying that style of play anymore [fast and aggressive], i was actually practicing Protoss because i wanted to play a more relaxed and defensive style.
Q: So you said you were considering a race switch. Was it only because you felt bored with Terran or more or so with the game overall ? A: When i was a beginner, i had a lot of passion about the game. But after that many years of being a pro-gamer i can see more clearly what has to be done to win. The game is getting more basic and the strategy are kind of always the same. It is true that i was starting to get bored with Starcraft2.
Q: If you have to pick the best memory of your Starcraft career, what would it be ? A: Of course it would winning the 2012 MLG Winter Championship. There was so many fans that i didn't knew i had. It was impressive and i am so thankful to them.
Q: How long did you think about switching to LoL before you finally make the decision ? A: It happened very suddenly. I was playing LoL only as a hobby. After loosing twice in GSL and doing lots of silly mistake it hurt my pride and i felt like i couldn't win in Starcraft anymore. So after loosing i decided to make the switch.
Q: What aspect of LoL do you prefer to SC2 ? A: I don't think LoL is better than Starcraft, they just have different good aspects. Since LoL is a team game, it makes me feel more relaxed to play with friends, it cheers me up to not play alone. Always being alone in Starcraft made me lonely and pressured. I still think that Starcraft is the better game tho.
Q: What is your favorite champion and what is your favorite position to play ? A: I like to play with Vi [NDLR:Not 100% sure, with korean accent it sounded like "Pa-i" and i don't know anything about LoL but looking at the champion list i think its this one] and my favorite positions are Jungle and AD Carry.
Q: Will you keep the same ID in LoL ? A: I considered to change the ID because it is about the Marine which is not in LoL. But i know all my fans love it, especially the foreigners, and now i feel this ID is my identity so i want to keep it.
Q: How much time you think you need to reach pro-level play in LoL ? A: If i compare with other AoS players, it's easier for them to adapt to LoL. But i come for Starcraft so it will take me more time.
Q: Did you play Dota1 or any AoS game before ? A: no, not really.
Q: Are you going to keep streaming your games ? SC2 or LoL ? A: Now i have to practice a lot because i am debuting in LoL so i have no time for streaming. But after i am done with practicing a lot, i will stream again and i want to stream both SC2 and LoL.
Q: Are you considering a come back to SC2 ? For LotV for an example. What change to SC2 would make you come back to the game ? A: I just announced that i quit SC2 so actually i don't know if i will come back. But if the fans are really asking me to make a comeback, maybe i will come back.
Q: Do you have a message to your fans ? A: Thanks. Just thanks a LOT, to all my fans. I really didn't expected that after quitting my favorite game, that my fans would keep cheering for me. I saw some post about fans wishing me to do well in LoL. It is really to much, i feel i can't deserve it, i am so thankful for it. I will never forget about it. If you want to still care about me, please follow me in LoL, it is hard to change games because i really love SC2.

Great interview. Makes me appreciate MKP's legacy even more. All the best to his now third "life" in Esports!
Interesting for the SC2 vs LoL crowd

Starcraft, sure. Starcraft 2 not so much.
Yay let's start the game arguing at page 1 this time! It will all speed things up a bit.

Well, playing a solo game for years must be for sure really hard.
Great interview, MKP is really a great guy !

Please guys dont make it into another LoL vs SC2 thingy. He is saying those stuff about SC2 being better than LoL because he truly is a Starcraft player at heart and also i really thinks he insisted on it several times because he knows thats what you guys want to hear.
I have many others interviews ready to be transcripted but i really dont have the time do them now. I think i will have time to post them on monday.

great interview, thank you and Gerard/marineking/ all prime team ^^

Great interview, Hope he does well and hell always be the Marine King.

Thank you very much for those interviews! I hope people will stay civil in the SC(2) vs LoL debate as well.

That's a great interview, thanks man. Really insightful answers from MKP, I didn't know he started to not like fast and aggressive playstyle anymore just before HotS.

Great interview, MKP is really a great guy ! Meh. If you're one of the best, playing a solo game seems way less stressful.
Would you rather lose a game because of your own mistakes or lose because your teammates can't keep up? You can learn from your losses and improve yourself as an individual, but you can't always rely on your teammates to do the same.

So you're telling me there's a chance.

Nice interview! Not surprising to hear about SC2 getting lonely after all these years, I feel the exact same way.
|
Thank you Marou! Great interview, it made me happy. Hope MarineKing becomes the King of LoL as well!
|
Well, I really hope that LOTV brings him back. I too, share many of his feelings regarding SC2.
|
Thanks a lot for the interview and very much looking forward to reading the other ones as well !
Cool answers from MKP, he does seem like a nice person as always. Wishing him all the luck in the future and waiting for that possible LotV comeback 
Also, LoL vs SC2 vs BW people please fuck off.
|
I have a feeling that he is coming back some day or with LotV.
|
Cool that he might consider switching back, as LoL tends to get boring fast (at least from my rather short experience with it).

Nice interview. Got to agree with his opinion on LoL vs SC2.
|
Great interview.
But if the fans are really asking me to make a comeback, maybe i will come back.
I've decided not to get my hopes up for this as this is almost exactly what he said about the possibility of changing his name to Foxer so many SC2 Lifetimes ago.
|
MKP, u will be missed
|
Great interview, thanks for this!
Long live the MKP!
|
Comeback for LotV? Yes please!
Great Interview; Good luck MKP we loved you and still do!
|
still makes me sad
|
Sounds like he needed a mental break. Good luck to him in LOL. Maybe if Maru remains on track as a top tier Terran it'll refuel his desire to compete in SC2.
|
I am happy for him, as long as he is having fun I think we should all support him, even if he is playing LoL. I do think that if he will, I mean, he will, go pro in LoL he will dominate everything as he had amazing multitasking and micro and now he doesnt have to multitask .
Good luck MKP and show them the skill of SC2 pro! :D
|
Oh nice!!! He is still MKP in LoL, gona follow him no matter what (and i like LoL too).
MKP hwaiting!!

MKP confirmed for ladder anxiety. 
The interview is really good, personal, but still on point. Great job!

Solid interivew. Not really a mkp fan but he seems like a genuinely cool dude and has done a lot for the scene 
Thanks for the translation!

Burst to tears for no reason. aaah fuck. i need to take a break. Marineking I will always wish you good luck even I hate LOL. Always love you.
|
With how brutal they got beat down in the Champions qualifier it would even surprise me heavily to see them qualify for any early/mid 2014 seasons of OGN. Maybe that could play into the SC2 fans hands and make MKP go back eventually.
|
Come back MKP

I'm gonna miss him in SC2. One of my absolute favourite players. Such a talent and personality.
I lost a little bit of interest in pro SC2 when he retired. I 've waited and waited for him to become great in HotS and then he goes and retires :-(
I hope the Blizzcon panel will adress some of the concerns of the fans and I hope they give some real answers about the game. I refuse to believe that David Kim and his crew is sitting in the office going "we are so happy with where the game is going. We don't understand at all the concern and critique from the players".
At the end of the day they gamers themselves and they must be seeing what is happening in the scene and can't possibly be happy about it.
|
Oh my god, I feel so honored that you mentioned my thread. Thanks<3 It feels weird knowing that MKP might have seen it.
Fantastic interview by the way. I always enjoy to get further insight.
|
Will always remember the first seasons. MKP vs Kyrix most wtf moment (whole series) ever for me personally.
I would watch him in LoL even though I understand shit about the game.
MKP forever
|
|
Best of luck, MKP, whatever you choose to play in the future! <3 Much love.
|
he got bored with sc2 .. its does not have the same variety as bw
|
|
*sigh* He's cuter than kittens xD Thanks a lot for the interview!! <3 MKP
|
thanks for the interview.

Really nice interview, well done Marou !
|
dis interview made me sad (((((((
|
But if the fans are really asking me to make a comeback, maybe i will come back.
OMG OMG OMG! There is a chance! Someone tell him that we are asking. MKP, plz make a comeback, even as a P like you wanted 
|
That's a pretty awesome interview, thanks : D
|
Thanks a lot for the translation and the great interview!
|
Still love you MKP.If you ever feel like switching back to SC2, I'll welcome you with open arms and cheer for you every game just like before ;3

Ofc. You will see a lot of guys come back with LotV and so forth. Just because someone says they retired doesn't mean they won't play from time to time. I know a lot of guys want to try other things or go pro in other games. Those ventures especially going pro at another game is pretty frigging hard to do. They have to learn that the hard way most times.
|
Thank you for the interview! It was really great to get to read all of what MKP has to say about his transition and whatnot. I'm going to miss him so much as a player. I'm glad that he said he has interest in returning when LOTV comes out if there is an interest from fans though, and him keeping the ID really makes me happy
|
Damn feels. Well, is just like was said in the beginning of the thread, there is a chance. He will comeback, he must comeback to save terran and the overly aggressive style.
|
Good interview, thanks alot. Feel even more sad now that we missed out on seeing MKP play protoss ^^
|
MOBAKingPrime We should make... A Marine for MarineKing! just like a Zergling for DRG and a Mutalisk for IdrA
|
Interesting that he wanted to switch to a more relaxed, defensive style. Seems so wrong to think of MKP playing that way.

Q: After the release of HotS, everybody expected you to do well because of the changes made to Terran that seemed to fit your play style very well. Why do you think you were not able to enjoy a revival in your game unlike many other Terrans did at those times ? A: I started to loose interest in Terran before HotS release. So i started to practice Protoss for around 3 month. But then HotS was released, the changes to Terran were really good so i had to switch again. The thing is i was not enjoying that style of play anymore [fast and aggressive], i was actually practicing Protoss because i wanted to play a more relaxed and defensive style.
I am not sure what i would of done if MKP went Protoss :O Still would of loved to seen it xD even though he is mr Terran to me xD
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INTERVIEW <3

This guy. I just can't not love MKP.

Great interview!~ I long for the day of his sc2 stream.
|
Thanks a lot, Marou. This made my day :D MKP's such a cool guy.
It's funny that he tried to switch to Protoss before HOTS. Would have been interesting to see him play with a different race.
I'm happy he's planning on keeping his gamertag. Hopefully I get the chance to cheer for him in LoL.

So it is settled then. LotV is going to make mech viable -> MechKingPrime is born.

name change? TurretKingPrime make it happen!
|
How can you not like MKP. It will be interesting to see his personality manifest itself in LoL, I hope he has great success!
|
If he does come back for LotV it would make me so happy. He was probably my favorite player to cheer for, I'll never forget his amazing games vs DRG and Parting in 2012.
I do wish he would have switched to Dota instead of LoL though, since Dota just really starting up in Korea he could have made a big impact.
|
so many great memories: - kyrix in open season 2 - nada the base race - nestea the finals - drg - parting in the gstl finals - 6 pool vs. cc first (vs suhoshin) - homestory cup his casting with mc

The game is getting more basic and the strategy are kind of always the same. It is true that i was starting to get bored with Starcraft2.
Truth. It is not nearly as dynamic as BW. Unit control is a degenerate form of what it proudly once was, and build orders and strategies are too simple. LoL is more dynamic.
frisbees versus baseballs

I will love you forever. You will always be in my heart.

thank god he chose LoL over protoss
|
|
I think he should rename to Foxer.. Thats what everyone wanted when before he changed to MarineKing.. It would be cool if he would change to it now, when no one expects it anymore :D
|
Anyone know where we can find the first broadcasted game of MKP in LoL (presumably in whatever LCS Korea qualifiers they have?). Rootin for MKP wherever he goes.

Truth. It is not nearly as dynamic as BW. Unit control is a degenerate form of what it proudly once was, and build orders and strategies are too simple. LoL is more dynamic. frisbees versus baseballs
People like you will look for anything despite being self contradictory

What an awesome dude! Wish him the best despite wishing he'd come back to sc2. Some of my favorite games involved MKP... and who else can pull of those glasses!
|
I like League better than sc2.

I love that he still favors SC2, hopefully one day he will come back to the warm embrace of Starcraft.

Althought he is not my favourite player but I would want him to come back. He makes Starcraft scene more lively. Also, people who come here just to spout your BW vs SC2 vs LoL bs just stop. MKP thinks SC2 is a better game than LoL and that's fine because he was Starcraft player. Deal with it.

PLEASE COME BACK!!! You are my hero in SC2. I personally LOVE using a marine heavy agro style, and watching you play was like watching a true master of the craft. If you came back to SC2 I would make sure to get a passport to come see you play at your first tourney back on the scene. Sorry if I just come off as a fanboy lol.

Theres a chance! I think he's still on prime roster, as well as he's back into sc2. So don't doubt it, but then again don't be too hopeful. May be similar to byun, still plays but not on SPL.
