I didn't think park was harsh at all, if anything he was extremely candid and tactful with this interview. Looking forward to part 2.

People associate realistic negativity with being harsh when they shouldn't. He wasn't harsh on anyone in this interview. I have a really good relationship with coach Park because he knows every step of the way we worked as best as we could at trying to improve according to his views. Starting a team house designed to compete in Proleague just isn't the same as starting a house in Korea where your players can practice.

Personally i think Team Liquid and EG should both be commended for even taking the Big shot at this that they did even going as far as acquiring coach park...

Nazgul I just wanted to say to you that you are a pillar in the eSports community and I think i speak for everyone in the TL community that we appreciate everything you do along with your staff for not only being honest but being honest hard working to the goal of embettering eSports as a whole

So honest and involved, how can you not like the guy? Great interview. Hopefully this wont be the last time we will see him cooperating with foreign teams.

Awesome interview by Coach Park. I enjoyed his detailed answers

I'm not sure how I feel about Coach Park's reaction to Taeja lol "the heck kind of player is this?"

It was really cool to hear about how the team was struggling. You knew there had to be something else going on behind the scenes, considering how well the players were doing over seas. I also think even the average player can relate to being off your game due to outside factors like your house being messy or you're eating Burger King at 5 AM every night. Really solid interview, Coach Park is clearly a pro giving us some really good answers, great read.

Loved the interview! He was really honest and so open about all the daily struggles that the team had to go through. I had no clue about most of the things that he said that had to be fixed. Personally, I don't think he bashed or spoke against anyone, rather talked about how the team's environment and overall thoughts didn't fit that of a proleague teams. In the end, I think giving proleague a try was a good idea and both Coach Park and EG-TL teams did end up with valuable experience, both in performing in PL and in foreign tournaments.
