the jjakji interview was pretty cool, giving a fan such a special shoutout is quite something. hope the guy reads it.

I want the 3 minutes back that I wasted on reading the taeja interview tho

Honestly, liquid says they really like certain players... Taeja is the definition of faceless korean, like how can someone be more boring

I've seen much more boring interviews with Innovation.

The faceless korean is faceless not because of awful interviews but because they never really do them/they never get translated. These sorts of interviews are pretty funny, and the incredible confidence he displays and things like the taejaclap aren't "faceless korean" traits.

Taeja sucks at interviews, big time. Thanks for the patience and for trying to get something out of him.

Jjakji seems pretty confident. I'm also a little surprised neither TaeJa or Jjakji didn't mention Rogue or sOs when talking about who they predicted to win the whole thing or who they wanted to avoid play against.

Plus he tends to come off arrogant from time to time. He is definitely sticking out a bit from the type of player Liquid usually recruits.

Fantastic interview with jjakji. I'm looking forward to watching him win $100K. Glad he has such confidence and has really been prepping himself for this tournament.

the taeja interview.......... yup.

When you've had the sort of consistent, long-term success that he's had, it becomes sort of hard to ignore, boring or not. Besides, his terrible interviews are a storyline in themselves. It's sort of like Sniper's tendency to eliminate fan favorites - even a negative, consistently observed, becomes a positive for fans because it makes the players familiar and distinct. Plus, it gives people like Wax and Incontrol something to poke fun at, and exasperated humor is the best kind of humor.

That said, I still think it should be mandatory to include San in every Taeja interview henceforth. It makes him so much more personable.

more criticism for the prize money heh

I don't think there is ever going to be praise for this prize distribution lol. If salaries for the average progamer was high enough to actually live off then it would be a hell of a lot less ridiculous

So if they were to more evenly distribute the prize to the top 8, how much has the average top 8 candidate in this tournament won just from prize money in 2013?

sOs: $143,980
JaeDong: $121,235
Taeja: $105,410
Life: $80,634

Yeah, poor guys would starve without an even prize distribution in this tournament.
