Anyone have a tl;dw post? Like, a brief recap so we know the gist of the interview? I'm interested in the content but simply don't have an hour to sink in. :p
it is mostly about Naniwa wanting to train in Korea cause theres the highest skill, but culture and Koreans being reserved towards foreigners made it really hard to profit skillwise from living in Korea. he talks about his and other players experiences there, for example that despite living in a teamhouse he almost only played ladder and almost no custom games

well I'm Polish and if he said all those things in front of me I would... agree with pretty much everything 
that's actually the reason I moved to the UK and been living here for the past 6 years - I don't intend to ever go back (maybe during my retirement years  )...
so yeah it's not that I hate my country but most of the things Thorin said are actual facts... of course he shouldn't have said them being an 'official' person at the IEM (especially in the 'aggressive' way that he did) but meh they didn't bother me a single bit...
and I found the interview very interesting, to my surprise I watched it without skipping too many parts so thanks for that <3

Back when being a professional gamer was considered as a "rockstar" (yeah they still get respect these days but let's face it, professional gamers are becoming uglier and uglier and much more "effeminate" these days). Guillaume would constantly hang out w/ Boxer, YellOw, and etc. They would go out clubbing in Korea night time and whatnot (along w/ Elky, a french player).
During the documentary "WCG2005 National Geographics", Guillaume was seeing talking in conversational Korean to purchase food there and community w/ much clarity.

an opinion about every single person of an ethnicity based on where they were born is pretty much the definition of racism.

I kinda wanna say that post was meant to be sarcastic to point out the idiocy of the polish guys that actually sent Thorin pms threatening to beat him up and rape and/or kill him. Might be mistaken, but that's how I saw it :o

What an interview! This is great. I understand the man's motivations and history so much better now.
