Really cool interview, thanks! Seems like a lot of teams are changing around a bunch after this season, but glad Prime seems like it'll still hang on! :D

I wonder if kespa was less forgiving of byun with his matchfixing past...

But then again, they let coca, who was byun's co-conspirator, play in proleague too.
If you don't like it, you can quit.

That "match-fixing" was not really conventional match-fixing. It was like an accident because of they were young, and totally didn't realize they were doing it. Don't take it out of context please.

They discussed match-fixing in INGAME chat! Come on, obviously no serious person would do that, obviously it was an accident. Like fuck, Coca was 17 at the time, and Byun was 18.

If it weren't for MKP, Prime would not be known as much as it is now, that is 100% for sure(chances are they probably would not have gotten a sponsorship either lol). You could make arguments for Creator but no one thinks of him when you hear Prime, everyone thinks of MKP. MKP is the most deserving of them all and he gets shhhhhhafted ;/

Poor MKP

Q: It's true that PRIME has been around since the beginning of SC2. How come PRIME is still here and fighting whereas almost all the of teams that were created at the same time are gone ?

Well we always had a player doing well in tournaments so that helped keeping fans around.
When we created this team, we had one goal in mind : be on the top of the [starcraft] world. We never lost sight of this goal and we are continuing going for it, for our fans and everybody supporting us.


Wow this hit me pretty hard actually. Taking a look at Liquipeida, the only teams left from GSTL number 1 are Prime and Startale...and besides those two the only other two teams from even further back, GSL 2010 Open Season 1, are the foreign participants- EG and Liquid. (oGs, ZeNEX, fOu/FXO, TSL, IM, SlayerS all gone, most long ago)

I can't say I've ever been really impressed with Gerrard, to be quite honest - the team seemed to always really rely on star, talented players, never acquiring or really rigorously training up many new ones, and then having his stars leave one by one. But considering the team's longevity compared to its peers, it's really an amazing feat to keep things going for so long. Hopefully this new sponsor will really lead to a PRIME revival!

I would like to say few words to Gerrand but I think he doesn't read TL (:. So all I will say is that fans will there for PRIME (not only MK(P)) and a lot of ppl have been looking on States result so I think as time will go and state will have some good results you will have a lot of new fans not even from korea ^^

Poor MKP


I will answer this and took you out for a kid dream u living in !

You have a team (already expecting u have no idea about financial stuffs) you will do a interviews with players take them to the commercial medias and stuffs and everything you made from it will be used as salary. I don't know about Korean laws but there if you not pay electricity bills, water, food etc. etc. you mostly likely die and your house will be executed. I bet every cent of my money that PRIME leadership talked with players and their "salaries" were used to keep PRIME going. I think most of them were happy that they have food, place to practice and team spirit. Even Gerrand saying MKP sacrifice alot (prolly means the money he could make somewhere else)... so that's it. We all know fat american kids would cry like ***** and leave team after one month without salary, because rich parents will fix your life )!

P.S: User was warned for this post inc... but this guy is a douche-bag and has no clue about how hard is to run a team

Q: And there is another player that i want to ask you about, all the fans are asking about him. There are some rumors he went to the military, or that he is in the hospital…Where is (T)ByuN ?

I don't know ! Maybe he started his civil service [NDLR: An alternative to military service where you work for the city instead of the military], i think he is at his house now. To be honest i don't really know he is always living like a shadow !


Then go to that house and ring the friggin bell! It´s not that hard!
