Our resident SCII writer Stephen "stuchiu" Chiu was recently interviewed by Thooorin for goldper10.com. In their chat, they talk about the game's history and some of its most special players.

Check out their interview for great statements like this one...

MKP on the other hand had some obvious problems. One of the most mechanically gifted players, but also one of the most stupid.

... and get some insight into stuchiu's mind. It's a read well worth your time!

Good to see that Stuchiu sticks with his convictions. :D

The problem with him was that he was getting figured out by Koreans (most notably Symbol learned he only did 2 builds in TvZ -CC first and 11/11, both get beaten by a 7 roach rush)

Marry me stuchiu

Great interview and great read, I only disagree with Rain being under-appreciated. No one has ever underrated Rain. He's a beast and is also treated as such by fans and players alike.

You only got this response because Parting is a fan-favourite, stuchiu.

I'm pretty sure that Rain was picked out by iloveoov back a long time ago to become a force to be reckoned with in the years to come back when iloveoov gave his retirement interview of sorts.

I loved how he simply called MKP stupid. Surprised he didn't mention Flash as one of the most stubborn players; annoyed how people were saying that Life was better than soO in 2014. I liked the random Has praise at the end but not liked there's not a single mention of Zest in the whole interview (tho I understand why he doesn't catch stuchiu's eye).

So super nice read, great questions and great answers. I sometimes don't agree with stuchiu in his assessments but I enjoy so much his writing!

I don't agree with everything stuchiu said, especially the Rain and Stephano parts but besides that it's a great interview. stuchiu knows a ton about SC2 and reading his articles is always a treat. =)

Great words from the great man. I especially loved his explanation for mechanics being overrated.

I'm surprised about stuchiu's opinion about Stephano and BL/infestor. I always thought that the prominence of BL/infestor harmed him as he had to play more ZvZs than before.
