This is when I played my biggest idol in StarCraft II. Besides, maybe … one player that doesn’t play anymore...

= Life, I guess

Congrats! Well deserved victory!


My guess is Jaedong


It's definitely Life. If it was Jaedong, Elazer would mention him by name.

There is like so much "like"...


Agreed. When publishing a written interview you're not supposed to transcribe every single pause, "umm" and "like", especially when talking to a non-native speaker. I understand that one of the goals of the conversation was to show Elazer's emotions after his victory, and some of the stuttering helps to convey that, but this is too much. It's just difficult to read.

I noticed that TL has a strange policy on interviews in general. You guys even give disclaimers when you edit interviews while it should be absolutely clear to everybody that every interview is and should be edited before publication.

If we look a the gap between korean and foreign Terrans by measuring their success with prize money earned, we get a really clear picture.

Prize money earned by the top 10 korean T: $ 3,482,427
Prize money earned by the top 10 foreign T: $ 784,311

Prize money earned by the top 10 korean Z: $ 2,458,458
Prize money earned by the top 10 foreign Z: $ 1,748,632

Prize money earned by the top 10 korean P: $ 3,245,603
Prize money earned by the top 10 foreign P: $ 1,334,427

Numbers taken from https://www.esportsearnings.com/games/151-starcraft-ii/top-players

As we can see the gap between foreign and korean Terrans is huge and, while the numbers are a lot closer for Zerg.

And while Terran is the most successful race in Korea, Zerg is the least successful, just looking at the money. Exactly the opposite is the case in the foreign scene, where Zergs have made more than 3 times as much money as Terrans.

I really wonder what the reasons are for this. I guess Korea always had Terran players as their biggest stars, like Boxer and Flash, while in the foreign scene the earliest star was IdrA, followed by Stephano.

Other than that I wonder if the mechanical requirements for Terran are also a big factor. I guess there are too many reasons that all come together, but it would definitely be good if the situation could balance out, so that going to Korea is no longer the only way to practice your XvT matchup :/.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Yeah, you wrote it only like a hunderd times. Very helpful.

I mean I posted once that it was sad to see him win the tournament. I could be helpful with math also if you are having trouble with it?

Let me help you with your memory. Let's take a quick look at WCS live thread were only a few of your messages weren't expressing how much you don't like Elazer.

Besides, you've got nearly 5k posts, probably like 4k of them were bashing Nerchio (some anti-Polish sentiment?). This is getting really old. But haters gonna hate, right?
