Pretty substantial interview. There's interesting stuff said about a wide range of topics. Solar teasing these changes to Code S is sure to make more people nervous.

Yeah exactly, where do you think should these hundreds of players come from?

From today's ESL Open Cup KR most likely.

EDIT: Actually, why not round them up from all ESL Open Cups so far. Might get like 20 players all in all that bothered to play a game?

Byun is indeed back (at least on the korean ladder)
PartinG was playing against Byun on stream 1-2 weeks ago and told his stream it was Byun. He was explaining when you near the end of your Military Service in Korea they allow you to have more PC time.

I think they played about 6 games. PartinG winning 4 and Byun winning 2. PartinG said Byun is nearly as good as top Terrans already and he shouldnt have any trouble competing when he is released from the military.

Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

We should organize a competition between Maru, ByuN and Mvp where all they do is play back to back game versus the IA, the last one able to move his mouse wins.

I'm forever grateful for a true veteran like Solar acting as a kind of voice for the Korean situation. Also, Solar you have fans!

With pro's it's always glass half full. My race is disadvantaged in my format, rather than, in that other format my race would be advantaged.

It's funny cause Solar is like the third youngest Korean around.

Part of his point is that he cannot go and play in that other format though? I didn't think he was complaining about balance.

Thanks for the interview, sweet, Solar also comes across as honest & straightforward. Always found him rather likeable.

Great news about ByuN!

If Solar is right, then ByuN must either be:

http://kr.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/6869409/1/llllllllllll/ or
http://kr.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/7030700/1/llllllllllll/

or he's withdrawn from the league

I don't watch and follow SC2 anymore but ByuN with One Man Army style winning skyrocketed my hype, still remember that GSL finals and Blizzcon. If that crazy micro monster comes back and starts winning things I will watch it 100%.

I think the biggest thing in this interview is Solar confirming 3 Code S tournaments. Tasteless sort of gave it away in his most recent podcast but that's huge and I love it!

Nice interview. I can't wait for IEM Katowice. I have seen very few new Starcraft 2 games for months.

Dafuq is he talking about? I LOVE Solar! Everyone loves Solar!
Everyone who doesn't love Solar should watch some HSC vods


Great interview Wax! Keep em coming!

Yeah, it really underlines how little interaction there are between the Korean and English speaking communities. Would be great if we got more regular info out of there. Like, it's great that there are a number of Chinese posters keeping us informed here.
