What is the largest change from how [player] prepared for bo3+ series early on in their career compared to now?

What advice do you wish you shared with your younger self?

What took you a long time to learn about the sc2 pro scene?

What do most people not know about life as a pro gamer?

If you were not a pro in sc2, what game would you be playing? If you were not in e-sports, what would you be doing?

Koreans, has Serrals rise starting in 2017 changed how you view foreigners as competition?

Which victory in a bo3+ are you the most proud of and why (in your entire career)?

For you, when was the/your Golden Era in Starcraft 2 and why?

Hottest body : Zest or JaeDong?
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

You get/have to play an Archon match against GM level players. Which caster would you want on your team? (TY doesn't count as a caster)

In your opinion, what is the most iconic moment in SC2 (going back as for as WoL?)

Who would you most like to see return to the pro SC2 scene?

Any particular location you would hope hosts an offline tourney?

What unknown/up and coming players are you aware of that the scene should watch out for?

When would you say you really "made it" as a progamer? Meaning when did you look around and think "so this is my life now?"

Would you ever consider being an SC2 coach after you retire?

What's the most general piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to raise their MMR? What would you say to someone that's plateaued and frustrated with where they're at?

What kind of show match would you like to be a part of? (FFA, archon, teams, special rules like TL attacks, mono battles, a tournament with hidden identities etc.)

Who would win in an archon 1v1, your family or [player's] family?

What do you think the SC2 professional scene needs right now more than anything? Ex: Funding, fan engagement, Proleague revival, Korean involvement, teamleagues in general, more new players at the high level, etc.

Are specific players questions allowed or why is everyone posting non specific players questions?

For koreans: If you started your career a few years later, would you still choose Starcraft 2 or would you have chosen League of Legends or much later Overwatch?
For non-koreans (kinda same but...): If you started your career a few years later, would you still choose Starcraft 2 or would you have chosen League of Legends/DOTA2/CS:GO or much later Fortnite?

Also:
For koreans: do you think Korean was so dominant in StarCraft because of the infrastructure / teamhouses etc., and/or because of PC bangs, and/or because competition is present even at school, compared to other countries where it's not the case?
For non-koreans: do you think region locking helped the foreign scene catch up to koreans to some extent? and/or you think the gap would be closing at a similar pace anyways because there is no new blood in the korean scene whereas there is some in the foreign scene?

That's all for non player specific questions

Do you think there will continue to be a StarCraft II pro scene in the next few years?
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Do you use Archon Mode to practise specific match ups?
(Like Reynor did for Katowice)
If so/ if not, why do you use it/ Don t use it?

How do you prepare in general? Do you have coaches?

Who do you look up to as a role model? (Can be outside of esprots)

A King of Battles interview on day 1 was very interesting. It was the first time I saw a language barrier interview that went long and both the player and the casters were laughing and smiling. I think the question about whether or not the player liked its anime redemption arc was a good start. It was a personal question that also joked.

I think personalized questions really are better than generic questions, but they are harder to just pick from a forum.

A special question for Time, feel free to rephrase it if you want:

''The Chinese Starcraft 2 fans sometime give nicknames to certain players or have some meme around someone, like with (T)INnoVation. Are you aware of any nicknames or memes around other players from the chinese scene and the story around it?

If you had to pick two progamers to have as your parents, who would you pick?

If you had to live life as a SC2 unit, which would you pick and why?

Whose the strongest progamer?
