Okay this is a really hot seat question, is there any chance that you could get your dog and answer this question with him/her... (wait for him to get his dog)(zombie grub could talk about her cat :3) ... would you rather choose your dog or StarCraft 2?

To Creator:
Could you give us a strong message to Dark, if not, how were you feeling that after the GSL Super tournament, you were able to put him down to the lower bracket.

To Zest:
There are 2 options to reach IEM Katowice Trophy, according to the Guinness world record, 10,507 is the highest non-stop push-up number, would you rather reach at least 5,000 non-stop push-ups or play StarCraft 2? lol

If you couldn't listen to your own playlist while laddering/practising and had to use another progamer's ladder/practise playlist, whose playlist would you use instead of your own?

Which progamer has the worst ladder/practise playlist?

If you couldn't represent yourself in a GSL group selection type situation and had to pick someone else to represent you instead, which fellow progamer would you entrust to represent you in such a situation?

Do you want to hear him say it clearly in his own words on stream? We know already the answer to this. His soul was crushed and all that's left is his spirit.
Too many coinflip losses, too many losses that he felt he couldn't do anything to win, too many percieved imbalances, too many game mechanics that aren't appreciated. It's only his spirit that keeps him in the game now.

Letting people who swap names tell the community why is actually a very inclusive thing.
Bogus->INnoVation is very old now. The new name was very fitting as he, the Machine, was an innovation. It would have been worse if he called himself INnoVator. All he really innovated was a few mechanical timing builds and some cheeses. The amount to which he tweaked those build for maximum efficiency was amazing, though.
SpeCial has changed many times, but he was called Major for a long time.
Salvation->Forte happened several years ago now. Salvation vs Cure on King Sejong station is his most impressive game IMO.
Trust->ViViD->YB (IIRC) is quite recent. The team league build planner is back in a team league and can help his team plan their strategies.
Rattata is very recent change as well, maybe the most recent among all.
