StarcraftHistorian: You’ve missed some events this year you usually would have attended, like TSL and Cheesadelphia, are you still fulltime with Starcraft?

Neeb: No, I was fulltime for 6 years, so now I’ve been going to school and stuff.

StarcraftHistorian: Oh cool, what are you going to school for?

Neeb: Computer science

StarcraftHistorian: Sow How are you feeling about your form at the moment?

Neeb: For my form, I’m feeling pretty good, I haven’t been playing all that much recently because I’ve been busy with school but I feel like doing school work is a mental exercise that kind of translates over to Starcraft.

StarcraftHistorian: Are you still living in the capital region?

Neeb: No, I don’t live in Albany anymore. I go to Binghamton University, so I moved two hours west for that.

StarcraftHistorian: Considering you mentioned you’re attending university, It sounds like you have plans for life after Starcraft, is that true?

Neeb: Yeah, because I’ve been in school I feel like I have a pretty solid path ahead of me after Starcraft. It’s kind of uncertain what’s going to happen to Starcraft after this year, or next year.

StarcraftHistorian: Have you heard anything about a new contract regarding the continuation of the SC2 scene?

Neeb: If I had heard anything, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to say, but I really haven’t heard anything.

StarcraftHistorian: That makes sense. Who do you not want to face at this event?

Neeb: I don’t want to face Serral or Maru, the best players, kind of cliche but, they’re the hardest guys to face. If you don’t play well even a little, you just lose.

StarcraftHistorian: What do you think about Triggers form? He really seems to be rising.

Neeb: Yeah, Trigger is really good, he’s definitely on the rise. Though sometimes he can be a bit too aggressive, sometimes he’ll try to force something and make uncharacteristic mistakes.

StarcraftHistorian: What do you think about Frost Giant, are you excited for Stormgate?

Neeb: Yeah, I’m excited to see what Frost Giant can do with Stormgate. I don’t like to get over hyped for these things because we still have to see what it’s going to be. We’ve only seen some trailers, we haven’t seen any actual gameplay or anything so, it’s too early to tell. Though I am definitely interested. I’ll likely put some time into that, along with school, after Starcraft.

StarcraftHistorian: Did the poor graphics in the trailer scare you?

Neeb: I don’t think graphics matter all that much, but I will say though I like the Sci-Fi aspect of Starcraft, I like that kind of environment. I’m not as much of a fan of the Demons vs. Humans thing, it’s very different, but it won’t stop me from playing it.

StarcraftHistorian: I’m assuming at this point you won’t be going back to Korea for Starcraft?

Neeb: Well I have a couple months off school between semesters, so I might go to Korea If a GSL Season lines up or something. I also just really liked Korea, so I might go back to just hangout with my team or something, between semesters.

StarcraftHistorian: How’d you get hooked up with a Korean team?

Neeb: The Onsyde Boss has been a Starcraft fan for a while now, and he’s been a fan of mine for a while now, and we’ve interacted within the scene. He reached out to me because he wanted to recruit me.

StarcraftHistorian: Do you still feel like the KESPA Cup is your best tournament win?

Neeb: Yes, definitely. KESPA Cup is still my best win.

StarcraftHistorian: I do remember the weird feeling in the community. We were all sort of in awe; you were the first foreign champion in Korea in 16 years

Neeb: It was crazy to me too, I hadn’t won any tournaments before that, and my first one just happened to be in Korea, and it’s still my best result.

StarcraftHistorian: You ended up going on a tear after that, winning every premier NA title.

Neeb: Yeah that was the next year.

StarcraftHistorian: Do you think that KESPA Cup win put you in the mindset to win all those events after that?

Neeb: I’m not sure about the mindset thing, but it definitely helped me prove to myself that I can win when I’m playing my best.

StarcraftHistorian: Thank you so much for taking the time man, that’s all I’ve got for you.

Neeb: Yeah definitely, no problem.

For someone who calls himself the StarcraftHistorian, the research you did was mediocre at best and mostly covered the same topics Neeb discussed in his interview back in Valencia this sommer.

Sorry you felt that way! Are there questions you would have asked Neeb that I didn't cover here? I'd love to incorporate them into a follow up if I get the chance. Cheers!

I think you don’t realize how hard it is to get players to answer to your interview questions when you are a relatively random person in the StarCraft community.
Previously I prepared questions for like 16 players which took a lot of time. I tried to contact every one of them, got only 2 or 3 to answer back and only 1 actually answered the interview questions: ShoWTimE.

Given that fact, just getting an actual interview is awesome, even though the content might have been discussed somewhere else!

I hope you keep doing / trying to do content @op, passion is what keeps the game alive when its creator has left its game to rot with a bunch of cash into another company.

I appreciate your support Poopi =D

It most definitely is a challenge to get interviews, but I did my best. Though I am open to any sort of criticism, as long as it's at least somewhat constructive.

Much love <3

You know I didn't really think about how it was done in the past. I had all the text bold, but Wax had told me on Reddit to alternate between bold and non-bold. When I was deciding what to bold, I saw it as highlighting the more important info, which to me was the responses, rather than my words.

Do you all agree the reverse is the better way to do it? If so I'll do that in the future.

I think question in bold is easier because you have to read the question first

I am not sure if one is factually better or not but I feel like I wont be the only person to notice this

Interesting character development for Neeb, who was a fire truck in his first interview in 2013.
very illegal and very uncool
