Interview of SeleCT after he wins the Undeniable Tournament #5. He talks about his tournament win and his biggest upcoming events. Check it out below.



Bio:
Name - Kyunghyun Ryoo
Age - 22
Nationality - Korean

Favorites:

Unit - Ghost
Unit to Kill - Stalker
Match-Up - TvT
Player - Jaedong from SC1
Player to play against - Sjow
Thing to do besides gaming - Watch Korean Drama


Interview:


Hey Select! To start, could you give a brief description of yourself and your gaming background?

Select:
Hi my name is Kyunghyun Ryoo and I'm korean but living in the USA. I used to be war3 progamer back in the days and also won WCG twice playing Dawn of War.

You finished first today in our Undeniable Tournament #5, winning $75 for first place! How do you feel?

Select
: Haha I finally won the tournament. Ive tried twice before but i failed both times. I finally feel calm.

Any players you thought were particularly tough in the tournament?

Select: I think Fenix was the toughest opponent in the tournament, but he lost to Silver.

What has been your most gratifying SC2 Tournament win?

Select: Zotac Cup #21 and also the TL Open #1 Tournament.

You have been climbing the ladder quite well in the short while that SC2 has been out. Also done amazing in a ton of great tournaments. Any big tournaments coming up for you?


Select: I'm going to MLG in Washington D.C., and right after the MLG I have Blizzcon. Which means I need to play tons of practice games.

Anybody you think will be tough to beat at MLG?

Select:
Huk, and most other Terrans. TvT is actually hard. =)

What place in your division / points are you currently sitting at?

Select:
#1 in my divison with 2,075 points.

Over 2000 points! That's amazing. Happen to know your win %?

Select: 71%

Whats your best and worst match-up right now?

Select: I don't really have a best and worst match up, everything is almost the same. But vs Zerg is my weakest because there is not many decent Zerg on the US Server unlike the Korean Server, so I can't practice.

Well, thanks for playing in the UT5 and taking the time to interview with me SeleCT! Good luck in all your future games and tournaments. I'll see you at MLG.

Wow! What a great interview! Thanks!

It's really intressing how Silver is able to beat some big names but I dont see many of his games, I want to see more of this guy.

SeleCT is so awesome at over 2k points on the ladder, I only have 1k, thats half of his!

Select is really good, however I just am not a fan at all. I think it's part of his "Korean demeanor", he just doesn't have the flair and personality that a lot of other top foreign players have. Nice interview though :D

uh, he just said he is going to blizzcon, does this mean the american invitees were really based on ladder rankings or what?

blizzard should just release the list of attendees now before someone 'leaks' the information eventually.

I do hope they release the Blizzcon attendees as well. Hopefully they will soon.

Also, replays are coming for SeleCT's UT5 finals matches against Spades.

When the Top 200 came out I tried to track down some replays of SeleCT but for a top tier player his games are surprisingly hard to find.

Decent interview. Make it longer next time! Hope Blizzcon wasn't all based on ladder rankings. Not all of the top ladder players are as good as other possible invitees imo.
Life is Good.

I'll make sure to get a longer interview next time! Time was against us last night sadly.


SC2replayed.com seems to be having some issues, I'll get up the replays as soon as possible!

It's true though, at least quantity-wise. Europe is slightly better, but Korea is tops in that regard, no questions about it.
