Your secret to Muta-Micro.
You can only do it over UDP, it’s impossible to do it on BNet. It’s not hard, if you practise a lot, you can do it. All you have to do is move, attack, retreat; move, attack, retreat.
Why can you only do it over UDP but not BNet?
BNet has a lot of people online, so the latency is usually high, and so you can’t do things like muta-micro. It’s much faster on UDP so it is possible to do.
Who do you think is the toughest ZvZ opponent?
The outcome of a ZvZ match up is mostly determined by the strategies involved, and therefore there isn’t a touch or easy opponent, it’s all the same.
What made you determined to become a progamer?
I wanted to become pro; I wanted to be on top. I think you’ll get the same response regardless who you ask.
The game that you remember most clearly?
The Gillette OSL’s dual league, I had boxer and oov in my group.
Anything you want to say to those who want to become progamers.
If you really want to do it, then you must be determined and try really hard, or else don’t do it.
Who do you think is the strongest Terran player?
In my opinion, there are three: Xellos, Nada and Iloveoov. They are the strongest overall.
Before you were a pro, how many hours did you practise per day?
About 50 practice games everyday.
Do you have a favourite celebrity? If so, who?
Kim-Tae Hee, she’s just too beautiful (boxer likes her as well)
Your most respected player, and your toughest opponent?
I respect Boxer the most. My toughest opponent is myself.
Have you given up the online game you used to play?
Yes, I gave it up totally.
How will it feel to be number 1?
I’ve never been number 1, so I don’t really know. If I do become No. 1, I think I’ll be really happy. After becoming a pro, the goal is to win leagues and become No. 1, of course you’ll be happy when your dreams come true.
Closest progamers to you
Other than my team-mates, I’m pretty close to Team Go’s players, such as Xellos, midas and foru, I have a lot of close friends other than those as well.
Any superstitious beliefs?
I had a lot of those before, but not so much recently. Before, if it rained or snowed, then I would win, but I didn’t win the last OSL, the whether God didn’t help me (figure of speech).
Has the female fan-count increased?
I think so, because I see more and more females cheering for me.
When you play against Terran, you try to be aggressive, is there a reason to that?
When I’m playing this way, I have good macro, and I think if I play defensively and carefully, it’s not fun for me to play nor my fans to watch, so I choose to be offensive, to make the match more interesting.
Feelings after the IOPS OSL final?
Because I lost, that night I felt really sad and depressed, but after that, I feel okay again. I lost because I didn’t play well, not anyone else’s fault.
People say GoRush is your toughest opponent, what do you think of him?
GoRush is an excellent player, but his style differs greatly from mine, and so I can’t comment much about him.
If you had a son and he wanted to become pro, what would you do?
I’ll let him do what he wants to do as long as it’s not something bad. I’ll let him do whatever I can think of.
What race is the easiest to play against?
When I play against Protoss, I feel confident. It seems Z>P from a racial point of view.
Anything you want to do after retiring?
I haven’t thought of retiring yet, I’ll think about it.
Your favourite nicknames?
"Beef steak"and “God of War”. “Beef steak” sounds better.
Your mouse and keyboard?
Mouse is Logitech and keyboard is ___________, mouse pad is _____________. (Sorry! Can’t translate)
People say if you lose weight, you’ll be very handsome, and what do you think?
Emmm, losing weight can be difficult because I’m exercising even less. Looking at my photos from childhood years, I can’t even recognize myself. I don’t think I’ll be handsome after losing weight, but I think I’ll be decent-looking at least.
Last words to your fans.
Thank you, I will play exciting matches for those who have been supporting me. Dokdo is ours, long live Korea.
