New to StarCraft? Time for a history lesson. IntoTheRain started as an old school protoss gamer and magic user extrordiaire, then advanced to a career in broadcasting after his playing days were over. Last night, our beloved Uhjoo gave our forum members a chance to ask the legend anything they wanted, for a limited time only


Before I start, Ujhoo, You bring value here like no other.

Uhjoo: Ask Questions now and he will answer gogo~

:O The stormgod lives :D
1. Why did he decide to retire?
2. Does he still play at all?
3. Has he ever considered coming back?


IntoTheRain:
1. It wasn't fun anymore. Just got tired of it.
2. I love gaming, but not Starcraft anymore. I play solo-player RPG's like Final Fantasy.
3. Probably not, because of army duties.

Best toss player atm according to him ?


IntoTheRain: No one really stands out now. Everyone seems pretty even. You can't pick a winner if any top two play against each other.

Does he like apple pie ?


IntoTheRain: what kind of question is that?
i like french pie (korean snack)

On November 09 2005 11:10 pubbanana wrote:
Where does he live now that he left the GO team office?


IntoTheRain: kangnam-gu daechi-dong, seoul.

On November 09 2005 11:10 MaGic~PhiL wrote:
For which pro gamers does he have the biggest respect ? ( Grrrr, Boxer, Nada, Garimto .. ect.. aynone else ?? )


IntoTheRain: Those guys who succeed very late, who have worked really hard and for a few years do poorly but later succeed purely through hard work and effort, like GoRush.

On November 09 2005 11:10 FrozenArbiter wrote:
Oh, ask him how he feels about game balance ~ I can't remember ever hearing a toss progamer talk about it :X


IntoTheRain: Nowadays it seems like the balance is great, it seems like whoever is better wins.

how did he come up with IntoTheRain? i always thought it was one of the coolest names...


IntoTheRain:I was in a guild called intothe. When the guild was first made, they made a bunch of id's that we had to choose from. The best id was intotheaiur but that one was taken. Later on that id was stupid. I took the worst one, intotherain.

On November 09 2005 11:12 Smorrie wrote:
What was his best & worst experience during his progaming career?


IntoTheRain: The best: when i won. worst: when i lost in the qualifiers SKY starleague (the one Garimto won).

But i was always happy not to meet zergs in a tournament.

On November 09 2005 11:16 expostfacto wrote:
who is his favorite player to watch?


IntoTheRain: Boxer. He's the most fun, because he's not perfect. He's flawed, but then when he makes up for those flaws it's fun to watch.

If he could be any vegetable he wanted, which one would he be?


Quoting intotherain after he heard the question: do you usually ask questions like this overseas? (then after pause) obviously it's cucumber.

On November 09 2005 11:18 BLaCk,.VipeR wrote:
His favourite final fantasy game?


IntoTheRain: FF X

On November 09 2005 11:20 exalted wrote:
What does he feel about the future of starcraft? How long does he feel it will still remain at this level of competitiveness in Korea?

Does he worry that other progamers like him (especially the long time gamers, like Nada, Boxer) will start to become jaded with the game and play it only as a job now?


IntoTheRain:
First question: Every year people say, it will disappear, but it keeps going year after year, so i guess it will keep going.

Second question: It's obviously a concern. I'm a case of someone who stopped playing because it wasn't fun anymore. But to succeed as a progamer, you have to consider it a job. It's just like another job: if you don't enjoy it, your performance will fall.

1. Favourite match ever played?
2. How come he chose Protoss as his main race?
3. Regretting anything from the professional gaming career?


IntoTheRain:
1st question: can't pick.
2nd question: i always liked magic-using units, like storms. even in warcraft i liked those types of skills, and the high templar had those skills. i like magic units more than regular warrior type units.
3rd question: if i had less success, i might regret it, and although i could've achieved more, i'm rather satisfied. around 70-80% satisfied.

What can he say about AnyTime?


IntoTheRain: Although he won the starleague, i think we still have to wait and see if he will continue to do well. He needs to prove his consistency at this point.

ask him who he tought was the best foreigner ever in korea. (plz say slayer;P)


IntoTheRain: grr...

Uhjoo: Ok, it is 4:20 am, time to say good-bye

Again, thanks a lot Uhjoo, invaluable stuff.

i have a tendency to disagree, since when the questions are pre-prepared the answers are more insightful and thought-provoking

for those of you who missed the thread this was done on the fly and therefore very few questions were compelling

In some thread Uhjoo talked about his experience playing a 3v3 with 2 progamers against at least 2 progamers, all of whom where smurfing. He was Xellos's interpreter at WCG2004, so I guess he has the mad contacts.
