I was able to talk with Life directly after he won the MLG Dallas Championship. He was really, really tired so a lot of his answers are short, but was able to give a little insight into being the only back-to-back StarCraft 2 champion, being Flash twice in the process.

Being Flash twice is too much for the human body to handle. Kudos to Life for even doing the interview in that condition !

Kinda surprised that he agrees that mines are OP considering how well he deals with them.

Answers were so brief because he was so tired and hungry. And humble .

Life always gives short answers.
I remember Khaldor mentioning this in the either up and downs or GSTL pre season.

Next time you should just give the answer and have them try to figure out the questions.
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

Are most koreans just naturally shy and afraid to answer things with their opinions ?

lifes ability to 10pool in important matches and do risky aggressive builds combined with his skill makes him an extremely deadly tournament player.

I have found that most of my interviews, the Korean players are just very humble. Some talk more, depending on the situation and who it is. For example:

I love life, but his one line answers are boring as hell. Hopefully, he gets some pointers from MC/MKP who always give more than one liners in interviews.
Top 10 favourite pros: MKP, MVP, MC, Nestea, DRG, Jaedong, Flash, Life, Creator, Leenock

I think that nobody can tell after watching this interview that Life doesn't want to show great games xD, lol - I am sure he want to show great games and If someone thinks that he doesn't want show great games he is noob, moron, idiot and stupid - I assure all of the community of sc2 that Life want to show great games xD

Haha, Life is always like this. It's not being tired, it's his natural state of being.

As far Koreans being humble, I've been pondering if there's not a benefit to it. Resting on your laurels is quite a dangerous thing, always striving to be better is good. For example, someone like Idra would be arrogant to a disturbing degree, blaming outsider factors such as balance or the opponent being an asshole on his losses, and look where he is now. :p There's no excusing how boring the answers are though, haha, that's just bad interview-fu, but you don't have to be arrogant to give good interviews. ;p Just think of someone like Seed, he's also very humble and self-critical, but his interviews are some of the best out there.
