To me Park Sang Ik is by far the coach with the best vision of how to make oGs one of the best know's teams or trademarks not only in Korea but more important internationaly to. Having a well known name and reputation internationaly goes a long way.

Ofcourse Park Sang Ik and Victor's vision on combining the two teams shows how well ahead of the curve they really are.
Something that they did is now being done by many teams, though it would be wrong to say it's excactly the same for Liquid did not wave money around making oGs and Liquid bond even the more unique.

Hope you guys do well in Code A.

Great interview. What are the odds of us getting more interviews with the other head coaches of other teams? I've been sad that Artosis stopped doing house tours

oGs <3

I hope we can see Ret in Korea soonish, he seems much more ready for it now than he was when he just started playing.

I've never been this excited about Code A. There's a ton of interesting players and we even got Khaldor! This will be a good season.

very nice, but Icecream isn't as unexperienced as people might think. He participated in several tlopens and finished quite high. Even though this is nothing compared to sitting in a booth and knowing everybody is staring at you right now, being one amongst the very last players in a tournament is nothing new for him.

The code A balance is " starting to go back to normal" ? Currently we have 17P 10T 13Z from the qualifiers. I hope it is at least normal, and not starting to get normal.
Unless normal is 17 6 17 :D
Good writeup anyway

Oh!? oGs picked up ZENEXIceCream? When did that happen? He was a decent terran ZENEX member if I remember correctly, but like a lot of ZENEX members I expect that in a proper team he might do better. Looking forward to seeing if that indeed happens.

And as always, thanks for the writeup. I hope no games get missed this season? =D

Thanks for the preview.

However, I have to pick a bone with the characterization of TheSTC as a bigger challenge than anything Curious faced last season in Code A. With all due respect to Mr. Choi Yun Sik, recent losses to oGsJookTo and BboongBboongPrime cast some doubt on whether his ZvT win rate is indicative of his present skill in the matchup. On the other hand, aside from his loss to Curious last GSL FXO's Gumiho has not lost a series against Zerg since January, posting a 20-3 record in the matchup since then (his games with Curious aside), and even going 2-0 against Professor Tea at WCG.
