A recent interview was just done with the protoss legend and ex-professional gamer Guillaume Patry, also known as GiYom and Grrrr.
Recently, UZOO.com caught up with
GiYom to talk about his life after his pro-gaming career. 
GiYom: "Now I hardly ever play Starcraft"
GiYom has stated in the interview that he rarely plays Starcraft unless there's some sort of event. He spends most of his gaming time playing a WarCraft III UMS game by the name of DOTA.
He talks about some of the other foreigners in South Korea. He mentions
Assem and how he was surprised about how much he has improved since he has been in 
South Korea and humerously talks about 
Legionaire's current skill.
GiYom: "I always considered Bertrand my rival"
He mentions when asked about his pro-gaming career that his rival was always
Elky (right) who's also his roomate. While both training they would bet money on eachother and buy lunch together.Quite a bit is mentioned about his most memorable games and what he had wished he could have changed in the past. Even after his many victories and memorable games.
GiYom: "players are on a completely different level"
He talks about how current pro-gamers are at a much higher level then players in the past. Also, hinting about how much pro-gaming has changed since he started several years ago. He would play major matches in a small area with not a whole lot of people watching several years ago. As opposed to current pro-gaming matches with thousands of spectators.
“ I should’ve tried so much harder” |
Near the end of the interview he apologizes for not trying hard enough and being lazy during his time as a pro-gamer. He is very thankful for his fans and the for their support.
