Light: 'Brood War will be the last pro-gaming thing I do.'

Artosis and Hwanni continue their Pro Team adventures as this time they eagerly enter the home of MBC Hero to have a chit-chat with their head coach as well as two of the greatest Terrans out there at the moment - Light and Sea[Shield]. Together with the BroodWar and Star Leagues discussions, they find time to talk about StarCraft 2 and its future in Korea.

Artosis: SC2 beta has been released and the full version will come soon. Have you looked it over and do you think it has some potential as an eSport in Korea?
MBC Head Coach: If it is good enough, SC2 will change the eSport some day. However, I would like SC1 to stay a little bit longer, as it took some long time for us to evaluate it as a Korean eSport. The skills acquired by the good players like Flash and Light are hard, they're somewhat considered an art. Lots of coaches and players and everybody else in the eSport have put their lives, effort and money into SC1 so it will be a bit pity to lose it some day.

After the head coach, Artosis and Hwanni have the chance to talk in great detail to the notorious Light and in conclusion they turn to Sea[Shield] for a few quick questions.

Artosis: SC2 beta was recently released. Have you tried it and would you consider playing it if it becomes the leading eSport in Korea?
Light: I've played a couple of games. It's OK, it has nice graphics but it is really hard to distinguish your troops when the two players are making the same unit. I tried to change the graphics but it didn't work out. Currently, I like SC1 more.

Artosis: If, say, Korea switches to SC2 at some point, will you retire or we will still have the chance to see you play professionally?
Light: SC1 will be the last pro-gaming thing I do. I have put my entire life in it and there are so many things I haven't tried out just waiting for me.

Artosis: In the past you said that when SC2 comes out you'd love to go around the world and play in tournaments. Now SC2 is almost done, do you still wanna do that?
Sea[Shield]: I wish to, but there is the army as well. But if I get the chance I want to do it badly.
