Q: Were you worried at all about going to Korea, as far as living there is concerned and adapting to the culture and language?A: No I wasn't really worried at all. These are modern times and the world is well connected. For me, coming here was really no big deal. It was a quick decision and I have absolutely no regrets.
Q: How do you feel being one of the ‘foreign’ scene’s biggest hopes in competing with the Koreans? Does it give you a lot of added pressure?
A: It's a lot of pressure but I don't try to think too much about it. The best thing is just to focus and play. If it does one thing though it motivates me to know that people stand behind me and support me.
Q: You played Random for quite some time before finally deciding on Terran, and you were very successful doing so. Do you think sometime in the future you might change races again?
A: Yeah, maybe I'll switch again. But right now I am quite happy with Terran. But who knows, I might try Zerg again if I get bored with Terran :P
Q: You are easily the most creative player around right now, could you give us a little insight on how you come up with such interesting strategies and tactics?
A: They come to me quite naturally. I think a lot about the games, but new strategies usually come to me spontaneously and are normally not planned in advance.
Q: Korea already seems to be moving ahead in terms of growth with SC2, are you worried at all that the rest of the world might fall behind much like they did in SC:BW?
A: Of course Korea has the biggest infrastructure when it comes to E-sport and they will be ahead of us Europeans, but I doubt the gap is gonna be as big as in SC:BW. Starcraft 2 has the potential to make the E-sports scene really big in other parts of the world as well.
