“
I started to slip as I started to take sc seriously during high school, which affected me a lot with friends and school”- It affected me a lot, some of my friends left me and I do poorly in school.
What is your school background?
- I'm currently in my first year of college. I was top of the whole class up until 2nd year of high school then I started to slip as I started to take sc seriously during high school, which affected me a lot with friends and school.
What are you studying?
- I study biology, I'm interested in tarantulas and many other insectoid lifeforms.
What do you plan on doing with your life once SC is no longer popular and sponsored?
- I think SC2 will come out when SC loses popularity and sponsoring. And even if SC loses that I will become a Tarantula breeder. I like them very much ^_^. I want to get many tarantulas in Korea and study them.
What are your thoughts on the new proleague maps? Balanced/Fun? If not, how so?
- I think the new proleague maps are a remake of old maps with a bit of new twist. I don't think they're balanced. They look very bad to me and not fun. Zerg will have the hardest time especially on the map Chupung Ryeong. They need at least 4 gas to move units freely and smoothly.
Have you ever played on TV?
- Only online streams, on AfreecaTV.
The Sea clan plays a lot of streamed matches how often do you play on them?
- I get asked to go on streamed matches a lot by Sea master and vice master. But I believe my PvZ is lacking some skill. So I don't really go that much.
“
Zerg will have the hardest time especially on the map Chupung Ryeong.”- I get a bit of thrill sensation in me. So it helps me play better.
In offline matches?
- I get nervous so much it drives me mad.
How many hours do you play SC and how many days?
- I start from 9 am to 11 pm almost everyday.
When did you start playing SC?
- I started around 4th 5th grade and up until high school I only played SC for fun.
Do you know anything about the non-Korean scene?
- No idea.
Do you know of the event BlizzCon?
- Of course I do, But I don't like the fact that WoW has 50k for 1st price
What are your thoughts on the foreign community?
- I think having a foreign community is good, since they all look up to Korean scene. They all have much to learn from each other etc.
Would you ever like to come to USA to meet some foreign gamers? Maybe on a event like BlizzCon.
- If I could get visa I would love to. I only see time and money as the only problem though.
Would you ever like to compete in a event such as BlizzCon if you got the opportunity?
- I'd love to play to go play in big contest like BlizzCon. I don't think my skill will be able to back me up though.
Who is your favorite pro gamer and pro team?
- Nal_rA and Samsung KHAN.
How did you come up with your name? does it symbolize anything?
- Nothing really. I wanted to use Sea.Hanbu first, but I took my clan mate's suggestion.
If you had to make a Pro Team such as SKT1 or KHAN, list 5 people who would be in it?
23. gang[auto], sasin)too, rising[kal], kt.mgw)memory and sea.riddle. I just want my closest friends on the team.
Any last words?
24. It was longer then you mentioned ^^. The interview gave me time to think back to my life as playing StarCraft. It was very fun ^_^. If we ever meet in real life I would love to buy you food.
Special thanks to O)Spirit, nongminbonggi and BeDazed.
