I usually play SC through the school computer!
How many games/hours do you play a day? Week?
- Sometimes I play 40 games a day around roughly 15 hours. Sometimes very little, but in a week you can average that out ^^

How does SC affect your social life? School?
- I don't study even though I do go to school, I usually play SC through the school computer. It does have an effect on me and my social life but I still have many good friends so doesn't really effect it that much.

What is your school background?
- I got to a industrial information high school. It's a special type of school where you get to have a job right away. That high school also has a game related category for people who wants to get a job related to gaming. There are players better than me at my school.

What type of job are you going to go for?
- Pro gaming :D

Who is your favorite pro gamer and pro team?
- I like SKT1, and the pro gamer JulyZerg.

Produce a lot of units, create drones properly and upgrade well. Make overlords so you can create units. Don't stop making units. Don't let the opponent drop on you.
Is your playing style based on JulyZerg, or do you have your own playing style?
- Nope, I have my own flavors ^_^ It makes the game much more interesting, I advice everyone to play with their own style. ^^

What is your best match up?
- My best is ZvP.

What advice can you give to people improving their ZvP?
- Produce a lot of units, create drones properly and upgrade well. Make overlords so you can create units. Don't stop making units. Don't let the opponent drop on you.

What build order do you recommend in ZvP on Andromeda for example?
- 4 hatch hydra -> lots of drones -> overlord drop. Don't allow the opponent to take an island.

How do you plan on improving your other matches ups considering ZvP is your best?
- I don't really care about ZvZ but ZvT I would plan on improving my mutalisks and multitasking.
