oops, scforall still has some hole in it goddamnit all. i'll let u know when its fixed.

EDIT: its fixed again, it was clean when i posted this, became infected sometime last night. sit tight nerds.



excerpt:



Artosis - When did you start thinking about going to Korea for Starcraft, and

what finally made you decide to take the leap?



Ret - I’ve always wanted to be a pro gamer for Starcraft, and go to Korea.

When I was younger, perhaps the more appropriate age, there were less

foreigners in Korea and contacting pro teams managers was a lot harder

than now. I had never expected that I would still get the chance to go

to Korea, but when the opportunity arose I realized that it was still

my dream and that I wanted to give it my best shot.



Artosis - What are your goals in going to Korea? How long do you intend to stay?



Ret - The immediate goal for Starcraft would be to win the courage

tournament and then perhaps play a Pro League match. But we’ll have to

see what happens when SC2 comes out and how that changes things. I

really don’t know how long I’ll stay, but I intend to stay in

pro gaming for SC2, so it could be a long time.



Artosis - Winning the courage tournament is something that only 1 foreigner

has ever done before (Assem), even though NonY came very close, losing

the finals 1-2 on his first try. Supposedly they have even made it a

much harder tournament now. What time frame do you think you can win

this event in?



Ret - I think my ZvZ will be the only problem with winning Courage. So if

I can get that matchup up to par quickly, I should be a pretty strong

contender. If that happens reasonably quick, I think I could possibly

win it on my first try. But of course to win any tournament with a

strong field of players, you’ll also need some luck.
