Bisu, 30 Questions and 30 Answers









Questions from the operator (T/N: They mean the Fomos person who made this article)



1. Your top three websites that you visit?

My fan café, Fomos, and Nate





2. Do you visit Fomos a lot? If so, what do you look at the most on that site?

I visit the site often and I read a lot of the articles.





3. How did you start Brood War? How did you pick the race Protoss and how do you group your units? Also, how do you set up your hotkeys for your screen?

One of my relative hyungs took me to an internet café, which is when I started playing. The standard units for Protoss are relatively stronger than the standard units for other races and it was easier to play as when I first started.



My grouping for my PvZ, for example, would be:

1, 2 – zealots

3 – dragoons

4 – high templars

5 – observer

6, 7, 8, 9 – gateways



I usually put f2 as my main, f3 for gateways, and f4 for my natural expansion





4. What is the longest time you’ve practiced without stopping?

I don’t remember the exact time but the most number of games I played continuously in one sitting is 45 to 50 games.





5. If you were a manager and you had to make a team, who would you pick? Please give reasons too (2 Terran, 2 Zerg, 2 Protoss, and nobody from your own team).

Terran – Flash and Sea

Zerg – Jaedong and Hydra

Protoss – Stork and Snow



I don’t have anything to say about the first three players I chose [for each race]. I would pick Sea because he is very consistent and has shown many good performances in Proleague. Hydra seems to be playing very well these days and Snow seems to have a unique style of PvZ that I think is interesting.





6. Which game do you think is your personal best one ever? Worst one ever? And why?

My best game would be my first finals match on March 3rd when I won…because I beat Savior, who was the best player at the time. My worst game would be...actually I forget pretty quickly about the games I lose so I can’t remember. I could choose one from my recent games and it would have to be the game I lost to Flash during Winner’s League…I made a lot of mistakes because I was so nervous.





7. When you don’t have matches, are free, etc. what do you usually do?

I generally don’t like going outside so I either go home or stay in the team house and watch TV or go on the internet…





8. If you suddenly had the power to do so, what three players would you bring to SKT and why?

Flash, Stork, and Jaedong so our team can win…(T/N: and destroy the e-sports industry because TBLS on one team would be so imba no one would want to play anymore)





9. If you could play on another team, which team would it be, and why?

I don’t have a team that comes to mind but every team has good players that I want to sit by and learn from. I’m also curious as to what kind of a mindset other teams play with.





10. Who do you think is the greatest player ever and the greatest Protoss player ever? (please don’t pick yourself)

Skill-wise it would have to be Flash but the best would have to be Boxer…and for the best Protoss player I pick Nal_ra.











Questions from Fomos’ users



1. Wow I’m such a big fan of Bisu!!! Bisu fighting!!! And thank you so much to the Fomos person who made this possible!! People always applaud cool questions and ignore the boring, common ones. I’ll try to ask you some cool questions.



Question 1: Please list “work, money, dating, fans, teammates, family, friends” in order of importance to you today.

Question 2: When do you get feelings like “I really made the right decision to become a progamer! I’m glad I picked Starcraft!”?

Question 3: Also, what kind of words from fans give you the most strength? From recent cheering that you have seen, what has left the deepest impact on you?



- I’ll put family as #1 and everything else as #2……..^_^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Other people that I know actually have those feelings for me…

When a celebrity I knew knew me haha (T/N: no idea what this means..)

The time when I get the most support from fans is when they come to the match location and watch me play. It gives me a lot of strength when I start my game ^_^





2. Like a lot of other Bisu fans, I really wish for a second revolution from you…everyone knows your name in the e-sports industry and everyone recognizes the “March 3rd Revolution” where you showed really unique Protoss play in the MSLs. I think it’s about time that you become more ambitious about starleagues. If you got to the finals of a starleague again, who would you want to face and why?



- I’m also pretty disappointed that things don’t always happen my way…I think it would be fun to have a finals with Jaedong…it’s been a while since I’ve done a Bo5 with a Zerg player. Please wait! I will do my best to show a better side of me.





3. Hello, I am a progamer wannabe…haha. When I’m practicing, sometimes I feel lonely and depressed…when you were a just a practice partner, when you felt unsure of yourself or when you couldn’t concentrate, how did you manage yourself?



- One year after I joined POS (T/N: Pirates of Space, now MBC Game) I had a lot of stress about whether to continue playing as a progamer…I think at the time I only thought of good moments and good situations to help me. Don’t think bad thoughts and I hope you just focus on the game!





4. Whenever I see your interviews I think you have a lot of force. When you make public appearances I can feel it but it’s nothing compared when you are actually playing. When you are practicing, do you secretly watch videos of girl groups and want to watch them? I’m also interested in what you are interested in besides games (likes politics, economics, society, culture, sports)



- I don’t think I can really get into anything else besides games…I do like girl groups but I’m not someone whose crazy about them, I just watch them if I see them on somewhere. There are things that leave an impact on me but after about a week I forget about them. I can’t think of anything that I really like…





5. What do you think about your appearance? What is the part of your appearance that you like the most and the least?



- I like my eyes the most. I don’t have any part of my body that I don’t like ^_^





6. I think March 3 would be a very special day for you. How do you see that day as a progamer? Also, I’m wondering if you still have contact with former MBC Game Coach Ha.



- I feel like I’m living a second life because of that day. Even after I moved to SKT, I still talk with a lot of people from MBC Game.





7. A lot of people say that your PvT is bad but what do you think about it? Also, do you feel that your PvZ is more comfortable playing than your PvT (T/N: what kind of question is this omg)?



- I think it’s because Terran has siege tanks but Zerg doesn’t have units like that. I feel like I’m not making progress on my PvT right now but I think I can get better at it if I practice a little harder.





8. I’m really curious as to when you will become friends with Jaedong! You got to know Stork really well in 2009…and I heard you two practice together a lot. Have you not started using informal talk with Jaedong yet? (T/N: Koreans use formal talk to older people, strangers, and acquaintances, and then use informal talk to friends, family, younger people)



- No I actually haven’t started using informal talk to him yet. I guess there will be opportunities in the future to become close to him?





9. Stork once said in an interview that you go a short way if you go alone and you go a long way if you go with someone else. I want to know more about your rivalries. Who do you feel are your rivals and how do you think of your rivalry with Stork?



- It’s not about beating one person and it’s always a pretty close match and fun when I play Stork. A lot of the games that I play with him remain in my memory so I hope we both can play well and meet each other at a higher place!





10. For current progamers, it feels like facing a brick wall if they want to beat Flash, the best player right now, so there’s a lot of anticipation for you since you are an S-class player just like him. Do you have the confidence to beat Flash and do you have a secret plan to do so?



- Flash seems like he could have a weak point somewhere but when you play him he actually doesn’t have any. I wonder what kind of a mindset he practices with and plays matches with. I make a lot of mistakes when I play against really skilled players so if I can decrease the number of mistakes I make, I think I can win.





11. A lot of people in the community say that your carrier micro is bad but how do you usually practice using carriers and how do you feel about your carrier play?



- I used a carrier build on a televised game simply because it went well during practice. It didn’t go very well during the game but I know what I did wrong and I’m working to fix it right now.





12. After I saw you beat some of the greatest players with your amazing Protoss play when you were only just starting your career, I have been your fan for several years now. I think I’ve seen almost every single game you’ve played since that time…so I’m kind of sad that you aren’t doing so well in the individual leagues. Are you making any kind of special preparations to be able to win a Starleague?



- Rather than trying to make a special build or strategy, I’m just focused on practicing as many games because I feel that the fundamentals are really important. I’ll practice hard so that I can show better performances.





13. Hello, ever since the GOM TV starleagues I will forever be Bisu’s fan…^0^

I usually gather all your games and watch them at one time when I’m free. Do you remember a game that you will never forget? Please pick one each from an MSL, OSL, and Proleague.



- I’ve mentioned it once before but I won’t ever forget the date March 3, when I won the MSL. I don’t really have any games that I remember from the OSLs =_=; I guess when I recently beat Mind and Hyvaa and went up the brackets?.......I’ve played so many Proleague games but the games I won against Jaedong are some that come to mind….





14. In TBLS, which player do you feel is the most difficult to face and why? Also, which race do you feel is the hardest to play and why? (I pray for you to win another starleague)



- All three players are hard to face in a game but since my PvT isn’t that great, Flash would be a little more difficult opponent..





15. Among TBLS, you have the most number of fans and the most number of antis as well. How do you feel when you see your antifans?



- Please don’t criticize me harshly when I lose, just appropriately please…getting hit by a whip is ok though! (T/N: I translated this literally...please don't interpret it literally haha)





16. Sending +1 speedlots early in the game against Zerg has been really impressive but now I think they’ve learned to counter it pretty well. You also mentioned that you expected to play Hydra in your interviews. Other players all try to read your builds and counter them…how do you feel about that?



Also, Shine has beaten you several times before but this time you got your revenge, but do you still have confidence to beat him if you meet him again in a match? Also, Zero-Hero-Shine are called the “X-pa” (T/N: no clue what this means but I think the name is supposed to refer to “Bisu beaters”? Iono) so how do you feel about that?



A lot of progamers are having health problems these days so I hope you practice hard and stay healthy. I love you^^



- The zealot rush is simply part of a build that I had prepared before and my opponents just happened to get more damage than I thought they would and after using this kind of build I’ve made a lot of different kinds of builds but I haven’t been able to show them…I’ve beaten my archenemies a lot of times these days so I don’t feel like I have any major enemies right now…





17. Hello Bisu, I am a 20 year old girl T_T who has watched Starcraft for 10 years now…(T/N: Can I have your number?) I played Brood War a little bit when I was in middle school and after I finished the college entrance exams, I’ve started playing again. I’m a Protoss player! Protoss looks really strong and the archon is my favorite unit. I’ve played as Protoss ever since I started playing Starcraft. Please tell me what you think is the beauty of the Protoss race!



- First, I think Protoss buildings are really small and look beautiful. And when units begin to gather together they become incredibly strong…I really enjoy building an army and Protoss takes less micro compared to the other races…so yeah.





18. I think it is a great honor to be able to ask a question to you. First, you have a really good win record but you often lose to Terran players in important matches so a lot of people say your PvT is weak. Your unit movement and amazing multitasking against Zerg players are your greatest strengths but on the other hand your units move too freely against Terrans and a lot of observers say that you don’t play safely enough. What do you feel about this?



These feelings are a lot stronger after I compare you to Stork, who is considered the best PvT player right now. I hear that Stork often watches your VODs to learn more about playing PvZ.



So don’t you watch Stork’s PvT VODs in order to learn something new about PvT? Or is it simply that you are pretty good at PvT during practice but you just haven’t played well in televised matches?



Please tell me the truth without giving a stock answer. Stork once said that he feels confident in his PvT that he doesn’t watch other PvT VODs to practice.



- I watch almost all Protoss players’ VODs. Stork hyung has a style of PvT that I want to learn too. Protoss units die pretty easily if you push them too hard in PvZ and it’s the same in PvT but Terrans have siege tanks and mines which often hurt me a lot more relative to when I play Zerg players. There are a lot of things to fix but it seems like I can’t fix them well.





19. When you played Yellow on…June 6th, 2009? It was a really big thing at the time. What were your feelings when he did an overlord drop on you? It seems like he used a build that you lost to for the first time in your career.



- Yes it was the first time I lost a game to that kind of a build but I remember that my reavers didn’t listen to me very well in that game. I see that game as an experience but Yellow hyung mentions it a lot so it makes me sad ㅠ_ ㅠ





20. You seem really outgoing and talkative when you’re with your teammates but when you do an interview and when you’re on camera, you become timid and you talk timid and why do you become so timid? Aren’t you envious of how Best is always outgoing?



- I think I still haven’t gotten used to being in front of a camera…ㅠㅠ





21. I’m a Bisu fan haha. First, I want to thank the person from Fomos who made this possible and I am going to love Fomos very much for this hahahaha. Bisu, I love…love…I mean I like you haha.



Question!! Even if you are one of the key players in the e-sports industry here, you are still a player so don’t you have some kind of broad goal?? What do you see yourself doing in 10 years? Have you ever thought very specifically about it?



- I hope the fans who cheer for me never forget me. It’s almost happened before. I just want to show the best performances to those who enjoy my games and those who cheer for me! In 10 years I guess I will be a father………..?^^











Bonus: Yes or No questions



1. You see a girl who is very very close to your ideal girlfriend among the fans. Could that girl become your girlfriend?

YES



2. The ideal girl for you has a more sexy look rather than a cute look.

BOTH



3. Your girlfriend’s age doesn’t matter.

YES



4. If you could start playing Starcraft again, you would pick Protoss again.

YES



5. Your PvZ is more comfortable to play than PvT (T/N: such a dumb question omg…)

YES



More Q/A…



This is a question that Stork asked when we did “30 Questions 30 Answers” with him.

“Hey Bisu, I’m not trying to make fun of you but I really like the way you laugh and there a few players in our team that laugh with such a personality like you and I really like it…what do you think?"

I think he is exaggerating too much. I think I laugh pretty normally…but I guess I should control my laughing more often when I’m on TV ㅠㅠ…



This is a question that Shin-ae asked when we did “30 Questions 30 Answers” with her.

“How do you feel about Ji-in? (The real answer and not a stock answer!!)” (T/N: who is Ji-in lol?)

It seems too long ago…please show me the movie!



The next person we are going to do for “30 Questions 30 Answers” is Shark. Please ask a question to Shark that you want the answer to.

Seeing you being a good commentator in Proleague makes me feel happy^^

I hear that you are good friends with many celebrities and public figures. Do you have any interest in becoming a good singer or actor?



And finally, please leave a comment for all the fans who like you!

Please always stay healthy…

And don’t just look right at the life right in front of you, look far into the future.

If you wait for me, I will win for you!
