I had the opportunity to ask MarineKing a few questions after his second place finish at the GSL World Championships.

As anyone who reads my weekly column knows, I’m a big fan of MarineKing. His creative and aggressive play is entertaining, but more than anything, I love how he wears his emotions on his sleeve. Just by watching his reactions after games you can tell that he’s fiercely competitive and very passionate about StarCraft II.Below is the interview.MKP: It’s my pleasure as this is the first time for me to interview for foreign fans. I’m good to have this chance.MKP: I did my best to prepare for the match against oGsMC at the World championships because I lost once as you know. So, I was rather eager to win when I fell behind 0:2. And I could focus on it and came up from behind. I kept my presence of mind and defended void rays and zealots inside my base. When I came to myself, I was seizing the chance to victory.MKP: The thor rush is very useful to use vs. Protoss as a sudden single-use strategy. Personally, I feel sorry losing that game in vain as I made a mistake in early stage, not repairing the bunker against 1 zealot and 2 stalkers. But I will use the thor rush whenever I have a match against Protoss in the future.MKP: You never touched a sore subject, don’t worry. Rather, I’m proud of having 3 times of finals. The more I have final matches, the more earnest to win I become. So, I become enthusiastic more and more.MKP: Thank you. :DI also think it was the match against Kyrix in the round of 8 at season II the GSL open that I played most risky and nervously. And the match against oGsMC at the World Championship was hardest and happiest play I have played.MKP: I think it is my little strong point for me to control marines delicately compare to other players.MKP: If I have a chance, I will participate Korean matches as well as overseas tournaments.MKP: All of 3 players is top and it is hard to expect. Recently, I’m weak at tvt but NaDa is strong and I’m not sure I can win. For Zenio vs. Alicia, Alicia seems to win easily. Because Alicia is very good player and zvp is leaning to P.MKP: Of course, I want to be the best of SCII. But I also want to be the most popular and I want to remain long in fans’ memories.MKP: I think dimaga and sen for zerg, jinro for terran, huk and whitera for protoss are as good as Korean players.MKP: I’m not good at English and I couldn’t realize the popularity when I visited foreign fan sites. But I think I should play better to show good games to the fans hearing many foreign fans are cheering me. And I love the foreign fans as much as Korean fans, or more.MKP: I really appreciate for your support and good messages once again.
