The original interview is here.
This is the second interview of the series. The first one can be found here.
I was really flattered by the comments in the first interview. Thanks a lot guys!
the interview:
MarineKingPrime.WE's questions for FruitDealer
Is it true that the food in the TSL house is the best?
dear MKP, the instant you eat some food we have here in the TSL house could be the moment you decide to change teams. Come join us for a meal sometime.
What is your relationship with Cocoshoo*?
Are you mad at me for some reason or what... I am not sure exactly either. Since she's now a GomTV employee I should buy her a Boyak**, I guess?
Who do you think is better, you or Nestea?
Such an awkward question... Maybe we both think the other is better, lol...
We are very similar in a lot of ways, style and skill, since we played together since the BW days... Usually they say I play vT a bit better then he does and he plays vP and vZ better than I do.
Well, lately I have little to say in this matter. You lost to Nestea, and I lost to you... I'm dead last I guess.
#1 "FruitDealer" Kim Won Ki, this is what we'd like to know!
What's the meaning behind your nickname, "FruitDealer"?
It's what you read plain and simple: the one who sells fruits... I came up with it when I was still selling fruit lol...
Has your family's fruit store become popular since you won GSL last year?
Me winning the GSL did not affect the sales at all lol... Next time if you see a sign written "FruitDealer's fruit store" please come in and get a box of apples.
I heard you are an alcohol lover. How much can you drink?
The people I hang with and I all have similiar tolerance. Two bottles of soju usually does it, and when I drink a lot it's 3 or 4. In that case however, I pass out for the next day or so.
What do you think of Cocoshoo*?
I think what do you think of men is an easier question. (yeah, I don't know exactly what he means by that either... He thinks she's not attractive, I guess?)
Is your recent slump due to the Dark Age of Zerg?
It's not an excuse, but in Season 2 I lost to a finalist in MKP, in Season 3 I lost to a semifinalist in HongUn and in Season 4 I lost to a finalist in IMMVP. I don't really think I'm in a slump T.T ... but of course, in S5 I would really like to do exceptionally well.
I don't think there's such thing as "Dark Age of Zerg", if anything, they are labelled as such because of my poor results.
What kind of effort does it take to become a progamer?
To become a progamer... hm, firstly you must enjoy playing games. When a hobby becomes work it also becomes more difficult. I think the ability to maintain your passion for gaming even when you are doing it as work is the greatest skill you can have.
Secondly, I think you must have some sort of hand speed+dexterity. Then put your effort on training, studying, and talking about games with your friends.
You got a lot of female fans. What's the secret of your popularity?
I got a lot of female fans because... well I didn't even know that. Thanks for telling me, now I know... lol
As for the secret, that's a hard one... it can't be my looks so, maybe my ID? or because I'm Zerg? Well, I think my games are exciting to watch, so I guess I will go with that one.
Are you thinking about making a team yourself, like SlayersBoxer did?
I think Boxer's team and TSL are all the same anyway. ( o.O Don't ask me, I am as clueless about that statement as you guys are. Maybe they train together?) For that reason, I am much more interested in becoming a coach. It was my childhood dream to become a teacher.
What have you been doing lately? I didn't see you on ZOTAC Team Invitational either.
I have been practicing... -.- also playing some snookers, snowboarding, sometimes drinking a bit... Now that team leagues are going on and the GSL up/down brackets are out, I plan to put everything on hold and concentrate sorely on training. I'll do my best.
Marines according to FruitDealer:
Marines... soon to be nerfed units ^^.
You gotta win once more! (I know, not a question)
Once? I think people will start to go like "Oh, that FruitDealer guy won some tournaments" when I win three more times at least. Winning once is like getting 1st in ladder or something... Thank you, I will practice harder and try to win asap... lol
#2 FruitDealer talks Zerg!
What's your favorite zerg unit?
My favorite unit really is the larva. I get that proud feeling when I see them swarming under the hatchery...
In season 3 the Zerg race as a whole saw an increase in success only to hit a wall in season 4. What are your thoughts as to why?
I think interface is the biggest problem right now. While Zergs have more and more things to do as the game progresses, the simplified interface allows the other 2 races to have an easy time macroing, thus enabling complex and hard-to-deal-with micro moves in both harassment and big battles. Marines and Colossi OP lol
What's the biggest advantage you get from being a Zerg?
Getting enough drones so I can pool 30 or so larvae and pump 30 or so units at once with them when needed, and then winning... When I get to do that I think to myself: "Damn I played some fine Zerg right there".
What are your thoughts about maps?
There are 3 kinds of maps: ones Zerg can't win, ones Terran may lose if they make a mistake, and ones they both have a chance.
What does one have to do to become a Zerg gosu?
First empty your mind, get your firm grip on the mouse and practice hard, and don't get stressed out. Zerg gosuness is measured by enjoyment you get without getting stressed out, not skill. That's gosu. Chogosu.
What differentiates a zerg chobo from zerg gosu?
Getting/not getting stressed out. Also, pumping larvae from queens without getting their mana too high, conquering the map with creep fast, and managing resources well without getting too much of either kind. I think those three are what separates gosus from chobos.
Do you think Lurkers are necessary?
What could they do with big brother Colossus and Marauder around? Moreover, to get Lurkers I'd have to get Hydras first... Please just buff Ultras and Broodlords, David Kim ♡!!
What do Banelings mean to you?
The reason I play Zerg! So cute and reliable. Melting marines with them after some fungals, CUTE!!
#3 Nestea, a rival?
Nestea has some impressive skills. What do you think about him?
I don't know what to say, we are very close friends. Are you asking me what do I think about him as a man? lol I have no interest in men, sorry.
Nestea has managed to get to round of 4. Do you think he will win it all?
I consider his match against IMMVP the finals. In my mind, MVP is currently the best TvZ'er out there, so if Nestea somehow knocks MVP out, his confidence entering the finals will be off the charts. (some questions were submitted before the match between IMNestea and IMMVP)
Aren't you having some trouble with Phoenixes since patch 1.2.0 came out?
A lot of people have asked this, but for some strange reason I haven't faced phoenixes since the patch came out... -.-;; so I don't know really, but my advice is to use Infestors. Once you hit those pesky phoenixes with fungal growth, things will get easier.
What's your win % against IMNestea?
I don't know, I don't keep count on that, and hey, this is sensitive matter lol... Probably what I lose in ZvZ's I make up in other matchups.
You could lose the Zerg hero title to Nestea if he wins it all this season. Your thoughts?
If he wins against IMMVP I must acknowledge he is the Zerg hero. However, I'm not really that concerned since I can take the title back afterwards.
#4 Miscellanea
Aren't you unconfortable with the match history being public?
Not at all. I don't prepare for upcoming games designing specific builds, that's not my style, and also when I'm serious about practice I do so with other, unknown ids. It does have some inconveniences, I guess.
Have you thought about switching races?
I was thinking about going Random in S3 had I done well in S2, but I failed. I have not given up completely yet though... I may switch in the future if I manage to get some satisfying results.
Which units do you hate the most?
Mules, Marines, Tanks, Thors, Vikings, Banshees, Medivacs,
Stalkers, Sentries, Dark Templars, Void Rays, Warp Prisms, Phoenixes, Colossi.
Not that many I guess...
What's the most infuriating moment when playing SC2?
When I lose, of course. I considered myself pretty insensitive to losing but lately I feel my losses a lot. I'm trying to overcome that lol... Don't you rage when you lose too?
Who do you think will win it all this season?
Hm... I think if Nestea wins against MVP he will win it all. Now, if MVP wins and MKP wins on the other bracket, I think MKP will take it. Jinro Fighting -.- !!
Do you know any up and coming Zerg players we should watch out for?
Hm... SKS's zerg transformation?? lol...
Well. there's this Kim Dong Hyun (TSL.Posh) guy in our team that I am personally rooting for, but that dumbass just won't accept criticism in his play lol... If/when he starts changing, I think he should do very well. (don't flame me, that's exactly what he called him)
What kind of music do you like?
Epik High's Umbrella is my favorite song. But I also love Younha's album Part... T.T I must have heard it some 10000 times I guess.... But still haven't memorized the lyrics lol....
Tell us who you want to be the next interviewee
I want NaDa from oGs to be next.
Any specific reason?
I got a question for him, that's all... lol
Which is?
NaDa sorry for asking, but what was it like when you got infested terran'd in Arkanoid? LOL... sorry T.T
(I'm sorry but can someone fill me on this? I never really followed BW to be honest)
End of interview
Those of you who can write in Korean, you can submit questions for NaDa in the thisisgame.com site.
*Cocoshoo is the girl who draws daily recap comics in the official GSL site. Her recaps can be found here
**Boyak is some kind of medicine that does amazing things to you, or something like that. It tastes awful, my mom used to give me that. Here is what it looks like.
