Interview with Nal_Ra - Part 1 of 2

2 Parts interview with Nal_Ra after winning Blizzard World Wide Invitational 2005

First you should watch Nal_Ra winning the tournament, if you haven't yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8RGHx46P80

From this interview you can clearly get a good feeling of how smart and intelligent Kang Min (Nal_Ra) is, and it makes you love him even more! He's as much a great person as he is a great player :-)

Interviewer is Nick Plott, a very good USA Starcraft gamer known as Tasteless (Team: oGaming, race: Protoss), and he asks Nal_Ra some great questions not related to the tournament, like why is SC so popular in Korea in his oppinion, and if Nal_Ra plays other games on his free time.

Koreans are not better at it by nature... rather, they have the facilities to enable them to treat it in such a way that they can develop better in respect to their StarCraft skill.

Yeah, i can feel Nal_rA's intelligence behind his answers. In my opinion, all Pro gamers are smart people. It's not like people think that pro gamers are dumb people who have no future so they just play starcraft. They are VERY VERY smart people (probably way smarter than us) to be the best of the best at starcraft.

Maybe he's been not the best but he is the most humanistic.

@MzTekChill I think he was talking mostly towards Starcraft players and imo most of the top level starcraft players do seem like very intelligent people, Idra is the package deal. Ofcourse i'm sure most of the top level korean players are probably geniuses.

You can tell that Tasteless is a little starstruck in this interview haha, Nal_rA is his favorite player.

@f3nics I wouldn't say all pro gamers are SMART, I would say they are skilled and make money for their work. I'm not naming any names or saying that Starcraft players are "retarded" because you can't say anything for certain about a whole group. I will say that people who play Starcraft at a professional level are constantly thinking and their minds work in ways that non-starcraft gamers or non-gamers in general wouldn't normally function. That said, there are pros who make very stupid decisions

[drshields1988]

all english speaking commentators should speak korean. its only proper
