July/2006 Ongamenet iStation Dual Tournament - Group D
NaL_rA (P) vs NaDa (T) @ Sin Pioneer Period
Very short game, what I liked about this VOD is how they switched to First Person view exactly before the action started which was nice.
Here’s an interview with [Red]Nada before the tournament started, thanks to Essare for English translation:
Q: How does it feel to be in both major leagues again?
A: I don’t know what to say, it’s been so long since I’ve participated in an individual league. It feels good to be able show my games to my mother and my fans, who have been waiting a long time.
Q: Who do you think will be your biggest challenge (rival)?
A: Well.. let’s see, there are a lot of rookies this season - they’ve been doing well during my absence from the major leagues and I want to test their play myself. So.. I guess everyone.
Q: What do you do in your free time?
A: Well I used to go watch movies, go out drinking and travel a lot with my friends. Recently, though, I just like quiet places. I’d like to go find some nice mountains with fresh air.
Q: What do you think of your nick name “Sea Otter”?
A: I’m used to it now.. it’s even considered a natural treasure.
Q: Do you have any jinxes?
A: Things don’t go to well if I happen to wake up really early in the morning, or when I get something unexpected on my schedule on the day of my games. Last Dual Tournament I had an unexpected event (he doesn’t say what) scheduled which messed up my gaming rhythm.
Q: A lot of the oldschool gamers are having a slump. What do you think about that?
A: Well saying that the oldschool gamers are having a slump is correct, but I think saying that the new rookies are getting better would be a better assessment. There’s virtually no skill difference now, and everybody, old and new, has to practice hard if they want to win.
Q: Before televised matches you play zerg to warm up.. is there any particular reason why?
A: No, not really. I just like getting mutas and picking off workers. It’s fun.
Q: Oov has always picked you as his rival, what do you think about that, and what do you think are the differences in your play?
A: I’ve always had great respect for Oov’s play, I think I’m a little lacking to be called his rival. Oov has a better overall feel(vision) for the game - that’s something I would like to learn.
Q: Anytime you wanted to quit progaming?
A: When I was with KTF. My gaming record was good, but I was the youngest on the team and had difficulty adjusting. I even went home a couple times.
Q: You always seem to meet Nal_Ra at important stages.
A: Well we’re just playing because we both got through the qualifiers.. I don’t think he’s particularly worried that I’m in his group either. I just wish that we can both make through to the next round.
Q: Why did you pick Terran?
A: Heh.. terran are humans! They fight to protect the planet don’t they? I saw the movie Starship troopers and I though they were a lot like the Terran. Made me feel better heh.
Q: How is your weight increase program going? How much do you weigh now?
A: Actually I stopped for a bit since I’m training for the upcoming individual leagues. I managed to get my weight up to 63kg, but I lost another 2. I’ve grown 2 cms now, I’m 180cm tall ^^
Q: What do you think about posts like “I love you nada!” on message boards?
A: A little embarassing actually (he’s shy ^^)
Q: I went to get my hair done at a shop in [place] the owner said you go there too, is it true?
A: Yep, I always go there to get hair cuts.
Q: You have a car don’t you? Have you ever been caught speeding or parking illegally?
A: I got a ticket parking outside the Pantech house just today. I get caught speeding a lot.. I have confidence in my control (micro) so I used to speed up even when I see a camera. I decided not to let my pride get the bestof me and slow down from now on ^^
Q: What about the rumors about you changing teams?
A: I won’t switch teams ^^ I’ve said once a while ago that I would leave to find happiness, and I found it.. and found sadness as well (I guess he’s talking about his father’s death). I get this feeling sometimes that I want to leave to do something important, but this isn’t the time. I guess that’s something to think about once I’ve accomplished something here. I have big dreams and I hope all of you do too, somedays those dreams will come true. Also.. the golden mouse is mine! (Golden Mouse is a special reward fir the first progamer that will win his 3rd major league, so far Boxer, Oov, Nada and July all have 2, they are all fighting for the 3rd)
Q: Any shout out to the fans?
A: I’m back! I’d like to thank you all for your interest and I’ll repay you with a winning trophy ^^

Just like watching people play football, but with awesome strategy and tricks - especially when you can see one player doing something that the other doesn’t know, like building a barracks in the back of their base and then rushing in and destroying all their probes with firebats.
Because it’s highly entertaining
