As much as I like the videos, I do ask that there is a reach out to everyone. I think a lot of people would dislike this in the long run if it is all Team EG for the first month and a half or so.

JUNG! MYUNG! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Why do you insist on being on your own instead of joining a big team like EG or Liquid? Is there anything that happened between you and your past teams that has made you unable to trust big organizations?

I love these shows, they're the best work that JP has done in my opinion.

And there was me thinking you were just gonna invite all the same old amercian personalities that we already know loads about on for first 5-8 episodes. :D

Good choice, Grubby has a great story.

Here are some of the questions I had. Completely forgot that you had a topic here ): I didn't want to post on Reddit:

Love the show, I don't often post on Reddit, but I wanted to ask these questions (huge fan of Grubby since WC3):

When you first started out, you weren't playing as successfully as you are now. Games versus you and Artosis in the first NASL seasons were entertaining for the general public for all the wrong reasons and I'm glad to see you becoming as great as you were back in WarCraft III: did you change the way you practiced or alter anything you had done previously that didn't seem to work? and if so; what did you change? How has it helped you improve?
You've gone independent for a fair bit, I was personally scared considering your achievements' list was quite short and you didn't exactly have sponsors publicly lining up to sign you on. When you made it clear you were going to go solo, what made you take such a great risk and huge decision? What did Cassandra have to say about it? Did EG limit you (for positive purposes obviously) in ways that you never grew accustom to? What can you do now that you couldn't do before?
Now that you are solo, what additional tasks do you find yourself doing? Is there ever a point in time that you reconsidered your choice to join back on a team and if not: how come? Do you feel you're improving more on your own than if you had joined a team?
What makes you a better caster than a lot of the more full-time casters? What are the pros and cons of a half-player/half-analytical caster that you feel are worth mentioning? In addition, are there any tournaments in the near future we might see you participate/cast? Maybe HomeStory Cup V?
Why didn't you play Undead in WarCraft III like real men such as myself?
Will either you or Cassandra ever consider doing blogs again like you did with the old EG website? (long time ago guys). I heavily enjoyed both Cassandra's point of view about you as well as the times you guys had at events. Is the website almost done?
What are your goals right now? To be more specific? What do you feel you can attain within a reasonable time-frame in terms of either achievements, specific players you either want or can beat, etc.?
What is going on with the "mentoring Feast" announcement. You announced it awhile back and I haven't heard much of it since from either Millenium, Feast or yourself. I assume you are still supporting in one way or another (morally or via in-game strategy), but what else do you have planned. Do you intend to take it one-step further and if not; what are you currently doing to both bolster Feast's name and/or his game.

I'll add more if I can think of any. I had a bunch for Idra and I regret never getting to ask them.

Why not? You have the highest upvoted comment in the thread. Those are great questions. Just mindless TL elitism or do you have an actual reason?

1. How would he feel about a Warcraft 4 RTS?
2. What are his thoughts on training in Korea?
3. If not for pro gaming, what would he want to do with his life?

Yeah, I'm not too familiar with how Reddit works and I generally like to stick with what I know (I don't like having the relevancy of my questions or comments determined based on how popular they are or how unpopular I am -- it's a little too true for my insecure self).

Don't be so snide please, this isn't the place.

Just seems like an odd action for you to post both here and there that you didn't want/like posting on Reddit. To each their own, but I think that if you post quality content it gets rewarded there and hopefully it isn't that intimidating of a community.

I posted in both because like most fans, I want my question(s) asked [and for Grubby to answer because I really want to know more about him]. Double the exposure regardless of how obnoxious it can be.

In the reddit topic, I stated I don't post often on Reddit (which is true). In any case, that's beside the point.

I wouldn't :D

iNcontroL and IdrA barely talked about EG. It was much more personal, which made it really awesome.

But it's nice to see JP branching out to other players anyway ^^ These interviews are really great!
