Why do people train so much with people in other teams? Isn't practicing together the main point if being in a team in the first place? Also, are their teams OK with them helping out their potential competitiors? Well, when practicing very specialized builds for a BoX, a lot of players will probably practice in house so the strategy doesn't leak. However, for general practice and learning how to defend against different builds, it is probably good to practice with others. Playing the same players might make you less 'flexible' when dealing with other styles. As for helping potential competitors, it works both ways so I think players are ok with it. Mvp practices with MKP, MMA, etc and they played a lot against each other. Of course, the most highly regarded players probably has access to more players since everyone else wants to practice with them to improve their skill level. I remember Mvp's interviews where pretty much all the top players were practicing with him. Of course, they expect the favor to be returned down the road. So just by see the number and quality of practice partner for HyuN, it shows that he is really highly regarded by the Korean pros. Also, I think this is normal practice in Korea and players don't go 'Well, if you are my friend, you shouldn't practice with an opponent I am facing.'. That is why the practice ban on Slayers was such a big deal and frown upon. | ||

I think that it's possible for me to take the IPL championship, too, as long as I don't become anxious and mess up my games. As I play more and more Best of X matches, I'm growing more confident that I won't lose to anyone. HyuN going to have a real fight with Leenock. Screw the bo9 StarCraft match. Boxing fight club at IPL5 gogo! | ||

We don't know how much they help them, no matter how big the company. Could be great though, and anyway, every sponsor is good. So grats TSL!

Now that Axiom has signed Miya, your team has players of all three races. Has Miya's inclusion into the team been helpful to you? After Miya-hyung joined, I began to develop the confidence in my TvZ that I didn't have before. Miya has always been on the talkative side. While I was preparing for the Round of 16, he told me a lot of things that were of no help to me at all, but 10% of what he said to me was very useful. Some people are calling Miya-hyung a Zerg deity, so I think it'll help me greatly if I practice with him at my back. Lol, I can just imagine Miya blabbering. And so it was Crank who went with Ryung today, awesome. I was wondering a bit when I saw him celebrate the victory who the mysterious hugger was. Good guy Crank. | ||

You must have a desire to win the IPL as well as the GSL. Since I'm being asked about my boxing glove and clothing sizes, I think there's also going to be an event related to Fight Club, so I'm looking forward to going to Vegas even more.
