Nate Star Interview (selected fan questions are asked) 2/12/10:

What do you think about the nickname “The Ultimate Weapon”?
- It’s really a good one. I like it because it feels like The Ultimate Boss where nothing more can come out.

Favorite unit? And the unit that you think is the most powerful compared to its resource intake?
- My favorite is Goliath. And for the second question, Zergling.

Some say your Marine should cost 75 Minerals because it’s so powerful against Mutals. What’s the secret?
- It’s my control backed up by confidence. Nothing else is different. Those two make everything different.

Your biggest strength?
- Game sense and intuition. Everything else is similar to other progamers, but I can confidently say that I’m the best in sense and intuition.

In the past you got yourself down by Zerg at individual leagues. How’s your present game style against Zerg different from the past?
- I stopped thinking too hard. This season I tried to get my mind back to the beginning. Against Zerg, just playing it out calmly step by step has given me a boost in control and confidence and made everything different.

Have you ever thought about retirement when things get tough?
- Honestly, I’ve never had a slump. kk.

Most memorable win? Loss?
- Against FireBatHero at Medusa. For the loss, against Boxer at Python.

What’s your focus when you analyze games?
- Not really analysis, but I always have the mind of doing my best. No matter who I face, I practice a lot. I don’t particularly analyze games.

You’re at the age when you wanna do many things. How do you control yourself?
- Not really control; seriously all I wanna do is to play game. I chose this path, and I like it and just wanna play. After I achieve everything, break every record, and decide that I can’t go any higher as a progamer, I’ll retire without regret.

The progamer that you respect the most? Or role model?
- Reach always taught me a lot of things. I thank him.

In your team are there “secret builds” that only few knows?
- We always share builds. No secret builds.

Some good newcomers lately. Anybody notable to you?
- Really. I watch his games a lot and am learning. kk. He seems to be really good.

Most difficult progamers to play against?
- Bisu and Stork. There’s Protoss advantage against Terran and they’re both really good.

What’s Nicole to you?
- The only person I smile at when I watch TV ^^

[translator's note: in the past Flash revealed that he likes the Korean girlband Kara's Nicole. A pic here. Please post more.

You can be the youngest person to win the Golden Mouse if you win the coming OSL. How much do you want it?
- I really want it a lot. I’ve dreamed about the Golden Mouse and definitely want it.

Are you gonna go for winning both individual leagues at the coming season?
- I don’t wanna aim too high. But since I did gold and silver I should probably win at least one.

Jaedong is the next at Star Interview. Anything to him?
- It’s good to see him always being modest and practicing a lot. kk. I wish that he keeps it that way and plays good games.
