GosI[MvP]: I will make everyone proud by becoming pro gamer!

Choi Ji Min is better known as GosI[MvP], although perhaps not by much in the non-korean community. He's a good Terran player who hopes to become a progamer. GosuGamers interviewed him and also have a few replays.



For those who haven't heard about the clan GosI it's a relatively well known west clan. MvP is 17 years old (18 Korean) and plays StarCraft five hours a day every day despite being in his junior year in school. He doesn't want to drop out of school, but his goal is to become a progamer.

How is your life outside Starcraft?
I don't have a job. I'm currently a student and I go to school from 8 am to 5 pm. After that I do the typical Korean thing and play StarCraft. I have to live with my parents if I don't I wouldn't be able to play sc, I'd have no computer

How did you come up with your name, any special reason behind it?
I came up with my name because I know MvP = Most valuable player, And that's what I want to be for my team. Its just a very nice name and I'm very motivated to becoming MvP.

How many years have you been playing starcraft?
I've been playing for 5-6 years now. I started when I was 12 1/2 years old. It was an alright age to start at because if you look now there is so many kids quitting school just to play starcraft. I.e. Flash.. he is very young and he's a pro gamer. My hope of becoming pro gamer drives me to keep playing this game. If you have the motivation you can do anything in your life. Not just for StarCraft I'm saying for everything.

Which do you consider to be your best and worst matchup?
I like TvZ because my control is very good and it keeps me entertained. I like to micro marines vs lurkers especially. I hate TvT it requires a lot of macro and early game micro and its very complex there are so many strategies one can do and its sometimes hard to cope with it.

Who is your favorite pro gamer?
I like Firebathero, His games are always fun to watch and its very funny to see his ceremonies after he wins. Although after he loses he does cry T.T he should just be happy win or lose that he has the chance to be a pro gamer. Also my favorite pro team is Samsung Khan. They're the best team in Korea and they have a very big organization sponsoring them. They get a lot of money.

Is your playing style unique or did you try to emulate Firebathero
My style is based on Firebathero just a little but I usually just try my own style because it makes the game much more interesting. When you play with your own style you can do so many things and its always fun to see if your own style will take on good players.

Do you have any specific training partners or teachers?
My teacher is GosI[Desire] he is a pro gamer he teaches me a little because he is very busy training himself. I just play on iccup to train usually. I'm currently B+ on iccup, but I'll reach A+ when I've played enough games.

Are you currently trying to join any pro teams?
I try my hardest and try to get my name out there so I can join a pro team. I went to courage and made it to the 6th round and lost vs Praise[Kal]. I played Dream.T)moto he was a hard challenge for me even though I won 2:1 I lost the first game and thought I was going to lose 0-2 but I made a nice comeback and won it. I lost vs Praise[Kal] 0:2 I tried my best but wasn't enough I'm afraid.

How do you view the whole Non-Korean scene? Do you know about any tournaments or leagues outside Korea?
No no I don't know anything about the Non-Korean scene I've just heard they're trying to get into Korea pro teams and I wish them good luck for that. I can assure you that it is very difficult and I think if you're not truely dedicated you will fail. All I can say is practice makes perfect.

Any last words?
Thank you EffOrt for the interview and I will make everyone proud by becoming pro gamer!
