Warcraft III: 1on1 with June "Lyn" Park

News

Written by Carmac in video 8 months ago (77 comments) | Tagged in: 1on1 interview Lyn Carmac

This week's video feature is another 1on1 interview, this time with the winner of the Extrme Masters II tournament, June "Lyn" Park.

SK Gaming's Korean Warcraft 3 player has been on an upward trajectory for a year. He was noticed by the gaming press as one of the brightest talents in Warcraft 3 and received the Revelation of 2007 award (shared with Olav "Creolophus" Undheim).

In 2008, Lyn improved even further and his performances have been nothing short of spectacular, the Extreme Masters II victory serving as a prime example of that. The interview takes place in Hannover during that tournament. Lyn talks about his personality, his team mates, his likes, dislikes and, of course, Warcraft 3.

The interview is in Korean with English subtitles. Translation by Min-Sik "reis" Ko.

omg , such a great interview, i thought lyn is such a shy guy, he always seemed to me but now i thing he's realy a cool and world oppened guy... :D

JoNinhoo 8 months ago

world oppened? lol, doesn't seem really world opponed to me with his answers about girls other countries and the fact that he can't speak english BUT, that put apart (everyone's his own opinion and that could be just a first impression) he seems really like a great person and I liked his other answers, he seems very kind, earth-to-earth and honest =)

I liked the way you've put up the whole interview, was the most catching one I've seen in esports so far imo! keep up the good work carmac (or whoever did it).

Nice interview. Really good atmosphere and its great to see June Park being able to take himself lightly and even laugh at himself. Pity his answers were a bit brief, as some of the things he said were quite interesting.

the kinda of interview I like to see, well done, also, korean with subtitles is better than koreans struggling with english and having limited to say, respect to them for trying to learn, but they can give MUCH more in depth comments like this.

Funny thing is that MYM posted this video into their site. The first title was "Lyn: Miou looks like a girl", the second (after whining): "9 minutes with SK.Lyn", and finally third, which they changed minutes ago: "Lyn: When I met Miou I was shocked". :D

Very good interview Carmac.
