Following their showmatch at BlizzCon

Yo-Hwan 'BoxeR' Lim and

Won Ki 'FruitDealer' Kim were interviewed and a translation has been posted on TeamLiquid.

BoxeR on the difference between SC:BW and SC2:

"BW's most interesting feature is the control: the control group keys were simply not sufficient for huge armies. In SC2, aside from this, everything else is pretty interesting. On top of that, the intellect required is much higher."

Whether SC2 was the reason BoxeR decided to continue his gaming career as opposed to remaining a coach:

"SC2's release did present an excellent opportunity, and it resolved my greatest issue. I feel like it's lucky. Right now, the feeling of excitement is the same as when I first started playing BW, so I'm playing towards the same level. I'm prepared to be a progamer until I'm at least 35. For the fans, I won't just play 1 or 2 years. The longer the better."

Fruitdealer on the possibility of facing BoxeR in the GSL finals:

"Yesterday I won, but if we meet in the GSL, I'll have a lot of pressure. Even though I don't want to face Boxer again, if we meet in the finals, it'll definitely be a great match. It would be the talk of the town in the eSports scene."

BoxeR is a two time OSL and two time WCG champion while Fruitdealer is the current GSL champion. Both players are currently alive in the Ro32 of GSL S2 and will play their matches on Wednesday the 27th at 11am CEST.
