The SK Gaming 1on1 series presents an extensive interview with US Kevin 'qxc' Riley of coL, split into three parts. qxc is best known for his runnerup finish at the IEM V American Championship, beating out CA HuK in the semi-final, and his GSTL all-kill of KR Incredible Miracle, including a win over multiple time GSL champion KR Mvp.

In part two qxc talks about his all-kill of IM, the significance of creativity in SC2 and his interests in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Parkour.

How did he get "lucky" vs. KR Mvp during his all-kill of IM in GSTL? To what extent does SC2 reward creativity vs. playing by-the-book? Is Parkour dangerous?
