　　这里是一个趣味横生的对Grrr进行的采访，而且这次我们保证是真的。Guillaume Patry(Grrr的原名)将对职业电子竞技，职业电子竞技中能得到的利润，在汉城的生活，当然，以及星际本身。

 　　“一个电子竞技选手的职业生涯并不是永久的，”他在一个采访中谈到，“年龄最高的职业选手仅为23岁。而之后不知为什么你就会裹足不前，你不在优秀了。你太慢了。在你不到17岁之前你也不可能出色，因为你的战术头脑并未完全发育成熟。因此来说电子竞技生涯通常都会很短，而选手也对自己的工作十分的专注。

　　Patry将星际争霸看作一种棋类游戏，而其中很重要的挑战就是预料对手的下一步棋。

　　然而，就像曾经的一位著名的冰球选手，Patry的巅峰期在电子竞技的利润高峰来临之前结束了。他笑着说：“我巴不得现在才是我的巅峰期。”然而他在韩国仍然属于知名人物。如果将他放在一个适当的环境中，例如大学或游乐园中，他会被很多人认出来，他说。

　　星际争霸的人气之所以在韩国如此旺盛的主要原因在于缺乏与之竞争的游戏环境。大受欢迎的第一视角射击类游戏，比如像雷神之锤，都曾经由于过于血腥暴力的原因而被禁止发行。

　　在下面，我将把最精彩的一句话留给你们，若你想读完整的采访的话，你可以在The Canadian Press中找到，原文作者为Neil Davidson。

　　 “你需要努力地练习，并憎恶每一次失败，并永远去寻找最优秀的对手。”

Real Grrr Interview
Ragnar "Entropy" Birko @ 17th of September 2004 08:01 
An interesting interview with  Grrr, and yes this time it's a real interview. Guillaume Patry talks about pro-gaming, pro-gaming money, life in Seoul and the of course Starcraft. Here are some quotes.

"A gamer's career doesn't last forever," he said in an interview. "The oldest (professional) gamers are 23. And after that you just stop being good, for some reason. You're too slow. "It doesn't start when you're younger than 17 either, because you're strategic mind is not good enough. So it's really short, and people are very dedicated to their jobs."
Patry sees StarCraft like a game of chess, a challenge that demands you anticipate your opponent's moves.
Like an old-time hockey player, however, Patry was in his prime before really big money came to pro gaming. "I wish I was good now," he says with a laugh. But he is still well known in South Korea. Put him in the right locale - a university or amusement park - and he says "I'll be recognized a lot."
One of the reasons that StarCraft became so popular in South Korea was a lack of rival titles. Popular first-person shooter games like Quake were banned for a time there because they were considered too violent.
I will leave you with the best quote and you can go read the rest, written by Neil Davidson at ? The Canadian Press.
"You need to practise hard and hate losing. And always be looking for the best players to play with you."
