Exactly 2 days ago the eSTRO manager and I went and picked NonY up at Incheon Airport. Then yesterday we brought him down to the eSTRO main office and gave him a nice interview that you can see up above. He answers many pressing questions concerning top foreigners, Idra, country rankings in Starcraft, and all the other fun drama stuff that i could think of.

Welcome to Korea NonY, hope you enjoy your stay!

The Protoss Nullifier has gone through what seems to have been the most changes to a StarCraft II unit. The poor guy use to be known as the Stasis Orb and was able to fly, then he was turned into hovering snowball of psionic power, then a cybernetic trylobyte it's current state.

As always, shoot the devs and I a w00t! if you are…  More
