- Please introduce little bit of your company, Neowiz Games.

?2. What do you think the cause of success of FIFA Online 2, A.V.A and Cross Fire in global market?
FIFA Online 2, currently, is on service in 7 countries in Asia, and is expecting positive prospect with its rapid growth. With World Cup, it is jumping on the stage of global range service based on the worldwide sports issue, and we attempt to be ready for expected general affairs.
Besides, Neowiz Games, with the title of hip company for FPS games, has never given up on the passion for FPS games. I think know-how accumulated over the years and coordination with users have substantially effected on success of A.V.A and Cross Fire.
?3. What relation do you think should be made between publishers and IeSF or its member associations?
Online games, unlikely with package games, require close cooperation with publishers. With e-Sports events, publishers take continuous promotion of product and expansion of market, and IeSF can have necessary support from publishers. I assume that we can make better league if we make decisions with discussion from the beginning. Just one thing which leaves much to be desired is that there is not much time for exchange and discussion with associations and IeSF since there is only one global event annually. Each of IeSF members knows best about condition of their countries. If we could catch this demand and condition better, I believe it surely will be one good opportunity to expand the synergy of global league.
?4. If there is anything that you would like to advice on IeSF 2011 World Championship?
I would like the league to grow continuously unlikely with simply one-time event. Also, if there is something publishers like us can work as a joint force, I would love to do so to establish sound and stable league.
