I decided to make a blog here to practice translating since I really suck at it, and to put down things that I occasionally find interesting on the Chinese forums. Sometimes its interesting to see from the Chinese netizens' point of view, since they are very passionate on the Korean starcraft scene and they are fairly humorous at times.

So I'll start with this post by kyris of PlaySC that I saw yesterday I think was a pretty good post. It's fairly picture heavy but that's quite normal on Chinese forums.

Remembrance for those who are gone

Do you still remember them?

Once upon a time
for 'Starcraft'
this classic title
you have added so much radiance
perhaps you became weary
perhaps you have fallen
but those years of burning passion
will never be erased

Do you still remember him? When Cult Leader's (Flash) TvT was invicible, who was the one that proclaimed he will be stopped in the loudest voice?

[image loading]

You are Cult Leader's most respected terran player, you are the one who nurtured Cult Leader into the cheesy kid.
But...playing against him many years later, you are still the cheesy grandpa, and Cult Leader...no longer only knows how to cheese.

Guemchi, didn't we promised eachother, that we'll practice together, compete together, win together, fail together, be together rain or shine?

[image loading]

But you left, while I was elsewhere, paying respect to the glory of someone else.

[image loading]

Any now...you have returned, but I am gone...such is fate...

[image loading]

When you are still a nobody in the team, do not worry, hyung will look after you.

[image loading]

Watching you win a championship, hyung can now leave in peace, but when you suffer a losing streak, will you still remember hyung's teachings?

[image loading]

Sweetie, do you still remember the promise of the Ro16 Bonjwa? As long as you are standing behind me for another day, I will keep fighting till the end.

[image loading]

But time and place have changed, now the one standing next to you, is no longer the same smiling face.

[image loading]

There are times when people fall, ever since "that time", we've gotten our retribution, being locked into "Shawshank".

[image loading]

Cowardice imprisons one's soul, but hope can set you free. The strong will save himself, the saint will help others. Brother, It's so good to see you outside.

[image loading]

I finally understood why they say: your strength and your look are proportionate, in the past, Goldfish (Hiya) tried to be like me...

[image loading]

But now...I can only try to be like him...

[image loading]

When I lost my soul, teammates opened their arms and said to me: Don't worry, we still believe in you.

[image loading]

That's right, life will get anybody down at some point, you still have us, isn't that right?

[image loading]

I have made it pass my difficulties, but when I open my arms to reach back out to you, you are no longer there...

[image loading]

That year when Kwanro entered the final, me and your fellow apprentice was sitting in the stands, planning the great blue print for the future of CJ zergs.

[image loading]

But now...everything is gone like those bubbles...the 3 of us would never return to the stage that we once loved so very much.

[image loading]

My dream is to make even more of my players into world champions.

[image loading]

For me, Jaedong is like my son.

[image loading]

The scene is a dangerous place, will you be able to carry on my kitchen knife (T/N: probably meant 'carry on my sword' but they used kitchen knife for humor), little Sea?...
Also, Jaehoon is rebellious... (T/N: referring to his frequent hair dying)

[image loading]

I have decided to leave, but my only regret is...I won't be able to slap another BM CC on Bisu again. Horang: "Don't worry, there's still me."

[image loading]

The King's generation are all gone, it is time for me to go also. Luffy (T/N: probably refer to Flash), KT is in your hands.
[image loading]

Don't know why, but suddenly really missed you all. Your unique styles are all still unforgettable in people's minds. Recently when watching the games we kept thinking: If XXX play on this map, it would have been spectacular. You are all still young, and Starcraft still lingers on. In this lifetime, would we ever get to see you all perform again?

(Many Edits Later) Hmm...still looks abit iffy, oh well, I didn't call this blog fail in translation for nothing lolz.

Awesome!
at the same time, sad to remember that most of the missed players are the most baller ones and gone by the worst reasons

these are all my guesses

upmagic's picture: Not sure

Guemchi retires and comes back to woongjin only to find kwanro missing

hogil's retirement?

hwasin + match fixing

6. not sure

Forgg and his slump and what not

luxury and the match fixing

savior, effort, and kwanro are all gone

coach cho is gone too

coach cho of oz is gone as well

coach ha is gone

go.go retires (matchfixing portrayed in a humorous way) saying that he'll never be able to manner CC bisu again (in reference to his deep six vs him)

and lastly, firefist retires
