I'm sorry that we came off as annoying Milkis! Any additional burden we added was totally unintentional--I didn't realize how tied up you were when I asked for your help, but considering how stressed you must have been I really wish we had arranged for our own translator so we didn't have to bother you. I still don't know why people think WP hates or sees itself as a rival TL, I read TL all the time and the imaginary drama is so ridiculous--anything we might have said was to break the ice (we considered introducing ourselves as TLclone.net). We even invited you guys to drink with us! Anyway, awesome write-up! It wasn't just specifically wellplayed but it was mostly the fact that everyone asked for interviews and they all asked the exact same questions. I think getting all the people with press passes together for one interview slot during one of the days would be the best plan for that so we can get everyone together for one interview and it'll really save the load on everyone. You guys asked some pretty fun questions though, so no worries.
My first throught when i read this was: Do a press conference. Set the "press" up in a room, pick one to ask a question, answer it, go to the next "journalist". Should save you and the players ALOT of time and hassle. And since most everybody is asking the same questions anyway, here everybody gets the answers...
And your new icon...
priceless!

Thank you Milkis I was very impressed that you were the only translator I saw for the whole event. It's guys like you that make all this possible. If I end up going to Anaheim I may just have to get your autograph along with some players. 
EDIT: Just noticed the new icon! HA!

These were insanely awesome blog entries. Added so much depth and back story to the Korean players, I really appreciate it.
Hope you're at Anaheim too!
|
Too bad there wasn't video of IdrA's gf berating him and MC.
Fantastic write-up Milkis!

Yup. Graduating 4th year.

By Rock vs July (eye of sauron) you mean the game on ride of valkyries right?

I absolutely love the comments about all the players, thats super interesting, I feel bad for MC, being verbally abused by Idra's girlfriend, I would be scared as hell. I hope you get a second translator for Anaheim dude, it sounds like you were run ragged.
Also your point about needing to figure out a way to organize and schedule interviews is a really big thing. Now that there are so many fans that want to hear interviews constantly, and so many websites and organizations that want to provide that content, there really needs to be an organized way to do all the interviews, my guess would be like a single press conference for every major player or maybe every team. I don't know but something needs to be done to protect the players and make sure they aren't constantly being asked to do an interview throughout events like this.

grats! I'm going into my 4th year as an econ major. is there much of a sc2 scene on campus? I've only seen one korean playing it, the rest of the asians in my house play dota and there's no foreign players I've met

did MC or the koreans indicate what they thought of players? I know they said thorz has a lot of potential and stuff, but did they mention or seem to think highly of any others?
edit: sorry for asking after an entire weekend of questions, just wondering, since you said MC was actually respectful

AMAZING write up. Thanks for all your hardwork.

I asked MC and he said that he thinks Idra is good at macro/managing but he just needs to work on his mental psyche. He also had a lot of respect for Thorzain and such.
Those two really stuck and I don't remember who else they said to say with certainty at this point D:

I have a solution! Next time you can go camouflaged in a WellPlayed t-shirt. PM me your address and I'll ship one out to you.
(Caveat: I only have L and XL)

Nice write up - and no one is blaming you for your slip ups ;p You did a great job of helping the Koreans and the event was great! Sounds like you were overworked a lot.
|
Great job with the translating. My favorite interview you translated was after one of July's matches when he said that he appreciated the fans and how they cheered for him.
|
Oh damn, Idra's girlfriend is into MMA... LOL :D
|
she kept pointing at MMA and calling him gosu and pointed to MC and Idra "they shit, you gosu" over and over again. MMA jokingly responded "I broke the orbital command as a handicap for Idra"
I can totally imagine this lol.
MORE GF DRAMA? jk jk
btw Milkis, you were a great translator! One of the best I've seen. Keep up the good work!
|
thanks so much for this, not to mention all the work you put in at MLG.
U-DA BEST!
