I don't post often, but I had to speak up for this epic 2-part post. I lingered on and consumed every last word.

Milkis, thanks so much for your translations and contribution to the community! <3

Again, great read! Any of the Korean players get drunk in the afterparty?

The thought of a drunk MC or July made me chuckle.

Amazing write-up Milkis. ^^ I'm glad you're a part of this community.

This was a great read. Behind the scenes and insight from the Korean participants. I hope you can make it to Anaheim!

<3 your work man; wish that you'd have at least one more colleague among the translator team to help you out at Anaheim; looks like with the Koreans being here more often that you'd need people to be with them more; for things like these the ideal would be to have one translator for every 2 players; so you have someone on stage, someone else handling interviews etc etc.

thanks for part 2 so quickly, you've really covered it all. next time MLG needs to assign a personal assistant to you and a photographer. and pay you!

thank goodness for the sesame chicken, no way to perform if you arent eating food you like.

LOL idra's GF is a skill digger, she goes out wiith a starcraft fan, then moves to idra, then showing some intrest in MMA (well probbably not really but still hilarious)

I could totally see her being a sloppy drunk she looks like the type, sounds like she embarrassed herself

Good that MC kept his composure while being trash talked.

Drunk MC once answered questions on HuK's stream.

It was the greatest thing of all time.

thank you, for everything. your little article/blog like thing was a great read. i was disappointed when i was unable to attend MLG but this really made me feel like i was there. getting to hear a very well told story about your experience being with these players constantly really made my evening. it sounds like a hectic event and i'm sorry you had so much trouble with the interviewers, that sounds like a huge pain.

your translation really made this international event able to bring the Korean players there, which is a large part of why this MLG was a huge success. that alone is enough for you to have my respect and thanks.

the Eng to Eng mistake made me chuckle a bit but i knew instantly that it was from exhaustion and translating for a long time. the language section of the brain doesn't distinguish the languages that clearly and being tired only makes mistakes that are easy to make easier to make. i only speak English fluently and know basic portions of other languages and i make mistakes in what language is used often. so it's far from something to beat yourself up about. it's a mistake but everyone makes mistakes.

Tl;DR thank you for being awesome.

It's awesome how you talked about what food you gave them and what not. If their next US event is NASL/Anaheim, let's just say there's WAYYYY more food in socal to be impressed by. I didn't find much to eat when i was last in cincinatti but that was cincinatti....

After a given point Idra's girlfriend is drunk and ends up at the patio and she starts trash talking MC and MC was quite the gentleman One of the Korean players remarked that "I thought she was pretty but I was quite mistaken" lol. 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" Eventually Idra's gf went and we were like "Welcome to America"

THIS IS GOLDEN!!!!!!!

Thanks for the translation work and for taking the time to write up this. It's very interesting to get these kinds of behind the scene glimpses. I love how half of it's about food. Is this a Korean thing or was it just difficult to find time to eat while at the event? lol
