HUGE AMOUNTS OF THANKS GO OUT TO PETER for helping me get this set up, and to JUNHONG for the painful process of translation!
There are many many ^^'s that I'm editing out -------
FakeSteve: hi!
July: hihi! ^^
FakeSteve: Let's start!
July: STart! ^^
FakeSteve: First off, Name and age?
July: Park Sung Jun, 19 years old.
FakeSteve: Why do you use "JulyZerg" as your gamer ID?
July: i got to make the id in july. i added my main race, zerg. thats why its called July Zerg.
FakeSteve: You are now in the OGN StarLeague finals vs Reach. When you started playing StarCraft did you ever think you would be in a situation like this? Did you always want to be the best, or just play for fun?
July: Yes. I wanted to be the best since the beginning and I'll continue to work harder.
July: I'll win.
FakeSteve: I'll be cheering for you vs Reach!
July: ^^
FakeSteve: Who is your favorite opponent?
July: iloveoov July: or July: ioi[alive]
FakeSteve: Why?
July: gosu July: ^^ July: i like gosu July: terran gamer July: or nada July: xellos July: boxer July: all like ^^
FakeSteve: WCG is coming up, who do you think the favorites to win are? Do you think any non-korean gamers have a chance to win?
July: korea July: no.1 July: starcraft July: -.- July: but elky July: giyom July: gosu ^^ July: and peter July: for koreans, the preliminary round is so hard that anyone getting picked has a chance to win.....i want to win
FakeSteve: After watching your games vs iloveoov in the OGN semifinal, many non-korean bw players were completely amazed by your skill. What do you think is the strongest part of your game, and what do you think you need to improve on?
July: i think my strong point is my control. my weak point is, i do all-in plays often, causing me to have a weak economy therefore its hard for me to play in the late parts of the game. In contrast, instead of control, i play game focusing on the later parts of the game.
FakeSteve: I love your aggressive style! ^^
FakeSteve: What is best, your zvz, zvt, zvp? What is worst?
July: my best is zvt July: and i have no worst game July: however July: in zvz with the different builds, my win percentage is kind of low. July: i'm strong zvp as well
FakeSteve: Very confident!
July: ^^
FakeSteve: Let's talk about iloveoov. The non-korean starcraft community sees iloveoov as the no.1 starcraft player. Do you think he is? What about him makes him so dominant? And how did you defeat him so easily in the OGN semifinal and ITV final?
July: i don't think there is a best player July: the reason i could beat iloveoov is i know his game style well July: and same for me, when my game style is analyzed and known by more people, i will be beaten more often. So im trying to vary my styles more and more.
FakeSteve: Now you're in the finals against Reach. Do you think you will win? What about Reach do you fear the most?
July: I can win. July: I have an MBC game tomorrow, and if i win there, 2 days before the OGN final, i have to play an MBC game. I'm worried that i can't practice alot. If i can practice, I can win.
FakeSteve: I'll be watching the finals, I hope you win!
July: ^^
FakeSteve: How are you preparing for the OGN final? Who are you practicing with?
July: i'm practicing with junitoss July: and when mbc game is done tomorrow i will practice with rage and foru
FakeSteve: It seems that you have exploded into the pro-game very suddenly, with your success in OGN and ITV. Was there a breaking point when you became as good as you are, or have you just gradually become very skilled?
July: I think my skill gradually increased. I'm getting more used to the gaming environment, so I think my skill increased gradually.
FakeSteve: July, I think you are the current best Zerg, and I'm not the only person who thinks so. Do you think you're the best Zerg?
July: i'm not.. July: but for my style.. i'm best July: i think ^^
FakeSteve: What do you think of American newcomers, Assem and Rekrul[pG]?
July: I know assem because we've been on the same team.. he has good control, which is unique from many other nonkorean players. so if he gets better in macro, hes gonna be a great player I think. I don't know about Rekrul because i didn't play him too much ^^;;;
FakeSteve: Tell us a story about something stupid Peter has done, so we at TeamLiquid.net can laugh at him!
July: haha ^^;;;;; July: Peter is fun July: and i don't think he did anything stupid July: anyways, he's nice and peter is fun! ^^;;
FakeSteve: haha
FakeSteve: Okay, simple question: Favorite map?
July: namja iyagi!
FakeSteve: Tell us what a normal day in the life of JulyZerg is like.
July: hmmm.. i like to watch movies, read comic books.. when i'm not doing that i practice ^^
FakeSteve: I have to ask this question because they're my favorite band: Do you like Iron Maiden? ^^
July: i don't know too well July: sorry ;; July: T.T
FakeSteve: awwww
July: ^^;
FakeSteve: Well July, thank you VERY much for taking the time to do this interview! Many non-korean players will read this. Anything you'd like to say to them?
July: Thanks for reading my interview. I'll be seeing you again as a better me.
July: FIGHTING!!
FakeSteve: GoodLuck in OGN! JulyZerg Fighting!!
July: ^_________^
---------------
Look for a follow-up interview after the OGN finals, August 1st!

You should have asked him what he thought about Neogamei, or wg tour, didn't he used to play WGT? :p
|
or how many games he practices a day and with who.. how his daily games break down, if he does anything besides playing to prepare, like weird practice shit, asking his partner to do something specific, or studying/scouting the person he's going to play against..

July Zergs my friggin Zerg Idol, Peters, my 8927348974892739487239487234 Protoss idol, hehe ^_^ (j/ks)
|
Really nice work. I like it a lot.
Funny, how one interview can change one's opinion about somebody else. I used to be irritated by the JulyZerg, but now I like him, even with his little frank arogance.
I wish you funny days with the lovely terran gang - boxer, oov, nada July fighting... Terran Fighting!
|
nice little interview... July seems to be a nice guy, but he doesn't look 19 yrs old on the VOD's.
|
Nice interview.
I thought when he said he has no worst matchup, he meant his zvt is best, but his zvz and zvp are equal so he has no specific worst matchup.
|
i always thought july was in pos :o

There will be questions about NeoGamei and WGT in the followup interview
|
I don't look at it as arrogance but just being positive and confident. Wonder why people look at it as either "oh he is very modest" or "oh he is very cocky". Some fans enjoy players being positive and being confident. Anyway, if some of you guys didn't know you can see why he likes Namja Iyagi. OGN ZvT record on that map is 11-5 Z-T and the 6 wins are just from July. Even the OGN people nicknamed it ParkSungJoon Iyagi.
|
Very nice interview! Thanks Legionnaire for setting it up and good questions Steve. And thanks to the translator dude.
JulyZerg seems like a cool dude.
|
"we want more, we want more" interview with nalra and xellos would be heaven
|
great work i really liked reading it
more gogo!~
