TeamLiquid Interviews Violet - Page 8

(Errol1001 - this isn't to bitch at you, it's to provide my own insight into those who are whining about generic answers.)

I can't believe (some) people are calling these answers 'generic.' What a lot of you don't seem to fathom is that dishing the dirt on other gamers or providing information that isn't meant to be thrown around in interviews could land Jungho back on the B-team or worse. It's just not done and it's unreasonable to demand answers that might negatively impact upon the gamer's image.

Outside of selection evenings for MSL and OSL SC is pretty mannered (with the exception of certain rivalries.) It's not like FPS or other genres where tempers fray and people really express their anger/sadness to a more exaggerated degree (although I know a fair few SC players have cried recently and in the past of course.)

Also the gamers live scheduled and often hectic lives (dinner time with eSTRO is hectic enough!) which mean that even getting these kinds of interviews is pretty difficult - especially if you are not on site. If it was *easy* then TL would constantly provide home-grown interviews, but they are a pain to organize and take time and dedication to translate.

It's not fair to complain about things being 'generic.' (this annoyed me in my ProGamer Connection thread as well.) When you have no idea of the constraints of Korean society or those placed upon the gamers themselves to promote a positive image.

Also consider that more complicated questions mean more stress for those translating them and more possibilities of the true intentions behind both question and answer being miscommunicated (although we do have an exceptional team of people working on them of course.) Konadora and crew provide such a rapid pace of translations and we should all be very grateful (as I know the majority of people who reply to these kinds of threads are.) for all the time and effort they spend (without any kind of wage.) doing this for everyone.

I got cucumbers and Girl's Generation from Canata and LosingID8 not only managed to arrange, but also translated and worked hard upon this interview which really *does* demonstrate Jungho's IRL personality (having met him a year ago and continued to follow his career/attend his matches I speak from experience.)

Even fomos' team of Mani/Mr.Kang/Ms. Lee are all working hard to change up their interview questions and provide much more varied content which can be seen in the more recent translations by Konadora, Mrhoon and Smix.

Why don't you stop complaining unless you are willing to go to such lengths to contribute things as awesome for TL yourselves.
