[20Q20A] "Armed with confidence, CJ's (Z)EffOrt"

[image loading]


1. I want to learn about how you became a CJ progamer.
▲ Hello. ^^ I am (Z)EffOrt from CJ, armed with confidence. Keke. I played SC with friends for fun, and they told me that they show SC on TV. I saw boxer's match and I thought it looked cool so I decided to become a progamer~ The guild master hyung let me take the CJ's open test so I was able to get in~

2. What do you think you would be doing if you didn't become a progamer?
▲ Hmm... Well... I have a lot of interest in computers so... Rather than games, I think I would be working in the programming field.

3. Do you have a habit or jinx during a game?
▲ Hmm.. Habit would be keep touching the mouse chord.. And the jinx would be that I have good results when I play at Yongsan.

4. What do you think about your nickname "Hawk"
▲ It's easy to say... and it matches my image keke I hope I get a better nickname like Maestro and Berserker keke. Help me fans! Keke.

[image loading]


5. Your secret to keeping your body thin?
▲ ;; Kekekeke I really eat a lot but I don't gain weight. I get stressed because I don't gain weight haha

6. What changed since you moved from Suhrae town to Yongsan?
▲ The practice room atmosphere changed ~~ I think it's because in Yongsan, we have separate practice room and beds ^^;

7. How did you feel when you lost in the starleague without re-games?
▲ Hmm.. I couldn't get to the re-games because I lost to (T)Flash and I was disappointed. Haha, I learned from losing that match.

8. Your ZvT is very good. What's your secret?
▲ I don't have that good ZvT but I think my ZvT skills show better in televised games keke. If I had to name one, it's that our team's terrans are strong! Keke.

[image loading]


9. (P)Horang2 (the last 20Q20A player)'s question- "(Z)EffOrt hyung. I want to know what how you keep your cool when you have a winning streak or a secret to having a good streak. I could never go past 4 wins in a row."

▲ Hmm... when I was on a streak, I didn't even know how many wins in a row I had. I think just playing without thinking about streaks gets you better results. Keke I just think during a game that I wouldn't lose, and have confidence. Haha.

10. Do you have good results in team ranking matches?
▲ Keke it's weird if I say it but I think I do above average. Since there are so many other teammates who are good, I only get 1st place a li~~~~~~~~~~~ttle..^^;;

11. Which teammate treats you the best? The worst?
▲ Hmm.. Everyone treats me well, but to pick one person.. Probably (T)sKyHigh since we started to live in the CJ house at about the same time~~ I don't have the worst.. but during practice time (T)Iris hyung keeps talking to me keke I hope (T)Iris hyung fixes this habit keke.

12. Were there any funny episode while you lived in the CJ house?
▲ Hmm.. there aren't that many.. 2 years ago when I came in, I had a semi-pro license, but when (P)Much hyung played me he asked me if I was really semi-pro. Keke. It shocked me keke.

[image loading]


13. What was the most recent movie you watched, and with whom did you watch?
▲ I saw "National Representative (A Korean movie)" with my girlfriend, and after watching this I really wanted to go to WCG grand finals as a Korean representative. Haha.

14. What do you like in a girl/woman/female/opposite sex?
▲ Hmm.. Nothing but.. I think first appearances are important.

15. A word on being called "Post-(Z)sAviOr"
▲ I haven't won a league and I didn't do anything amazing, but I'm thankful that people see me in such a good way ^^.

16. Any progamer or role-model that influenced you?
▲ Since (Z)sAviOr hyung is on my team, I think he influenced me alot~ He helped me a lot too. I don't have a role-model.

17. If you pick 3 players that you're friendly with from other teams
▲ I have a lot but if I had to pick keke hite's insect((T)go.go) hyung, Retro-pig ((Z)Clay) hyung , and dinosaur((P)Stork) hyung. kekeke.

18. Your favorite unit to micro?
▲ The unit that can freely fly and harass: Mutalisk!!!

19. What do you think about (Z)ZerO's queen usage and do you have any desire to use it yourself?
▲ I thought about it and practiced with queens, but it was hard to use. I think (Z)ZerO hyung is amazing. If I have a chance, I will try to use it ^^

20. What kind of progamer do you want to become in the future?
▲ I want to try my best and become the player that comes in mind when you think of "e-sports"~~!

Pick a player for the next 20Q20A and a question for the player (Can't be from your own team)
▲ (T)firebathero hyung~~ Tell me your secret to playing well and doomg cool ceremonies at the same time keke

+ Show Spoiler [Original Article] +

1. 프로게이머가 된 계기와 CJ에 들어간 과정이 궁금해요.
▲ 안녕하세요. ^^자신감으로 똘똘 뭉친 CJ엔투스 김정우입니다. ㅋㅋ 스타크래프트를 친구들끼리 재미로 하다가 친구들이 TV에서 방송까지 한다고해서 방송 경기를 봤는데 그때 임요환 선수를 보고 멋있다 생각해서 하기로 결심했었어요~ CJ는 길드 마스터형께서 오프테스트를 보게 해주셔서 그 덕에 들어올 수 있었어요 ~

2. 프로게이머가 되지 않았다면 무엇을 하고 있을까?
▲ 음..글쎄요...컴퓨터 쪽에도 관심이 많아서 아마도.. 게임을 하기보다는 프로그래머쪽으로 나가서 일하고 있을 거 같아요 ㅋㅋ

3 .경기할 때 자신만의 습관이나 징크스가 있나요?
▲ 음..습관이라 하면 마우스선을 계속 만지는 거.. 또 용산경기장에서 할 때 승률이 더 좋다는 징크스가...

4. '매정우'라는 별명에 대해 어떻게 생각하나요?
▲ 부르기도 편하고 ..이미지랑 맞아서 좋은 거 같아요 ㅋㅋ 마에스트로나 광전사 같은 더 멋진 별명이 생겼으면 좋겠어요 ㅋㅋ 팬여러분들 도와주세요 ㅋㅋ

5. 날씬한 몸을 유지하는 비결은?
▲ ;;ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 진짜로 밥도 잘 먹고 많이 먹는데 살이 안 붙어요. 저는 살이 안쪄서 스트레스 받아요 ㅎㅎ

6. 서래마을에서 용산으로 이사간 뒤 가장 달라진 점은?
▲ 연습실 분위기가 많이 달라진 거 같아요 ~~ 용산에는 연습실하고 숙소가 나뉘어져 있어서 더 그런 거 같아요^^;

7. 재경기 끝에 스타리그에서 탈락했을 때 느낌이 어땠나요?
▲ 움.. 재경기는 이영호 선수와의 대결에서 패해서 못 가서 떨어졌는데 많이 아쉬웠어요 ㅎㅎ 그 경기에 패하고 나름대로 깨달은 것도 있어요.

8. 테란전을 잘하는데 특별한 비결이 있다면?
▲ 테란전을 그렇게 잘하는 게 아닌데 유독 방송경기에서 경기력이 잘 나온 거 같아요 ㅋㅋ
비결을 말하자면 저희 팀 테란 선수들이 강하다는 것!ㅋㅋ

9. 이경민의 질문-매정우형(CJ 엔투스 김정우) / 연승 할때 마음가짐이나 연승하는 비결이 궁금하네요. 전 죽어도 4연승 이상을 못하겠더라구요.

▲ 음...연승 할 때는 저도 몇연승을 하고 있는지 조차 모르고 했었어요. 연승에 연연하지 않고 플레이하는게 성적이 더 잘 나오는 거 같아요. ㅋㅋ 경기할 때는 안 진다는 생각으로 자신감을 가지고 임하고 있어요. ㅎㅎ

10. 팀내 랭킹전에서도 성적이 좋은가요?
▲ ㅋㅋ 제가 말하기 좀 그렇지만 중간 이상은 나오는 거 같아요. 워낙 잘하는 팀원들도 많아서 1등은 가~~~~~끔..^^;;

11. 팀원들 중에 가장 잘해주는 사람과 가장 괴롭히는 사람?
▲ 음.. 다들 잘해주지만 가장 잘해주는 사람을 꼽자면..아무래도 같은 시기에 숙소 생활하게 된 병세~~ 가장 괴롭히는 사람은 없지만.. 연습시간에 옆에서 형태형이 너무 대화를 많이 해서 시끄러운 게 괴로워요 ㅋㅋ 형태형이 좀 고쳐줬으면ㅋㅋ

12. 숙소 생활 하면서 재미 있는 에피소드가 있다면?
▲ 음. 재밌는 에피소드가 별로 없어서.. 제가 2년 전에 숙소에 들어왔을 때 준프로 자격을 취득한 상태였는데 영민이형이 게임을 해보더니 준프로 맞냐고 했던 적이 있었는데 정말 ㅋㅋ 충격적이었어요 ㅋㅋ

13. 가장 최근에 본 영화는 무엇이며 누구랑?
▲ 최근에 여자친구랑 국가대표를 봤는데 이 영화 보고 wcg에 국가대표로 정말 나가고 싶은 마음이 들었었죠. ㅎㅎ

14. 좋아하는 이성상은?
▲ 음.. 그런 건 없고 그냥.. 첫인상을 중요시해요.

15. 포스트 마재윤이라는 얘기에 대해 한마디
▲ 아직 제가 우승도 못해보고 그렇게 잘한 것도 없는데 좋게 봐주셔서 고마운 거 같아요^^

16. 자신에게 영향을 준 프로게이머나 롤모델이 있다면 누구?
▲ 아무래도 재윤이 형이 같은 팀에 있고 해서 영향을 많이 준 거 같아요~ 도움도 많이 줬구요. 딱히 롤모델은 없어요

17. 다른 팀에서 친한 선수 3명만 꼽는다면
▲ 친한사람은 많은데 말하자면 ㅋㅋ 스파키즈에 벌레(김창희)형, 복고돼지(안준영), 공룡(송병구)형이 있네요. ㅋㅋㅋ

18. 저그 유닛 중 컨트롤할때 가장 신나는 유닛은?
▲ 여기 저기 자유분방하게 날아다니면서 견제할 수 있는 무탈!!!

19. 김명운 선수의 퀸 활용을 어떻게 생각하고 본인도 사용할 의사가 있는지?
▲ 저도 퀸을 쓰면 어떨까 하고 예전에 연습을 해봤었는데 사용하기 힘들더라고요. 명운이형이 정말 대단한 거 같아요. 저도 기회가 된다면 멋지게 활용하는 모습 보여드리겠습니다 ^^

20. 앞으로 어떤 프로게이머가 되고 싶은지
▲ 앞으로도 최선을 다해서 e-스포츠 하면 가장 기억에 남는 선수가 되고 싶어요 ~~!

다음으로 지목하고 싶은 선수와 질문(같은 팀 제외)
▲ 성은이형이요~ (삼성에 이성은 선수) 게임도 잘하면서 멋진 세레모니도 할 수 있는 비결이 무엇인지 알려주세요 ㅋㅋ

I guess in terms of sound "keke" is a decent alternative for "ㅋㅋ" but it sounds hella annoying like this >_> In Korea the "ㅋㅋㅋ" is like just as common as a "lol" that we say all the time too.

But anyway, thanks for the translation! Can't wait til FBH

It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.
