In all's fairness, the more I look at how entrenched BW is in Korea, SC2, while perhaps existing alongside it, will almost definitely not replace it.

Mmmm... very good interview. The topics covered are perfect, nothing too ordinary/boring.

Q: So nerves don’t affect you now?
A: Nope (laughs). I still get nervous. I took medications to help with my nerves even after I won for the first time. I won on televised matches, but the games were not indicative of my skill level. On the few occasions that I perform up to my practice games’ standards I mention it during my interviews. Regular fans don’t know much about the level of gaming that goes on in the practice room. Even now, I can’t play as well as I did during practice. If I’m to be blunt, I rarely lose during practice. It doesn’t matter whether I play my teammates, or even Bisu or Jaedong. I think if I play as well as I do during practice there’s no reason to be the underdog against these players.

Q: Your display of skill on television is ridiculously high nonetheless.
A: I think I am able to represent eighty to ninety percentage of my skill level. However, that ten percent difference is critical. It was especially so in my recent match against FBH. I was able to smile because my team won, but I was very unsatisfied with my game. People said that I played well, but I did not think so.

Q: If so, were there any games that you were truly satisfied with afterwards?
A: The come-back game against FBH was okay, and I was very happy with my performance in the GomTV Invitational finals back then. My match against Jaedong on Harmony was okay as well. I think the game I played against Mind on Othello displayed the full hundred percent of my capabilities.


Reading this gives me goosebumps. I wonder if many other progamers experience similar decreases in skill when put in front of a television.

Thanks for the translation, makes me excited to see how this year turns out.


Hyuk used to....... :p

AWESOME interview. Flash is a baller.

I love all of the good interviews coming out now. Finally we get to see some personality out of these guys.

And Reach is so manly that Flash looks up to him as a role model. Haha.

BTW guys working out does increase the ability of the brain. Yes, there's studies on this...

It's great to know as fan that he's so dedicated to SC, but man he needs to get some free time for himself.

flash is amazing, but its ironic how he gets so burned out playing 3 games straight and being the ACE of the team, when jaedong has been doing it and making it look easy. hopefully flash can man up and catch up to jaedong in that respect as well.
