Thanks for the amazing translation!

Flash is the most naturally talented player in SC history and the level of dominance he displayed at the age of 15 will never happen again. It's been a rough and bumpy ride since then but I still believe Flash can become the "next level" super megastar that seemed almost inevitable 18 months ago. He has stagnated in skill and style for awhile but once upon a time it really looked like he had one more "leap" left in him and it's starting to look like that again.

If SC lives for another 2 or 3 years, I still believe he will end up in the elite 4+ (MSL/OSL) titles group with Nada/Oov/Savior/JD in the end.

Amazing job Letmelose. Thank you so much. One of the best interviews I've ever read, you're a fantastic writer.

It's incredible to see the difference in honesty of these interviews compared to the almost cookie cutter post match interviews, especially from proleague. I loved it.

"There will never be an opportunity like this for me ever again. This is the time to win." (in regards to plans of having a girlfriend)

I can't explain it, but that quote was oddly inspiring coming from a person/player like Flash. Such focus can only be admired.

can someone explain this?
i know taek from kim taek yong
lee from lee jaedong
what about bang and ssang?
not part of song byung goo or lee young ho

Well I think Bang's just a nickname for Stork and it does sound like a more dynamic version of "Byung." People just took the "Taek-Bang" Era thing and attached "Double Lee" to it for Lee Jaedong and Lee Young Ho.

great interview - this has to be in spotlight ASAP!, FlaSh is probably the strongest right now (he is PROgamer).

I hate to make a sweeping generalization like this, but this is probably the best interview the starcraft scene has ever produced. There's much more useful information here than not, which is actually a big deal when you consider how much of normal progamer interviews are fluff. I actually feel like I've learned things about not only Flash, but the scene as a whole and the fame it produces for some people. This gives me a far greater appreciation for Flash than I've had before, and it puts a more human face on his seemingly perfect play.

Also, his answer regarding Starcraft 2 was the wisest I've seen, and even many people here could take a lesson from it.

Thanks so much for this translation.
