To be honest I really liked this paragraph:
Q: Don’t you want to get a girlfriend?
A: I don’t have the time to meet one. Back when I had one there was more time, but now I’m too busy. During the off-season I catch up with several friends, but I don’t think I can date anyone. The most important thing is that it’s not possible for me to retain my performance if I get a girlfriend. There will never be an opportunity like this for me ever again. This is the time to win.

It makes me think of one of the songs that I always related to very strongly. It's "Endgame" from chess and even though I can't be bothered to write how the story goes here is the lyrics I meant anyway
+ Show Spoiler +
They all think they see a man
Who doesn't know
Which move to make
Which way to go
Whose private life
Caused his decline
Wrecked his grand design

Some are vicious, some are fools
And others blind
To see in me one of there kind

Anyone can be
A husband, lover
Sooner them than me
When they discover
Their domestic bliss is
Shelter for their failing

Nothing could be worse
Than self-denial
Having to rehearse
To endless trial
Of a partners rather sad
Demands prevailing
Backho fan since 080416. Favourite terran: Mind. Favourite Zerg: Jaedong.

That was one of the best if not the best interview I've read. It would make me an instant Flash fan, if I wasn't already.

Thank you so much for this, Letmelose!

Wow, awesome interview, thx fot translating.

Is Flash seriously intending to be a progamer for 10 years? That's... long...
Gotta suck to be too busy that you can't have a girlfriend for a whole decade though...

Anyway, here's to a Lee vs Lee (Flash vs Jaedong) battle coming up in the near future! (Hopefully)

To: Stork.
Subject: why you suck.

Hey now, that's just one of those things about Stork that make him awesome.
Savior and Jaedong, how come zerg progamers are so awesome?

Love interviews where the players actually talk about strategy and builds in an non "i-tried-this-build-and-i-was-lucky-it-worked-out" manner.

Thx for translation.

Flash is such a beast and such a good guy in the same time. Really a worthy role model for the next generation of gamers. Thx so so mych for the translation, one of the best interviews ever (if not the best).

... And it'll be great to see his new vP play - if it is anything like his vZ this season it'll be awesome.
"To all eSports fans, I want to be remembered as a progamer who can make something out of nothing, and someone who always does his best. I think that is the right way of living, and I'm always doing my best to follow that." - Jaedong. /watch?v=jfghAzJqAp0

It didn't make you think of the song "Lose Yourself" by Eminem?
