Amazing interview, thanks for the translation!

It's hard to imagine KT not continuing to do well considering their current lineup this season.

Flash is hotter than ever and is probably the best Ace player a team could ask for right now, Violet is an amazing success all of a sudden (and can also be clutch in Ace if the map is too P favored to send Flash out), Luxury is strong (although I think the coaches should focus on him a bit more...he looked really bad against CJ), and 815/Firefist are capable of taking down A-teamers, too.

When we get to the Bo7 format, it's hard to imagine KT losing to any other team if their lineup was something like this:

(T)Flash, (Z)Luxury, (P)Violet, (P)Stats, (Z)815, (Z)FireFist, (T)fOrGG

Crazy depth.

I've always wondered how much help players like Flash and Jaedong actually get from their coaches. With the possible exceptions of (T)BoxeR, (T)iloveoov, and (T)NaDa, it doesn't seem like any Terran would have the gravitas to be a respected coach for Flash. Well, at the very least they can get moral support.
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

HOT was always a badass. Man, I want to know the next player he's going to mentor so I can add him to my FPL team ;D!

I think that ForGG lost the motivation to play. One of the key reasons why he was that good was because he wanted to show Jaedong, his teammate at the time, that he is better. The Oz coach was pretty Jaedong biased. I think that I read that from an interview.

Now ForGG accomplished what he strived for. He has lost the motivation to win.

Haha I love the name Zergbong..

Great interview I'm too newschool to know much about H.O.T, but this provided some good insight.

AMAZING INTERVIEW.

This must be the best interview I have read on TL. It tells us so much what's going on inside the teams. I have to say I was surprised by many things. I was always wondering what was the role of coaches and now it seems pretty clear.

Also, this interview makes me like Violet even more. Go Violet!

No one explicitly mentions that the coach is biased. But I guess the actions from the players can be construed to show that. Not to mention all the Korean peeps (konadora, Hoon+others) say so.

Coaching is obviously not about being better than the players. None of the coaches are EVER better.

Thanks for this interview!
I'm so glad that Flash's team is supporting him properly, normally it's just Flash against the world and they didn't make the playoffs last season which was a complete travesty -_-

h.o.t-forever indeed.
