Thanks A LOT for the interview, mustve been a huge amount of work, I enjoyed it a lot .
Yeah the 1-7 hotkeys is really weird considering how strong his macro is. Nice to see their thoughts on each other, but again as usual, these interviews end up as "cock sucking om nom nom" contests. Lets hope they meet in another finals and hopefully its actually epic this time
Thank you so very much for the translation, it was a long but nice read. I always enjoy reading these interviews, thanks once again.
It really does my mind in how much these guys practice, 3 hours of sleep and then 21 hours of practice? I would go insane haha. Really surprised to hear that Jaedong doesn't use the last three keys.
I also like Jaedong's light sweater with the bear, it's kind of cute haha
- Jaedong not using 890 hotkeys - Flash kind of BM'ing his prior team, probably his right - Hints of Bisu social weirdness - No props for Stork's playing ability - Flash practicing 21 hours a day, still thinks SC is so fun
Q: Everyone is dying to see the upcoming finals between the two of you. Flash: I'm fueled by the fact that thousands of people are there to see me play. The more people there are, the greater my will to win becomes.
Q: How would it feel if Jaedong was to 4 or 5 pool against you? Flash: It never happened to me. However, a lot of our games were wrapped up by mutalisks. If it were to happen to me, the thought of “you’ve got me” would pop up, I guess. It would be mentally crippling in a series. Jaedong: When you lose like that, it does put you off your footing, so to speak.
Flash: I’m reminded of this whenever I play for the more important stages; I’m fueled by the fact that thousands of people are there to see me play. The more people there are, the greater my will to win becomes. I believe that a lot of people will come to watch me play this time, and it’s making me feel all giddy already. I’ve already mentioned in past interviews that results won’t matter as long as I participate in what I dream to be the greatest finals ever; I want everything to be perfect.

The hilarious thing about that quote is that Flash was referring to his obscene amount of practice for the finals of GomTV Classic Season 1.
