Absolutely great job with the translations!

It's nice to see a different side from progamers. It's great to be able to hear them having fun at an interview and churn out answers that aren't along the lines of "I practiced really hard for this match. I want to give credit to X for helping me. La la la"

God Bless

Thanks for the translation. It was such a sick read.

Flash gracious and states that others are better than him.

Jaedong doesn't bother to name anyone better, and instead just says "it's awkward"...hrm


I picked up on that too. If you think about it more deeply, it makes perfect sense.

In all sports or competitions, there are players who just have 'it'. I'm talking about that killer instinct; the fire inside of them not to only beat their opponent but to humiliate and embarrass them. Inside, they truly believe that they are the best. Similar to Michael Jordan; they just seem somewhat of a douche (for lack of a better word, just the vibe you get) or somewhat socially awkward. But that's what makes them such monsters on the court or in any competitive atmosphere.

Fantastic interview, I really liked

Q: Do you ever get fed up with all the practice? How do you overcome these frustrations if you do have them?
Jaedong: I try not to think like that, so I don’t. If such a train of thought start to cross my mind, I do all I can to set myself straight right away through mind control. That’s how I deal with it. It’s a battle against yourself. There’s nothing to tell apart from the fact that I do what I can to stay focused; little things like writing myself motivational notes, reading inspirational passages from books, and setting aside some time before I sleep for meditation.


Also, Jaedong likes Irish Indie Folk Rock? How awesomely random.

Thank you for the MASSIVE translation! I had a lot of fun reading this. From my perspective, this one is considerablly better than the Stork/Bisu interview due to the relaxed atmosphere between the two players.

Flash: Wasn’t Jaedong doing well whatever the stage happened to be (laughs)? I was so jealous of him. Those were the days when everyone had pity on me for the “slave labour” my team put me through. To be honest, it drove me wild with envy that Jaedong had such solid teammates. I remember taking the initiative to ask the team to recruit more players (laughs). I was so happy when ForGG first came…. (laughs).


LOLZ, taking a pot shot at ForGG.



Flash: Jaedong doesn’t have any callus on his hands, but I can tell right away that they have been overworked. Our teammates discussed before how Jaedong’s hands have been overtaxed. I think they’re in a very bad state.


Friendly advice: watch out for arthritis. >__>

Jaedong: I never use the last three numbers on the keyboard.
Flash: That’s quite a rarity. It’s hard to master Zerg without extensive keyboard usage you see. He’s similar to Savior in that respect.


Ha! So the Zerg race has not yet found its perfect player. The perfect Zerg player would be Jaedong with a bigger hand.

Solution: Hand Implant.

As for Hwaseung Oz, I’m most envious of the special treatment Jaedong gets from his manager.

Mother Cho would never push her kid to 21 hours per day practice.

Just 13 instead.

Jaedong: I’ve heard about the earthquake that struck Haiti. After discovering the extent of the destruction, I’ve decided to do some research on the humanitarian aids. If possible, I’ll try donating my bit for the Haiti Earthquake Relief.


I like this guy.
