Some more news from Korean sites regarding the recent Translator Strike. UPDATED


Authorities seize Roffles, turns Roffles into an SCV

After a sting operation in Georgia, authorities have stormed in and seized Roffles from his family store. Roffles, seeing that he no longer has any chance to escape, asked for time to do the dance. The translators and authorities have agreed for the time, in exchange for Roffles being turned into an SCV. "The SCV demotion is quite the low blow. Being demoted to ils' level is something I'd never have imagined ever. I guess the only way to climb outta this mess is to cave in and shake dat azz", remarked Roffles, as he was turned into an SCV.

[image loading]
ilikestarcraft, the only precedent before Roffles to be hit by such a humiliating treatment. Carnivorous Sheep "got lucky", according to many.


The situation ended peacefully, with minimal struggle. Experts expect Roffles to remain as an SCV for the indefinite future, but the Translators have agreed that the act is even more humiliating as doing Kara's Mister dance. In the meanwhile, we at TeamLiquid are thankful that the situation resolved peacefully with minimal casualties.



More progamers speaks out regarding the strike

The strike has now hit the critical stages, as Roffles has began hiring scabs. It is not known what kind of favors Roffles had to do for l10f, and the reporters have zero intention of trying to find out. Amidst this, more and more progamers have made remarks regarding the strike, and the conclusion.

Reach, making his public statement regarding the matter at hand


Reach has questioned whether Roffles was manly enough to play Protoss. "While I know that pretty[gm] also plays Protoss, I believe that in this situation, Roffles is too feminine to handle this manly race", adding that "Real men stay true to their word". When asked if Reach would also dance to Mister after losing a grudge match, he remarked "No one could hold a grudge against me. Real men don't answer hypotheticals".

Other progamers had made remarks. Rock, another Protoss, had remarked "Roffles' stubbornness in not dancing to Mister is rivaled only by my penchant for 2 base carrier against Terran". Jaehoon, another Protoss remarked that he "deems Roffles to be unworthy of the arbiter icon", and demanded that Roffles be demoted to an SCV immediately. Sea also joked about Roffles' chances of manning up, stating that "the day that Roffles gets his arbiter icon back is the day I advance to the round of 8 in a Starleague"




The Strike Worsens

The Translation Strike that has started yesterday night has worsened overnight, flamewheel reported. "Bans are being handed out now for the novice translators who have no idea what they're doing! They're cute :3", remarked flamewheel.

The strike is already seeing some effects. Notable users such as Harem has already started showing signs of withdrawal, as he began claiming that "Killer is gosu", and began absolute denial that Hwaseung is out of the running for the post season, with delusionary remarks such as "Backho is back." and "Lomo is a puppy dog". Harem has been taken into custody, and the doctors have hinted that it may be too late.

If you think this is a puppy, seek help immediately.


In the meanwhile, Roffles has been seen making statements such as "I'm on strike", attempting to draw the strike out as long as possible. Authorities are now considering the nuclear option - in a never-done-before Trans-race operation, turn Roffles into an SCV until the situation is resolved. Until that solution is operation, the strike shows no sign of ending.



HiyA speaks out regarding the "Dance Dance Translation Strike" in TeamLiquid

As the situation between Roffles and the rest of the TeamLiquid community worsened due to the Mister Dance incident, TeamLiquid's hunger for proper Korean news has hit the international community hard. The strike has also become the talk of the Korean eSports community, and within the midst, HiyA has spoken out.

He referred to Roffles' dodging as a "massive disservice to the fans", asserting that "without ceremonies, Roffles would be just another TL user, like Carnivorous Sheep". He justified his claim, stating that "without [his] ceremonies, I would just be another boring Terran like Flash", and said that "Fanservice is key to becoming baller".

Netizen Reactions
+ Show Spoiler +

"I can't believe they even dared to compare Roffles to CSheep. That's low"
"Remember when Americans had a spine?"
"lol Roffles is chinese isn't he?"
"remember when american's never got caught losing"




Fantasy: "I'm glad Roffles is a terrorist like me"

Fantasy has applauded Roffles' dodge, saying that the act is fitting that of the "cheater race", and how Roffles should consider switching to Terran.

Roffles, in cohorts of Fantasy


"He's only a D+ Protoss", said Fantasy. "But I think he can hit A if he switches over to Terran. He is that dishonorable." Continuing, he said that "I take out good players out of the Starleagues just to deprive people of a potentially good series", and added that "I hope that Roffles continues this act of Terrorism upon the TeamLiquid community, by cutting the community out of all plausible sources". He has hinted that he would like the Broodwar forum in TeamLiquid would be more like its Starcraft 2 forums.

He concluded. "Yellow told me I was in the Kong line. Well, the reason I want to escape out of the Kong line is not because I want to win a Starleague, but so I can start my own "I hate everyone" line. And the first person I'm inviting is Flash and Roffles"

I am dreading when this situation gets to out of control that the museum of natural starcraft history is looted and burnt to the ground.

Hiya is right on the mark here. The Carnivorous Sheep joke might have been a bit far, but Roffles could learn a lot from Hiya's logic.

I mean, maybe he won't be able to pull out a Magikarp - Gyarados evolution like Hiya, but he could at least put on some makeup and try a Feebas - Milotic.
Oh, my eSports

There's a strike going on, where all the translators are refusing to translate any articles.

What is this. Dishonorable = A Terran?
