I wonder if any TLers found them shopping around today. And I know that the foreigners aren't much (also see: any) challenge to those 3, but JD should still show more tact towards his opponents imo. Thanks for the translations. | ||

It is very fitting if you understand the cultural reference  | ||

In China, the spectators were both intense and numerous, but in Los Angeles, I don’t feel the same intensity. Compared to SCBW, these spectators are more interested in Warcraft 3. WCG China was so epic. It should be like that every year, the players deserve it (the Korean BW ones I mean). It's sad when the audience sucks. | ||

Q: Today’s games are over, what are you going to do? A: I only know Flash and Jaedong, so I’ll do whatever they do. Probably check out the city streets. There’s no real practice environment, so I’d be hard-pressed to practice. Isn't that kinda unusual and bad? | ||

[T/N note: same ans as Flash] The shopping centers are having a sale right now, so I’ll go and simultaneously explore Los Angeles’ urban area a bit. Not too south, I hope. That area isn't a good one. I hope these guys have somebody who can act like a tour guide or something. LA is kinda unique among major cities in that almost everything of interest occurs away from downtown. And WCG is a month early this year compared to last year, so no Laker games yet. The LA Convention Center is really close to Koreatown, though, and LA has a really large one. | ||
