Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this project. I am typing this from OGN's press room (where I haven't sat for almost two years) and I'm happy to say it was a resounding success in terms of both content and delivery.
Thanks to OpticalShot for translating all the messages in the book for us :D (translation credits below are for the videos only.)
Here are former player turned coach Hery, YellOw, Reach and FlaSh giving you their thanks and support for Violet.
(They had a good giggle at the end because poor FlaSh had trouble pronouncing 'liquid'.)
Thanks again everyone :D

"Hello I am Reach from KT Rolster. I want to thank all the fans for writing messages for violet. I'm also hoping for his quick recovery, so I hope we'll be able to see him play again soon. Thank you."
"Hello, I'm Flash from KT Rolster. I want to thank everyone for caring for Violet from all over the world. I'm sure he'll get well soon with your wishes, and he'll be able to play with us again. Please continue to support Violet."
"Hello, I'm YellOw from KT Rolster. Thanks to everyone's messages, Violet seems to be getting better. (something I can't make out). We're all trying our best for Violet so continue to cheer for him. I hope that he will get better soon so he can be on the stage with us again for everyone. Thank you very much."
"Hello, I'm Coach Hery from KT Rolster. I knew there were a lot of fans cheering for Violet, but I was surprised that there were so many foreign fans cheering him on. Since so many people are cheering for him, I hope Violet will get better soon. Violet is staying optimistic and trying to get better for his fans, so keep cheering him on until he is well. Thank you."
Reach: “Huh? Again?” *Giggles* “Hello, this is KT Rolster’s Reach. Uh, we’re really thankful to have so many fans write supporting messages for Violet, and since I’m also cheering Violet on to get well soon, it would be great if we could see a healthy Violet again soon. Thank you very much.”
(Note: Reach said 'Again?' because we did two takes - he started too early first time round ^_^; )
Flash: “Hello~ This is KT Rolster’s Flash. To have so many supporting messages for Violet hyung from so many different countries makes me really thankful. And since Violet hyung is receiving so much support from everyone, he’s definitely going to get better. He’s going to get better and play in matches with us again soon, so I hope that everyone will continue to cheer for Violet hyung.”
Yellow: “Hello, this is KT Rolster’s pro gamer Yellow. To have everyone supp-, support Violet? Doing that kinda stuff. We’ve been talking with Violet, and it seems that he’s been getting a lotta strength, along with doing his best, and we’ve been also doing our best for him, so since we’re all doing our best for him, so I hope that you’ll continue to support him in the future. Violet will get better soon so that he’ll stand on the stage with us again for everyone. Thank you very much.”
Coach Hery: “Hello, this is KT Rolster’s Coach Hery. I knew that there were a lot of fans out there supporting Violet, but to have even foreign fans worrying about him made me shocked. To have so many people cheer on Violet will give him a lot of strength, and will make him recover quickly, and since he’s been doing his best to recover, he will get better for the sake of his fans. Please keep on supporting Violet until he gets well. Thank you very much.”
I'm still prepping the FlaSh book, but hopefully it can go out either this month. So please leave messages if you haven't already.

This all wouldn't have been realized without nevergg and her efforts in compiling all the wishes for violet and delivering to kt rolster thank you nevergg for everything . Plus getting acknowledge by kt rolster is always awesome lets keep supporting violet and kt rolster . TL.NET FIGHTING !!!!

Edit: Oops, I didn't see the translation on the 1st page. Well, I guess this will serve as a translation for those that didn't see it as well.
Thank you NeverGG for delivering the book to Violet; to be able to see KT thank Team Liquid like this is absolutely amazing, this all wouldn't have been possible without you! I hope Violet will cheer up when he sees the book himself in person.
Holy shit Neggy, outdone yourself this time, its also really great hear that Jung Ho is getting better too. Hears to more positive news about our favourite little protoss.
Awesome, thanks for all the effort that went into this. I had suspected that even if he recovered this would mean the end of Violet's career, but Flash saying he might play again made my day. Hope he's able to play again.
Thank you I10f and Spica for the translations. I added them to the op with credits. ^_^ Also thanks everyone else - it was kind of nerve-wracking to go back, but I got to see some old friends, and it felt so good to complete a project like this. I really hope Jungho enjoys reading everyone's messages.
It was pretty funny seeing the coaches saying 'It's all in English!' until I pointed out the translations hidden at the back.

I think they were pretty impressed you managed to translate so many messages. Reach was flicking through the book quite a lot during the time I was sorting out delivery.
Thanks, sorry, I didn't see that blog! Looks absolutely fantastic, great work, thanks again for doing all this, it really was a lovely feat to undertake.
this should be community news or at least spotlight. would report it for the sake of it getting hightlighted but i guess thats abusive. jinro should let gom use the "teamliquid fighting" for his intro videos^^ awesome.
erm yeah. love kt. hope violets gets better before everyone forgets about him.
Wow, this is pretty awesome and I am happy to see it work out so well. Good job to all those people who contributed and compiled the Best Wishes Card. I look forward to seeing many more good things from Violet and KT in the future!

LOL uh no. Why would we get KT Rolster players to make messages for a WC3 player? O.o;
Yeah. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense o.o
A lot of people on this forum came to it for SC2, and some of them have never heard of pro BW players, but have heard of pro WC3 players. It's a bit of a shame but understandable.

But this is posted in the BW forum, you would think that people have some common sense
I'm sure everyone at KT is impressed with the wishes we all sent Violet as a community, I'm so thankful to everyone that responded and to NeverGG and anyone who had a hand making/delivering the messages. I hope this improves Violet's spirits and it makes all of us feel a little bit closer to everything that happens in Korea. The internet truly is wonderful for bringing us all together.

well thats not really me, i watched every OSL MSL final for quite a few years, i played BW before wc3, i didnt really follow the proleague, i would watch it with one of my friends who was quite into BW and he would tell me who the players were and i can recognise by face about the top10 players, but i dont know the rosters of teams etc
i thought it might be the wc3 violet because i havent seen him playing in a while, and thought he may have gone to sc2, and since hes in korea and plays e sports proffesionaly, its not a stretch to think he would be friends with people like flash? Football players would undoubtably have friends who are baseball players
It seems really weird that you wouldn't know a very well known BW player despite following the scene for multiple years, especially before you knew a WC3 player with a similar tag and assumed that it was him, despite this forum having nothing to do with WC3.
It's all a big tangent and isn't that big a deal, though. All you need to know is that Violet was a very popular and lively BW player, one of the very few who showed any sort of attachment to TL itself, who suddenly became ill with cancer very recently. Teamliquid put together a project to wish him a speed recovery, and even put a little ribbon for him next to its name to show its support. He was on the KT team, and that's why we got a bunch of responses from KT players.
Your mistake was an honest one, even if it was a bit weird.

this is pretty awesome, thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. thanks nevergg and opticalshot! also thanks to l10f and spica for translating!
Although I have no in-dept knowledge of the Brood War scene I would like to show my appreciation by thanking and cheering on all those involved in this project. Congratulations, job well done.
Thank you sir, I surely hope Violet is doing great in his prognosis. He and numerous other leukemia sufferers I knew in my life inspired me to study biochemistry right now and I'll never forget any one of them.

Not sir lol. I'm a woman. I hope we can keep getting some news on how he's doing in the future. GL with your studies.
I didn't involve myself in this since i never played BW and didn't know Violet from before i learned he was sick, but all you guys deserve a pat on the back, extremely well done.
This is so amazing, really brings a manly tear to my eyes! =3 Embarrassing to think that our own words were being read by KT Rolster themselves, keep up the good work on this awesome project! NeverGG, you are a legend in TL. =3
Has there been any recent news on Violet? I've tried searching about, but I can't find anything. Maybe if I knew Korean it would be easier to search...

Bump!
I notice the ribbon on TL's banner has gone for some time now, so I've been wondering how Violet has been doing? I too, don't know Korean, so it's hard to find answers.
Do hope he's making a recovery, but it has only been 3-4 months, so I think that's impossible for the time being.
A bit presumptuous but maybe after MSL Finals, a card for Flash maybe in order? I realize it takes a lot of work, but the ultimate weapon is after all, facing some irreversible trouble.
