wow I was never much of a best fan, but I feel so sad for him after reading this... I guess it sucks to be slumping and sick. I agree with the card idea--this man needs some cheering up!

wow... Almost wish I hadn't read the interview. Thanks for translating so fast (reference to hite game means it was written in the past week). I stay a best fan until the day he retires, and then for some time after that. Doh Jae Wook fighting!

Oh, and now there going to interview another protoss silver medalist who is slumping, and I'm a big fan of. Hopefully that one won't be as sad.

Depressing... but the sad reality of many progamers. I love Best but for sure he hasn't hit rock bottom yet. We can only imagine what was going on with Kwanro, Guemchi and others when they decided to quit.

Anyway he was on the bench in last nights game, and a group of fans did show up to give him support with a bunch of signs. Cheer up, Best!

"Naturally, it has to be Jangbi." XD

The king of macro will be back. I'm looking forward to round five!

This made me so sad

It's very easy to forget sometimes how much pressure these progamers are really under. It must be really painful to watch yourself fade away like that. Here's hoping he will have a great come back in R5!

Definitely wish we could send him a card. If only he knew his fans on the other side of the world are still rooting for him, it might cheer him up some!

But I'm sure he'll come back with a vengeance, and macro so hard that he rolls his opponent with a 300/200 army. Best fighting!

I hope he recovers soon.

It's sort of bad seeing BeSt do so poorly.

Wow...The first depressing progamer interview I ever read. I was hoping for some really light hearted fun questions but it was a complete opposite.

Hope Best recover from this.

I'm a Best fan since the 2008 OSL finals is what first got me into BW progaming... poor Best. I don't think I've ever read a BW interview that was this honesty about the progamer reality.

Never thought him to sound so dejected with being a progamer. It hasn't been a year since he showed off his abs during the SPL finals to taunt KT. Also wasn't that long ago that he did the "Bad Girl, Good Girl" dance. But the last game I saw him play was Flash manhandling him with mech drops left and right. I think his slump started then.

Of course, Asian culture is more "disciplined" by their parents at younger stage of their life, so they tend to take every critism much more seriously than the western people and therefore more likely to be depressed (I know this cuz I am Asian). Why can't progamers be like "Fuck you man! At least my mother can fit into an overlord/nydus canal" or something like that and then show everybody who is the boss?

I always thought that was common knowledge haha.

I would totally be in for a BeSt get well card as well.

Bit of a depressing interview, hang in there best!

I really don't think it makes a difference what culture you're from, there's lots of people who are intensely critical of strangers for no apparent reason.

Well statistically speaking (or from what I have seen), Asians are more sensitive to these things.
