Question by @hjhee17 What is Coach Park Dae-kyung to you?
Someone who gave me another chance to rise again.
Question by @meeening_s Who is the senior in the army that is the nicest to you? I’m also curious about Coach Park and Coach Song. Please compare their appearances, personalities, coaching styles, etc.
The nicest (?) person would be M18M. If Coach Park is sociable, Coach Song is charismatic. Of course, that doesn’t mean Coach Park is not charismatic. I’m only judging appearance alone. Their coaching styles are private matters so I can’t go into too much detail but both equally do a great deal for the player and the team.
Question by @EllenoreSpring How have your ceremonies affected your life as a progamer? Do you have ceremonies that remain in your memory and ceremonies that you wish you didn’t do? Please also let me know where you get your ideas for them.
I think ceremonies have made me who I am today. There are several ceremonies that remain with me. The first one is my swimsuit ceremony at Gwang-anri. I also remember the one where I played Canata in a 17 factory with all add-on tank rush and danced. There has never been a time when I regretted doing a ceremony. I either think of ceremonies on the spot or think about how I would do a ceremony in the future after getting basic ideas from the internet.
Question by @qkrdpal0428 I remember that you often did ceremonies while you were in Samsung KHAN. But you haven’t done a lot of ceremonies after going into ACE. Is there a reason why? It’s almost scary when you make a salute with those intense eyes. I really liked when you shook hands with a fan for a ceremony; will you do a handshake ceremony again next time?
I don’t think it’s the right time to do ceremonies at the moment. I occasionally do ceremonies after I get really happy from a game that I won. It certainly is a good thing to shake hands. I do handshakes not only after games but also at fan meetings so please come!
Question by @happy_jieun It’s impossible to think about ceremonies without thinking of FBH. What is the ceremony that you like the most? Also, have you ever been scared of getting backlash from your ceremonies?
Back when Boxer was still in ACE, I was afraid of a backlash when I did a jumping ceremony after I won an ace game. I winced a little bit. I answered your other question in the previous question but I also remember the ceremony where I danced around progamer X (T/N: Yes he means Savior) after beating him.
Question by @Eunhwaaa I’ve been missing your unique ceremonies ever since you entered ACE and began to show an intense military image. When will we be able to see “Heuk-neuh-nim”’s ceremonies again (T/N: This nickname is a play on the Korean words for “black” and “God” which I think is a reference to his dark colored skin)? Hyun has been coming up after you with his ceremonies; if you were to judge Hyun’s ceremonies, what would you say?
I think that he has established a name for himself. I think that his ceremonies are much higher in quality as well. I enjoy watching his ceremonies. I will be an Airman 1st class starting in July so I will be doing ceremonies a little more often starting next season.
Question by @agogo__2 Your skin color is unusually dark. Is there a reason why? I want to know if it was like that since birth or if turned dark during puberty.
It was dark since birth. I had a complex about it when I was in elementary and middle school. I got a lot of stress because people made fun of me. Whether it was by coincidence or not, I met one of the guys who made fun of me when I entered the military. He had transferred in during February. It was really awkward but that was momentary and we became friendly with each other. Ah that was a long side story.
Question by @kalie_j What is your feeling about being picked for the All-star games with an overwhelming vote? I’m also interested in your comrades’ responses. Also, there are assessments that your TvP is weak and I’m wondering how you plan to fix that.
I still feel deeply moved when I think about the All-star games. I’m not sure if I was able to show some fun games. A lot of players at the time regretted not doing an interview (T/N: not sure what that means..). I’m not that good yet at TvP but I feel that I need to completely overhaul my concept of it.
Question by @mj_0117 It seems like people could have made fun of your name sounding like a girl’s name (T/N: His Korean name is Lee Sung-eun). I’m wondering if you have any stories to tell about it.
My name got buried underneath my skin color so I don’t remember being made fun of about my name.
Question by @zoxn9 What does Samsung KHAN mean to you? When you were in KHAN and practiced with Stork, who won more often? Please answer honestly.
I see KHAN as the team that gave birth to me. You could call it a mother, if you had to be metaphorical. It feels like a house that took care of me since I was young. And in my memory, Stork was much more superior than me.
Question by @Daumpotplayer If Stork or Jangbi, the players that the previous ACE coach wanted, entered ACE, how would you treat them? Living up to your nickname “Black-macro-knight”, is there a know-how on how you are so good at measuring distances in TvT?
If they entered, Stork and Jangbi would even more than just sons to me. I would let them sit down and watch TV since they are new but I wonder if my superiors would let me do that. Hahaha. That’s a joke. I would just follow the military rules. Calculating siege tanks’ artillery range is something that I will keep as my secret know-how.
Question by @DJ_LORD Who is the superior that tormented you the most? What is your opinion on Savior playing games on Afreeca?
I couldn't say that a superior bothered me enough to say that he tormented me. And I don’t think I am in a position to say anything about progamer X playing games on Afreeca. It seems like what I say will become an issue regardless of how I answer.
Question by @lercaa What do you feel when someone calls you “oppa”? (T/N: “Oppa” is an honorific used by younger females towards friendly, but slightly older, males.)
I welcome it. It makes me flutter. I am waiting for someone to excite me like that. Older girls are welcome too. Was my answer too intense? The military has made me like this. I’m joking.
artfully dodging the savior question there. thanks for the translation white_horse, these are awesome XD. All the questions seemed focussed on his ceremonies, wish they'd done this one when us foreigners knew about it :O
I think he looks much better with short hair and no glasses. fun interview, too. thanks for translating. I don't mind too much that FBH is cutting down on the obnoxious ceremonies. They were fun, but I also like the more mature but still likable image he projects now.
ARRRGGGG come on! How can they not ask his feeling about Much's Pylon heart revenge? Also I would like to know how other progamer feels about his ceremony.

yeah a question about him and Much being on the same team would be awesome.

Most Koreans are really pasty (at least for Asians), and they're one of the most genetically homogenous ethnic groups in the world, so any little difference probably gets noticed.

Bit surprised he got asked this
I'm not suprised. Bisu may have dethroned Savior but it was FireBatHero who destroyed his soul XD.

He's been asked about Much's ceremony before in previous interviews, and his answer was exactly what you would expect from someone who loves ceremonies.

I'll call him heroic, I'm quite bored with all the stale polite answers most pro-gamers do. To me, FBH is a shining beacon in a monotonous sea of stale mediocrity

Originally only knew of this guy from his crazy ceremonies (since I'm more SC2 baby), was very surprised when I saw him on power rank, what an awesome guy.
Cool that he's not ashamed of his ceremonies and that transformation from crazy ceremony guy into mean lean killing machine that army made is such an awesome back story.
This guys is amazing his victory Dance was the most funniest thing i have seen every lol was a great show and hes a amazing player as well good cover on this and interview

Please tell me what he said.
I think he laughed at it, and proceeded, together with..someone(free?) , in a 2v2(I read that somewhere) to create their own heart (even though they were losing).

I think the proper term is pale. I'm just surprised because I'm Chinese and his skin color doesn't look out of the ordinary to me at all.

eh i can see where you are coming from, but i still think he's a villain.
basically savior was destroying everything until he hit a wall called bisu. then along comes firebathero and dances around on his grave sending savior into an eternal slump. he was responsible for ruining one of bw's greatest heroes. the lone zerg bonjwa.
but then the match fixing scandal pretty much ruins that whole view and makes him seem a lot more heroic xD

AAaahhhh I. just. LOVE. those pictures, they've got such a subtext of "this is my serious face. LOL 'serious face' are you kidding?" And any question about Much would be quite timely.

his tvt is still state of the art, as i understand, his tvz average+, and he still is not good in tvp? what has happened? or are those question askers just as far behind on the news as i am?
whether or not, he is still my bw hero. does anyone know if he is up for joining khan again after military service or something like that? maybe even playing sc2 where he can go completely hogwild with ceremonies because of no kespa?

Actually in the military, his TvT stayed the same, still very technical and consistent. His TvZ kinda dropped, but that's if you compare it to his peak (before he left Khan he practically had nothing left in the tank). His TvP improved by leaps and bounds but is still vulnerable to a Protoss who either knows what he's doing, is not slumping, or is simply mechanically superior.
Hi, TLers Comet from wfbrood.com(China) I have translated this article into Chinese and posted on www.wfbrood.com. I have clearly stated that this was taken from here and I will bring the feedback from China back to here. Here is the link:http://bbs.wfbrood.com/thread-29726-1-1.html Thanks
Hi, feedback from China. jiang88526: every time when I saw the evil grin of FBH, I could help to laugh. (I think he is no offense) sherry : FBH did a great job in ace match, I really appreciated him.
kisaragi : the pics of FBH looks like that he is 30+ years old.
真冬之星座: when I read this interview, I was listening a song called "Secret Base~君がくねたもの~" by chance, and i suddenly felt so sick at heart. (T/N: i dont know why. = =)
三攻三防三护盾 : "Back when Boxer was still in ACE, I was afraid of a backlash when I did a jumping ceremony after I won an ace game. I winced a little bit. I answered your other question in the previous question but I also remember the ceremony where I danced around progamer X (T/N: Yes he means Savior) after beating him. " ------------------------------ it seems that Boxer still has a high status among pro-gamers, even FBH wincedd a little bit. O_o
xqkp: FBH is not handsome as he was. (T/N: joking?)
weigeyellow : even FBH is not the top progamer, he is still been loved by many fans for his unique style. The team needs someone like him to cheer it up. and the live broadcast needs something like his ceremonies to cheer the atmosphere. Fans all expecting his ceremonies. Of course, it was hard for him when he did a bad job in the matches. He has to suffer a lot of criticizes. Anyway, I want to say to FBH, who entered the militery but still want to make a contribution to BW that, FBH fighting!!
