Oh wow. Maybe you should have posted the Calm/Movie interviews separately, since they're so long. Thank you for your hard work <3

I didn't know that they changed PL so you don't know who you're playing beforehand anymore. I guess that also explains for Fantasy's pretty poor performance. Some guys just really need that specific preparation.

and LOL poor Movie. CJ Coach is kind of crazy though... I mean, who surfs the web at 200 APM?

Thanks for the translations and all your hard work rotinegg. Really enjoyed reading Calm and Movie's interviews. It's only through interviews like these that I feel we get a real glimpse into what they're really like.

I don't get it, I mean I want Calm to do better because I like him, but PL hasn't changed, you still don't know who you're coming up against, so how is he going to prepare and do better? He's still going to have to go through/study everyone's videos?

And poor Movie, such a sad tone in his interview. Hope he overcomes his 'traumas' and does well.

Korean society's obsession with looks is depressing.

Calm is considered good looking in Korea? How can a country that completely nails what makes females look pretty be so off about what's desirable in men?

Damn I knew Move was slow, but I didn't realize he was that slow. Only 230 apm? How in the world is he so good at PvZ?

"I often imagine 'what if I were the one on that stage' or 'what if CJ were the one on that stage.' I often have nightmares about it. It's not all stress, though. I like to think of it as a teaser to the ecstasy I will feel when I finally get to lift the trophy on stage. I will play my soul out to get a taste of that feeling."

It's stuff like this that makes me a Movie fan.

These translations are damn good , I had a blast reading through them optical shot thanks for the translation .

Movie : You don't need high apm to play good starcraft , all you need is the right precision control at the moment.

Calm : I am going to be the stx ace in these year proleague 2011-2012

reading these inspires me , having a clear objective of where you want to go and even if you are slow you will get there .... thanks for the opinion movie . I have to rework my self too if that is the case . !

Calm was gorgeous back when he wore glasses :<

Now his eyes kind of creep me out. He should put them back on.

God dang Calm, I can't think of him as Clam now after that interview. Not even Bisu gets that many questions about his looks in interviews

And poor Movie, really makes me feel for the guy after he basically choked against Action and Hoejja

Wow, thanks a ton rotinegg, four-in-one and they're all really interesting reads. Good to hear JD's still godly. Hopefully all the team pal players get back to where they were in time for the first match.

Calm actually had some very insightful things to say, when they weren't asking silly questions about his looks (though for the record he looks a lot better with glasses imo). I do miss the entry announcements before matches. I feel it makes for better games when players know who to prepare for and it's easier to get hyped about a match when you know which players will be facing which ahead of time. I really hope STX pulls things together this season, otherwise they're going to get eaten alive.

I always thought Movie was a pretty suave-looking guy, not sure what the reporter's beef with him is. Didn't realize his APM was that low though, it's impressive he's that good clocking in at 230.
