The current players cannot feel joy playing the game right now. Looking at the empty stadiums, we cannot help but sigh.


Well, this is his best quote in the interview. Never have truer words have been said


I really fear for KespA player reading this... I really like SC2 and love BW but... that makes me sad the new game killed the greatests player of all time.

It was a warming interview even if it's sad.

Wasn't there only a short period of time when SKT Zergs were actually reliable?

Well, never knew much about s2 but from this interview, he seems like someone you just have to like.

That’s a really touching interview. Thanks for the effort with the translation. Everything he says is so true. I must confess that I to knew very little about him. He seems like such a nice and genuine guy. I wish him the best of luck with whatever he chooses to do in life and am sure he will live a happy life with that kind of attitude. If he chooses to drop in and play a few SOSPA games I’ll surely be rooting for him.

Friends are the most important thing in life.

Pikachu is from CJ/Star.

He was on SKT for a few months at the end of his career! Although I agree it's a little strange to call him an SKT zerg.

Anyway, S2 seems like a great guy, and I definitely enjoyed his games. Best of luck to him, and thanks for the translation!

THIS is an esports personality to endorse, not the parodies SC2 gave rise to.

Maybe living in a team house for years working towards a common goal is a really formative experience. My father always tells me about how we should reinstitute the draft, not because it's useful, but for character building. These progamers may be 3-4 years behind on getting an education and such, but they're probably 'wise for their age' and such.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

So sad players can not enjoy SC2, but I do not blame them. It is difficult to play a game you do not like and are not doing well in. Most of the remaining ex-BW players are just in it for the money, but if that does not work out for them, they will just quit, as they do not even have passion for the game to continue as a pro.
How he says that no one is taking responsibility, I feel that Blizzard is the only one at fault. Players are not to blame for a game that is not fun (on top of the desolate audience).

I hate how SC2 makes players miserable at doing what they do.

/waiting for him on Afreeca.

good article, thanks for translation! Interesting to see s2's non-progamer side and how he was kind/put friends first which is something that makes it easy to relate to him. Wishing him the best of luck!

When you think about it, compulsory military service, while initially seen as a burden, can be seen in the long run as a benefit for Korean players. Because you spend most of your life in a team house with little to no education, the military is a great way of establishing life and social skills over relatively short period of time.
