Nice to hear Midas sounding so confident and optimistic! I hope he really does win a starleague title, although right now I kind of doubt it
May the BeSt man win.

good interview

he seems to think very highly of himself

some see it as a bad / cocky / arrogant thing

i see it as a good thing to think highly of yourself

Lets see what Midas can do in late '08~

Midas is as vital a part of SKT1's history as Boxer and Oov.
He's the unsung hero ~_~.

I'm so glad Midas is doing well. When he hits another top 4 and chokes... I will be soooooo happy.
If he wins.. OMG!!!!!! Even happier.

Midas Midas Midas~~~ I love Midas.

Thinking too highly of yourself combined can definately be a bad/coky thing, however Midas just seem to be confident, realize his own potential and combined with willingness to practice hard it can hardly be viewed as being cocky. A bit refreshing to see someone willing to say "fuck yeah I'm good" actually.

Raymond thank you so much!

I really liked the interview alot, it seems like midas has grown up a ton, because of his long non-robotics answers we are used to hear.

I like his cockyness as well.. basically he is saying "shut up fool, I don't need to scout.. I'm in the same class as flash"

If Midas can translate this confidence in his abilities to not-choking-in-the-semis then we may have to be on the lookout for awkward ceremonies in the next MSL/OSL.

Big Midas fan here, a player distinguishable both inside and outside the game - a true character.

His game against Draco in WCG 2k5 shoutcast by Tasteless was what rekindled my spark for BW after Boxer left the scene and i've been a fan ever since.

Go Midas, would love to eat your food. ^^

Boxer - OOV - Midas = my personal dreamteam

whoever translated this did a very good job, it sounds so natural.
Someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.

Q:You were also known for your short and abrupt answers in interviews. Was this done on purpose?
Midas: No, of course I didn't do it on purpose! I had no experience back then and I got so nervous I couldn't even talk. I had no idea it was so hard to talk when I was watching other players do it. When I am playing a match I am not nervous because I am concentrated solely on the game, but in group selections I couldn't even look straight into the camera. But after about two or three seasons it started getting more comfortable. I got to know other progamers and officials more personally, and that certainly helped.

lol reminds me of:
