trying other races in your free time and stating that your mother is your girl type is not a life by any measures

Any moron can tell that he meant the personality of his mother, there are so many western cultures that venerates their mother deeply from Italians to Africans, obviously there's no sexual connotations to what he meant.
Also, if you are too stupid to realize, girls go for men that are successful and have money, this kid probably makes more money than you or your parents at his age, he can retire sooner than most people and do whatever the hell he wants, and you are saying he has no life? Please.

it is DAMN IDIOTIC to misunderstand the question about the girltype- OBVIOUSLY it means a girl who is as pretty and nice as his mom and he is only 15. and it is asian culture to buy sth to eat for friends when they achieve sth. and he is a growing teenager and he eats a lot, that's why it helps to stay in a condition. Also, "ㅎㅎ" is more likely "haha" or "hehe" than "lol" so i guess there are some translation mistakes

LOL CARRY BIGGEST LOAD LOL WTF?

The question's more saying that he's known to have a very busy schedule, i.e. still enrolled in school while being a pro-gamer, being his team's ace etc.

Huh ?! nominated by who

anyway, great interview but I really think Flash should get a life

Gaws he is only like 15/16, he has plenty of time to make a ton of money and then be set for his prime years n_n Also, telling him to get a life is pretty fresh coming from someone with almost 2000 posts here.

Anyway, I enjoyed this interview - shows us a side of the progamers that us as foreigners rarely see as we only get streamed live games and never see any behind-the-scenes kind of footage! Look forward to more of these types of things.

There was a game between Flash and Best where Flash played toss and Best played Terras (was it KTF vs SKT1 rivalry match?) and Flash showed really good play with toss taking down Best without much trouble. Now I know why

About the type of girl question, when TV casters ask guests about 이상현, a lot of times the answers are comparative to Korean tv/movie/k-pop stars. Instead of going: blond, tall, cute eyes, small chin, long hair, bla bla, they just say the name of the korean celeb that gets closer to their ideal girl, so maybe that's the reason for the internet thing answer.

Oh, and the "I feel sorry for progamers, they don't have a life, they are pathetic losers that will die virgin, bla bla bla" it is getting kind of old.

I feel sorry for exploited kids or guys who are really struggling with life throwing shit at their faces every time they try to stand up and go on.

Progamers? It's something they chose, voluntarily, because they love the game, and I'm sure they are pretty damn happy they made it. And they do something that is socially accepted. It's not something nerdy anymore in Korea. However, keeping up with a site that discuss strategy and players of a video-game in the western culture... well, wouldn't THAT be nerdy?

No hanging out with friends? Every now and then, I read interviews and it seems like going to the movies, playing sports and doing fun stuff other than SC is pretty common, most of the times even mandatory depending on what team you play on.

Girlfriends? Well, some will have gf's, some won't. Like in.... life itself. Even TL.net. I wonder how many of the haters here have gf's. The fact that some guys here make such a big deal of having a gf, like having one makes you finally a winner, makes me wonder. Personally, having a gf has never made me feel cooler than others, not a life-winner or a life-loser. Just happy. I don't go judging others because they have no gf. Guys like Bisu, Nada, Boxer, Savior and such can snap their fingers and be sure that girls will pop out. Guys like TheZerg or Bug-Terran, well, chances are girls will not fall to their feet.

Future? Well, the biggest stars are earning loads of money, and for sure they have a future somewhere linked to the growing eSport industry. The guys who suck and won't get anywhere in SC? Well, it's not like they quit their education(see Flash). And there is life after SC. They can keep studying, and if they are determined and smart, they will make it. Just like in every other thing in life. Especially with the Korean corporation entry level tests, what you have studied doesn't limit you that much.

Oh and let me remind you, you are in a SC forum. You follow the careers of these no-life losers. Lol, you even cheer for them and curse when they lose. So, whatever. And when you mock progaming-nerds, well, just let me remind you these site is supported by a very dedicated staff that invests quite a few hours to make TL.net possible. So indirectly, you are disrespecting their efforts too.

QFT good post sir
