READ THIS FIRST FLASH HATERS. PLEASE. DON'T BE RETARDED AND JUMP THE GUN
On December 30 2008 04:58 AloneInDaBunker wrote: yea the reason there are so many 'lol' or 'keke" is because the interview has been done online. "ㅎㅎ" is more like smily expression than "lol". When asked their fav girl type, Koreans usually refer to attractive female singers or actresses. And only way progamers can learn about them out of their 12 hr training per day, is through checking photos& interviews of them on internet. This is why Flash said he can't answer because he hasn't been on the net checking them out. hope this answers some of your complains. gj mrhoon for translating.
- 이영호는 이런 사람이다. 자기 소개 한마디 - Describe 'Flash' in one sentence ▲ 안녕하세요. KTF 에이스 이영호입니다. ▲ Hello everyone, I am KTF ace Lee Young Ho
- 프로게이머를 직업으로 선택한 이유는 - So why did you become a progamer? ▲ 음... 한동욱 선수를 TV에서 보았는데 경기를 너무 멋지게 하시길래 선택하게 되었습니다. ▲ Hmm... I guess when I saw Casy playing on TV he played in such brilliant plays so I decided to be one.
- 프로게이머로 활동하며 가장 기억에 남는 일은 - Most memorable moment as a progamer? ▲ 박카스 스타리그가 아닌가 싶네요. 저에게는 두번 다시 잊을수 없는 기억이에요. ▲ Bachaus OSL. I don't think I'll ever forget that moment
- 지금까지 치른 경기 중에 가장 기억에 남는 경기는 - Most memorable game? ▲ 이제동 선수와 스타리그 8강에서 카트리나에서 맞붙었떤 경기가 가장 기억에 남네요 ㅎ. ▲ I gotta say vs Jaedong at RO8 on Katrina. Most memorable for me lol
- 프로게이머로 활동하며 가장 힘들었던 순간은 - Hardest moment as a progamer? ▲ 지난 시즌 후반기가 아닌가 싶네요. MSL 4강에 스타리그 8강, 곰티비 준우승, 프로리그 다승왕을 하고 욕먹는 심정 아무도 모를거에여. 데뷔한지 2년도 안되었는데 저에 대한 기대가 커서 좀 부담스러운거 같아요 ㅠㅠ. (김)택용이 형이나 (송)병구 형, (이)제동이 형은 데뷔가 저보다 1년 이상은 빨랐잖아여 ㅎ. ▲ I guess it was probably last season... MSL Semifinals, OSL RO8, GomTV Silver Medal and even with the most proleague wins so many people criticized me and hated me. I doubt people understand that feeling... I haven't even been a progamer for a full 2 years yet people treat me as if I was on the progaming scene like I was here from the start so it is very hard for me ㅠㅠ. Also Bisu Hyung, Stork Hyung and Jaedong Hyung are all debuted 1 year earlier than me.
- 프로리그에서 꾸준한 활약을 보여주고 있는 비결이 뭔지 - So whats the secret to coming out on every KTF game? ▲ 감독님이 믿고 내보내주셔서 그런 것도 같고 팬들의 믿음에 보답 할수 있는 길이 요즘 프로리그 밖에 없다보니 정말 죽기 살기로 하게 되어서 그런거 같네요 ㅎㅎ. ▲ Well I guess some of it is that head Coach trusts me, but it also seems like Proleague is the only way to satisfy my fans so its more of a 'Do or Die' thing lol.
- 테란이 침체된 상황에서 본인이 테란을 이끌고 있다는 평을 받고 있는데 - You are called to be the terran 'savior' in this toss age ▲ 테란도 잘하는 선수가 정말 많은거 같아요 ㅋㅋ. 박성균 선수나 정명훈 선수, 이성은 선수, 신상문 선수 등 정말 많은 것 같은데 테란이 요즘 약한 종족으루 평가 되는 것 같아서 조금 아쉽네요 ㅎㅎ. ▲ Yeah but there are alot of great terran players lol. Mind, Fantasy, FBH and Leta are very good but people keep saying terran is a weak (doesn't say weak, but kinda 'bad' I guess?) race so I feel kinda bad lol.
- 아직 학생 신분인데 학업과 게임을 병행하기 어렵지 않은지 - Isn't it hard going to school AND being a progamer? ▲ 이제 2년 가까이 하다 보니까 익숙하구 학교에서 배려도 너무 많이 해주셔서 전혀 그런걸 못 느끼겠어요. ▲ I've been doing this for 2 years so its not really hard. Not to mention my school is really, really supporting me.
- 스타리그 우승했을 당시의 기분을 설명한다면 - How did you feel when you won the OSL? ▲ 정말 세상을 다 가진듯한 기분이였어요 ㅎㅎ. 말로는 표현하지 못할만큼 좋았어요. 저한테 못된 행동을 한 분들도 다들 좋게만 보이더라구여 ㅋㅋ. ▲ It felt like I was on top of the world lol. Its really hard to describe how good it felt but thats what I like about it so much. Alot of people who didn't like me previously suddenly started being nice to me too kekeke
- 팀의 막내로써 좋은 점과 불편한 점 - How does it feel being the youngest player in KTF? ▲ 예전에는 조금 힘들었지만 이제는 저랑 동갑이 2명이나 더 있어서 ㅎㅎ 나쁜점은 없는 것 같아요. 하지만 좋은 점도 딱히 없는 것 같네용. ▲ It was hard long ago but now there are 2 other people who are the same age as me.
- KTF의 성적이 계속 좋지 않은데 그 원인이 무엇이라고 생각하는지 - KTF is doing bad, what do you think is the problem? ▲ 저도 그 원인이 정말 알구 싶어요. 뭉치기도 잘하고 연습도 열심히 하는데 성적이 안나와서 정말 안타까워요. 그치만 열심히하고 있으니 언젠가는 저희 팀두 분위기를 타겠죠? ㅋㅋㅋ. ▲ I want to know that too lol. When we practice we do really well but we don't put out results. But we're trying really hard so I guess our chance will come by soon kekeke
- 여가 시간에는 주로 무엇을 하며 보내는지 - What do you do during your free time? ▲ 다른 종족을 하면서 보내요. ▲ I try out other races
- 지금껏 살아오면서 가장 큰 영향을 받은 사람은 - Biggest influence in your life? ▲ 엄마요 ㅎ. 항상 뒤에서 응원해주고 저를 최고라고 생각해주셔서 제가 자신감이 많이 생기는거 같아요. ▲ My mom lol. She always cheered for me and gave me alot of confidence.
- 가장 기억에 남는 팬은 - Most memorable Fan? ▲ 전 팬분들 한명 한명이 정말 기억에 남아서요;; 누굴 뽑지를 못하겠어요. ▲ I don't forget my fans so its really hard to choose ;;
- 본인을 지명한 이제동의 질문/KTF팀의 에이스로서 다승선두를 달리고 있는데 연습을 어떻게 하는지 그리고 경기에 어떤 마인드로 임하는지 궁금하구나^___^ - Jaedong asks you 'how do you practice and what mentality do you keep during your games?' ▲ 연습은 그냥 열심히 하구요. 다 나의 상대가 안된다? 이런 마인드 입니다 ㅋㅋ. ▲ Well, I just practice really hard. And during games I think "LOL U CANT BEAT ME" keke
- 다음 선수 지목 / 물어보고 싶은 질문 하나 - Who do you want the next person to do the 30 question 30 answer interview and ask a question of your choice. ▲ 정명훈 선수를 지명하고 싶네요. 난전을 정말 잘하던데 어떻게 하면 그렇게 잘할 수 있는지 궁금하네요 ㅎ. ▲ Fantasy. I really want to know why he is so good at harassing and creating chaos.
- 프로게이머를 지망하는 사람들에게 조언 한마디 - So what do you want to tell the people who want to be progamers? ▲ 프로게이머는 정말 쉽지 않은 직업입니다. 하시려면 정말 마음 단단히 먹구 하셔야합니다ㅎ. 포기할 것도 너무 많구요. ▲ Being a progamer is really hard. If you are going to do it, you better be prepared for it lol. You also have to sacrifice alot.
- 라이벌이라 생각하는 선수가 있는지 - Who do you want to call your rival ▲ 이제동 선수라고 생각 했었는데 요즘 계속 만나면 져서 라이벌이라고 하기 조금 그렇네요 ㅋㅋㅋ. ▲ Whenever I think Rival I keep thinking about Jaedong, but I keep losing against him so its really embarrassing to say that kekeke. (Note: Jaedong said the same thing about flash that he can't call him his rival because 'I am doing bad so it would be an insult to call him my rival')
- 중요한 순간에 저그에게 발목을 잡힌 경우가 많은데 보인 역시 저그전이 문제라고 생각하는지 - Whenever you were on a roll you always lost to a Zerg in the weirdest fashion. What do you think is the problem? ▲ 많이 지니까 할말은 없어요ㅎㅎ. 그치만 연습 때 만큼은 정말 저그전 못하지 않아요! ▲ I lose alot in situations like that on TV so I have nothing to say lol. But when I practice with teammates I am really good!
- 본좌 후보 1순위로 꼽히고 있는 본좌라는 칭호를 받기 위해 자신에게 필요한 것이 무엇이라고 생각하는지 - You are still nominated to be the #1 progamer closest to the Bonjwa status. What do you think you have to do to accomplish this? ▲ 아직 너무 부담스러워요. 이제 2년도 안되었는데 아직 전 우승 몇번 더 하고 와야 할 것 같아요ㅎ. 그리구 본좌가 아니라 본좌보다 더 높은 말을 듣고 말거에요. ▲ It is too much of a burden to hear stuff like this already. I haven't been on the scene for 2 years and I have to win more titles lol. But when I do get to that point, I will surpass the Bonjwa level and be called something greater.
- 이상형이 어떻게 되는지 - What is your favorite girl type? ▲ 요새는 제가 인터넷을 안해서요. 전 우리 엄마 같은 이쁜 여자요ㅋ. ▲ I didn't get on the internet for a while now... I guess my mom lol?
- 어렸을 때부터 게이머로 활동했는데 좋은 점과 힘든 점이 있다면 - You have been a progamer since you were very young. What is the good and bad thing about being young? ▲ 좋은 점은 어렸을 때부터 돈을 벌고 사회 생활을 경험한다는 점인거 같아요. 나쁜 점은 팬들에 질타에 너무 마음이 속상해요ㅠㅠ. ▲ Good thing is Im learning about life and getting paid. Bad thing is my fans are in agony whenever I lose ㅠㅠ.
- 만약 KTF 이외의 팀에서 뛸 수 있는 기회가 생긴다면 어떤 팀에서 경기해보고 싶은지 궁금합니다. - If you had the choice to be in another team other than KTF, what kind of team would you be in? ▲ 이건 좀 애매한데요. 음... 테란이 엄청 강한 팀에서 한번 있어보고 싶네요ㅎ. 서로 경쟁해 보고 싶어요! ▲ Hmm.... I guess a Terran Strong team would be cool lol. It would be awesome to constantly see who is better!
- 선배들이 팀을 떠나면서 팀을 이끄는 위치에 서게 됐는데 부담이 심하지는 않은지 - When your elders (rA, Reach, Yellow, Chojja and etc) left your team, wasn't it a burden for you since you had to lead the team now? ▲ 전혀 부담 없어요ㅎ. 주장님도 있고 우리 팀 형들이 모두 다 열심히 하자는 마음가짐이기 때문에 저는 따라가기만 하면 될 것 같네요ㅎ. ▲ Not really lol. Coaches and the other staff was there and they (staff and KTF elders) told me just to do really hard and you guys will succeed. I can just follow their footsteps lol
- 최근 잘하고 있는 프로토스 육룡에 대해 어떻게 생각하는지 - How do you feel about the 6 Dragon Age? ▲ 정말 잘하는 것 같아요ㅎ. 하지만 별루 관심은 안가네요. 분명 6명 모두 다 계속 잘할수는 없으니까요. ▲ I think they're good lol, but I am not too interested about them. Because I know all 6 of them won't stay at the top forever.
- 자신의 경기 스타일을 스스로 평가한다면 - How do you think about your play style? ▲ 전 프리스타일인 것 같아요. 운영할 때는 수비적이지만 어떨 때는 이상한 빌드도 쓰구 특이한 운영도 자주 한답니다. ▲ I think I'm a freestyle. When I macro I play defensive but I am unorthadox when I want to.
- 많은 일정을 소화하는 선수로 유명한데 힘들지는 않는지 / 본인만의 컨디션 조절 방법은? - Of all the top players, you are known to carry your team. How do you manage your condition? ▲ 힘들진 않아요ㅎㅎ. 선수이기 때문에 행복합니다. 음식으로 컨디션을 유지하는 것 같네요. ▲ Im not too tired to be honest with you lol. Im just happy I am a progamer. Eating helps though.
- 게임 외에 해보고 싶은 일이 있다면 - If you had to choose any other Job, what would it be? ▲ 선생님과 같이 누군가를 가르칠 수 있는 직업을 해보고 싶어요. ▲ I guess a teacher would be very cool. I would love to teach.
- 한 팀에서 같이 생활해보고 싶은 게이머가 있다면 - Which progamer do you want to spend time with? ▲ 음... 정명훈 선수나 김구현 선수정도? 친한 선수 모두하고 생활해보고 싶어요ㅎ ▲ Hmm... Fantasy or Kal? But I like to be with everyone Im close to lol.
Wow I knew Flash and Fantasy were clanmates, but I have never known they were close friends. I guess Flash was angry with Fantasy at gom because he was disappointed he won 2:0.

Other than that it was a great interview.

haha flash is still just a kid that mom answer is so hilarious hahaha
Damn he would like to be a teacher if he wasnt a progamer, and he manages to combine progaming with school, my respect of flash is just endless now. He's very confident but extremely mannered as well, god just everything about him owns.
Reading Boxer's translated book recently, I can't help but make parallels.
I think it will be very hard to dominate Flash. His mind is fixed on the game and he can't even answer interview questions properly . But more to the point it's his "You can't beat me" mentality that he has going on. I think it will definitely help him get far.
You guys can call this little kid arrogant or whatever but you do have to admit he has come far in a short period of time and he has dominated heavily.

Nominated by me. Hes won life already, what are you talking about.

scforall translated it When the interview came out I was translating it and all of a sudden I saw SCforall did it first, so I had to cancel my post
Great interview although I wish Flash would stop repeating "lol" every other question. I also like his next pick, Fantasy. I'm very interested in that terran

exactly what I thought. But what else would you expect from someone who is that good at starcraft?

I never fucking understood these questions.
"UR 16 U HAV 2 LIEK GURLZ OR UR GAY OR A NO LIEF LOZER"
I normally don't reply to replies like these but I have to say it. Maybe, you know JUST MAYBE he likes gaming more than girls right now? When he first debuted he had a girlfriend. I mean maybe he believes winning is a bigger priority then getting some 15-16 year old pussy? Pussy doesn't give you money and fame, wins do. I cannot believe out of all the things people pick to say something about flash you question his sexuality? You could've been like every other TL member and say "HURR HE STILL IS BORING" but you picked out this?
And seriously, criticizing someone's 'life' on an internet forum about korean progamers is fucking retarded.
" It is too much of a burden to hear stuff like this already. I haven't been on the scene for 2 years and I have to win more titles lol. But when I do get to that point, I will surpass the Bonjwa level and be called something greater. "

Couldn't of been upmagic, they came out around the same time. Didn't they?
take it easy bigshot. I didn"t pick on his sexuality, just his lack of social skills. Why would i pick on anything else, I don't even know him, but JUST MAYBE you realize that he didn't not say anythig along the lines of priority, he specifially said that his mum was his type of girl, because he hasn't been on the internet for a while?! That's the epitome of nerdyness right there and I cannot leave such a statement uncommented. Maybe he was joking, maybe he meant to say something else entirely, but unfortunately, I can only comment on what information I have.
And that last line of you made your post completely ridiculous anyways to be honest.

Not really man, no.
I admire Flash, I don't envy him in any imagineable way.
He seems to be handling it quite well imo, that was nice to read. I hope he'll be able to pick up on the holes in his life later on as he grows older. Professionalism with children rarely leaves room for a normal well-rounded life. But he sure has many older people in the same path with him to be able to model or reject them wherever needed in the future.
uhg. I guess this is something that cannot be translated properly in any way unless I sit here and explain how it works. When said in Korean, it sounds very cute like a cat "awww so clueless" moment. I guess its my fault for not being a prof translator -_-.
And my last line of the post is perfectly fine. I don't see anything wrong with it.
Of course he still has time to change, but just as school_victim says, he has amazing talent and seems like a geuinely nice guy, but I can't be the only one to think that he is missing out on a lot. These are the years that are supposed to be the best of your life you know, experiencing stuff and so on. money will become important soon enough... Also, with his determination and intelligence, I highly doubt he will have any financial problems later on, whatever profession he chooses.

Thx lots for the translation.
Who cares ? You read his interview, you're using your ballerpimp "life" on him right now.
I just find it hilarious that some of you are telling him to get a life Since everyone reading a starcraft forum on their spare time is a nerd by default.
it's kinda sad how he says that there are people that hate him. He seems like an easy going nice kid from the interview. I liked that part where he called jaedong his rival but felt bad cause he always loses to him lol.

meh, humans live to do what they love and can do well, regardless of what those things are. In western countries kids his age are probably having sex and partying, and they call this 'living' and to deviate is to suggest some inadequacy. But that's so arbitrary.
i think that sort of thinking brings on so much unhappiness. If you're happy with what you're doing, and then suddenly someone says well you should be doing some other thing because it gives special status, should you really change?
I don't think Flash is missing out on anything that he cares about. He's missing out on a lot of things that YOU care about, but to him it's no big deal.
When he mentioned Fantasy harrassing and creating chaos it came to my mind the game between him and Stork at the finals where Flash went vult drop and then added wraith and tanks. That was amazing!

That was very well put I must say. Maybe I have been too subjective on this, and I have no doubts that he is happy the way he is living right now. I guess I was just a little shocked by those two comments
Hmm I am not that old too. Ok I am almost 18... But his answers were childish sometimes :S Idk if it was fun or he is just a kid :S But I am still a fan of him !!!

So true. I hate these "cool" guys who just spit out crap as soon as they hear something that doesn't fit their own lifestyle. That's just retarded.
Btw Flash is a true baller. He was my favorite before (after Boxer) and he still is!

But this time, I got here first
MWAHAHHAHAHAHAAA
Thx for the translation <3 Flash's play wouldn't have thought fantasy and flash were so close, also nice pick for the next 30Q&30A - especially the question.
I love how everyone takes all interview with progamers so god damn serious. It's like Flash were some static robot who couldn't anwser questions in the way he wants to. I am sure he was not 100% serious about the girl thing, he rather wanted to avoid the question so he said something funny (JUST LIKE ALL FAMOUS PEOPLE DOES). To start arguing if he is a no lifer or not? wow, it's amazing how everyone grows balls on the internet, change your own life and let others be! Go Flash, slay those Protoss nabs.

i think that sort of thinking brings on so much unhappiness. If you're happy with what you're doing, and then suddenly someone says well you should be doing some other thing because it gives special status, should you really change?
I don't think Flash is missing out on anything that he cares about. He's missing out on a lot of things that YOU care about, but to him it's no big deal.

Man, this kid's life is starcraft, he earns a lot of money when he's still 16, and he still attends to the school, so he has no basically free time to date with a girl or do some shit like that and you know, he won already in his life so shut the fuck up.

I can't believe that Much didn't make the 6 dragons (at least over Kal or Jangbi or SOMEBODY). Kind of a bummer, he's awesome.
I thought it was interesting the way Flash described Fantasy "good at creating Chaos". It does describe his style very well and the way he's able to come back and win games.
Stop reading that much into an interview. If you read any earlier interviews of that series you would know that it's just a very chilled chat Q&A.
Besides, flash is still going to school ("so you won starleague? blowjob?") WHILE owning in starcraft and he lived with Reach. What i see is a guy that loves his friends, loves his work and just enjoys being in a competitive enviroment. Great kid with a heart of a true warrior.

I guess it's because Much is "too old". Kinda like Anytime and Pusan. Also he hasnt been that great in the 2nd half of 2008.
This interview makes me love Flash even more, he seems pretty dam arrogant though. However, i wonder how good a teacher he will become if all he does in school is sleep XD.
yea the reason there are so many 'lol' or 'keke" is because the interview has been done online. "ㅎㅎ" is more like smily expression than "lol". When asked their fav girl type, Koreans usually refer to attractive female singers or actresses. And only way progamers can learn about them out of their 12 hr training per day, is through checking photos& interviews of them on internet. This is why Flash said he can't answer because he hasn't been on the net checking them out. hope this answers some of your complains. gj mrhoon for translating.
haven't been on the scene for 2 years and I have to win more titles lol. But when I do get to that point, I will surpass the Bonjwa level and be called something greater.
This made me lol then grin evilly go flash! He's so awesome, can't wait until He gets a chance to play against Boxer and a bit of the Emperor rubs off on him

I don't think Flash is missing out on anything that he cares about. He's missing out on a lot of things that YOU care about, but to him it's no big deal.
And about the amount of lol's, I also think they're due to the interview being conducted online and he's getting one question at a time. I'm 19, and if a lol is equivalent to =D or =P (which I use SO MUCH when chatting unless I really try not to). I can totally understand how there are so many of them. =P
(the above =P was on purpose =P)
Also, great interview, lot's of fun & interesting answers. Thanks for the translation! While I sometimes get bored of Flash's macro play he's no doubt one of my absolutely favorite terrans. (bring back more of the cheddar kid style flash, it's awesome!)

Huh?
Maybe it was lost in translation, I dunno though because I don't speak korean. But yeah, it does seem really odd.
Other than that it was a great interview.
yes this is translated wrong.....he is actually saying: a girl who looks as beautiful as my mum.
anyway, good interview. flash still thinks like a kid and uses very simple logic (eat-->give strength--> keep gaming), adults would care too much of what people think to give honest straight answers like these.

I thought it was upmagic. I think i read that somewhere cant remember where though.
wut
한동욱 = Casy and I'm pretty sure Flash started playing when Up just started getting famous.
and for the girl question wonder girls, snsd or racing models are your get out of jail card.

obviously he meant "a girl like my mom" which is a completely normal answer, just use common sense people. nice interview, clearly conducted over the internet (the lols?)

gg_hertzz already covered it pretty well, but sure he may "miss out" on some typical teenage things, but just about every celebrity, pseudo-celebrity, or child prodigy at anything has the same issues. it's simply a trade off, do you think he'd have more fun being normal than he does on a proteam, as the #1 terran in progaming? i doubt it. you can't really do both, and i'm sure flash has plenty of fun with KTF and being kind of a famous guy in school. i suspect he doesn't reveal everything about his social life also.
i mean, if he were to never do progaming and be just an average school teacher or whatever, don't you think that's 1000x more regret and missing out on what could have been? that's like saying "oh federer, you missed out on a lot as a teenager right because you had to practice and travel to so many tournaments!" it's ridiculous and obviously if you're the best at whatever you do and can earn a great living at it, that's probably the right choice. you're not missing out on anything, you are just choosing to experience something better.
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.

Great post, you just made every Flash hater in this thread look like a total idiot :D.
Because how would anybody of you call a person who: 1) read an interview translated by nonprofessional translator 2) has apparently no idea about cultural and social background in Korea except that they play Stacraft there a lot 3) and then picks some small stuff from that interview and spit insults on the interviewed person?
That really requires a lot of hate or some brain issues. Preferably both.
Anyway, great interview, Thanks MrHoon! But I don't think Flash is so overconfident or arrogant like some of you imply. It seems to me that he is half-joking the whole time (the "lol", or should I say "smilies" for the slower among us). The answer about rivalry shows it best, he is easily able to make fun of himself, which is not a trait of an arrogant person.
And seriously - I think AloneInDaBunker's post should be included in the OP post, it clears a lot of things up.
seriously.. how could you hate this guy? This young and he pwns it up with such confidence. I can definitely see him becoming a bonjwa or something greater.

This isn't meant to be a hit towards Flash, but it seems arrogant to me. Then again, many progamers are arrogant, which is probably how they maintain their mental strength when playing big games.

arrogant 1. making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights; overbearingly assuming; insolently proud
he said when he wins more titles, he will surpass the bonjwa level and be called something greater
yes maybe that's a bit high goals, but he even said "i have to win more titles" and "i'm not the bonjwa right now". i'd say that's a pretty realistic assessment and isn't "overly proud", especially considering he's the #1 terran right now and holds an OSL title. arrogance is when the person misjudges his own ability / importance, and i think flash is pretty accurate in his self-assessment.
This kid is intelligent and very skilled. There's a reason Flash has always been my favorite player and remains so. There's a reason boxer said he'll succeed.
Another thing is that Flash has the balls to be a disliked player in his playstyle. First the Cheese Terran and now the "boring" Macro Terran. But he plays to win and doesn't give a flying fuck whether you think that his style boring or gay. And I greatly respect that.
Also: on the subject of arrogance: If you look at top players of very many competitive activities, most of them are arrogant. To play a game with the intent of "I want to be better than everyone else" requires at least a small degree of arrogance of "I am/can be better than everyone else". A lot of times they're also driven by this self-view of "i'm better, why can't I beat them easily, then?" so they practice a lot. This isn't just true of starcraft.

For this, you could add: It was hard long ago but now there are 2 other people who are the same age as me. I don't think there are anything bad about it, but I guess there aren't anything good about it either.
Just a suggestion Btw, thank you for the interview!

LOL CARRY BIGGEST LOAD LOL WTF?
Flash shall now be known as the "Biggest load terran"
Nice interview.. Thanks for the translation. About the question with Flash's girl type. I think many people here just misunderstand Flash. I dont think it is strange for a teenager (especially asian) to model his girl type to be like his mother. If we (asian peolple) have a great mum, we often model her to be the pecfect women(not sexuality), I many of us want our gf at least have something in common with our mom. I have the same thought when I was at Flash'age young too(I am 24 now) For some people making fun of Flash because he is interesting in Starcraft much more on girls. I think you re just retarded. It is his JOB, he get paid nicely even adults years older than him can not. So it is totally ok for him to devote all his time to what paid him than with the girl, at least until hes a little bit older. When I was in College I studied with many Koreans, At first I was surprise that many of them didnt get laid or even have a girl friends at age 19~23. But when they do have a gf, I m telling you they are like fucking' glued with each other. I think thats just the way the Korean do it. Deal with that and dont flame something or someone you dont fully understand

LOL hahaha that is it wrong that when I first saw this question I thought of it as a sexual question? + Show Spoiler +

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.
On December 30 2008 04:58 AloneInDaBunker wrote: yea the reason there are so many 'lol' or 'keke" is because the interview has been done online. "ㅎㅎ" is more like smily expression than "lol". When asked their fav girl type, Koreans usually refer to attractive female singers or actresses. And only way progamers can learn about them out of their 12 hr training per day, is through checking photos& interviews of them on internet. This is why Flash said he can't answer because he hasn't been on the net checking them out. hope this answers some of your complains. gj mrhoon for translating.
It's almost 6 in the morning and I don't feel like reading all 7 pages of this thread, but usually when progamers are being interviewed and are asked about their type of girl, they ALWAYS post web links to Korean celebrities they think are attractive. The first part of Flash's answer is basically saying "Well, I haven't used the internet in a while, so I don't know which celebs are getting the most attention right now". Remember that the internet is much more mainstream and used for a lot more different purposes than in virtually any other country.
The "eating helps thing" - I think that most Asian cultures (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) are much, much more food-oriented than most Western cultures. When progamers win something big, all they talk about is how they're going to buy their team a meal. When asked by their team mates about how they'd like their winner to use the money, they always say "I hope he buys us something good to eat" and very rarely do they say anything else. So, when Flash says that eating well helps his condition, it doesn't seem so strange when you realize this part of his culture.
The "lol" issue - The ㅎㅎ and ㅋㅋㅋㅋ are different in that the first one is supposed to be more of a "ho ho ho/hoo hoo hoo" type of laugh. The other one is supposed to be more of a "kekeke" kind of snicker. I supposed the closest way to translate the first one would indeed be 'lol'. Personally, if something like a few LOLs is all it takes to turn you off to an interview with fucking FLASH, then I don't think you belong in this forum.

Seriously. Why can't people give him a break. He is still just a kid and had to live with all that hatred directed at him. It would be hard for anyone and definitely must have been very hard for 16 years old kid. I wonder how many of those haters would break after such a pressure as Flash was.
Go to hell Flash-haters!
And I still can't understand sth. From all top progamers it seems like Flash has the largest amount of haters. Can someone explain me why is that?

KizZBG is right, I used to think Flash was the only one being hated on but for every good progamer who came onto the scene people always criticized them.
When iloveoov first busted into the scene believe it or not majority of the people said "he is boring, I rather watch nada/boxer okay? Hes gay." Now look how many people think about iloveoov, the guy is a fucking legend. When Boxer beat Giyom 3:0 and started rising up the korean communities started saying "cheesy and BM terran, you got lucky." Nobody liked Boxer too except a small amount of people at that time. Same thing applies for Savior. So many people hated savior because he kept kicking off everyone else's favorite players hence the reason why he was marked as the villain. Jaedong wasn't really liked at first too. Zerg fans were angry that 'this' guy was suppose to be their replacement as the new Zerg Leader.
It seems like there are alot of new flash haters because, well there are alot more TL members. Sure there are some stupid reasons to hate flash like "durr he laughs too much" but there has always been a fair share of haters for each player.
edit: Also if you want to be cool you have to hate on flash or nobody will hang out with you.

seriously though, the flash haters (mostly in the first half of this thread) got owned real hard by the 2nd half replies.

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

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.

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.
