Crazy good interview, I think the brutal honesty in their answers is refreshing. Outside of all the gaming Stardom is some harsh realities. Also, thanks a lot for your translating services MrHoon. We owe you!

Koreans count the day they're born as being one year old. Therefore, he's 29.

Koreans count the day they're born as being one year old. Therefore, he's 29.

In addition to this, you're a year older at the beginning of a new year, rather than being a year older at your birthday.

Example:

Birthday: March 3rd, 1990
United states age: 18
Korean age: 1 (the count starts at 1) + 18 + 1 (even though it's not your birthday yet, it's new year 2009) = 20

The problem is mrhoon might have already translated most of it, and it'd be a waste to do it twice.

Thanks Mr.Hoon for the translation! It was really epic. These materials are really things you can't find except in forums and due to your massive personal efforts.

I think it was really interesting how they both view success as requiring total sacrifice. I think, from talking with my Korean friends in Korea, that's very common. I think that it really dispels the idea that progamers just play video games all day and it's fun. It really is a huge amount of discipline and effort to get to this level. I remember hearing Daniel Lee say that this is why Guillaume Patry (Grrrr...) didn't get even better or stay good; he didn't have the discipline to practice enough.

But in the U.S. most pro athletes or even our best scientists, etc. don't have the single-minded devotion and focus to their chosen passion, and yet seem to achieve great results. I wonder if it's just a cultural difference that is psychological (people think that they cannot succeed unless they are utterly devoted).

kinda funny that the best players in the world have a revelation about what it means to be a professional player and to dedicate your life to something, when they've already been a "professional" for so many years. korean e-sports has a LONG way to go, and perhaps may never achieve, the level of professional attitude of a league like NBA or NFL, or even that of many collegiate athletic programs in the USA.

korean progamers are less professional than nba players?

i find that extremely hard to believe. korean pros practice what, 10-12 hours per day?

they practice to get to the top. once they reach it, they don't have any more determination or drive. what else do they have to prove?
