This was a beautiful interview, Savior seems to be doing okay, he will always be remembered as a top player, even if he withers out his last days, rofl at Skyhigh's insolence.

this interview was very depressing

yeah, i was kinda saddened after reading through some parts of it. Like how savior said he would have retired now if CJ had won PL when he was in his prime, and how he didn't want to do this interview since he wasn't doing well and also how he's dealing with some personal issues at this moment. T_T ma bonjwa, never retire!

Ok, this seals it - zerg is the hardest race. He has a lot to say about t>z and personal issues, always mentions the past. It seems he's such an unhappy person as of now.

I love these interviews, thanks a lot for translating them. BTW, the part about Savior's nicknames reminded me of this thread MrHoon made a while back, check it out if you didn't see it then.

Even though I was somewhat depressed by this interview I think it's quality

Thanks for the translation

I thought he was the one that modernized today's ZvP 5 hatch/"sauron" play, or at least popularized it.

July is the original 'sauron zerg', though he built off of Savior. He still has ZvP rivaling Jaedong's, I think.

Honestly, I don't think there are many (if any more) chances to pull off a paradigm shift. The metagame's all but perfected, and SC2 is coming out very soon. I'm a little scared for the progamers' futures - especially up-and-coming rookies.

No, Julyzerg did it first. He was doing mass hydra builds even before his series with BeSt in Ever OSL 2008. Jaedong isn't a paradigm changer.

Err, mass hydra doesn't equal Neo-Sauron which Jaedong standardized ZvP.

This interview was amazing and enlightening. Also, kind of sad. :/

Ha! Now CJ fans have to make a choice between Savior playing starcraft or CJ winning the proleague.

Also, I disagree with the distinction between management zergs and aggressive zergs, especially in the case of Jaedong. Jaedong has better macro than anybody right now, and has shown that he is a master of the managment style. Hell, even July won a management game against Best in that epic OSL final.

Honestly though, great interview. Thanks Waxangel
