very good read, thank you for translating this. I always like to read these more relaxed interviews with the older players, those who doesnt feel they have to answer the right thing like the younger players. You feel like you get to know them alot better!

Well, for instance... I tend to pass gas a lot. So when someone farts, even if it's not me, everyone assumes I'm the culprit anyway.

ultimate proof that zerg is gas heavy ;D

At the moment, I felt truly unspeakable pain and sadness envelop my entire body. Maybe Best felt the same way when he lost to me?

Words of a manly man.

Thanks for the translation!

Thank you very much for translating the interview. I don't know a thing about korean, but the translation seems very well transposed to english; no strange, almost verbatim-asian translations, it makes the speaker sound more intelligent.

Also, with these old-timer interviews, I like the way they move beyond the "Thank xxx-hyun, my parents and fans, I'll try my best litany". The Lim Yohwan/Ma Jaeyoon interview some time ago was quite interesting as well, it sometimes seems they have to overcome an initial inherent shyness to speak out on what they really think, about the game and everything around it. At times I wonder though, why these players are willing to divulge so many details (passing gas?) about themselves that don't shine up their image a lot. In this age of press training and spokespeople, it is quite refreshing.

Looking forward to the next interview

Half of this interview has already been posted somehwere, I swear. I know for a fact I've read the "July about other Zerg progamers" section because before I read fake yellow's bit I thought to myself "he praised his ZvT and said he'll teach him ZvP"

Most Korean interviews tend to be heavily edited and formated to begin with, so I have no idea what the original tone was. Thus translator's freedom to embellish :O

Oh wow, great interview. July's a very cool guy.

I really agree that Zerg's an unstable race. The main reason I don't like playing it is because it relies too much on the defiler in the late game. I don't like having to rely on one slow frail unit like that. And this reliance on the defiler definitely classifies as an unstable trait the race has in my opinion.

But Zerg progamers are my favorite progamers. Jaedong, Savior, July, Yellow... So many good men (don't want to call them boys). It feels like Zerg attracts players with very attractive personalities. No clue why.
