Wow, sick interview. JD's whole personality coupled with his amazing play and resilience makes me really hope that he wins this OSL and gets what he deserves.



this. somehow i really really liked this whole interview. his determination and dedication is fucking impressive. if there is one player who really "lives being a progamer" instead of just taking it as his "job", its jaedong. i despise zerg and i dont like oz as a team... i have been pretty much neutral on jd as a personality so far, but this interview has changed my mind a bit... he deserves the golden mouse, if not for his impeccable skill and stunning endurance under an overloaded schedule, then he deserves it for sacrificing so much and working so hard for his goals.

he deserves the golden mouse and i have no doubt that he´s gonna take it. the osl final is the only thing to prepare for him now... and with enough preparation and no other events disturbing him, there is no way in the world that jd could lose a zvz bo5.

Incredible interview. Thanks for the translation!

Jaedong better prepare hard for this. I think EVERYONE besides Jaedong's teammates and close friends/players will be helping Yarnc practice instead of JD. I mean, think about it from a progamer's perspective. Would you rather have Yarnc win an OSL or JD win a golden mouse?

WOW, Jaedong is so awesome. I really like his answers to the questions, he's a very honest person.

Now I feel bad saying Oz is a one man team D:

Wow this interview whows how humble and good a guy JD is. He always defends his teammates. Even when he just won an osl semifinals, he uses the interview to defend them.

Also
Even in the first game, I won simply because he made a mistake, not because I played well.

He said about the calm games. I mean, he admits he only was lucky in that game. Man this guy is not even 20 and yet he is acting like he has been a true veteran champion.

Ever since I actually got some criticism, I've been trying to double check everything for accuracy and grammar.

It was cool how Jaedong talked about his teammates, about how they didn't go on vacation and helped him practice.

Great work GhostWriter! Thanks a lot for that interview.

I'm glad JD is remaining analytical and open about his performance and the reasons surrounding it.

"Finally, I want to thank those players who stayed to help me practice (rather than going on vacation): ggaemo, killer, Hiya and Lomo. I would also like to thank the players on other teams that helped me practice."

... but info who he practiced from other teams is much more interesting. Name them! arggg

Sorry, he didn't name anyone specific from other teams. However, from what I recall from other interviews, progamers say that even if they get help from members of other teams, it's rarely more than a few games. If they mention their names at all, it's just to be polite rather than to really thank them.
