i still find this bizarre. My parents chose to have children, I didn't choose to be born. What i earn is mine, what they earn is theirs. I thank my parents by doing well in life and their reward was getting to see me and my bro grow up in to adults and take on the world in our own way.

MK is a funny guy, great interview.

totally agree with you:
+ you need that money to raise your own children.
Seems not reasonable to me to pay my parents for raising me, well if was a millionaire ofc i'd give my parents a lot of money. But not if they have enough and I don't have too much...

As many people have already stated, it is a form of showing respect to parents for their hardship (giving birth is viewed as the riskiest and most painful thing in Asia) of bringing up children and also a good way to save up the money for the future. Normally, parents would not use the money children gave to them, but rather save them when their children need them the most (marriage, emergency situations, for grandchildren, etc). You can see it as deposit money with the bank, or investor who have experience. And when parents pass away, children inherit those money so their is no loss.
I think it's the same why many (maybe mostly) Eastern people don't understand Western people's style of upbringing. In a more traditional/conservative family, parents expect children to live the path they think it's the best, which most children (at least from people I knew) respect parents' opinions and feel that they have oblige to what parents want. Many people (including kids) view that growing in Western style is not respectful to parents.

Wow. I really respect him more after this interview, I knew very little about him previously apart from his notorious one-dimensionality. Nice guy, wish him the best.
|
This guy is so hard to dislike. In gsl 2 I loved the guy, but after I couldn't help but feel he was one big gimmick. Especially in gsl 3. Then the kid comes in gsl 4 and I don't feel like I'm watching a one trick pony, the kid is really good. He is also so likable. I hope he does well.

Its amazing how much I've grown to love this guy. When I first saw the roster for GSL2 I was like "Ha, fucking poser may as well be named Legolaz and be playing WoW", but then I just got sucked into all his silly marine only antics and nearly wet myself as this guy that I perceived to just be a joke went on to the semis.
I love the fact that he's always wearing his silly pink hoodie and looks like he's 16, and doesn't take any interviews seriously. How can anyone not love this guy?

Like he said it's the asian culture
I don't think his parents demand the money you earn but he himself chose that decision
I'm saying this coz I'm asian and I also give my job salary to my parents but they don't use it anyways. It's pretty much just managing your money to be use for the future and and not in useless stuff. I have my own credit card but my parents pay for it and doesn't use the cash i gave that been put in my savings. Asians are just known to be strict and raise their child very well (I'm not saying that americans or others don't raise their child well). It's just that asian parents don't let their child be independent as long as they can. When i went to college, my parents are even considering moving to the city I'm attending college to LOL

No interest in becoming the MarauderKing?
If I got interested on other units, marines would be jealous.
Why am I not able to control marines like you do?
My micro was not good from the beginning. I got my know-how after slaughtering many, many marines. Practice is the only answer. ^^
Awesome interview :D He's totally won my fanboyism, even though I got stressed with him in GSL 2 
The questions were all pretty great too, excited for the FD interview!

Slightly off-topic question, but has he customized his keyboard himself (the black/white keys) or is it a specific type of keyboard?
Otherwise I think it was a great interview/translation. He just seems like such a humble person with zero ego.

great interview, thanks

As to the keyboard, I believe it is an Owltech (You can confirm this on google images). You can probably get one here if you read japanese. As far as MKP goes I wouldnt belittle him by saying he has no ego - my bet is this kid knew he was sick good well before we were calling him a one-trick noobie.

I don't know about Asian culture vs non-Asian culture, but I do know that some families have care more about whose money is whose, and treat it as if they were just friends. That is to say, you'd lend money to a friend, but you'd expect to be paid back and vice versa, and you wouldn't just give him thousands of dollars that you made.
On the other hand, some families just keep all their money together. If you need money for something, you ask your parents and they give it to you. If you get thousands of dollars, you give it to your parents to hang on to. I'm sure most parents in this situation would respect the fact that the child earned the money and wouldn't actually spend any of it. It's not bizarre, it's just how some families do things.

We're talking about a _VERY_ performance based income here, one that will be rather variable.
If the parents are paying for his living expenses in some periods then it would be natural to consider repaying some of it depending on their financial situation.

Ending the game with SCVs and marines isnt a show of skill. Its what people do to hide their lack of skill.
If you were a progamer who practiced the ins and outs of the game everyday and were actually good, why would you want to play like that? The point of playing standard macro games is that you are given more opportunities to outplay your opponent.
It is a show of skill. I know Artosis and Day[9] like to extend leads instead of going for a kill, and of course Korean progamers understand the concept. I've never seen Foxer all-in blindly - he actually usually prepares for a macro game and expands behind his attacks. It's just that his attacks tend to kill people.

Foxer does outplay his opponents. I don't get what you're trying to say here. His opponent can't hold off Foxer's attack - therefore, Foxer is worse than his opponent? The best player is the one with the best macro?

Why do you think people would prefer to throw marines and scvs at Idra rather outplay and make better decisions than him? Because theyre worse than him and they know it. Jinro plays standard because Jinro doesnt need to rely on 5 minute gimmicks to beat Idra.
I'm pretty sure if you choose to attack and it kills your opponent, that counts as a good decision.

Using that same logic they could of just dumped your ass on the curb after having you and let you fend for yourself after giving you life. Since everything your parents earn is theirs they have no reason to share it with you to feed, clothe, put a roof over you all those years. Amirite? Terrible logic. People share with the people they care about. Parents care for their children and children should care for their parents. Its really not all that fuckin bizarre.

lmao what a totally selfish view of how things work. Your parents spend 2 decades raising you and their reward is to "see you grow up." Notice how it's all about you and you never spend a second thinking about the two decades of work, time, money and effort was spent by other people. Of course parents don't expect to be paid back any of it, but it would be a pious and good thing to do.
Having children most of the time is not exactly a choice. It's biological programming. Once parents get older, they'll need the children to take care of them. With your point of view, your kids will be sticking you into a retirement home while they spend money on parties.
Again it is about family cohesion and close community, not "all I care about is myself."

Its funny because I think the same thing in reverse. I dont want kids because what i earn is mine and I don't want to spend 10s-100s of thousands of dollars on something that I dont even know that ill enjoy. Hell I barely want to spend 40 dollars on a game if there may be questionable enjoyment out of it. I mean realistically in American culture, your kid will be cool and loving for like 13 years....then the next 10 or so s/he will just be a dick to you while still expecting you to pay for food/clothing/housing/education.
