Depending on the liberties taken you have to call it a "translation" then. If Stork would phrase things the way it was "translated" here, I would lose all my respect for him.

Looks like you're getting criticisms for taking liberties to make the smacktalk more hyped, but I understand. During interviews, I have to resist the crazy urge to make those boring players sound more interesting and cocky; only Flash really seems truly cocky (in a good way) in his interviews. I guess some people don't like the way you added your own touch because it doesn't look "professional", but hey, when you're the translator, you get to twist the words into whatever you want. ;P I'd say that tweaking a few words here and there in this context is okay, since it's smacktalk, after all.

Anyway, I'll be cheering for both players, and disappointed with whoever loses. And looks like Fantasy got a hold of Flash first, ahahahah that Jung Laden has fast reflexes, yes! Thanks for the translation! (Much thanks to you too, infinitestory.)

IMHO translations ought to be done professionally. It kinda ruins it when there's skewing, especially if it's only one side of the translations being done that way. And if a translator feels like getting creative then the translation should go in Blogs.

Other than that, thanks, I still appreciate it

My opinion is that since this is a smacktalk interview to bring up more hype for the finals, then skewing the translation in a fanboy's point of view is alright here in this context. HOWEVER, such fanboyism skewing should not be done in any other case, of course. I'm sure that we won't see more translations like this in the future, so I don't really think that baubo should be getting chewed out more. I think that it's a fresh breath of air from the usual "blah blah blah I know that my opponent is very good and I will work hard to win and defeat them cleanly" bland statements. Baubo maaay regret his decision a little, but hey, it was his decision, and since he's a dedicated Stork fanboy, that was simply his choice to spice things up. I for one, approve of healthy hype, and this seems like a decent amount to make everyone's blood boiling, whether it's in a good or bad way.

Maybe someone should tweak Fantasy's interview so that things will be even...

Has anyone else noticed how Coach Park didn't even mention any of the other players?

"Yeah, FanTaSy keeps this team together despite how Bisu just got 2 AK's and a ton of kills. Nothing big."

Ah well, I suppose that it's only natural to build up your OSL finals player, right? Look at Jan, she might have a point about saying that Stork's the one who glues his team together but in reality there are some decent players (JangBi) but their current record isn't that decent right now.

Oh nice, coach interviews added. Have to disagree with coach Park on the tvp issue though, since feb 24th last year flash is 29-6 vP with losses only to snow, free, kal, and best. On the other hand, fantasy has lost to movie, violet, tyson, and jaehoon just in the last 2 months. Still, I think both players have a good chance at winning and I'm looking forward to the finals!

The Kong line is made up of people who get to OSL/MSL finals but lose, it's named after Yellow (Hong Jin Ho) who famously went 0-5 in finals. Stork lost in so many finals that he's still in it despite winning one, and fantasy also has been to multiple finals but never won.

Flash said in an interview after the semifinals that if Stork contacted him first, he'd practice with him, but if Fantasy contacted him first, he wouldn't practice with Stork. So I guess Fanta called 1st.

I'm actually rooting for stork in this one. First time... would only happen when the stars align and the earth shakes, I would root for any player that has the chance to stop Fantasy from taking a gold.

I will probably get ninja'd, but I will enlighten you!

Kong Line: First, you have to know who this infamous "Kong" is. "Kong" is the nickname of Hong Jinho, aka Yellow who is on the team KT Rolster and recently got discharged from the air force (he also played on the team Air Force ACE). "Kong" in Korean means "bean", which rhymes with Yellow's last name, Hong, and Yellow's height... is not exactly the tallest, which is why people have dubbed him "Kong", and poking fun at his small bean-like height.

But what is this so-called "Kong Line"? Yellow is infamous for always getting to the finals and getting silver medals; he has a whole bunch of 2nd place titles. That's why his fans call him the "King of Silver" or the "Silver Surfer". Whenever another player starts to rack up a lot of silvers, people then say that they are officially a member of the "Kong Line", or "Silver Surfer Club". So far the members of the Kong Line are Yellow as the leader and founder of the club, Stork, Fantasy, and I'd count Jangbi as well, even though some people say that he doesn't have enough silvers. It is definitely not a good thing to be a member in the Kong Line, so the finals may decide who breaks out of it.

Hope you get even more into BW after learning this interesting tidbit of info; BW has a lot more fun trivia like this!

In fact, go look up the "Kong Dance" on Youtube right now. It is mandatory for all Starcraft fans out there.

Fantasy = a slightly closed mouth of Hiya. Same results, Stork will smash him.

Park: Fantasy TvP best in the entire world
T/N: Yes, he did just troll all Flash fans on TL.net! LOLOLOLOL!!!

that's does it, Park YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD!!! DEAD I SAY!!! SKT1 has now dropped to my hate list. Yep, even lower than Jaedong Oz. w.e. just makes me even want Stork to 3-0 this loser even more. SONG BYUNG GOO HWAITING!!!
