Thanks for the translation. I'm not really an STX fan, but I like Kal, he looks like a friendly guy.

This guy is a pimp. I always believed in you Goojila, and I know you have what it takes to be #1 in the individuals. It's just a matter of time!
Just a guy trying to enjoy living in the worst timeline and failing miserably since 1990.

Best interview I've ever read, thanks for the translation!
This interview made me realize how Kal actually enjoys being a progamer, unlike some who always complain about practice. He never won a gold medal, but he's still able to enjoy his career.

Actually, is there any other progamer that has such a happy face after winning a match? 'cause I just can't think of one.

Saying stuff like this makes me love Kal even more. He doesn't want a win a Starleague, he wants to win a Starleague walking over TBLS's bloodied corpses!!

Slow bread is just bread made without much yeast and given time for it to properly ferment and rise.

Shit, Kal's from Daegu? How did I not pick up on it while I was talking to him at WCG? He must have lost all his dialect from staying in Seoul for so long... >_< Well, all the more reason to support him: Daegu represent!!

Phenomenal translation, OP, and very well appreciate the effort; I know these long interviews take a huge chunk of your time to translate.

Are there any Kal antifans? He seems very hard to dislike.

I suppose part of that is he generally can't beat any of the really popular players, so there isn't much reason to hold a grudge against him for knocking their favorite players out. Still, he's a pretty cool guy/player everybody can appreciate.


I used to dislike him for no real reason but now I find it impossible. He's always so cheerful and down to earth.

Wow, another long translation from you! Great work! You've been on a roll lately! :D

This interview made me like Kal even more; I have no idea why I had this strange dislike for him before, but that's long gone now. He seems like a really warm, positive guy, and I can totally imagine him smiling a lot and having twinkly eyes 'n' all during the interview. Now that he's finally gotten out of his slump, I hope that he performs even better after Lunar New Year's holidays are over!

Oh man I'm going to be un-fucking-believably happy if Kal manages to take a gold this year; he deserves it.

With that said, KAL FIGHTING!

and tyty for translation, I'm sure this took a while <3

Nice, Protoss of the year. Beating out resurgent Bisu and Stork. Good that he survived his trip to WCG!
