We have casters. We have analyzers. You are a translator and interviewer. Ask questions and translate the answers.
Actually the whole translating her own questions is quite awkward. I'd rather have someone else ask the questions and she just translates. Smix's questions are so good. She doesn't pretend to know more about the game than she does, never asks stupid overly in-depth gameplay questions and makes an effort to know a lot about how the players are really feeling and their interactions with one another. I'm always surprised by how much Smix hate is around, it just seems so unreasonable whenever I see it. Other than the odd tripping over words, that everybody does at times, she always does a great job. To be honest we are lucky to have such a passionate and knowledgeable person as Smix there to provide great quality interviews, can't imagine how anyone could bash on her.
Being fluent in Korean and English may be cool, but it's certainly not unique to her. I fail to believe she is the only person we could find to do this job. That's why I wouldn't use the word "lucky" at all.
As I said, I'd rather just have her translate and let someone else ask the questions. In interviews we want to know what the views of the person being interviewed is, not what the views of the interviewer is.

He's good at that, but it's a very slow process.
Creator plays like he's Roland from the Dark Tower series.

Oh so it's a bo3? I kinda like it, so it doesn't take away too much attention from the final.
