Great read, I agree with all his issues on SC2 (mutas, sound, etc) and hope he becomes a top player!

And that progamers barely make any money at all?

And only get to work for an average of like 18 months? After training at home for no pay for years to get good enough? To work 18 months in a crowded barracks shitting in a dirty toilet for almost no money?

Yes, I'm sure he does know all that.

Pop Idols have the same working conditions. Yet that doesn't stop them, does it?

What the fuck are you talking about. Pop idols make way more money and dont live in such shitty conditions.

It's about the love of the game and compteition. Progamers have few material needs.

Zenio: [...] with the Starcraft II Beta coming out and all, I told her we should break up.

Zenio: [...] the little kid in the family, wasting all of his time on video games, how that would break his parent’s hearts. I’m so sorry to them, so terribly sorry. I really want to succeed at Starcraft II so I can make my parents happy.

This is the reason why foreigners will never compare to koreans.

also, OMFG GARIMTO O_O :D

The translation is fairly accurate, however there are missing lines from the interview and some translation errors.

For example, when asked about the five hatcheries, his response seemed more like four than 'Yup'.

I believe he also mentioned it was a second expansion, and slightly further elaborated on the build.


Thanks for the notice, I managed to miss that one question/answer, edited it in.

Also, I think you're confusing 네 for four instead of yes.

sorry, but this noob (yea i went there) lost all credability with

Zenio: Protoss doesn’t have anything to stop mutalisks with. I play thinking that if I can just survive the best I can with sunken colonies and zerglings, I’ll win when I get to mutas.


5 pheonix kill 10 mutalisks with 3 pheonix left over. I could understand if he said something like "Protoss doesn't have anything against early roach pressure followed by a quick switch to mutas..." but mutas are far from an unbeatable threat especially with the stargate being a pretty solid option with warp ray harass.

GREAT read, thank you for the translation, and i could not AGREE MORE about zerg unit sounds (the only time i know when a unit is ready, or a building is done is the spire/mutalisk because it has this annoying screech which at first i hated from the orig sound, but now i like it, because its the only fucking one that stands out)

and desert oasis. okay, 2 entrances to my natural, fine. but i can't protect the ramp to my main either ? come on...
