This interview is made by playxp. This is my first time translating. Thought I might do some work for TL since there's 2'n half hours until today's matches.
Playxp: You saved ur team from big deficit. How does it feel with 4 kills?
July: When i heard oGsMC was up first, i thought he would do all kill eventhought our team was losing 2:4. Thought this would be an easy win, but unfortunately he lost after only 1 kill. I was surprised, but I had confidence in myself. I did not expect to do 4 kills though. I think i was lucky.
Playxp: You said previously your style of play will be strong against foreign players
July: I do not think there are player of my style. Since the SC:BW i was always confident against foreign players and I have not lost.
Playxp: Was your strategies planned ahead of time?
July: No, they were reactions to opponents strats. I wanted to show entertaining games, but i don't think they were all that entertaining. I did not want to lose. Eventhough 'fun games' are important, I thought winning was more important. So, i played seriously. I considered winning is 'fun' to watch.
Playxp: Which opponent was most difficult?
July: First match against White-Ra. The settings were not perfect. Even though i had enough time to prepare, it was my mistake. Last match was disappointing (against Dimaga) I believe i lost the last battle, because i lost my composure.
Playxp: No other players in Korean Team were able to make multiple kills:
July: I think because it was a showmatch; however, I thought they would win. Foreigners were not push overs. 'They are really different and play extremely well.' Those are the thought that came into my head. Starting tomorrow Koreans will show focused and serious games. I do not believe Koreans showed 100% of their games yesterday and today. Only i showed 100%. I also believe foreigners did not show 100% of their talent as well.
Playxp: Did you ask for any advice from ST_Ace and ST_Squirtle who attended IEM 5?
July: I did not ask for advice because i did not fear foreign players. I just wanted to face them.
Playxp: What were your thoughts after watching foreign players play?
July: I had a strong impression on MVP vs Dimaga match. Also against Nestea. I felt Dimaga is a strong player. I felt he played better in the last match, than against me. Dimaga felt like he is a player who gets better as he plays. I also felt TT1 played very well. Over all similar, but different apporach to the game. (shit... sorry i do not know if this is a correct translation).
Playxp: What do you think of foreign players' unorthodox style?
July: I do not think there's a much difference in terran and protoss. I think zerg is different though. People say terrand and protoss play style differ, but i do not see it to be in big extend. Just different in facing zerg.
Playxp: What do you think of tomorrow's matches?
July: Yesterday i wanted to go to sleep after practicing on the maps, but maps of the matches have not been announced. I hope they get announced soon. I hope in the future maps are announced ahead of time. I will be facing Nada tomorrow, so I was debating if I should show my strategies today. Anyway, I was out there as a representive of Korean players, so i played full strength. It was actually a good way to get ready for tomorrow. I will practice hard and win tomorrow.
Playxp: Any last words?
July: All the Korean players did a good job and looked good out there. I hope there are more of this kind of tournament in the future. I hope there's alot more exchange in strategies with foreign players. After playing with foreign players, I felt they are all nice players. I wish to play in foreign country in the future. Today has a been a great day and will be remembered as good memory.
Actual Interview: + Show Spoiler +
▼ 위기의 상황에서 팀을 구해냈다. 4킬을 기록한 소감은? - 장민철 선수가 오늘 선봉이라고 들었을 때 2:4로 지고 있어도 당연히 올킬을 할 거라고 생각했다. 쉽게 이길 줄 알았는데, 예상치 못하게 1킬을 하고 패하는 바람에 출전하게 됐다. 조금 당황했지만 그래도 자신은 있었다. 4킬까지 할 줄은 몰랐다. 운이 좋았던 것 같다.
▼ 본인의 스타일이 해외 선수들에게 먹히는 스타일이라고 했는데? - 나 같은 사람이 없기 때문이라고 생각했다. 스타크래프트1 때부터 해외 선수들 상대론 자신감이 넘쳤다. 져본 적도 없고.
▼ 오늘 전략들은 준비해온 것인가? - 전부다 즉흥적으로 한 것이다. 재밌는 걸 보여드리고 싶었는데 그렇게 재밌진 않았던 것 같다. 지면 안 되기 때문에, 재미도 중요하지만 이기는 게 더 중요해서 진지하게 했다. ‘이기는 게 재밌는 것’이라고 생각했다.
▼ 어떤 선수를 상대할 때 가장 힘들었나? - White-Ra와 붙었던 첫 세트. 셋팅을 완벽히 하지 못했다. 시간은 충분했는데 내 실수였다. 마지막 경기는 좀 아쉬웠다. 마지막 싸움에서 조금 더 침착하지 못했던 게 패인인 것 같다.
▼ 한국팀에선 본인을 제외하고 멀티킬을 기록한 선수가 없는데? - 재미를 위한 보여주기 식의 경기 때문이라고 생각하지만, 그래도 이길 줄 알았다. 외국 선수들의 실력이 만만치 않았다. ‘많이 다르구나’, ‘정말 잘 하는구나’라고 생각했다. 내일부터는 더 집중해서 웃음기 없는 경기력을 보여줄 것 같다. 어제 오늘은 팬들을 위한 이벤트 경기라 100% 전력을 발휘했다고 생각하진 않는다. 나만 100% 발휘했다고 생각한다. 외국 선수들도 마찬가지로 100% 실력 발휘를 한 것은 아니라고 생각한다.
▼ 얼마 전 IEM5에 출전했던 정우서, 박현우 선수의 조언은 없었나? - 외국 선수들에 대한 두려움이 전혀 없었기 때문에 특별히 물어보거나 하진 않았다. 단지 그들과 붙고 싶었을 뿐이다.
▼ 외국 선수들 경기를 보면서 느낀 점은? - 정종현과 필립척의 재경기 전의 경기도 인상 깊었고, 임재덕 선수와의 경기에서도 ‘잘 하는구나’라고 느꼈다. 나랑 붙을 때보다 마지막 세트에서 더 잘한다고 생각했다. 게임을 하면서 발전하는 것 같다. 페이암 토프얀 선수도 잘하는 것 같다. 전체적으론 비슷한데 생각이 조금씩 다른 것 같다.
▼ 외국 선수들의 의외의 전략에 대해 어떻게 생각하는가? - 프로토스나 테란은 딱히 다르다고 생각은 하지 않는다. 하지만 저그는 다른 것 같다. 테란이나 프로토스가 다르다곤 하지만 얼추 비슷하다고 생각한다. 다만 저그를 상대할 때 좀 다른 것 같다.
▼ 내일 경기는 어떻게 예상하는가? - 어제 연습 하고 자려고 했는데 맵이 아직 안 떴다. 맵이 빨리 떴으면 좋겠다. 앞으로는 맵이 빨리 공지됐으면 좋겠다. 선수 입장에서는 24시간도 채 안 되는 시간이기 때문에 기다리기다 힘들다. 내일 이윤열 선수를 상대하기 때문에 오늘 경기를 제대로 할까 말까 고민했는데, 어쨌든 한국대표로 나선 것이기 때문에 열심히 했다. 경기 감각을 익히는데도 좋았다. 내일도 만반의 준비를 해서 이길 수 있도록 하겠다.
▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은? - 한국팀 선수들 모두 수고했고, 다들 멋있었다. 종종 이런 대회가 있었으면 좋겠다. 해외 선수들과의 교류가 많아졌으면 한다. 경기를 해보니 다들 재밌고 착한 선수들이라고 느꼈다. 다음엔 외국에 나가서 해보고 싶다, 즐거운 하루였고 좋은 추억으로 남을 것 같다.

Thx for the translation.
Looks like he didn't lose his bw pride "never lose to a foreigner", you really saw he took those games 100% seriously lol.
He seems to be really really dedicated and focussed on sc2, like a real champion.
|
Thanks for the translation! Really nice to see that much respect from koreans players.
|
I've always been a fan of July. Some good quotes in there.
|
July zerg being a boss and showing the foreign community our place 
Nice interview, July is always so nice. Excited to see his play in a little bit.
|
So happy he was selected for the NASL. Nerd chills all over!!!
|
Always liked july. A lot of the comments about foreginers give the same kind of vibe as what july said, seems like they have respect for foreing players, but also always saying how their better than the foreigners.
|
Thanks for the translation Good interview =)
|
Thanks for translating :D
|
Oh no. Here comes the we didn't try excuse!
|
nicely done, thanks.
july is a beast, he played some good games.
|
I don't know if July's style will become more common or if other players will pick it apart in some time from now, but it at least makes me happy to see him do so well at the moment.
Also, I don't know, but perhaps add some sort of spoiler tags? There might be interested people who have yet to watch the VODs. Probably not many, but who knows.
Thanks for the translation!
|
Very cool, though I found it disappointing how he didn't even bother to talk to his teammates about the foreign players. I think it's fine if he is confident in his play, but they don't seem very tight knit if they didn't even talk for 10-20 minutes about foreigner play.

Read the title.
Its an interview about a match that was played last night.
If there aren't spoilers, well I'll be damned.
Spoiler tags are for UNEXPECTED spoilers.. not a freaking spoiler landmine like an interview thread.

Pretty much this. Honestly, if you don't want to get spoiled you should just stay off TL until you've seen the games.
Nice interview. I love how people say July isn't good, yet he makes it to the finals of GSL and beats White_Ra, Huk, Moonglade and Jinro all in a row.

I'm so glad that the Koreans didn't try again, just like they didn't try in TSL So nice of them to give us a handicap every time we play them.
/sarcasm

Thanks for the translation ! :D <3 July !

Can you read? he said he felt that everyone did not play up to their potential, not JUST the koreans.
Jesus, the bias is rediculous.

Honestly, some people here have too much of a chip on their shoulders about the "Koreans didn't try" thing. July said right there that he definitely tried his best. He also said that he felt his teammates were not trying their bests, but he also admitted that the foreigners seemed like they weren't trying their hardest either.
It was a friggin' showmatch, and it's likely that neither side truly gave 100% since there's an actual tournament with money on the line directly after the showmatch. People need to stop trying to look at these games as ways to gauge Koreans vs. Foreigners because it inevitably results in lots of bitterness and sarcasm when they're faced with the reality that players simply treat the showmatch as such - a showmatch - and don't take it 100% seriously.
With that said, that that was an awesome interview by July, fun read that made be a bigger fan. Thanks for posting and translating it (you did a great job translating for it being your first time)

^ Spot on imo.
Also, strikes me as quite coincidential that every player from both teams just managed to play at least 1 game (not to mention the MVP disconnect - which sucked donkey balls, as it was an epic match).
Not sure if it might have gone lost in translation (awesome jobs nonetheless tho, cheers for that), but it seems July somehow said he was "better than the foreigners" without being cocky, and being (somehow) polite about it... <3 July

in bw i saw july as this scary guy that i would never approach. in sc2 he seems like a pillsbury doughboy that bounces around after he wins a match and slaps 5's with all of his teammates. it's really a different atmosphere in these gom leagues than in proleague

I agree and I like it. It seems a lot more fan friendly. That's probably the wrong word to describe it but it's just feels more.... friendly I guess. Don't really know how to desribe it but I kinda like the atmosphere.

On March 30 2011 16:10:
I do not believe Koreans showed 100% of their games yesterday and today. Only i showed 100%. I also believe foreigners did not show 100% of their talent as well.
People need to learn to read. Also, big props to July for getting serious - the guy (even though I don't enjoy his playstyle) is a true champion.
|
Thank you for the translation. I really like to hear what the Korean players think, especially now that they are playing a lot of foreigners. Again, thank you!
|
oh yes i forgot to mention thanks for the translation! it's really nice having people on TL that can translate korean interviews. very interesting. ty!
|
Huge thanks for translating! Pretty interesting interview.
|
|
July is such a champ. Always playing the best with his game face on and never wants to lose. Truly the God of War.
|
It was a good thing July took this 100 % seriously , because MVP and Nestea could have struggled if a potential 5 top foreigners were left against them . Saving the korean pride .
|
nice read, very humble of july

July was very reasonable IMO. He didn't say the Koreans didn't try, just that he thought they didn't show all that they're capable of. He even said the same thing about the foreigners.. how can you get mad over this? That's more way reasonable than a lot of posters here have been about the TSL and GOM world championship results.

thanks for rehosting the photo Antoine.
i want to say, as a Korean American i was cheering for World-Allstar.
I really want 'even skill level' between Korean progamers and non-Korean progamers. If there is big skill gap between Korean progamers and non-Korean progamers, it would kill international competitive scene. I believe viewers of MLG, IEM, Dreamhack, NASL will be far less if there's a skill gap between Korean progamers and non-Korean progamers as people won't be able to watch them all. Also, in comparison World Cup would not be big as it is now if Brazil won World Cup decades after decades in a row. Since it is so obvious of outcome, would not be entertaining.
Thus, as stated, for e-Sport to grow in international level, non-Korean progamers needs to be even skill level as Korean progamers. This will attract more people to watch around the world.
Honestly, so many of us went through rollercoaster ride as players won and lost yesterday. If it was 8-1 or 8-0, it would have been far less entertaining.
Because of this, I was cheering for Dimaga and Nestea as they went to final game. (note i was cheering for Nestea not because i am Korean American, but because i am fan boy of Nestea )
|
July, the real God of War!
|
July is such a baller. Always looking forward to his matches. Good show by both teams!
|
Lol, that was great July is so likeable
|
Nice to hear Korea's side. I honestly think that the showmatch was win-win. The Koreans held on to their pride, but the forgeigners proved that they're formidable. Like Artosis said, it was a victory for non-Koreans to do so well.
|
ST_July officially my fave. Sorry IMNesTea! You're still a very very close second!

I picked out some interview highlights for you:
JulyZerg, the God of War, said:
I was surprised, but I had confidence in myself. I did not expect to do 4 kills though. I think i was lucky.
I wanted to show entertaining games, but i don't think they were all that entertaining. I did not want to lose. Even though 'fun games' are important, I thought winning was more important. So, i played seriously. I considered winning is 'fun' to watch.

July you are always welcome in foreign tournaments!
|
Thank you a lot for these translations. +1 Internet for you.
July is such a pro. Out of all Koreans I am rooting for him the most now, I hope he does well in NASL.
|
it was as close as it could get, really amazing series!
kinda wish the dimaga/mvp match had not been restarted, i was dying to know the outcome xD
|
Was anyone else waiting for the diet question? I think its a bit funny that they asked MC about his weight and he isn't even fat. Not that July is huge of course, hes just a little chubby.
Also, its nice to see the koreans discussing foreigners.
|
Awesome interview, thanks! Seems like July really respects Dimaga especially! What a fun event this was, "not trying" or not, it was super enjoyable!
|
I agree with his remark about T and P being very similar races, especially when compared to Zerg. Looking forward to see more of July.
|

That's why July is the greatest.

sorry but why is july the god of war? its a pretty heavy title to give to someone.
july is great! love that guy

july is great! love that guy The Koreans don't really shy away from awarding heavy nicknames. You got the Hero Toss, the Genius Terran, the Ultimate Weapon, the Tyrant, the Emperor, etc. etc. It's just a thing—adds a little drama, a little grandiosity.
As for why JulyZerg has that particular nickname, it’s because ever since his earliest SC:BW days he has been a hyperaggressive, ballsy, go-for-the-throat player. And he posted pretty dominant results at different points in his career (best ZvPer ever). So basically the “God of War” moniker is a nod to the great success he enjoyed playing an attack, attack, attack style.
|
Thanks for translation!
Nice interview and really nice to see how he speaks of non-koreans.
And for the haters, I think everyone wanted to win, but they played their safe basic strategies because they wanted to keep whatever special they had planned for the individual matches.

no no, it was the 16 second delay because the internet on the Korean side of the building is rerouted through Kenia.
All kidding aside, I really enjoyed these games. It was really fun to watch my foreigner hero's being boss against the Koreans. But of course July is the biggest boss of them all :D One regret remains, which is that I'll never know the outcome of the first Dimaga-MVP match (thanks Bnet) which had the potential to show how strong Zerg tech switches can be. Does Blizzard provide GSL with some specially modified clients? The UI dissappeared a few times when big battles came up, which I have never seen before.

When people say Koreans are better than foreigners they do not mean that foreign pros and Korean pros are on totally different skill levels. They are actually quite close. When people say Koreans are better what they mean is that the overall level of skill, game knowledge, and quality of play on the Korean server - as a whole - is the best in the world. This is an indisputable fact as an average player in Korea who doesn't even play in tournaments could be on par with a small tournament foreign player. But remember - this does NOT mean that Korean pros and foreign pros are far from each other in skill, only that if you want to face - consistently the best ladder competition, you will go to Korea and play on their server.

gonna be rooting for him in the NASL. GO july!
|
July doing things like a boss. I don't care about forgeiners, July and San are the true boss.

Thanks for the translation! JulyZerg is so manner. I really like the older progamers. They are quite articulate (although it is a translation so I have to take it with a grain of salt).
Like July, I also hope that there will be more of these types of events.
|
TT1 and dimaga were definitely surprising, i thought they were the 2 weakest players on the World Team before the WC, and they impressed july the most
|
I love the fact that he gives foreigners full credit, in terms of their styles and underlying talent (that he says was not fully realized). I also think it's true that the Koreans didn't go all out, but I think the skill ceiling for foreigners is just as high as theirs.
|
About July not losing to foreigners in BW:
July actually lost 0:2 to Lx in the Loser's brackets of STX masters in China. But I think Koreans don't count Chinese as foreigners just like foreigners themselves do. Not to mention LX was trained in SKT1.
White-Ra has done a lot for his team by taking out MC. But the way he lost to July deserves some spanking by Artosis since White-RA counter all-in'ed instead of playing safe after fending off July's baneling bust.

/sarcasm Hey, my home boy julyzerg tried!
lol, GSL WC produced entertaining games, and really is a wake-up call to the Koreans to be less self-centered in comparing skill level of players.
And to above post, Koreans hardly consider Chinese foreigners. But it should be duly noted that Chinese are technically foreigners to Korean scene.

Yeah, the Chinese aren't counted as Foreigners, but as a different group altogether. Good research though.
Good interview by July. He really has a lot of pride and confidence, but respect as well. And it's cool that he doesn't want a gap to happen just like Brood War.
You'll always be a hero for the swarm mr. July.

Zerg tech switches work fine, just not against a ton of 3/3 racks and a few k worth of resources banked, and fully teched terran that is denying his half of the map entirely :D .

Thanks for the translation, <3 july's answers.

Thanks for the translation.
July is awesome. Loved his answers and I respect him even more now (If thats even possible)
|
I wish someone translate dimaga's interview after wining. I saw it on Playxp long ago.
|
Living up to be the boss. Great intervieuw. Shows some good respect for the foreigners
|
Thanks for the translation it's cool to see July is excited to play in foreign countries and that foreigners are doing much better in SC2 than in BW.
|

aw the last line put a smile on my face
