TL: How did you feel when the crowd was chanting your name after your victory?
MMA: I had something to say, but I forgot it amidst the cheers.

TL: MLG Columbus was very good for the Koreans, with you, Losira and MC placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. What do you think of the foreigners, and how would they do in the GSL if they went to Korea?
MMA: The reason Koreans did better than foreigners is because they work harder, doing what they love with professionalism, putting in long hours with perserverence and passion. Of the foreigners, I think ThorZain would do very well if he came to the GSL.

TL: You're part of Slayers, a team run by one of the most popular players - Boxer. You play very similarly to the way Boxer played in Brood War. Does he coach you, or is there some reason you have a similar style?
MMA: My medivac play is something any Terran could do if they played with more finesse, but because the SC II interface is so convenient, players don't exploit that aspect of the game. I think thats why my harass play works.

TL: Did you expect the foreign fans to be so passionate? How does it compare to your experience in GSL and Korea?
MMA: It's my first time in the USA, and the crowds, passion, cheers were reminiscent of the 2002 World Cup in Korea. It was so great, and it would be awesome if GSL could be as popular.

TL: You said you want to come back to MLG. Any words to the fans who'd also love to see you again?
MMA: Korean players know all about TeamLiquid and visit it often. I'd like to thank all of the fans. Also, there are a lot of foreign pro-gamers on TL, and I hope [Koreans] have good exchanges.

There was something I wanted to say back on stage. Thanks for inviting us to MLG. Thank you MLG employees, Lee Chen, Alyssa, Josh, and especially Wooju (milkis) here for helping us out.

Ooh, didn't expect the nod to ThorZain, that's really cool.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Thanks for the translation. It was awesome when Milkis accidentally started speaking English to MMA during the stage interview :D.

Great interview.

Glad to see MMA recognizing the potential in Thorzain. He sure held his own against a 2 time GSL champion.

Milkis getting shout outs for his gosu translating. Thanks for the post and great work this weekend.
Do an arranged marriage if she's not completely minging, and don't worry about dancing, get a go-kart, cheers.

Thanks, can't wait for the vid. So hyped for Anaheim, I mean there is just such a huge difference between Ohio and California. Will be epic!

I really hope Thorzain heads to GSL. I'm normally very skeptical about people who claim x or y foreign player is on par with top Koreans simply because they might win one series or be dominant in the foreign scene, but Thorzain I think is unquestionably a contender.

I'm really really happy that he was excited/surprised by the energy of the crowd. That leaves a good impression on the Koreans.

I really respect the translator (Milkis), doing amazingly great translations and spot on.

Oh and good interview, thought I would have loved a question about the IdrA ceremony

MMA seems like such a nice guy.

Big props to Milkis translating! (Even when he asked MMA the question in english. For the lulz of course!)

Great work Milkis.

Fantastic performance by MMA. I hope he gets to go to Anaheim to defend his crown (and Bomber gets another shot ).
