Excuse me for non-native level translation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[image loading]

Q: How does it feel to be the assistant coach of KT?

A: I had no idea that KT is such a good team. They are awesome. After seeing the training environment, I finally know why they were the champions. The environment is good and salary is good. Teammates have good relationships. And the coaches are really care about the players.

----
Q: Why did you choose to become an assistant coach? Did you give up to being a player?

A: I met the managers and head coach of KT before. I think they are really nice guys, so I think this (becoming assistant coach) will be greatly helpful to my life and it will be a good experience.

I have participated in many foreign tournaments, and I really want to continue playing because of that. But I have to give up due to military service. Anyway, being an assistant coach is also great.

-----
Q: What is KT’s skill level of Starcraft 2?

A: The skill level of KeSPA players are almost the same. Every team has an outstanding player. And the rest of the players have really good fundamentals, so they are also very strong in mid-to-late game. As long as they perform well in macro, there won’t be too much of a problem.

-----
Q: Flash is famous for his solid fundamentals

A: His fundamentals are very good and he is a talented player. This actually made me very surprised. Only after watching him play, I realized that he is truly endued with talent. Although his understanding of Starcraft 2 is not thorough, he plays very well. Stats is very good too.

-----
Q: How long will it take for them to catch up with GSL players?

A: If they fully switch to Starcraft 2, it will be very quick. I think some players have already reached GSL level. Although I can see many weaknesses when they play in SPL, it felt close (to GSL level) in training. They have diverse openers. It’s just they still lack experiences in early game. In mid-to-late game, KeSPA and GSL players are almost the same level.

-----
Q: As KT’s assistant coach, which player do you think has improved the most?

A: I will explain little by little after practice matches. I found Stats has improved the most.

-----
Q: Any last words?

A: I want to thank SlayerS Jessica and Boxer.

Cool interview. Glad to see Clide is happy as a coach, though it is sad to no longer see him as a player. Very nice gesture by Clide thanking SlayerS Jessica and BoxeR.

Maybe Clide is destined to help others win GSLs and not himself. The Tastosis prophecy has merit still, maybe just some problems in the translation.
