Since I'm a  Flash fanboy I will take my time before leaving for europe to translate this.
Flash: 14th consecutive season in the OSL, I'm learning from MarineKing
![[image loading]](http://img2.cache.netease.com/game/2012/8/7/201208072308203d8d9.jpg)
Q: You made it into the OSL (the Ro16 is the official OSL, the ODT is a "seperate tournament" serving as the qualifier if SC2 fans are not familiar with the terminology)
A: Actually alot of people didn't see me as a favorite like I was in BW - I could advance just by saying I want to advance then -, so this time making it into the OSL I'm very happy. Starting from the Ro16 I will meet GSL players so I'm very much ancitipating it.
Q: You created a record of making it into the OSL 14 seasons straight
A: It's been this many? (laugh) For 4, 5 years I've always been on the OSL stage, from the beginning playing preliminaries I've never missed the official league.
For the OSL, I'm never letting my guard down, always preparing very diligently. I'm very proud I've never missed a season, perhaps it's because I never faltered, so I'm very satisfied regarding this.
Q: Which of the 14 seasons was the hardest?
A: This OSL is a great mountain in front of me. It's the first SC2 (OSL) after all, so I'm also feeling very anxious / tense.
Q: After seeing the groups how did you feel?
A: I think it was a very good selection, I found a chance to get my revenge against Last, I lost to him twice in the SPL, the public opinion of me declined rapidly (because of it).
I was very dissatisfied, meeting him under a fair condition I had / performed a definite win mentality, (I'm) very happy. I just need to make it past the (first) 10 minutes then there aren't any problems (laugh).
Q: When you accepted a TV interview you said your ability is improving.
A: At first I said that catching up to GSL players will take 1-2 years, but now I think it will be a bit faster, I feel that I already don't have too great a gap with players from other leagues.
Aside from Code S players, I'm already catching up to alot of people. Watching the GSL now feels like watching an old era (unfamiliar). Now I'm already trying my best to catch up, but I want to catch up to them a bit faster.
I will watch the VODS of the players ahead of me, this should help with improving my ability. Kespa's top players have basically caught up to GSL players. But a player like me will need to practice another 1000 matches (laugh).Because it's dual format right now (BW + SC2), BW practice will also take a bit of time.
Q: You always had OSL champion as a goal
A: Now my mentality has been adjusted to a rookie. This mentality is necessary, it's not strange at all. I have my own road to walk.
Q: Getting familiar with something new must be interest?
A: Understinding it bit by bit (translator: I'm sorry), my ability is also improving slowly. I'm thought about the amount of work ethic / motivation I had as a trainee. Recently I feel that I'm play a fortunate / happy game. It's very interesting.
Q: You really have a professional natural talent
A: From the start I felt that professional gamer was suitable for me. Now if I want to switch professions I've already walked alot of crooked roads / turns, so it would be very unfamiliar / difficult to adjust.
Q: BaBy called you out in a previous interview.
A: GSL players all think I'm really strong, I don't even know who to pick. But I don't have the ability so there isn't alot to show, yet alot of people still want to play with me. Everyone evaluating me so highly I really want to say thanks.
BaBy is (also) because he's so good that he would openly call me out (laugh).

Q: Who do you want to meet this season?
A: Actually recently the most VODS I've watched are MarineKing's. It's later that I learned he's a younger-hyung / school mate from my school. Even though we aren't too close in private, but I'm still very happy.
Q: Anything else?
A: I made the fans worry, maybe because I talked but didn't give enough real action. I'm doing alot of preparation to find the Flash of BW again. Even I don't know when it would be possible, but I will try.

Flash learning from MKP vods, be ready to see some sick ass marine splits!
|
I saw a bit of marineking's playstyle in Flash today, a little bit less scouting, no drops, but not much more than that.
|
Wow, so humble but without being bland, love it

Flash agreeing with the general consensus that the Kespa players are bad early game ^^
|
Also being in the OSL 14 seasons straight is akin to being in Code S for 14 seasons straight, if not harder, the previous record was BoxeR at 13 season (?) I believe?
|
I think it's time for a steamy Flash+MKP fanfic, yes?
Interesting to hear about Flash's thoughts on his skill level and the skill levels of the other KeSPA players when compared to the GSL players. I hope he makes another semifinals appearance so that his OSL streak doesn't end yet.

Anywhere we can see the vods from today?

"Oh Flash hyung, let us 15cc togetherrrrrr."
"Yes MKP hyung. And maek many marine mmmmm. Tap that "a" key like you tap meeeee"
I'm not a creative man, nor do I have the best imagination.

14 straight OSL appearances, pretty amazing. Seems like Flash has been around forever.

Code S has 32 players... so that's more like the dual tournament. OSL = Code S ro16.

Wasn't it stats that went to school with flash? So one school produced stats, marineking and flash I wonder what that's school perception of starcraft.
