Thank you for the translation.

Damn, MC's gettin old. I miss the days when he used to smack talk 24/7.

I'm waiting for another championship, boss toss! You were the first player I've ever become a fan of

Nice interview.

Seems to me that MC is not giving the credit where it's due though. Rain is already the best Protoss skill-wise, no point denying that.
He beat all the players that MC mentioned and MC fell to him before as well. It's not just about the number of championships (though Rain is getting there).

Great interview. I don't think he has lost many fans. And if he did, once he does one of his epic ceremonies they'll be back anyway!

Sorry though, i can't cheer for him today. Don't want a PvP!

lol, those are really weird places to sentence your thanks to nestea. It feels like nestea is channeling mc to thank him for everything but there were some blockage of his power at certain parts so the wordings didn't sound correct.

Edit: and I want to say this again, as a zerg I would be happy with a late game nerf WITH a mid game buff. As a long time zerg, z v p is really getting boring. I am not saying this as a spectator but as a player, there are stuff which are interesting but are just not effective like drops and such, HoTs is really going the wrong way. All Blizzard is doing is make our late game even more strong but our early and mid game is still crap. I have no idea why most of the new stuff are after hive tech.. it just sucks to not have more options early on.

i really dont understand... when every high level protoss is saying that broodlord infestor is too strong(and blizzard knows it as well) why is blizzard just ignoring it. they might be busy with hots at the moment but there are still plenty of tournaments going on and it is not like this problem just appeared in the past couple of weeks.
probably they think midgame is good for protoss and lategame is "good" for zerg(/impossible for protoss lol) = balanced matchup.

anway. great interview, hope he does well against drg today but drg - rain finals would be awesome as well.

@Showtime: I think in order to fix the lategame you would have to change the dynamic of the matchup on a broader scale, which would also include buffs to Zergs midgame (basically the Zerg needs to be able to beat 170 pop "deathballs" without being too reliant on hive stuff). Such an overhaul would also interfere heavily with the balance of ZvT. Considering that ZvP has pretty balanced stats in Korea I think Blizzard decided that it`s too risky to change the game too heavily before Hots.

The win-rates still favor Protoss heavily in Korea. If they simply nerfed Brood/Infestor zerg would be completely fucked since that's where almost every win from zerg comes nowadays. Things like the 12min roach max and what not simply don't kill Protoss anymore. Brown also claims to have found a way to play lategame PvZ and I'm sure it will get popular in general so lets see what that is.

The President. I will forever love this guy the most of all the Protoss out there. He showed us how to be strong in hard times. He will always be a strong player no matter how hard the competition gets or how down he is feeling. Honesty is pouring out of this interview as well, you see how much of a realist he is and outspoken about issues despite the traditional Korean stigma about that. Awesome can't wait to see him in OSL >

Actually, win rates are favouring toss at the moment in korea - where most high level players are. And if you think late game is impossible for toss, try mid game for zerg against immortal sentry. So no, blizzard doesnt think zerg is op as compared to what you say.

And btw, just because high level players says something doesn't mean its true. MVP was saying terran was weak before their nerfs, Nestea said zerg is weak, now MC is saying toss is weak. Everyone wants a bigger advantage since its their living, so don't assume just because players say something that means its true.

a large part of the interview is about pvz lategame and how it is very difficult for protoss, so i dont think it is a problem discussing it here. on the other site there are probably better topics to discuss so it will be my last post on this one.

yea, they favour protoss but most of these wins were achieved due to all ins and timing attacks.

also, im not even talking about nerfing infestors(or broodlords) because this wouldnt help zerg to defend timing attacks but rather about improving protoss lategame army when fighting against broodlord/infestor compositions. for example by experimenting a bit with the carrier(implement bw mechanics like nony suggested/change some numbers e.g. buildtime etc.). this would only affect pvz super lategame and give protoss a possibility to micro against the zerg deathball.

MC is a boss, I don't know why Korean fans wouldn't like him


i'm guessing its going back to his bw days where he was extremely cocky (and lost)

Didn't he also eliminate Nal_ra on oldboy? Or was that someone else...
