Hey guys this is Seeker! I'm sure you've all noticed the rather lack of interviews so far for this weekend (WCS, GSTL)
Why is that? It's because I am currently here in Anaheim, CA with this amazing/awesome media crew called FlamingCow.TV
They hired me to be the Korean/English translator. So I've been busy translating Korean player interviews for 2 days straight and then adding subtitles for those interviews.
However, I think it's due time that you guys got to see some of the freaking awesome content this crew has been pushing out. Get ready for some pure, epic interviews

We hope to see you all in the comments and here to tell us what works, what doesn't, and what you want to see.
In the coach park interview, does the translator know Korean or is the interview somehow edited apart from the subs? I just get this feel that it's really awkward and kind of offensive if he does not understand him at all but says "wow thats great" every time he finishes.

So FlamingCowTV is an organization that tries to do things very uniquely. They have Gwin (the interviewer) ask a question, I translate it to Coach Park, Coach Park answers, I translate it back to Gwin, and then Gwin responds. But they purposely edit it so that the interview runs smoothly as if Gwin and Coach Park are just having a regular conversation with one another.
Nicey I like how they edit it and cut out the unnecessary translations, makes the interview much smoother and faster!
Just one point that I think they could improve at: In the coach park interview when you have both the interviewer and coach Park in the same shot when coach park is talking, it looks a bit unnatural because the interviewer is not reacting at all to what Park is saying by ways of body language. I realize it's a bit much to ask from the interviewer to 'fake' it when he doesn't understand the language ^^ Perhaps shouldn't use those shots at all with Koreans?
Anyway, glad to see you are getting paid for your translating work sometimes!
Hey when you update the post with the winteR interview please have it above the spoiler. Would be a shame if people missed out on such a great interview that gives a good look into Clarity Gaming and what they are doing for the scene.

I was already planning on doing that
The HOT! interviews for tomorrow are going to be the most recent ones. And the old ones (yugioh, hyun, dragon) are going to be moved into the spoilered section.
Are there other general interviews (not about a specific series) of Coach Park in english somewhere? In the end he says that he has a lot more to say. I'd like to hear that!
Hi friends. My name is Huston and I'm part of the production team for Flamingcow.TV. What that means is that I'm one of the fine folks behind the cameras and computers trying to bring you the best and most unique MLG coverage that we can.
Gwin and Livinpink are working themselves ragged to line up some great interviews here on day 3. From players and personalities big and small. We love it when TotalBiscuit and Coach Park takes time out of their schedule to chat with us, and when we can maybe introduce someone to a lesser known team like Clarity. We like to think we're a little hipster that way.
We love any feedback you have about content, production, interviewees, anything. And it's your help that will make it even better. Tweet at us, YouTube comments, you name it. Tweet your favorite players and team and tell them that you want to see them on camera.
Thanks for the feedback already about the first two day's interviews.
Shoutouts: @crashonly: I'll take responsibility for the choppiness of Coach Park's interview. I was behind the production machine cutting that live. I lost focus and wasn't switching when I should to other cameras. Hence the awkward cuts. I hope I did better on some of the other interviews. He was so nice and such a great interview, I'm sad it's not a polished as it could have been.
@Thurken: Check out youtube.com/flamingcowtv for more interviews.
Kespa players didn't want to be interviewed? Would be very interesting to hear especially Dear and Stats since they have never been to such an event before.

Someone interviewed Flash and then started to sell his interview online. KeSPA found out and issued a ban on any interviews on KeSPA players besides on-stage interviews for MLG. There is a very complicated process that we needed to undergo in order to receive permission to interview KeSPA players. Unfortunately, we just didn't have the time... :/
These are really awesome interviews, but I was wondering what Flamingcow.tv actually was. Is it like a company? Because I went to their website and it's really just a stream.
