I am also looking forward to the end of the year for that reason. I am now practicing full-on and mashing my keyboard and mouse with the fervor of the old Jaedong. It's not yet the time for the results to show, but all of the talk around me has made me nervous


omg, this made me wetting my pants :D

I feel like there some kind of desperation in the words of JD.

Anyway, what intrigued me the most was how much they talk about appearance and beauty. Is that normal in Korea... among men?

Holy Shit, I almost shed a few tears at the end.

These two guys used to sit on top of the world, and still belong to the very small group of world class progamers; and yet they're so humble. And though they want to see the good in people and aging, it is unfortunately not true that everyone becomes wiser with age. You have to develop in the right environment and most would argue that spotlights and money aren't necesseraly best for that. The simple fact that they managed to remain caring and respectfull living through all that is a feat of strenght (and maybe a little bit of a cultural thing too ... OK).

Thanks for the wonderfull interview. I respected those 2 as players already, you've just earned them a new fan

oh my god this makes me feel so fucking sad. :[.

especially these parts:
+ Show Spoiler +

Flash: I would be lying if I said it wasn't difficult. But I am starting to feel a sense of accomplishment for the first time in a long time. In the past when I was at the top it was almost lonely. Nowadays it's fun to watch my gradual improvement. There is definitely stress, but I am still happy.


...

Jaedong: Especially as a progamer, meeting a clever and wise girl is very important. Being with a girl that complains because you can't spend time with her is very tiring. Your results also definitely suffer. But it seems that smart, purposeful women don't do that. Since they have their own goals, they don't get dramatic in order to meet with their boyfriends.


maybe just bc of whats been going on with my life but... wow. i just feel sad - in a good way.

thank you so much
OKAY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

Great interview. Read the whole thing.

Just where is Jaedong going to hear things like "he's done." ??
Let me at 'em!

Any live report threads with Jaedong games, sadly.

People are incredibly harsh on players there

I love this! Anyone have a link to that interview from four years ago they keep referencing?


I was not able to find the interview transcript on DES (there's a page for it but it's empty) and I don't know if someone translated it to English. I put links to the video version of the interview (Korean) in the original post.


Alright, I'll have to try and get a Korean friend to transcribe it for me

That was an awesome interview. When the nostalgia hits hard as a viewer, I can't even start understanding what it's like for them. They are so strong to keep going this long.
Try another route paperboy.

Can't believe it's been four years. I got a little misty eyed when they were talking about the height of Lee-Ssang Rok...things have changed so much.
