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.
I swear I read it on TL and horrifyingly enough, it seems like yesterday. Time flies...

Flash: It feels like we just did that interview yesterday, but four years have already passed? I did not know. Knowing that all that time spent preparing for the next match has become four years, I get a feeling of futility.
WTF? Does Flash still like the game and his career?

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
Hehe you can look at what people are saying in any jaedong thread (except this one). That other thread about jaedongs future options lots of people just shitting on him lol.

Flash: I remember, one time we were on a flight to a foreign tournament, when the plane hit turbulence or something and shook. The lights came on as did the announcement to stay in your seats and fasten seat belts; it was a serious situation. At that time, Rain prayed, "I must spend all of my money before I die so please let me live."
I laughed very hard at that sentence. Rain seems like a fun dude.

Excellent interview. Thanks for translating.

Thanks for the translation, interviews like these make both Flash and Jaedong so accessible, human and easier to relate to. But I'm glad they're both doing what they enjoy and that they've both seemed to find their spirits back lately. Flash is not yet a winner but he does seem to improve gradually. His play the last couple of months is definitely better than before. JvP seems to become less and less of a problem and overall his ZvZ & ZvT are on a really decent level. I wish there was a way to tell them there's also a lot of people still supporting the both of them, regardless of how they perform right now, but I hope they know.

Really enjoyed reading this, thanks for translating!

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.
fucking goosebumps.

Awesome interview, but one wonders if this
Jaedong: Flash is definitely admirable, not so with me (laugh). Honestly, there is another reason why my results have not been good. At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I barely practiced at all. I was so stressed from other matters that it was difficult to pick up the mouse.
is very professional or not. If I'm not mistaken this was around the time he joined EG, so this should have been enough motivation to practice.

What did you think he would say? Of course they want to get their fans excited.

Thanks for the translation. Flash is already there or there abouts, and JD has been showing promise recently, so who knows....
Definitely brought back some good memories.

I honestly doubt that every pro practices at the most rigorous level they can every day, every week. As Jaedong mentioned, I'd guess that players can have hard times and lose motivation sometimes, but have to avoid mentioning it in interviews to keep fans from worrying.

That was cool. Anybody when exactly when this interview was done (withing a month)?
|
I never doubted Jaedong. 2nd place in the last two Dreamhack is the obvious sign of him working hard and trying to reach the top again. Yes I almost broke my keyboard watching him losing badly against Hyun in Valencia, but hey, he reached the finals in a very convincing way, and that's a huge sign. Jaedong Fighting!
