I'm glad to have the opportunity to exchange words with China's strongest Protoss and share it all with you guys.

Fair warning, this is a teeny bit long.

Untranslated transcript:
+ Show Spoiler +
me 吉姆大神,我真得很荣幸跟中国最强的高手做个访问。你不尽是中国最强的高手,还是最年轻之一。你觉得你是中国最有影响的17岁小伙子吗?我个人的看法就是这样子。
Jim:不觉得是吧,国内很多选手都很强,只是比较年轻一点而已
Me: 你的父母支持你选择这个事业线吗?
Jim:刚开始有点反对,后来拿到工资后就支持了。

me 你是什么时候成为一个职业选手?
Jim:2011年的时候吧,觉得神族很简单蛮适合我的就决定要当上一名职业选手了

me 你到了美国,拿到第五名预选之后,怎么感觉了?
Jim:接下来希望签证不出问题到总决赛就好了,俱乐部和暴雪都在尽力做。

me 我上次转播NSL的时候你是属于Tyloo战队,你什么时候加入了iG?
Jim:今天3月20号吧,TYLOO解散了RTS分部,我在iG也训练了很久了,我觉得IG比较适合我就加入了

me 我看你的小组在WCS总决赛就是「死亡之组」。你觉得你的机会怎样?
Jim:不多,打MARU在天梯经常交手,我觉得机会还是有的,打SCALETT就比较难打,感觉他好克我


me 如果你可以变化星际2里的一件事情,你会变化什么?
Jim:容错率吧,经常就差那么一点,然后就输掉了。。。

me 你如果有能力变化明年的WCS制度的一切,你会怎么变化赛制,规范之类的?
Jim:我也不知道,我是选手,打好比赛就行了。这些还是问我的领队edison吧。

me 你最喜欢那一个中国的口味?
Jim:酸和辣的

me 话说你来过美国的时候就遇到过一个小小的灾难。我想听你的解释。
Jim:当时在飞机场我和接我的人错过了,电话又没信号,还好有WIFI,及时通过论坛来说明下自己的情况,之后通过edison接到我了。还好他和MacSed第一天来的时候也和我一样,心里平衡了。

me 你有没有考虑过你本人的退休?
Jim:还没吧,我会努力打好职业,先把自己在做的事做好。

me 你觉得「虫群之心」的"卖座"在中国国内怎样?你认为有没有办法改善他?
Jim:我觉得赛事问题比较大,中国上半年几乎没有一个比赛



me 你有一个特别不想打得对手在中国国内?国外呢?
Jim:中国的话MACSED吧,国外的话SCARLETT,POLT,还有很多人吧。。

me 出了美国,中国之外,你去过其他的国家吗? 你一共几次出国打国外的比赛?

Jim:这次是第一次出国打比赛。

me 除了WCS之外,你最想去哪一个国外的比赛?

Jim:当然想去韩国打战队联赛,去哪里进步的机会就大了

me 你有没有考虑加入国外的队伍?到处有会中文的华人。。。
Jim:现在还没有考虑,我觉得实力还有待上升,而且iG俱乐部很不错的。

me 你喜不喜欢「海绵宝宝」?
Jim:挺喜欢的

乡民的问题:



Me: JIM 对分组后的名单有何感想?
我觉得还是比较难出线,不过我还是会去努力做好一切,即使没有出线。当然首先我得看签证能不能过了。
Me: 你认为出线几率高不高在WCS NA?
当时认为不高吧,因为输掉给JAEDONG后,感觉还要赢2轮才有机会,都迷茫了
Me: 这几天里的备战状况自己是否感到满意 ?
还行吧,就平常练习不多不少。
Me: 你和谁对练PVT,对付OSL冠军有多少信心?
除了XY没人练习,XY的风格和韩国人还是有出入的,所以主要打天梯吧,看发挥吧,天梯上面55开,比赛就不一样了
Me: jim大神的情感经历?
Jim:无

Me: 你喜欢什么类型的女生?
Jim:懂我的女生吧

Me: 你有没有女朋友 或者女粉丝?
Jim:没有女朋友,不知道有没有女粉丝~~

Me: 你在职业上的理想和追求是什么?
Jim:当然是拿到世界冠军了

Me: 如果你在次对上JD.你觉得你有几层胜算?
Jim:我会努力,下次应该有6成

Me: 艾迪生是不是会趁你睡觉的时候摸你?
Jim:没有吧。。。

Me: 你准备怒干大雨神?
JimVP很不稳定,谁都有可能赢谁

Me: 最后准备和大家说点什么?
Jim:感谢大家的支持,感谢我的俱乐部,你们会看到我不断的进步的!


Me:"Master Jim, I am truly honored to have an interview with China's strongest protoss competitor. You're not only the strongest in China, but one of the youngest as well. Do you think you are the most influential 17 year old young man in China? Because that's the way I see it."

Jim: I don't think so. Chinese players are all pretty strong, it's just that I'm a little bit younger and that's it.

Me: Did your parents support your decision to become a professional gamer?

Jim: When I first started, they were against it, but after I got my paychecks they supported me.


Me: When did you first become a professional gamer?

Jim: It was back in 2011. I thought protoss was very simple, and slowly suited me, and I just decided to go pro.


Me: When you came to America and placed 5th [at WCS NA Finals], how did you feel?

Jim: I just thought that I should continue, and as long as my visa has no problems, I should make it to the finals. Blizzard and "the club“ [invictus gaming team?] are doing their best right now.

Me: The last time I casted the NeoTV Star League, you belonged to team Tyloo. When did you join invictus gaming?

Jim: March 30th of this year. Tyloo Disbanded their RTS roster, and I was already training at the iG house for a long time, so I thought iG was a pretty suitable choice for me to join.

Me: I think your group at the WCS finals is the "Group of Death". What do you think your chances are?

Jim: Not that great. Maru I've encountered regularly on the ladder and played him a lot. I think there is still a chance none the less, but playing against scarlett will be extremely difficult, I think she is my Kryptonite.

Me: If you could change one thing in SC2, what would you change?

Jim: The tolerance of a mistake. If you have just one weakness, just one mistake usually costs me the game.


Me: If you could change next year's WCS system at all, how would you change the tournament system, the rules and regulations and things of that nature?

Jim: I'm a player, my role is play well in tournaments, you should ask my manager edison for these things.


Me: What is your favorite Chinese taste [food]?

Jim: Sour and Spicy. [sichuanese]

Me: People are saying that when you first came to America you got yourself in to a teeny bit of a calamity. I'd like to hear your explanation of that.

Jim: at the time I was at the airport I got lost, and my phone had no signal, I still had wifi, I promptly went to some forums [NeoTV] to explain my situation, afterwards edison picked me up. It's alright, he and MacSed were the same on the first day. In heart and mind we were balanced.

Me: Have you ever thought of your retirement?

Jim: I haven't. I will always work hard for my career, and I choose that everything that I do should be done well.

Me: How do you think sales of HoTS in China have been? Do you think there is a way to improve it?

Jim: I think the question of tournaments is pretty big. Internally in China [with Chinese organizers, Chinese companies, etc.] there has been almost no tournaments for half a year.

I just want to clarify what Jim means here. IEM Shanghai and CPL Shenyang were NOT organized by Chinese companies / eSports organizations. They were organized by foreign eSports organizers (Turtle Entertainment / ESL) in China, piggy-backing off of Chinajoy and whatever was happening in Shenyang for CPL. These are not domestic Chinese leagues. Continuing on...


Me: Who is the one guy that you never want to play against within China? How about outside of China?

Jim: Within China? MacSed. Outside of China? Polt, Scarlett, and many more...

Me: Besides America and China, have you been to any other countries before? Altogether, how many times have you been outside of China to compete?

Jim: This [going to America for WCS NA] has been my first time ever leaving the country to Compete.


Me: Besides WCS, which tournament have you wanted to compete in the most?

Jim: I definitely want to go to Korea to play in the team leagues. If I could go to Korea to play in team leagues, I will improve a lot.

Me: Have you ever thought about joining a team outside of China? There are ethnically Chinese peopel born abroad everywhere that can still speak Mandarin.

Jim: I never really thought about it even until now. I think I'm not strong enough, and I have a lot of room for improvement. Besides, iG is pretty good in itself.

Me: Do you like Spongebob Squarepants?

Jim: I definitely like [the show].

questions from Chinese netizens at Neotv:

me: What are your thoughts on the grouping and player list?

Jim: It's a very difficult outlet, but I will do my best for every bit of it, even though I may not make it. First and foremost, will I even get my visa?

me: Did you initially think you had a chance to make it out of your group at WCS NA?

Jim: At first, I thought my chances weren't that great. Because of course, after I lost the first game to Jaedong, I thought I could win round 2 and have a chance. It was all very perplexing.

Me: How has all of this standing by in preparation been? Are you satisfied?

Jim: It's Okay. I've just been practicing, not too much, not too little.

Me: Who do you practice your PVT with? How confident are you feeling when it comes to that OSL Champion? [Maru Prime]

Jim: Aside from practicing wth XY, there's no one else to practice with. XY's style, when compared to the Koreans, still has quite the discrepancy. So, I mainly practice on the ladder and see what comes. But on the ladder there's only a 50-50 chance of winning. Its completely different from tournaments...

Me: How is Jim's experience with relationships and girls?

Jim: Never had one.

Me: What kind of girls does jim like?

Jim: The girls that understand me.

Me: Do you have a girlfriend or any female fans?

Jim: I don't have a girlfriend. I don't know if I have any female fans or not.

Me: What are your career ideals and goals?

Jim: It would definitely be to take the world Championship

Me: If you face off against Jaedong again, how do you think your chances will be to beat him?

Jim: I'll do my best. Next time I should have a 60% chance of winning.

Me: Has edison ever taken the opportunity to poke you while your sleeping?

Jim: Nope...

Me: Are you ready to take down Rain?

Jim: PvP is very volatile, anyone can beat anyone.

Me: Finally, what is the last thing you want to say to everyone?

Jim: Thank you everyone for the support, thank you to my team, you will soon see my unyielding progress!

I thought Jim was unable to attend WCS Grand Finals? Is this interview before he had Visa troubles or has the news changed since then?

Instead of "poke", "touch" seems like a more accurate translation. But still... What a question. lol

Lol I missed this question, kind of hilarious since his manager is named Edison.

Interesting that he pegs his chance against Jaedong at 60% hmm. Having said that, best of luck to him! He has a tough group ahead of him if he plans on advancing and eventually winning the finals!

I think there is an error:
He means, in the last sentence, I should still win the next 2 rounds (in the placement decider matches) to earn me a chance (to Germany). It was all very perplexing. (since it was quite difficult)

Thanks for the interview! Jim is very humble. I'm sad he couldn't play at WCS Finals, but look forward to him playing elsewhere!
