This is a translation of a translation. Larse already did a quick translation in another thread(thanks!) but this is the full interview. Please feel free to correct me if I've translated something wrong. Only Flash interview is up, if jjakji's comes up I will translate it asap.

Flash

Q You've made it to Ro16, how do you feel?
A I think this is the 4th consecutive time that I've qualified, but it's weird and also regretful that I always drop out on Ro16. I must go further this time, so I will try my best.

Q Your plan on WCS points?
A This is probably the last chance. Because of WCS points, I will set my goal to ro4, then qualify for the final, but getting WCS point is my main priority for now.

Q If you win this GSL, you will reverse everything.
A I was stopped twice in the ro16 so I must win it all this time for it to become true. I must get over the ro16 curse quickly.

Q What was the reason behind dropping out the last two Ro16
A It's because my skill was still lacking so I've practiced very hard during the holiday period. I have a good feeling regarding this season, therefore I should have a good chance.

Q JD is very active recently, does that intimidate you?
A Instead of intimidated, I would say he has given me a lot of motivation . Everyone seems to be retiring these days, looking at JD still fighting on his own also made me feel happy.

Q You've started streaming
A When I first started streaming I've only practiced for 4-5 days after a one month break. After the break my mentality is much better and I can proceed in full speed again. Because the stream was done right after a break, I was out of practice and even feeling a bit unfamiliar, but I will not have that kind of (bad) performance again.

Q You are constantly picked into group of death for Ro16
A Going into a group of death for two consecutive ro16 is very tiring. To tell the truth, I don't think Bomber is that strong, but somehow he made it out of the group and eventually became the champion. If I end up in a group of death again this season, there is nothing much I can do. I will train hard to qualify.

Q Today your TvT is impressive
A I always feel good about TvT. After the hellbat nerf I actually feel like I've improved. I believe I will do better from now on.

Q You are about to play in oversea matches.
A I am confident. But I don't like being on a plane. This time the flight is 15 hours long, as long as I can survive the flight I should do well, I am always confident in my oversea win rates.

Q Anything else?
A After I've return from Thailand I've manage to improve my mentality. My mindset had been in a difficult stage for couple of months now. Skillful players such as Jangbi retiring is regrettable, it hurt my heart when I first found out. In reality, I've too have once lost interest in SC2, but I have now stabilized my mindset. Because of my promise and my fans, I will keep working hard.

Flash's TvT mech strategies looked pretty strong today, hope to see some more of that in the near future.

It sound like he took some time off from practicing. But I am not too sure. The Chinese translation said something like "I've actually took a long break for about a month"

Well it does make a lot of sense that "even" progamers need a time off and stop doing what is basically their job.
Especially with a game like SC2 where mentality is a big part in how well you perform.

I feel that he's saying this for the sake of hype. Bomber just looks so utterly masterful in TvT that I can't picture Flash honestly thinking ill of Bomber's abilities.

Oh man, Flash retiring would just be too much. I think the main reason I still watch sc2 is because I know JD and Flash are still playing and that some day, somehow, they will reach the top again. If they weren't in the shadows... the game would lose a lot of spark.

It's what kept me watching during the first couple years after beta, knowing the pros would transfer 1 by 1, and knowing that all this crazy talent was just the beginning of something great later on.

JD/Flash retiring would crush me.

Flash had the most wins in Proleague and Jaedong is 2nd in the WCS standings. I think you need to reassess your standards.

Fans of the players that were #1 and #2 from basically 2009 onwards probably aren't satisfied with most proleague wins (only a bisu fan is happy with that+ Show Spoiler +

) or 2nd in wcs points.

That would be so epic. Too epic to handle!

I hope Flash does well. I think he has really nice chance to win at the DH and I also believe that he will go far in GSL this season.
