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.

It would be so awesome if he made it to Blizzcon. Imagine if we got a JD vs Flash finals.
|
Thanks for translating! I hope he stays strong and isn't swayed by the weak ones defecting from SC2 
|
Flash's TvT mech strategies looked pretty strong today, hope to see some more of that in the near future.

We'll be waiting for you to return Flash 
|
Thanks for the translation!
|
Have the same feeling about Bomber. Hope to have Flash at the Blizzcon.

1 month break ? what does he mean by break ? not play at all or play normaly or casualy ? i'm very confuse
|
15 hours flight straight into an important tournament? I don't envy him at all.

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"

Shots fired at Bomber :O
hope he gets owned twice as hard this time by him.

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.

Flash went missing for 1 month.
Actually he went to thailand.
Break is so important

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.

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
flash came to my country but i didn't know!?
;@*&#%@#$&@

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.

wonder how he feels about bisu then
