A: SC1 was fun because every game was different, and it depended on your performance that game. On the contrary, in SC2 each game looks the same. Just turtle till 200 supply and fight. When in a disadvantage, if you could not harass your opponent, you would lose straight-on as well. Stork confirms what we've been saying for years. | ||

Here's the original Korean text and my direct translation for the streaming part. + Show Spoiler [Original Korean] + - 그래도 은퇴한 선수들은 개인방송을 통해서 팬들을 찾고 있잖아요. 인기가 장난이 아니던데, 부럽지는 않아요? ▶ 저는 개인방송에 대해서 굉장히 부정적이거든요. 방송에서 망가지는 모습을 보니까 안타까워요. 조작 사건과 관련된 선수도 방송을 하잖아요. 그러니 더더욱 개인방송에 대해 좋은 인상을 받기가 어렵죠. 저는 프로게이머로서의 프라이드가 강해요. 관중들이 한 둘씩 오는 것이 아니라 몇 만 명씩 와서 환호를 하잖아요. 그런 팬들이 좋아했던 것은 궁극적으로 그 선수의 플레이잖아요. 개인방송을 하는 사람들 중에 일부는 그런 환상을 모두 깨는 동시에, 팬들을 돈으로 보는 행동을 해요. 분명히 대회장에서 보면 정말 멀쩡했거든요. 그런데 돈을 위해 그렇게까지 변한다는 점이 무척 아쉬워요. 순수한 의도면 모를까 돈을 위한 방송은 하지 않았으면 좋겠어요. 물론 안 그런 선수들도 있지만요. - Still, many retired progamers are interacting with their fans via their personal streams. [These streamers/streams] are quite popular, are you perhaps jealous of them? ▶ My view on those personal streams is very negative. It's sad to see them embarrass themselves in their broadcasts. Besides, even those associated with the matchfixing scandal are streaming, and that makes it even harder to view the streams in a positive light. I take great personal pride in being a progamer. Fans don't come one by one, they come by the tens of thousands to cheer [for the progamers/teams]. For those fans, the core motivation behind their loyalty is the player's skill. Some of the [ex-progamer] streamers shatter those images while broadcasting, and [even do things that show] they treat the fans as money [and nothing more]. All of these guys were perfectly fine before [when I met them / was with them in eSports stadiums/competitions]. That's why it's so disappointing to see these guys turn [into what I described above] just for money. Streaming for [enjoyment of the game, etc.] is fine, but I hope they don't stream for the sole purpose of making money. Of course, not all streamers are like that. So in this case, the translation in the OP is not too far off... maybe this thread won't be closed like the iloveoov's lol. Put this in the OP. I don't wanna see ppl have negative thinking on Stork | ||

But the way he badmouthing afreeca/sospa scene break my heart. Are you seriously going to go from fan to hater because you read a translated interview with a person that a) do not know and b) probably have limited knowledge of the mindset of a Korean progamer? I'm not saying the translation is poorly done or anything, but with the huge cultural and mindset difference between the west and Korea this translation is not intended to be taken literally word for word as an instruction manual to what Stork thinks and his complete reasoning for thinking that way. Use common sense, please. | ||

I see what he means when he talks about the streamers - it's not about the Sospa scene itself, it's about streamers who do embarassing things for money and treat fans as cash cows... | ||

We make the best of what we got and thank Sonic for doing what he's doing. These ex-pro's are just trying to get by. It's an impromptu method and they're trying to make the best out of the situation they got. Stork even said it, they aren't pro's anymore so what they do on their own time is their business. *Look HerO, you have another fan. Everybody loves HerO. | ||
