This is a quick second-hand and shortened translation. As always, it is important to note about the things that lost during the two translation processes.

[image loading]

Q: Words for winning the series for the team.

Flash: Like the last series, my performance was not very good. In the ACE match, I was very nervous, so there were many mistakes. Next time I really need to be relaxed a little bit more.

Q: Your current TvP is not very good. It was not like this in the past.

Flash: On the one hand, Protoss is in an advantageous position; on the other hand, I did not play to my full strength like I did in the practice. In other matchups, you are less likely to get all-in’ed. But in TvP, you need to be completely ready for all-ins. It is a huge headache. And even I don’t have confidence. In the next series, I will prepare well and hope I can meet Protoss again.

Q: Is Protoss in a dominant position?

Flash: To be honest, it is at the moment. But Protoss is not invincible. I believe I will get better and I am practicing hard. In the practice, I can win Protoss often.

Q: Is it predetermined that you play the ACE match?

Flash: Yes. I expect my opponent to be either solar or Roro, or it’s a Protoss. I prepared everything, so I had confidence for the ACE match.

Q: How did you expect the game with Stork?

Flash: I want to play TvP. I want to meet a Protoss in the next match. I want to improve my weakness and accumulate more experience.


[image loading]

Q: How do you feel about Stork’s ceremony?

Flash: I don’t care how people do ceremony after winning me. I even want to applaud for Stork’s victory. But on the other hand, I did take notice of Parting’s ceremony where he used the ruler that I used for preparing my gears. It’s uncomfortable that the material of the ceremony is based on my behavior (smile). Back in the United States, I treated Parting very well. I even paid for several meals for him. He said he won’t do ceremony to me. But now he did this to me, which makes me feel betrayed. Parting was considered by many as not a beloved person but I thought him as a kind-hearted player. But now I am disappointed. It would be better if he just did a ceremony with a 'shutdown move' (smile).


Q: Any words for David Kim?

Flash: He said I can send him email, so I did several times. Several patches until now have reflected my opinions to some extent. So I don’t have more to say. David Kim probably heard too many opinions from too many sides, so he couldn’t make changes so easily. But Protoss is indeed overpowered. I think he will have solutions in the next patch.

--------------------------------------------------------

Also some news:

Now people who go to SPL studio to watch the game can earn points which can redeem for coffee, chocolate, and even Louis Vuitton handbag, and Samsung pad. In addition, now there is "Proleague Girl" show between the two matches.

The thing about Parting is amusing, haha. I guess he really takes his rulers seriously.

Also, David Kim is the one true Ruler. Anyway, MSC sight range might change some shit so we'll see!

Flash is angered at parting's betrayal! Parting going to feel god's wrath soon.

Speaking of the proleague girls. I'll leave this here courtesy of wolf.

Adorable = as short as possible? That's one way to put it I guess but I do like. But the real question is what will the girls do with their bland hair to spark Wolf's interest once more. Will they be getting some of that?

Part about Parting is hilarious btw. Either he is not serious at all or there is some serious lost in translation going on. Probably both.
