Well, first of all, he doesn't even seem mad. Second of all, I feel like he has good reason to be peeved given the circumstances

I can't tell from the translation, was it that he was embarrassed about making fun of the ruler or was he just offended that he did a ceremony at all?

Because mocking someone after your win is good sportmanship ?

I think the ruler thing was a little too personal for him, but I don't think he is really upset. I imagine him laughing while answering this question and while I'm sure he wants to pay Parting back, it's all good fun.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

As always, some chunk of the community acts like they've never seen a woman before.

On a different note, although my prediction was initially that Flash would retire within a year, I hope that the patch makes him much more motivated.

To be honest, I felt that Partings ceremony wasnt a big deal, but the fact that they replayed that ceremony over and over in the round 1 of proleauge as a highlight is just insulting. A joke can be funny once, maybe twice, after the 10th time its just annoying and the fact that its a joke that is making (sort of) fun of somebody else, repeating it is becoming an insult.
An Esports fan, playing SC2 and LoL because they are fun. Huge fan of mapmaking, Cloud Kingdom = best map ever made EVER.

See, this is why Flash was so good in bw: Be aware of weaknesses and strength's and overcome what seems imbalance with training harder. This is the right attitude.

You say this but in previous interviews he has been pretty whiny. I remember back not too long after the KeSPA switch Flash was already whining about Protoss :/.

Yes, he has, but even then he also talked a lot about his weaknesses and strengths. In BW he never really whined though, he just conquered all, so that's definitely a bad change when he switched to SC2. It must be frustrating to be clearly the best at some point, but then suddenly all the rules change and you're "just a great player". The matchup that changed the most for him is probably TvP, so it makes sense that he feels the least comfortable playing that, hence his complaints.

But thanks for the translation, it's good to read he's still motivated to do better

There has never been anything wrong with whining. If he felt like Protoss was unfair, sure, he can voice his opinions in hopes that Blizzard will see it and get it changed. If it affects how he's practiced, and how he approaches the game, that's a different thing. There's been no evidence that just cause he feels that Protoss is imba, that it changed how he practices and looks at the game.

3 More translated Q/A for you guys :D

Source:
+ Show Spoiler +
Q:雷神好像被卡在建筑中间了

A:我太紧张了,本来是不会的,从上一场比赛开始我就突然变得异常紧张,必须要保持轻松才能打好。看来我的心理调整还不够。

Q:KT在第二轮取得了2连胜的战绩

A:我们队取得了一个好的开始。我想我们会继续这种气势的。第一轮的时候我们就打得很好,第二轮我们的水平还稍微差了些。我觉得这是非常重要的因素,所以我们必须要快点提高水平,找回自信才行。

Q:最后要说的话

A:我有点找不到感觉了。Fans都很担心我,其实不用这样。只要我找到感觉了就行。敬请大家期待这一刻吧。希望我能重现像第一轮那样优秀的表现。



Q: Your Thor seems to got stuck in between the production buildings.
A: I was too nervous, usually this won't happen. Ever since last match I have became really nervous. I must relax more. I think I have not maintain my condition enough.

Q: KT have gotten 2 back to back wins in Round 2.
A: Our team has got a good start. I think we will continue with this momentum. Since Round 1, we have been playing really well. But in round 2, our levels have dropped down a little. I think these are all very important element, so we must raise our level and find our confidence back.

Q: Any last word?
A: I think I have lost the touch. The fans are worried for me. But don't worry, as long as I can find the feel for the game again, it will be alright. Hope everyone will wait for that moment to come. Wish for my good performance like Round 1.
