You guys know me. I couldn't resist.

untranslated interview:
+ Show Spoiler +


Me: 一次又一次你在战场证明了你的实力,升级了。你过去在WCS H组有没有什么疑问?
MacSed :没什么疑问,我想能赢SEN基本稳出线。
Me: 你在今年1月底输给台湾虫王,Sen 2-1,你这下子打败它的时候,有什么后感?有什么话跟杨家政说吗?
MacSed :运气是我实力的全部.
Me: 我不得不问一个跟瓜哥一样敏感的问题:你的家人对你的职业怎么感觉?当初怎么样?WC3的那个时代。
MacSed :我家人很支持我.所以才能达到今天这个成绩,谢谢你们.
Me: 当你发现了NASL关门了的时候,你有什么感想?你毕竟去过他们那边的现场。
MacSed :觉得很可惜,..但是我只想打好自己的比赛,其实在哪里比赛都无所谓.
Me: 给我们解释一下你的职业电竞最开心的一天,我们很想听。
MacSed :胜利的时刻.双拳紧握,对就是这个时刻
Me: 你觉得星际II有什么不平衡的地方?
MacSed :个人觉得还好把..我一般不考虑平衡的问题,因为这个我无法改变.只要有一个同族的选手在世界前端,我都觉得自己失利完全是自己问题.
Me:你的星际II最厉害的成就是什么?
MacSed :NGF冠军把,影响最深刻.
Me: 除了WCS之外,你最盼望哪一个星际II比赛?你最想参加哪一个中国国外的比赛?
MacSed :DH还有IEM这些大型比赛...因为高手很多
Me: 你有一个特别不喜欢的对手吗?像过去的IdrA和MC一样吗?
MacSed :没有.
Me: 你最喜欢的飞韩选手是谁?为什么呢?
MacSed :目前没有。
Me: 你最不喜欢那一张地图是?
MacSed :Daedalus Point
Me:你最喜欢的演员是谁?歌手呢?为什么?
MacSed :没有。。
Me: 你最喜欢的菜是什么?
MacSed:能吃就好,没有最喜欢。
Me: 有什么结束语要跟你的西方的粉丝说吗?
MacSed :谢谢你们的支持,我会好好加油打出更精彩的比赛。

me:Time and again you have proven your strength on the battlefield and advanced. Did you have any doubts about WCS Group H?
MacSed:I didn't have any doubts. My thinking was that if I beat sen I was basically guaranteed to advance.
me: Earlier this year in January you lost to sen 2-1 [at the Redbull ECL in Beijing], this time you beat him what were your afterthoughts? Do you have anything to say to Yang Jia Zheng?
MacSed: Luck is my greatest strength.

me:I can't help but ask a question that is so sensitive, one that I asked Xigua: How does your family feel about your career? How was it in the beginning in the warcraft 3 era?
MacSed: My family is very supportive of me, so I could reach today's achievements. Thank you [my family].

me:How did you feel when you found out that NASL closed down? After all, you've been to their live events.
MacSed: I thought it was pretty sad... But I just want to play in this tournament, where it is located does not matter.

me: Please tell us about your happiest day in eSports, how did you feel?
MacSed: It was just when I was victorious. I clenched both of my fists, it has just been this short time all along.

me: Do you think there are any imbalanced parts of SC2?
MacSed: My own thoughts are that it's just fine now. I usually don't think of questions of balance because there's no way for me to fix it. As long as there is a player of the same race in front of me, then I believe whether I win or lose is all my fault.

me:What do you think was your greatest achievement with Sc2?
MacSed: That should be the day when I took the Nvidia Gaming Festival championship in 2012. It had the deepest influence on me.

me: Besides WCS, which tournaments are you looking forward to the most? Which wants do you want to participate in the most?
MacSed: Dreamhack and IEM, these two tournaments. Because there are so many high level players.

me: Do you have any particularly unliked players? Something like IdrA and MC?
MacSed: No.

me: Who is your favorite non-Korean competitor? Why?
MacSed: Presently, I don't have one.

me: Which map is your most unliked map?
MacSed: [this is funny because I asked in Chinese and he answered in English] Daedalus point.

me: Who is your favorite actor? Singer? Why?
MacSed: I don't have any.

me: What is your favorite food?
MacSed: As long as I can eat, I'm just fine, I don't have any favorites.

me: Do you have any parting words to tell your western fans?
MacSed: Thank you all for your support, I will continue to do my best to qualify for more tournaments!

Thanks for the interview. It would be awesome to see Chinese players at something like IEM or DH, hopefully they can make it happen.

in the "你最喜欢的飞韩选手是谁?", "飞" should be "非", minor typo but overall nice interview.

I would love to translate another interview about MacSed today, because of this line:

+ Show Spoiler +
问:有趣的问题,Toodming淘汰了Scarlett,你懂的
答:这...已报仇。

Q: Here's a interesting question: Toodming advanced by beating Scarlett, you know...
A: Well...I've done my revenge(against Toodming).

It seems Macsed and scarlett are pretty good friends lol

It's weird that you asked him in Chinese and he still offered no opinions

He must be afraid of being judged a certain way by foreign community.

He definitely has a favorite actor/food/competitor etc etc

No man is that robotic

I also dont have a fav actor/food/competitor. I guess its the way he worded it. He could just say I like all foods (like me), and Tasteless also doesnt have someone he idolizes, he just takes the best out of everybody and tries incorporating it into himself.

yeah i guess its just the way he worded it.

If you were getting interviewed, I'm sure you would offer some part of you....

Maybe interviewers should give them a heads up about the questions instead of putting them on the spot. I want some juicy personal details

Chinese professionals of any sort don't like to express any partisan opinion in public in general. They usually only speak out about something if it's of some importance with an immediate tangible impact. Just part of the mainland social mentality "stay out of trouble and mind your own business".

Got to know MacSed and XiGua a little bit when they played for my WC3 team briefly. Wish I would have stayed in touch with them, haha =D

Great to see them both having success! Hope they can take Chinese gaming to a new level!
