I've been meaning to post this a while, these Interviews are from 2 months ago but I only just got round to subbing them today. This is meant to show abit of maru's personality and why he is jokingly called the 'EXID Terran'. (EXID are a kpop group).
This group, EXID have a song called 'up and down' thats been pretty huge the past few months or so in korea and its pretty damn catchy (in korean its oui-alleh ? oui = up and alleh = down, remember that bit). Before you watch the other vids you need to be familier with the song~ + Show Spoiler +
No really, listen to the song first. So lets rewind back to January the 6th of this year. Maru beat marineking in a mech vs bio TvT on Merry go Round, and here is part of his MVP interview where the origins of his strategies are revealed to the public. (make sure to turn on subtitles) + Show Spoiler +
Isn't he cute? ^_^~ Anyway the next week wasn't so happy. Jinair faced SKT1 and Maru lost in his game vs soO but was still chosen to play the ace match where he met Dark who was able to win on king sejong, depriving us all of the MVP interview we wanted The week after that however, Jinair were up against CJ and Maru won his match against Bbyong to secure a 3-1 victory for his team. In another mech vs bio TvT, the EXID terran shows us his kpop inspired strategy yet again for defeating his opponents. + Show Spoiler +
So by my records this makes EXID 2-0 in proleague rite^^ ? (there are sections of the videos that aren't subbed well/at all and some of my subs might be wrong but the general gist is definitely there. Feel free to send me corrections and i can update them if you think anythings wrong)
Edit 25/03/15 Maru and Dream pre NSSL finals interview + Show Spoiler +
oh snap poor little Maru~~ he got nailed~~ but i feel he is coming out of his shell more and more...but like a great sc2 player keeps his skills to the battlefield...

He turns 18 in July, you have to take into consideration in korean age everybody gets 1 year older in the lunar new year, so he gets 1 year more for that, then koreans are 1 year when they are born, so they can be 2 years older until their birthday

You start at 1 year old in Korea and then you gain one year every January 1st.
Let's say you were born on June 5th 2000:
- In international age you are 14 until June 5th 2015 where you'll turn 15. - In Korean age, you are 16 since January 1st 2015 and will remain 16 until January 1st 2016.
During the period between January 1st and your birthday, you are always 2 years older in Korean age and when you birthay happens, you "catch up" to the standard 1year difference.
LOL WHAT A CUTIE. I love Canata too, you can tell he's a huge Maru fanboy, and their interviews are always awesome. Marine prince fighting! Win NSSL tonight you can do it buddy!
also, this is probably the best place to put this: the latest chapter in the Canata+Maru love story.... can you please do some subs for this OP? im dying to know what theyre saying. THX!
When I saw the title of the thread I assumed that Maru was going to be the tiger mask guy in the video. I'm disappointed. That guy seems too tall to be Maru.

So if a baby is born on 31th December, the day after he's 2 years old ?
it's funny to see how players such as flash, ty and maru grow into young adults throughout their progaming career. + Show Spoiler +
edit: also to clarify on 정상급에인도 = i guess it can be roughly translated to 'to be at the top', so in the context of the interview, canata was saying that to be a top progamer, you have to be smart.
i'd help correct more stuff but i have an exam at 9am tomorrow to study for =/
EPT
The week after that however, Jinair were up against CJ and Maru won his match against Bbyong to secure a 3-1 victory for his team. In another mech vs bio TvT, the EXID terran shows us his kpop inspired strategy yet again for defeating his opponents. + Show Spoiler +
I knew about the starting at 1 year, but didn't know that you gain a year on January 1st. Interesting, Thanks.
