Speed translation, from chinese text, taken from http://sc.plu.cn/note/2011-06-02/29518.html, picture was from fomos so I will not copy it. Not sure if translating from chinese site contradicts the fomos ban thing so mods please close if necessary.

Q 两赛季之后回归决赛的感言
Q what are your feelings at coming back to the finals after two seasons
A 虽然这段时间不算长,但在我心中已经是很长的时间了。我备受指责说我竞技力
不如从前,我很高兴现在能让我摆脱这种指责了。
A even though this is not a long period of time, it feels like forever to
me. I've been criticized as not being as good as my past self, so I am very
happy that I can escape that criticism for now.

Q 上赛季止步32强赛让你感触良多.
Q how did you feel after last season's finish in the round of 32
A 好久没有进决赛了,我很激动。现在就像是第一次进决赛的感觉。好想快点打决
赛啊。
A It's been a long time since I've been to the finals, I'm very excited.
Right now I feel like its my first time going to a finals. I really want
to play the finals match right now

Q 4强赛是怎么准备的
Q how did you prepare for the semi-finals
A 我的手伤越来越严重了,所以上周我好好休息了一下,本周开始进行了3~4天的努
力练习。我一点都没休息,我努力地练习练到手都要断了。
A my wrist injury has been getting worse and worse, so I rested a lot last
week, starting this week I began a 3-4 day hard practice. I didn't rest
one bit, I put in a lot of effort and practiced till my hands were falling
off.

Q 上一场半决赛jaedong出局你是否遗憾
Q in the first semifinal group Jaedong lost, do you regret that?
A 总觉得很不好受。我无法用语言表达。我希望在决赛中遇到的宿敌jaedong桑苏输
了,感觉就像我自己输掉一样不好受。jaedong桑苏是优秀的选手,我觉得他总有一
天能重新打进决赛。
A I feel a bit uncomfortable with it. I can't really express it with words.
The Jaedong-hyun that I wished to meet in the finals has lost, the feeling
is just as bad as if I had lost personally. Jaedong-hyun is an excellent
progamer, I believe that one day he will definately make the finals again.


Q 和hydra的比赛取得了压倒性的胜利,对于比赛有什么感受.
Q You had an overwhelming victory against Hydra, what are your feelings.
A 我觉得对此没啥好说的。在竞技力方面很满意。我对hydra桑苏的竞技力还不是很
了解,所以没啥好说的。
A I don't really have a lot to say about this. I'm very satisfied with these
games. I still don't completely understand the way Hydra-hyun plays, so
I have no comment right now.

Q 决赛又要遇到Z,信心有多少
Q The finals is going to be another Z, how confident are you
A 虽说是有信心的,但是我还是觉得是五五开。我看了一下决赛的地图,虽然没有
对人族不利的图,但也没有对人族有利的图。前段时间我的手情况不好, 但昨天手
上的感觉又回来了,我会努力在下周打出精彩的比赛。
A even though I'm confident, I still have to say its a 50-50 chance. I saw
the maps for the finals, even though there's no maps that are unfriendly
for terran, there are no maps that greatly favor terran either. Recently
my hand's condition was not good, but yesterday the feelings in my hands
returned, I will work hard to bring exciting games next week.

Q 现在手伤的情况如何了
Q what is the condition of your hands right now?
A 据说医院已经治不了了。但是也说没有大的问题。我尽量在没有比赛的时候多多
休息,之后有时间我必须好好治疗一下了。
A Allegedly doctors can no longer completely cure it. But they also say
that it is not a huge problem right now. I am trying hard during the times
that there are no games to rest a lot, after this when I have time I need
to seriously treat it.

Q 你觉得决赛的比分会是多少
Q what do you think the score will be for the finals
A 我预计是3:1或是3:2。
A I predict either a 3:1 or 3:2.

Q 想说的话.
Q anything more you wish to say?
A 能进决赛我感到很骄傲。尝到了如此骄傲的滋味,我要比备战半决赛的时候更加
努力,要打出精彩的比赛让对手觉得“这个桑苏真的非常努力呀。”
A I'm very proud to be able to enter the finals. To savor such a flavor,
I need to prepare for this even more than I did for the semi-finals, to
play such exciting games that it makes the opponent say "this hyun* really
put in effort for this."

*TN:not sure about this part now that i think about it, its just a term to refer to someone else with respect I think

http://sc.plu.cn/


Main points to note:
Apparently flash's wrists are incurable, this may be a clock counting down to when flash may be forced to retire, as such lets root for this player who overcomes personal injury in order to deliver exciting BW for us to watch, whether you be a flash fan or not.

EDIT: from page 4

Ah, disciple was talking about the translation from the Chinese interview. I thought he was talking about the post-game MSL interview. But you were still way too hasty.

MSL post-game interview - the one Moktira linked to in the second post of the thread.

Commentator: Flash

Flash: Yes?

Commentator:Congratulations on getting into the finals. How do you feel?

Flash: Pardon?

Commentator: How do you feel about your win?

Flash: Well, first of all, although it's only been a few months, it feels like it's been quite a long time since I've been in a finals. I really practiced like it was life or death. I'll practice until my arms fall off for the finals.

Commentator: You won the first game convincingly but the second game gave you some trouble. It seems like you smiled brightly when you won the game in reflection of how the game was so hard won. What were you thinking in the midst of the game?

Flash: I was thinking a bit about the third game. I was thinking, "I shouldn't put myself in such a position in the third game". I was already doing a bit of mind control [preparing not to be mentally shaken after a loss] but the game progressed and I was able to make a comeback. When I won the game I was certain that I would advance to the finals.

Commentator: Many of your fans are looking forward to you winning the gold badge. Your opponent in the finals is Zero, what do you think about this?

Flash: When it comes to management, I think he is the top Zerg. Generally if the game becomes management vs management I am confident I will win, but when it comes to Zero I can't be certain about the outcome. That's how strong of a player he is.

Commentator: Your semifinals was a ZvT and so will the finals. It seems like this would give you some trouble when it comes to gameplan and strategies. Is there anything you'd like to say to Zero? Like a declaration of war.

Flash: I really didn't like how I was playing TvZ over and over again this MSL. When I played TvZ, I felt like my skills were really deteriorated. When I practiced I would think, "ah, how did I become like this?" So this time I really practiced until my arm swelled up. Right now I managed to bring up my skills really high. If I bring the ability I have right now to the finals, even though my opponent might be Zero, I think I can win.

Commentator: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans? Any promises and thanks you'd like to give?

Flash I really practiced until I was going to go crazy, so my arm hurts a lot right now. But every time I thought of the fans and remembered how I was knocked out early in the last tournament. I really practiced like my arm was going to break, and I'll practice even harder for the finals.

Flash's post match interview is here if someone could translate that maybe:

If in doubt, differentiate and set equal to zero

Yeah, looks like Flash knows he will retire soon. That's why he is pushing himself so hard. Want to end it in a good way.

I like how he tries to put it lightly that he doesn't understand the way Hydra plays instead of just saying he was rubbish tonight haha

I don't get this part though

to seriously treat it.

What does he mean seriously treat it? Why isn't he seriously treating it now before it gets worst and irrepairable?
I'm not the biggest flash fan, but this is causing me some serious concern over his wrist injury :/

Yes, every human-being has some weak sides. And we kept saying that Flash does not! But here we go, physical weakness that will most probably lead to his inability to play well in future. I think every genius has some weak sides, so does Flash. But I'm sure, that he will deliver many wonderful games even if the "clock is counting" as somebody have said.

Umm I guess it's something like his condition getting worse if he still keeps enduring this practice schedule while treating his wrists. When you get injury from playing sports, you have to stop playing it for a while and get treated properly. In this case Flash doesn't, because he knows if he stops he'll fall behind. That's why he had to keep pushing himself to the limit.

Right now flash can deal with his wrist injury, if he was to actually treat it, it may involve surgery, and most definately involve not playing starcraft at all for an extended period of time, to him it is unacceptable to do that with a MSL finals incoming, and a proleague post-season one round away. and sad to say, its already at the "worse and irreparable stage" so... yeah, he just wants to eek out as many titles as he can before he has to stop.

'Seriously treating' an (RSI) wrist injury is like months of resting doing nothing that would slow down the healing process (ie. playing bw at 300+ apm).

If you play through pain or by using painkillers etc it will eventually become chronic, meaning you can't ever get rid of it completely, only make it better or worse.

Thanks for the translation.

This interview has made me sad. I knew it was only a matter of time before he had to stop, but hearing it directly has really put it in place.

Flash has to win this final. It could be his last.

NOOOOOO

Hope he can take an extended break after the end of the season and come back. If not, we were still lucky to see him play.
