EGJYP

You scored two kills as the ace, tell us your thoughts

It took longer than I expected for me to make an appearance in GSTL. I didn’t think I would be nervous but it was as bad as GSL. I am happy to have taken two wins for the team to advance to Round 2. I want to congratulate Cella for advancing to Round 2.

How does it feel to be the one cleaning up for your team? (T/N: previously, the question was: "This is the first case of a player from an allied team acting as the ace and winning." TiG fixed it after they realised Huk had already won as the ace for oGs-TL last year)

To be the one cleaning up with the team on the verge of defeat, I thought to myself “ah, this is how the teamleague is supposed to be”, it was truly electrifying. I am glad to be able to share the joy of victory with the teammates.

Were you planned as the ace?

No. I just thought I could win against Line who is a Zerg. Seeing the line up ZeNEX, there wasn’t a suitable Terran left. So, I believed that I could finish up.

How does it feel to be in GSTL after such a long time?

I think GSTL must be exciting for the fans and even for the players, there’s a different kind of fun to be had compared to an individual league. A team victory is something different to what you experience in an individual league.

EG could have participated as its own team, don’t you regret this?

The foreign players are not all in Korea and only a small number is coming over so participating as our own team would have been too difficult. Rather, teaming up with SlayerS works to our advantage. On top, when a foreign tournament is on at the same time, our players tend to leave Korea so it’s very difficult for us to be in GSTL as a team.

Your PvT is rather terrible with a 9% win rate.

Once upon a time, I was confident in my PvT but suffering loss after loss, I think I’ve developed some kind of traumatic disorder. My win rate in practice is okay so as long as I get over this, I should do fine.

Your PvZ, on the other hand, is excellent

I do want my PvZ to be better than that of any other Protoss (T/N: pfft, we’ll see what Hero has to say about that). Then, I won a bunch of PvZs and with that momentum, I am cruising along.

Did you not wish to take on Life?

I faced him once in February but he seems a lot better now compared to then. I did think taking him on would be fun. However, our team has many players who are good at vZ so another player would have sufficed. So, I wasn’t too disappointed about not being able to face him.

You have some time off now, how will you spend it?

I am currently studying for my high school certificate test. As a result, I have been practising a lot less but still did okay today. I want to thank Cella for sending me out despite my shortage of practice. I think I will have to use the time I have left to keep preparing for the exam.

Anything to add?

I keep hearing that my PvT is too weak out of the three matchups but I will soon overcome this. I hope you have faith in me and keep watching. We’re on a break until the end of the week and since I made it possible, I hope everyone enjoys it as much as they can.

Thank you so much for the translation, but please don't add translator's notes like this (T/N: pfft, we’ll see what Hero has to say about that). I don't really think it's great if the translator puts his own opinions into the translation ;;

edit: Don't get the wrong idea even if I sounded mean above, I'm still really grateful for translating interviews

Yeah because a translator is comprising his role as a journalist by doing such a thing
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

They're wrong about being the first allied player ace, HuK won for oGs-TL beating MarineKing last year

With this amount of effort I think you're free to insert whatever you feel like, but I will just add that Hero would probably say: "Yeah, JYP is the best" after losing to a Z yesterday.. ^^

Thanks for the translation.

But the interviewer is wrong regarding the first time a member of an allied team has come in as an ace and won. EGHuK (then LiquidHuK) came in for oGs-TL and beat MKP mid-last year in the 2011 GSTL S1.

But couldn't he do the exactly same thing in the comments and leaving the actual translation opinion free? Ofcourse this way his opinion wouldn't get the same amount of attention as it would otherwise.

Well, if I hadn't put T/N there and passed it off as part of the actual interview, I think there would be a problem but you can clearly tell that this is my own opinion and ignore it if you disagree. Hero's my favourite player and I'll hype him up if I feel like it.

Yup, they changed the question since I translated. I'll change it also.

um, so it's not ok to want to be the best in a match up? why is there this comment so out of place? If you want to clarify something because of translation issues it's ok to write that but this is not the case here. He didn't even say that he is the best pvZer right now

Mmm that's actually a good point. I prefer it this way instead of just outright lying in the translation about what someone said. edit:But you could also hype him up down in the comments.

no one said it's not okay for someone to want to be the best in a match up. If you had exercised your brain just a little bit harder, you would have been able to understand what I was saying: in my opinion and mine only, I believe Hero is the best PvZer by far and he would have good reason to say something like "lol, good luck with that, JYP".

To anyone else who wants to fight me over this issue, while I agree that inserting an opinion into a post is what a journalist, rather than a translator, is supposed to do, I'm not a professional translator. I am paid by no one and receive no recognition from anyone for what I do. In fact, I even gave up the translator icon because this lets me translate whatever the hell I want without worrying about copyright (not that I care that much about the icon). So let this serve as a disclaimer that I will continue to insert whatever opinion I want into my work and if you don't like it, you are free to learn Korean or find your own translator. Hell, my work is 98% translation and 2% opinion. Is it really that hard for you to just ignore what you don't agree with? How do you live your life with such a soft mind?

edit: and no, I will not quote my own translation to leave a comment in my own post to express an opinion I have. That feels weird.

People: Storywriter's comments are awesome. Untie your panties, please, they are far more functional when unknotted.

Also: JYP, I hate you for knocking Zenex down, but WP :D

people need to stop complaining and leave storywriter alone. I think he's doing a great job of translating and he's doing it all on his own free time. storywriter even takes translation requests, how awesome is that?
