English translation of a video from Ever Starleague 2007 (the video has some nice pictures of progamers' childhoods!):



00:03 [Hwasin]
When I was a child, I thought I was kinda cute, but some other people didn't think so. I wanna be the best Terran of 2007, and to do that I need a title; so I wanna beat UpMagic at the round of 8 and go to to the round of 4 and eventually the final.

00:30 [UpMagic]
When I was a child, I think I was really cute...not much so today? I really didn't have much thought about becoming a progamer back then. I wanted to do a lot of things-studying, magic...but I don't regret becoming a progamer. I don't think I have much self-confidence, but people around me encourage me a lot. With that encouragement, I am starting to believe in myself more.

00:53 [Jaedong]
When I was a child, from what I've been told, I was really cute. I've been told that when shopping around the mall, employees would give me a hug and stuff. I wanna accomplish once-in-a-life time opportunity like Royal Road, and I also wanna be a legend of e-sports that will go down in the history.

01:15 [Light] <-- I'm not sure if this is Light or not! Can someone confirm or correct?
When I was a child, I looked a lot different from how I look today. I was just regular, obedient kid. I am doing what I wanna do, and I always do my best to see the end of things. Now my goal is to become the best progamer.

01:29 [Savior]
I don't happen to have my child pictures here. When I was a child, I wanted to become a soccer player. But now looking back, it's fun to be a progamer. I've always put my best effort, and I just wanna continue and spend a meaningful time as a progamer.

01:56 [Bisu]
When I was a child...well, I don't remember anything! I've grown a little, and if I win the round of 8 I think the round of 4 and the final will be easier. I've wanted to win OSL but I've lost at the round of 8 a lot. I wanna go on to the round of 4 and the final and win.

02:24 [Stork]
When I was a child--I've heard a lot of things from my parents, so I know my child personality very well--I was this outrageous, disobedient, crying kid who threw fit and stuff. But I consider that an attractive personality! I have a lot to go on, and nowadays I think I've got over-confident. I know it well myself, so I think I wanna be the best progamer through this OSL. Mom and dad, I will win this time!

02:53 [Flash]
[Mom] Looking the same? [Flash] I look the same...maybe a little different. When I was a child, I was a kid who did nothing but playing sports. I really loved sports and would spend all night playing soccer. [Mom] Flash, I hope that you would do better and accomplish better record, fighting! [Flash] I thank my parents for supporting me all the time, and the only way to pay back is do good and I will indeed do good.

I think he's almost done with high school. He's been coupling high school work and progamer work (I don't know how the dude does is...), once he graduates he be more dominant???

Stork was the funniest. Flash was the most ironic.
