Keep up the good work!
Did she just randomly show up on the patio or was Idra there too?

Awesome write up. Makes me want to go to Anaheim so badly and brush up on my Korean!

the more i think about it press conferences are almost too good of an idea not to do at future major events. exclusive interviews are good for in between events, but at huge events like this when there are so many players, and especially so many different press sites, it's pretty much a necessity to have a more organized press conference. it will be a bummer for some of the sites to not have their exclusive video content or whatever, but it would be much easier on organization in my untrained eyes

Great write up. I hope I can make it to the next mlg!

edit: sorry for asking after an entire weekend of questions, just wondering, since you said MC was actually respectful I asked MC and he said that he thinks Idra is good at macro/managing but he just needs to work on his mental psyche.
Unfortunately that's probably one of the hardest things to work on.

Why so awesome, Milkis? :D
|
This was really awesome, Milkis; easily my favorite post-MLG content. Such a great insider look into things. Thanks.
|
Second part is also awesome, but I don't understand why you had to do all of the interview translations yourself?
Were you given "exclusive" translation rights for the Koreans? I mean, it's a Starcraft convention...there has to be hundreds of Korean-Americans walking around who could jump in and help out with a player interview if you were busy on stage or something...it must have been really hard on you.

Amazing read, such a huge fan of your work. <3
|
Dude. great job man. it was a mice read and i really hope that you can make it to MLG anahiem. Good work. Question: how was the interaction between idra and mc (if there were any) after their 4-0 match?
|
MMA used to be a MMA fighter? Damn this is huge! Plz someone could show more details.
|
thanks milkis! omg I do not want to be a nosy person and talk about idra's gf but I think he deserves better =\ that is the last thing idra needs and idra would never ever act like her.
|
Thank you very much Milkis!!! Both of these were amazing reads. You did an incredible job at MLG and I sure hope they keep bringing you back!
I was worried at MLG because you were trying to figure out what race Sixjax_Major was. I told you he was terran because he used to be gositerran. For that split second I was freaking out like SHIT what if i'm wrong and I just told the Koreans the wrong thing and they screw up! lol i'm really glad I am such a nerd and know too much about starcraft or I would've felt really bad =(

What an awesome read. Thanks Milkis so much for translations!

And then I made the infamous english-english slip up T_T.

- The interesting thing was how there was so many things inbetween the events I describe above was happening. Basically although it may look rather casual and straightforward I was often needed constanlty (I would be at feature station and then in the middle of it I would be running to the main stage and then looking for a player. I kept saying how I wish I had a clone throughout the entire event. I wasn't just translating for the main stage interviews but I was constantly here and there. I know it's "cheap" to blame my slip ups on that but I was really really tired and exhausted usually by the evenings. - I did make a few mistakes in the interviews and I do apologize for that. Part of it had to do with the microphone reverberating and me not being able to catch everything so at times I just conveyed the general idea. I also actually made one big mistranslation in MMA's interview against Idra -- MMA said Idra should have more perseverance, not "be more positive". I didn't know what the word meant so I took the general idea and presented it. I promise I will work on my stamina and my Korean so that it's even better if I get to go to Anaheim!
Stop being so self-deprecating! You were 1 guy doing translations for 5 Koreans for a busy, packed 3-day event. In all of that you made 2 mistakes. We loved it, don't worry about it! It was quite obvious that you were not doing it deliberately and you were busy as hell over that weekend.
July asked me if I was going to NASL and I told him no and he said he wanted me there @_@;;;
Did you go SQUEEEEE? =P You should totally go! I hope it's not a scheduling conflict or a lack of funds =(.
After a given point Idra's girlfriend is drunk and ends up at the patio and she starts trash talking MC and MC was quite the gentleman One of the Korean players remarked that "I thought she was pretty but I was quite mistaken" lol.
WE MUST KNOW WHICH PLAYER SAID THIS!!
- If you noticed there was a lot of lag in the last few games... this was because the players got constantly invited to chat rooms by people who somehow figured out their number ID code. LosirA actually got a new ID for his game against MC but people found out what name he was using very very quickly. The final match was pretty bad because of that... It was pretty bad. Please make "Busy" mode actually block all messages, or set a "Friends only" mode where only friends can message/invite you to chats/parties please Blizzard?
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
That was what it was?! Can someone with an "in" tell Blizz =(
- MMA was extremely well mannered and a really nice guy. Disciplined and focused (he used to be a MMA fighter until 10th grade when he injured his finger and could no longer compete. WP actually asked him "If you and Incontrol got in a fight do you think you can win since you trained for MMA" and MMA was like "I learned sports to compete, not to harm other people") and honestly he's super trustworthy. There was a incident on Day 3 where LosirA and MMA had some spare time so they could have gotten back to their hotel room and LosirA was trying to convince MMA to go back to his hotel and MMA was like "Sorry I have to stay and I have to watch your replays" and LosirA tried his best to get MMA back to the hotel and MMA said he wouldn't watch the VODs and replays and he eventually just remained and he didn't watch the replays or VODs as far as I could tell. LosirA later mentioned that if MMA says something he 100% trusts it because he is that trustworthy.
Sounds like a real manner guy. I like these little snippets!

I absolutely love the insider tidbits on each progamer and the BTS occurrences. It's not surprising to hear July is like that since he is the most used to the fame and fans and whatnot.. Thank you milkis again hwaeeting~
couldn't have said it better myself
milkis you are amazing. you did so much great work, we all appreciate everything you did to make the koreans have a great/easier time here and present great games.
one thing: maybe it's cause I didn't watch a lot of MLG, but who are Alyssa, Josh, Lee, etc? I know they are MLG employees but what do they do? any pics?

Really interesting read, it's cool to see your point of view. Please don't stop translating, it's amazing to have people like you who can help to bridge the language barrier between the communities.

Holy crap, sounds like you went through a lot of work, nicely done. I hope the Koreans had a good time, really would like to see them come back (MMA to defend his title would be sick). Also I can't believe how many messages they must of been getting to lag like that.
IdrA's girlfriend sounds like a class act

It was pretty intense the stuff that people pulled off... MMA actually got invited to a game by someone with the same ID as the casters and inside the game was the other caster and someone with the same ID as LosirA. He quickly figured out it was a fake and left though but yeah, people were pretty elaborate in the stuff they pulled off ~_~

Lee is in charge of a lot of stuff :O his twitter is @mlglee and he's the executive producer... Alyssa (@mlgcuz) is the Player manager. Josh (@clutch08) was a production assistant i believe.
