Why? Because he's awesome, and because the GSL would not be the same (or nearly as epic) without him =)
Q. Why is Junkka so awesome?
A. Along with everything else said in this thread so far, he picks out questions for the interview and only a baller would pick questions by posters like "BigDongStudio", "SlayerS_BoneR" etc. etc. Only Junkka would brush aside the presentation ceremony to let us know that the trophy is indeed heavy, and that NesTea may be as tall or even taller than himself! - hdkhang
John's New Kneepad!!! (he lacked suitable seating for quite a while)
Junkk... who? GOM.TV's official translator, general assistant, bracket-maker, "hamster on the wheel that keeps the English stream running", and the duct tape that keeps the entire GSL from falling apart under its own weight. In short - he's a nerd baller of monstrous, legen... (wait for it) DARY proportions!
Korean/legal name - "준카" or "박준규" (need confirmation); John is his Catholic name, after John the Baptist (per his Tweets)

This is fantastic. TL needs to have people sign it, frame it, and send to Junkka. :D
NEW PLAN! Post your signature in Black on a White background, and I'll Photoshop it in. Thanks to Vinn and Maul for this idea, which will result in a higher quality picture.

Can we get a list on the OP for people who've signed it?
I'm sure you could find his FB page if you want, but that's just creepy; quit asking me, I'm not going to list it here. Msg him on Twitter or something.

John's Epic Speech during the GSL S2 Finals Awards Ceremony
+ Show Spoiler +http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSrwHoQ1TAM&feature=player_embedded
I'm gonna be talking my own things now as there isn't anything important to translate.
First of all I'd like to say I have a great respect for NesTea not just because he won the tournament but because this guy had the courage to do what he wanted to do and proved he was right. I'm saying this because too many people even in Korea consider playing games is a waste of time. I, myself, was unemployed for 2 years *laughs*, 'bout a year and a half before I joined GOM. All I did was play games at home and my friends would say that I'm wasting my life. Well... uhm.. who's laughing now ? I asked them " Can you honestly say that you like your job " and I asked them " Do you have a fan who draws a fanart just for you ? ". That shuts them up.
So everytime you feel ashamed of being a nerd and your friends, teachers, neighbours and even parents think gaming is a waste of time you'll remember there's no such thing as wasting life as long as you have the courage to do what you like and be passionate about it. You'll remember, if NesTea listened to all those critics he wouldn't be standing there with a trophy and you'll remember that even if you feel nobody around you supports you that I, Jay, Artosis and Tasteless, everyone in GOM will support you. Why? Because we believe in eSports. *someone in the backgroud : "wow" *Junkka laughs* "I actually prepared this".
Sorry if I butchered any words.
(Thank you Mooose)
John's Clarification About GOM/Gretefch/KeSPA
+ Show Spoiler +Ok now I see where all the misunderstanding is coming from.
Gretech is GOMTV. GOM stands for Gretech Online Media. We tried to contribute by making a tournament called GOMTV Classic(and it was first tournament anyone in Korea tried to broadcast to the rest of the world) but KESPA comes inand says we do not have the right to make tournaments when they don;t even pay copyright to Blizzard. They threaten all pro players that they will lose their license i they play in GOM Classic and manages to shut down GOM classic. Now we run GSL which we also send out English broadcast. And you say we have contriubted nothing? well maybe we would have done more if KESPA really did care about esports.
I can give credit to OGN and MBC but not Kespa. KESPA is an organization made of representives from sponsors not gaming fans. The esports todays exists because of the players and fans who support it. All Kespa has been doing is abuse their power to earn money. They forced OGN and MBC to pay 1500million KRW to broacast SC. Now they still won't pay Blizzard its copyright and offers 300 million to have all the right to SC tournaments and broadcasting. No wonder most Korean SC fans including myself hate KESPA.
I was absolutely outraged when I read the article about what Kespa did to NaDa after he joined SC2. NaDa probably contributed to esports 1000times more than Kespa and that's how they treat him.
I'm not saying Gretech is right and Kespa is wrong because I work for GOM. There is no right and wrong in reality. But I'd rather support GOM which tries to care for global fans even though it's small and underfunded rather than Kespa which doesn't give a damn about global fans cuz most sponsors don't see any merit in it. I really wish situation hadn't come to this, causing disturbance to fans all over the world, but there seems little choice left now.
John is a Hero
+ Show Spoiler +When I watch the GSL who am I waiting for? Is it Tasteless? Artosis? Tastosis the casting archon? Well, yes, but I"m also waiting for everybody's favorite translator, John. (Well, not his real name, but John is a good enough generic John name) Well, everybody's favorite translator, Junkka :DD ![[image loading]](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_6EMwzyQJk0I/TT-ZuWYi2JI/AAAAAAAACBI/DCgud1SHTT8/s800/Fullscreen%20capture%201252011%2074849%20PM.jpg) There are many reasons John is a hero, so let me get started 1) He translates for winners 2) He goes out with artosis 3) He has an epic coat 4) He makes me even more interested in korean 5) He deals with troll names on the forums 6) He's humble 7) He puts up with lots of junk 8) He speaks his mind 9) he gives epic speeches John has stated that information on http://www.johnfacts.com/ is incorrect more than half the time, so that shouldn't be your source of information about john! He repeatedly stops that username trolls, he is quite cool, and translates to make korean interpretable to our chobo ears I am a John Fan. I know many of you are as well. I appreciate his translation services, his dealing with trolls, his excellent style, and his excellent manner :D
