Hello everyone, this is Hajin, your NW5 host.
I learned that the final interview hasn't been entirely on stream because of connection's issues so I thought I would organize an interview afterward with the players in a more casual way.
MMA, soO and INnoVation will be here to talk with you, today at 9pm KST (2pm CET) on twitch.tv/hajinsun!
I've started gathering community's questions on Twitter, if you have some more, please comment in this topic.
My goal here is to make it easier for the players to communicate with their foreigner fans, with whom they can't really communicate due to language and cultural barriers.
I know it's a bit late, sorry, I am not used to Reddit/TL etc yet. Hope to see you in 2 hours to chat with the Korean players!
Thanks Hajin

Awesome. You were great at NW5, will be tuning in!
As for questions... I'd like to know what soO thinks about Serral's level and if he thinks he is close to KR Zerg level yet. Would also like to know if soO thinks the current Zerg have an answer to the Terran late game Ghost + Raven combo aside from stopping it to happen.

Thank you for your good work Hajin !
My question goes to every players : do they regret the lack of team leagues ? I'm not specifically talking about team houses with coaches and Kespa rules but more about the actual tournaments.
For instance, I remember with deep affection MMA playing for SlayerS in GSTL and I want to thank all of them for their long standing careers.
Thank you!
edit : I submitted the event to the TL calendar, I hope it's OK for you and the mods.

Awesome! We need more like this. Thanks a bunch!
|
Hajinsun you're great !
i'd like to see the view of INno toward TvZ meta (ghost raven : why he isn't using it a lot) and TvP meta (without troll please, si tu peux lui demander ce qu'il changerait...)
Also à quel niveau MMA pense pouvoir revenir en s’entraînant, pense t il réellement retrouver son niveau d’antan (will MMA expect to be as strong as before he was)

WARNINGS: I transcripted for the fun, i'm not pro, and not a good english speaker. don't take it like a pro transcript ^^
In tchat OG-Haz informed that there is in fact 3 NW trophee, so each player has its own.
MMA found his performance worthless
Soo was suprised about the crowd, he thought it would be empty. MMa was touched, Inno is thankful, amazing crowd.
MMA expected more crowd, like in Iron squid
"What it means to you to represent your country ?"
sc2 is individual, i missed team league. Inno: there is no more team ligue, i liked in this tournnament than we can rely on each other. soO : he is lying, i didn't get the feeling that he was relying on us. MMA: I was chosen by public choice and it is a tournament with the fans. without them sc2 couldn't exist. so thank youu
"did Utherlam and Harstem level surprise you ?"
soO : even if I lost against them, I think actually that uThermal was better before INno: I think uThermal and Harstem are great. When I saw marc playing agasint MMa and soo I thought he s great
MMA: they've already practiced in Korea so they know how to play against us. we didn't expect uthermal to come first
what do you think about serral level ? close to korean zergs ?
soO: he is really good, the best for, if I had lost against him our team might have lost, but i was better
INno: I thought he would be good but I i'm disappointed. Even MMA could have won against him (lol inno)
then buuuug
Hajin : why you didn't manner mule ? INno: harstem was next and he is scary
if you had to send 3 players to NW, the strongest, who will they be ?.
MMA: Maru, INno, Byun (then soO instead of Byun, because soO is pouting)
soO: Maru, Stats, Rogue.
Hajin: is Stats stronger than Classic?
soO: i'd rather see Stats than Clascsic caause i would be jalous
INno: MMa soO and INnoVation. This 3 will gonna be in top of ladder next year.
fans don't get to know you... "what are your best memory of all your carreer ?"
MMA: nation wars
INno: this victory of NW.
soO: NW victory moment. Kespa cup also, only tournament i have won
Hajin: and you MMA, with individual tournaments ?
MMA: blizzcon 2d place, 2015
INno: -lol he is looking at his wall of trophies and bring one- my favorite trophy : I won against sOs in the Finals, 2013 (so its his WCS end of season) title
MMA and INno taunted soO: they can't remember with all their victory, it's easier for soO who have just won one.
"If you were going back to childhood and could choose another job, will you go progammer again ?"
INno: progamme again
MMa: too
soO: I wouldn't be a pgm again, I like studying -laugh- I'd would become a prosecutor attorney
Hajin: how do you see the future of sc2 in Korea ?
soO: bright futur, Blizzard love this game. If there are players, i think it will go on ! INno: for me it's the contrary... for a game to live, it ,needs new players. MMA: honestly, I think it's hard to say. there is a new arcade map, i thinkj Blizzard is trying hard and sc2 will be popular again.
Hajin: anything to say to new player ? how can they enjoy the game ?
MMA: sc2 is a really fun game the more you play. even if it's hard i, the beginning, you can begin by the campagin.
INno: user's maps are funnier to play than 1v1 ladder, it's a hard game. if you play 1 or 2 game per day to enjoy it's good/
soO: my friends didn't watch sc2 before but they came once to the studio to watch, I think if you enjoy watching, you will like playing.
MMA: do they play zerg ?
soO: no cause when they came they soO me lose every time so they don't play zerg. they say you can smoke, you can drink, but don't play zerg.
hajin: if you can go past and change race choice, what race will it be
MMA : protoss INno: protoss. I would be 1.2 time better than now.
soO: protoss too. easier.
Hajin: what do you think of raven ghost ?
soO: there is nothing to do against that build, even dark is clueless, not just me.nerf terran
INno: I think terrans need a buff. Zerg are just not good to deal with ghost raven
MMA: I don't think terran need nerf. game is balanced, maybe we could change something. but please save terran.
"do you play any other game ?
INno: League of Legends soO: too
But the best LoL player is... both are saying they are the best.
do something surprised you during your stay in France ?
INno: La bise pour dire bonjour. It's like a cheek kiss, but you touch with both cheek, not real kiss. It surprised INno the most.
MMa: yea same, I'm curious, who invented that, I wish we could do the same in Korea, its better than handshake, more familair.
soO: i was surprised because lot of people of different cultures, are outside together drinking in the evening, it's different korea.we don't see a lot of people drinking outside in the evening.
hajin: inno vs special again, who would win ?
INno: I would win.
SpeCial (yeah he is in the tchat) : LUL. then special said he was lucky to win against inno.
Now let's talk about the players themselves
what's your favorite starcraft unit ?
MMa: medipac soO: Hydra INno: didn't understand
if you could have one IRL unit... ?
MMa: Thor for protecting me. soO: a zergling. a pet. INno: a medivac, he can be a good friend.
favorite place that you traveled to?
MMa: France soO: France and Sweden (not sure for sweden) INno: Shangaï and paris.
Favorite foreign food ?
MMA: it's german pork dishe soO: hamburger INno: I like steaks, cause i do a lot of sport and i need protein -LOOOL-
hajin: since arrived in paris, INno immediately asked if they was a gym, he is doing a lot of workout. (omygod this is good stuff xD)
favorite foreign singer ?
MMA: One call away from Charlie Plouss? i can't understand soO: eren faw ? LM faow ? LMFAO ?
INno: Charlie cooper ? like Mma ? i can't understand lol
Are you famous in Korea ? simple game star, superstar?
MMA: never happened to me, but INno it happened like 5 time, people stop to take photo in the streets.
soO: I think some people recognise me in the street sometimes.
MMA since you went to the army do youhave some advices for the younger ?
Anyway you have to go, so keep good mindset (or something like that)
talking about army, you have to go before 30. soO sill have 2years so it's ok.
Do one of you have a crush on an esport related girl ? oooh not good question because all of them have a girlfriend (oooh i didn't knew that)
liquidthermy (in tchat) : tell innovation i love him.
Hajin: why korean taunt themselve so much, while foreigner don't . have you something fun to say to foreigner ? just like you taunt each others
INno: foreigners are not very good so they need to gather and don't taunt each others. Korean are so strong they can taunt each other soO: even if I fcan't win in Korea, abroad I could win easily MMA: I don't have the level to talk yet. Foreigner are doing great, I hope in next GSL vs The Wolrd it will be better.
Hajin say to inno that marc (uthermal) love him INno: it's not the case for me, cause he beat me twice at IEM. liquithermy: shit, I dug my own grave
Hajin: why aren't you more active on social media ?
INno: I don't like them.
then they thanks everyone, MMA liked NW, and liked the talkshow. soO liked the tournament, he hope there will be more tournament like this. INno really enjoyed this year, hope to be in next year, thanking everyone involved etc.
Then they laugh about their french "à nous la victoire (to us victory) that they failed to say at NW.
"agio" is a korean term for a gilrl acting like cute (fake cute) and Hajin asked if they had a "agio" in their team and they instantly said "INnoVation"
and its over !

So nice too bad I can't watch it Some love for protoss haha
|
cool show Hajin, was interesting to hear more from the players. also nice you asked both my questions
|
Hope you enjoyed it! It's quite hard to keep it dynamic when you have to translate after each sentence. I tried to live translate it by typing it but asking the questions and doing this wasn't really doable. I will try to have interviews of this kind with other players as well! Thanks for watching
|
Awesome! Thanks, Hajinsun! ^-^
|
Thank you Hajin and thank you for the script Mun_Su !
|
You're welcome Serimek !
@Hajinsun, it was great stuff, I hope to see more of it It was interesting to see that you translated by typping in english while they talked, it keeped that really "alive", without pause.
