8tv quickie, dota, kingsurf, ks, malaysia

Due to the unbelievable performance they displayed on ESWC Grand Finals in San Jose, Wei Hong (KS-Yamateh), Yong Chia (KS-x|aOmA), and Kim Jen (KS-Sakura) attended a TV interview on "LIVE TV show tonight with 8TV".

As for KS fans who are having difficulty understanding the interview, myMYM has created a full chatlog with proper translations of the interview. Enjoy.

 


bold black = interviewer, black = x|aoma

This is how the interview went:

2:03     So Team Kingsurf, can you introduce yourself please?

2:06     My name is Yong Chia and I am 20 years old(x|aoma). My name is Wei Hong and I am 18 years old(yamateh). My name is Kim Jen and I am 20 years old(sakura).

2.17     And you have all your Kingsurf name printed on your shirt. You're called, xiaoma. And then you?

2.24     Yamateh

2.27     Yamateh! And then??

2.28     Sakura

2.29     Sakura! Wow so girly.

*laughs*

2.33     Ok so first of all, congratulations. I heard that you guys are the Malaysian champion for the ESWC 2008 in Malaysia and you went to San Jose in America, and you guys won 2nd place! Not bad huh?

2.47     It's quite okay la

2.50     And also, I heard you all won a lot of money also huh? How much did you all won?

2.55     Err.. 8000 USD separated into 5 each.

3.00     Wow. Remember your mum always told you not to play game, but you can actually earn money from playing games.

3.09     That's right

3.10     So you're all professional gamers now?

3.12     Yes

3.13     Ok tell us how you guys started out. Since you guys are still young, how did you started out playing the game?

3.21     What do you mean? You mean the formation of the team or...?

3.24     No, just like, do you play the game as a hobby?

3.27     Yeah, as a hobby

3.28     And how did you become a team?

3.32     Actually, we already knew each other in the lan shop. Then, we try to play together and ended up forming a team together.

3.43     How do you actually form a team? Do you have to find all the good players and form a team? Or do you find people with different specialty to form a team? I have no idea what DotA is all about. What is DotA all about?

3.56     Errr...

4.01     What do you need to do in the game? Is it like killing people and stuff?

4.08     Yeah we have to kill people and in the end we got to destroy the opponent's "throne"

4.13     Ok. It's alright. I don't understand it sorry. But we have a caller who wants to talk to you guys. Maybe a pro gamer as well, so, let's take the call. Hello...

4.29     "Hello"

4.30     Hi there

4.31     "Hi"

4.33     Hi, who are we talking to?

4.34     "I am Afifa"

4.36     Afifa, hello, can you hear us?

4.41     "Yes I can hear you"

4.43     Afifa can you move away from your TV? Opps something just dropped.

*hung up*

4.50     Oh no, I think we just lost Afifa. Ok, back to you guys. Oh you guys are so comfortable now. Sigh why is my just difficult. Ok, we have actually some pictures here of you guys at the games. Maybe you guys can explain to us about what's happening here. Let's see the pictures.. Wow. You guys met the Prime Minister of Malaysia

5.32     Yeah

5.33     What did he said to you guys?

5.35     He said "gambateh"

5.38     Did he actually said "gambateh"?

5.40     Nah, he just asked us to try our best in San Jose

5.48     Yeah ok. Because you guys are actually representing Malaysia..

5.49     Yeah

5.50     Any other pictures? Next one?

5.55     Ok. This is "Team Kingsurf at San Jose". How was it? Was it your first time in an international competition?

6.04     Well, not the first time. But it's our first time to the US.

6.11     Ok.. Next picture.. What is this?

6.14     This is the place where the tournament is held

6.18     Oh.. So this is the convention centre where the competiton is held

6.20     So how was it? Was it difficult? Ah okay. You guys came in second at the grand finals. Who came in first? Can't remember?

6.33     It was team Singapore

6.35     So it's a fight between Malaysia and Singapore. Wow, how was the final fight?

6.42     Actually we were leading at first but we lost due to some of the mistakes we did

6.49     Oh okay. So this game is based on strategy?

6.52     Yeah. We need good teamwork, strategy and lots of tactics.

6.57     Why are the both of you just smiling and not talking? Ok Sakura.. So how was the competition for you? First time in the States?

7.12     Yeah.

7.13     Were you nervous?

*silence*

7.19     How long did you need to train before you went to the competition?

*silence*

7.21     Ni men yao wan duo jiu le cai ke yi qu bi sai? (How long did you need to train before you went to the competition?)

7.28     Jiu shi yao training la (Yeah we need to train)

7.29     Yao training duo jiu neh? Yi tian wan game duo jiu neh? (How long is the training? How many hours do you play a day?)

7.32     Yi tian training da gai shi ge xiao shi (Daily training is approximately ten hours)

7.36     SHI GE XIAO SHI (10 HOURS). They play for 10 hours a day! Oh my god.. Ni men you ni peng you ma? Mama mei you ma ni men ah? (Do you guys have girlfriend? And your mum doesn't scold you for playing so long?)

7.49     Nah, we arrange our time. So its alright.

7.53     Ah got girlfriend?

7.53     No

7.54     What about you?

7.59     So are you okay with your girlfriend?

*shook*(yamateh)

8.02     Haha.. Not okay huh..

Okay I actually watched the show and here are a few of my opinions:-
1.) As you can see, the Kingsurf players are very quiet and stoned because they are not fluent in english. In malaysia, majority of the Chinese Malaysians in Kuala Lumpur (capital of Malaysia) can speak english, whereas the other states like Johor (where kingsurf is from), there is a less % percentage of fluent english speaking malaysians because KL is like the 'westernized' area of Malaysia.
2.) Belinda Chee aka the interviewer aka the host of the show is kinda hot <3
3.) Although yes the interview was boring due to the interviewer's lack of dota knowledge coupled by kingsurf's rather "errrr" and "ahh", I still feel happy to see them on this show. I mean afterall, they are famous for their dota skills, and not their english speaking skills lol so who cares.

T_T " I was sweating the entire way. Well, at least Belinda tried her best to keep the interview going by switching to Chinese halfway. That's why I think Ks-eryc should have been there to be the interviewee.

This show make the 8tv quickie quality of show become worst.
I think the director feels that 10mins interview like 10hours.
Yamateh and Sakura like be stunned.

Hey at least DotA, and a pro team actually got some air time. I commend these guys for being up for it even though they knew this host was totally unprepared, and were probably nervous outta their minds. It's a step, but sadly I doubt TV time devoted to a DotA pro team will ever happen in the US. I'm glad you guys are riding this, and as a said it's a positive step for the community not just for your team. KS's team captain shoulda spoken up more. KS FIGHTING!
