Summarized translation of ryujehong’s (drunk) stream, 09/08/2019

I translated most of the stream, except the parts that were too hectic or where the conversation seemed to be all over the place and it wasn’t making sense when I wrote it down. Lightly edited for clarity.

• Jehong: It’s 5 AM, I’ve had a lot to drink… though maybe I didn’t drink that much? I didn’t feel very drunk so I turned on the stream as soon as I got back to the teamhouse. Apologies if I sound slurred or anything. Normally I’d be super drunk by this point, and I’d just go straight to bed, but I guess because I feel sad I’m still awake.
• (Jecse walks into room, off-screen)
  Jehong: Oh, did I wake you? Sorry…
  Jecse: No, it’s not because of you. I slept fine. I slept like 3 hours. Did you drink a lot?
  Jehong: Not much. I’m streaming so I didn’t drink that much. See you tomorrow.
  Jecse: Yeah. Bye~
• Jehong: Yeah, a lot of regrets… No, I didn’t sound stuffy before when I was out, but now that I’m back at the teamhouse I suddenly sound stuffy. And my room is clean! (*shows his room*) I guess my nose is just weird. We have someone who comes to clean for us too.
• Jecse: we have scrims tomorrow.
  Jehong: That’s right, we have scrims!
  Jehong: We won! We have to scrim tomorrow! With London, right?
  Chat: *sobbing*
  Jecse: Let’s do good tomorrow! Fuck.
  Jehong: What do we do tomorrow? What should we do tomorrow, chat? Recommendations please.
  Chat: Rest. Just rest. Go see the ocean. Do what you want. Karaoke.
  Jehong: I already sang “Gamsa” at karaoke.
  Jecse: Good night hyung.
  Jehong: Good night.
• Jehong: I’m going to lie down on the couch. I can’t go to bed right now because Illicit sleeps next to me and I don’t want to bother him. Chat keeps saying I can cry if I want to but I cried it all out earlier. Mom and dad contacted me too. So I told them to wait for me so we can go eat eel together when I get home.
  [Translator’s note: Eel is a delicacy that’s considered a food that boosts health]
• Jehong: Tobi’s doing better. All the players cried quite a bit. I thought it was just me and Tobi but once I got to the waiting room… everyone had regrets. Such a shame.
• Jehong: I need to get my hair cut stat when I get home. When I change my hair I either grow it long or I get a buzzcut, should I go for the buzzcut?
  Chat: N O
  Jehong: Shall I just shave my entire head?
  Chat: OMIGOD N O
  Jehong: I usually fall asleep when I get drunk but for some reason I’m totally awake right now. I could go play OW. Even though I sound slurred.
  Tobi: (enters chat to say hi)
  Jehong: Is Tobi in here? He kept telling me to not to stream. BUT I’m streaming. I’m not drunk. I’m talking slurred but I’m not drunk. I’m really not drunk, people! I wouldn’t be talking so much if I was drunk.
  Chat: Yes, drunk people always insist they’re not drunk.
• Jecse: I can’t sleep
  Jehong: LOL go to bed.
  Jecse: I’m not sleepy.
  Jehong: (talking to chat) Jecse can’t sleep.
  Jecse: We prepared so much… we didn’t get to use our Baptiste strat.
  Jehong: Can’t be helped.
  Jecse: So many regrets…
  Jehong: I should have killed IDK today… shame.
  Jecse: It’s just sad we didn’t get to show everything that we’d prepped.
  Tobi: (in chat) please sleep
  Jehong: I will, in about 30 minutes.
• Chat: omigod I can smell the alcohol from here.
  Jehong: I don’t smell like alcohol!
  Chat: Mister Nero’s Dad please go to bed
  Jehong: Just feel sad about today. (*reading*) Like I said, I can’t go back to Korea until October. I have to stay in the US. (*sad face*) I have to stay here. I’ll tell you why later. The other players will probably head back mid-September.
• Jehong: I’m going to play OW tomorrow and beat up Doomfist. I died to Doomfist like, 4 times today? I was going to kill Bazzi but I held back. I yelled at IDK about it. I need to beat up Bazzi.
  [Translator’s note: He’s kidding. This is how he talks. Also the word “kill” is used a lot more casually/jokingly in Korean.]
• Jehong: I’m going to take my socks off.
  Chat: ew foot smell
  Jehong: My feet don’t smell. My feet have never smelled except when I was doing military service. But that’s unavoidable. I swear. (*places hand on chest*) I swear. You’d know if you went.
  Chat: please stop grabbing your boob this is about to become an NC-17 stream
  Jehong: what’s wrong with me touching my own chest??
  Chat: your fat is rippling
  Jehong: that’s not true! I’ve lost weight.
  [Translator’s note: Yes, Jehong’s stream audience likes to bully him.]
• Jehong: (Garbage truck pulls up outside his room, loud truck noises) Oh god the garbage truck. It’s so noisy. Every morning, it wakes me up and I’m like arghh. But I have to understand. It’s hard work, working so early in the morning. My dad was a street cleaner too, so I know what it’s like. He’s retired now, he’s old. I used to wake up crazy early when he left for work, like arghhh, when he closed the door — I’m a light sleeper. But that’s how I knew he was leaving for work. And he was doing hard work.
• Jehong: Today is an off day, and then tomorrow we [were supposed to] have scrims with London. Or was it the day after?
  Chat: *sobbing*
  Jehong: But now London as well… (*laughs*) I can laugh now. You can always laugh about something once you’ve unloaded [your emotions]. So I can laugh about it.
  Chat: That’s why you’re a top-tier pro.
  Jehong: Go sleep Jecse, we have a lot to do tomorrow.
  Jecse: I can’t sleep… fuck, I hid beer over here, where did it go??
  Jehong: Beer? That’s in the practice room.
• Jecse: Oh, we do have to be back here by 1 PM though.
  Jehong: What?
  Jecse: We have scrims at 1.
  Jehong: …we have scrims?
  Jecse: Yeah, we have to help NYXL warm up.
  Jehong: Okay, then we’ll help NYXL warm up. Help them win. …Are you serious? We’re actually doing scrims?
  Jecse: Yeah, I talked to the GM earlier. Their match is at 3.
  Jehong: For real??? It’s 6 AM right now. I’m so drunk. I need to turn this off. Are you for real?
  Jecse: YES.
  Jehong: Are you serious right now? You’re smiling. You’re kidding me.
  Jecse: No, it’s true.
  Jehong: The GM didn’t say anything in the group chat!
  Jecse: He just told me.
  Jehong: What the fuck… I mean NYXL needs to win… that’s true… but…
  Jecse: I thought you knew. Didn’t you hear the GM say this earlier over pizza?
  Jehong: I ate pizza late…
  Jecse: I guess we’ll play Highly.
  Jehong: Does that fucker [Illicit] know too??
  Jecse: I think so.
  Jehong: (*opens bedroom door*) Did you know we have scrims? Warm up with NYXL?
  Illicit: What? No?
  Jehong: You didn’t know?
  Illicit: I thought we had today off. That’s what [other staff member] told me.
  Jehong: I’m gonna get mad. Ok. You know what, I’m gonna go with what [other staff member] said. I mean, you know what, it’s fine, we can help NYXL warm up. They should win. I want Saebyeolbe to win. I want them to take the title, honestly. New York fighting. I know a lot of the players, I know the coach, I’ve known them from way back… so I want them to win. But I just lost to Hangzhou and got eliminated… and now I have scrims… that’s…
  Jecse: I’ll check with the New York players. (*calling*) Hello?
  Jehong: If it turns out to be true, I’m going straight to bed. I do have to help them.
• Jecse: I think the GM pranked me. The NYXL coach says there isn’t a warm up.
  Jehong: I KNEW IT! I didn’t see anything on the spreadsheet.
  Jecse: Now if they ask me why we didn’t turn up, I can say the New York coach said there wasn’t a warm up!
  Jehong: Do they even need help? They just need to work hard and do well. Win the title! I want Saebyeolbe to do well. It would have been awesome if London had won today too.
• Jehong: I watched the London match. What a heartbreaker. They played really well. London did really well, in my opinion. Us, on the other hand… (pause) London did well.
• Jehong: We did well too, but Hangzhou did a little itty bitty bit better. I was going to beat up IDK but I restrained myself. I should have punched him, damn. To be honest, Bazzi was so fucking good. (*raises fist*) Whew. I should have punched him, he was so good. (*reads chat*) Leetaejun? He’s not even close [to how good Bazzi is].
  Tobi: (in chat) I’m sorry everyone he’s so drunk
  Chat: please either praise Bazzi or punch him pick one
  Jecse: (after a pause) We didn’t play well today, to be honest.
  Jehong: We didn’t do well? We did well! We were better than leetaejun anyway.
  Chat: (*confused as to why leetaejun is suddenly the standard of good play*)
  Tobi: (in chat) Jecse please send this pig to bed
  Jehong: Tobi, don’t worry about me, just go sleep.
  Tobi: (in chat) We played badly, we lost because we played badly.
  Jehong: Yeah! That’s right. Hangzhou played well so they won, we played bad so we lost. Get it straight! Tobi’s absolutely correct!
  Chat: someone sleep dart him
  Tobi: (in chat) Jecse was right… we just didn’t play well.
  Jehong: If we played well we would have fucking won.
  Jecse: Yep. Incontrovertible truth.
  Jehong: We didn’t play well. I didn’t play well. I didn’t live up to my name. I acknowledge that. But I can’t change that. I just have to win next time.
  Chat: OMIGOD SHUT UP DON’T SAY THAT
  Jehong: If we get the chance, we have to win next time.
  Jecse: We have to seize the opportunity. What do you call the ability to seize the opportunity when it arrives? Skill.
• Jehong: It’s 6 AM? I should sleep.
  Jecse: Well, apparently we don’t have scrims tomorrow so you could keep going.
  Jehong: Yeah, I’ll just be like “What? But Seoul lost!! Why do we have scrims??” I’m going to text Saebyeolbe later, tell him fighting. I’m good friends with him, so…
  Tobi: (in chat) dude get it together
  Jecse: We worked hard for a year.
  Jehong: Has it been a year?
  Jecse: Yeah, it’s been over a year since I joined.
  Jehong: Well done, Jecse. It’s been over a year, huh. We all went through a lot. Seoul Dynasty went through a lot, Seoul Dynasty fans went through a lot. Seoul Dynasty 2019, well done.
  Tobi: (in chat) 2019 Seoul Dynasty, done.
  Daemin: (in chat) holy shit we’re already approaching 2020…
  Jehong: Let’s fighting for Seoul Dynasty 2020. Gotta fighting for 2020.
  Tobi: (in chat) 2020 Seoul fighting ^^
  Jehong: LOL Tobi. What time is it?
  Jecse: 6:02 AM.
  Jehong: Gotta shower and sleep now.
  Tobi: (in chat) Jehong
  Tobi: (in chat) Well done, well fought.
  Jehong: Well fought, Tobi. Everyone worked hard. Jecse worked hard, all year. But we should have done better! We should have done better!
  Jecse: I blame Munchkin.
  Jehong: Fucking Munchkin, leaving us… Munchkin should have done better too! He should have carried me…
  Jecse: I’m gonna watch Fissure’s stream for the first time in a while.
  Jehong: Is Fissure streaming?
  Jecse: Yeah.
  Jehong: Fissure! Should have done better! Carried me! But they all went through a lot. You all did. Well done. Bye bye. (pause) I’m going to kill Munchkin and Fissure when I go back to Korea.
  Jecse: Yeah, just dunk them in soju.
  Jehong: Yeah. I’ll go now. See you tomorrow. Byeee
  Chat: (Someone donates Tier 1 sub to ANS)
  Tobi: GGs
  Jehong: ANS can fuck off. (*grins*)
