Bisu



Q: Your thoughts on dominating IEF again?
A: I got lucky (haha). This time, I didn't expect to win the championship. I lost the first game as Stork played too well, so I thought I would lose the series. Getting a championship a year after my last one makes me very happy. The fact that I earned it in China makes me even happier.

Q: In IEF, you always display huge power.
A: I always do well in MBCgame competitions (haha).

Q: Did you know that you have a lot of female fans in China? [T/N LOL question]
A: Seems like there are some (haha). Getting support even in China makes me glad. They even followed me back to my hotel to cheer me on. I'm thankful, but sadly I can't convey that with words. Having that kind of language disconnect is annoying. Whenever I come to China, I always feel like some major celebrity (haha). It always makes me proud. I'm truly joyful about it.

Q: You lost game 1.
A: In game 1, I thought my reaver had killed off a lot of Stork's workers, so I assumed I had a great advantage. But who would have guessed that Stork had produced a vast quantity of workers to begin with? Additionally, when we had skirmishes, I didn't control my reaver well, and I ended up losing it.

Q: In game 3, you used storms effectively.
A: Blue Storm brings back memories (haha). Before, I had played a lot of interesting games on Blue Storm. Stork prepared to use speed Shuttles [T/N increased velocity defeat transporter machines... I hope it means speed Shuttles], but I noticed that early, so I was able to take preventative measures. I thereby managed to get an advantage. Today, my own shuttle harass seemed to be good as well.

Q: On Blue Storm, Stork GG'd while attacking one of your mineral expansions.
A: My Shuttle speed hadn't finished yet, but I had been steadily building up forces, so I was able to block his attack. The OB didn't catch it, but while Stork was preparing to attack me, I was harassing his 2nd expansion, so he couldn't concentrate on microing during the attack. I feel like I won a total victory [T/N I think the KR->CN translator mistyped on this part, could someone check the Korean?]

Q: It's the "Taek-Byung Rok" that has been long elusive.
A: Once again I have experienced Stork's excellence. (haha) I haven't played him in a while, but I still feel it was fun. Last year, I was eliminated early, so I thought I wouldn't be able to participate this time, but I was still invited, and I even earned the championship. I apologize to Stork (haha).

Q: Anything else?
A: Earning the championship that I missed last year makes me incredibly happy. I feel like the Korean fans will be glad too. This is the second year in a row that my birthday has fallen on a match with Samsung [T/N SKT vs Samsung coming up soon], so I must win. (haha)



Stork



Q: You earned runner-up, which is regrettable.
A: I thoguht the brackets were done well. It looked like I could meet Bisu in the finals, so I was happy. Because this is my third time coming to IEF, but I got runner-up all three times, I really dislike China. (haha) [T/N ok what is going on here, Stork won IEF 2009]

Q: You gained an advantage by winning the first game.
A: The starting positions weren't bad, so in the opening I already had an advantage. Once I blocked Bisu's first wave of attackers, I already had a huge advantage. I won the first game in a relaxed fashion.

Q: You lost the 2nd game despite having an advantage.
A: When Bisu's first shuttle and reaver came to harass, I pulled most of my probes, but only later I discovered I had two still mining gas. There was no way around it, and I ended up with lots of minerals and not much gas. On top of that, Bisu's defense was good, and he even sent another wave of attackers, so I was forced to regretfully GG.

Q: In game 3, you attacked Bisu's mineral expansion, and it looked like you had taken the game, but you were pushed back gradually. How did that happen?
A: I don't know either (haha). When I looked at the replay, under the circumstances of equal troops and resources, I had a reaver and a group of dragoons, so I should have won easily. It seems that I really didn't micro well.

Q: You've come to China 3 times but gotten 3 runner-ups. You must really dislike China.
A: In Europe or America, I'm very strong (haha). This time, I only came because there wasn't SPL during the timeframe of the competition.

Q: Samsung will have a match with SKT soon. If you meet with Bisu...
A: I hoped to meet a different opponent 2 years ago. (haha). On top of that, I can't guarantee I even play (haha).

Q: This is the long-elusive "Taek-Byung Rok"
A: It's really intense. Recently, Bisu has been doing pretty well. I hoped to learn some new things from him, so I came to China. I also wanted to watch him play, but I couldn't, so I pretty much didn't learn anything (haha).

Q: Anything else?
A: When I get back, I really need to prepare well for SPL (haha).
