STX Masters Day 9 Winner SK Telecom T1 (T)Mong:
"T1's mechanic is so good, it can't be compared to those of other teams"

[image loading]


- How do you feel about leading your team to victory with your two wins
▲ I practiced the maps for the earlier sets mostly*, so I thought of it as gaining experience and didn't expect to win, but I got two kills so I'm very happy.

- You won against players who are doing well in individual leagues.
▲ I was very nervous when I played against (Z)YellOw[ArnC] but after winning the first game I could relax.

- You defeated both Zergs with mechanic builds
▲ I thought about going mechanic but it didn't go as I prepared so I improvised my build. I think there are countless ways to use mechanic builds. Coach (T)iloveoov developed the mechanic build vs Zergs, so our notion/concept of mechanic vs Zergs is incomparably better than that of other teams.

- Because of WCG you might not have your ace players on the team for the STX finals.
▲ Even without (P)Bisu and (T)fantasy, we have other S-Class** players, so we have a chance no matter who we send out. Even if I don't get a chance to play, I will help my team to the best of my abilities.

- What did you think while you watched the proleague finals.
▲ I couldn't participate because I'm still not good enough, but I was very envious. I will practice hard so I can play next season.

+ Show Spoiler [Original Article] +

- 2킬로 팀 승리를 이끈 소감은
▲ 앞에 배치된 맵을 위주로 연습했기 때문에 그냥 경험을 쌓는다고 생각하고 임했는데 2킬이나 하게 돼서 굉장히 기분 좋다.

- 스타리그에서 잘나가는 선수들은 상대로 승리를 거뒀는데
▲ 박명수를 상대로 경기했을 때는 너무 긴장했는데 한 번 이기고 나니까 그 다음에는 마음 편하게 할 수 있었다.

- 메카닉으로만 저그를 잡았는데
▲ 메카닉을 생각하긴 했지만 준비해 온대로 되지 않아서 즉흥적으로 빌드를 바꾸면서 했다. 메카닉을 사용하는 방법은 셀 수 없이 많은 것 같다. 최연성 코치님이 개발을 한 빌드이기 때문에 저그전 메카닉에 대한 개념이 다른 팀과는 비교할 수 없을 정도로 좋다. 그래서 편하다.

- WCG결승 때문에 팀의 주력 멤버들이 빠진 상태에서 STX컵 결승에 나갈 수도 있는데
▲ 택용이와 명훈이 말고도 최고 수준의 선수들이 많기 때문에 누가 나가더라도 해 볼만 하다. 내가 나가지 못하더라도 열심히 도와줄 것이다.

- 프로리그 결승을 보면서 어떤 생각을 했는지
▲ 아직 부족해서 직접 나가지는 못했지만 보면서 굉장히 부러웠다. 다음 시즌에는 꼭 나갈 수 있도록 열심히 노력하겠다.


*Another line that I seem to see a lot in interviews along with "I didn't get much practice"

*Mong used the words "highest level players" which I took the liberty of changing it to "S-Class players."

Thanks for the translation! I really found it scary how easily Mong dispatches off the hite Zergs who just reached an OSL Semi and an OSL final and usually have quite good ZvT.

I hope this clears all the stuff about fantasy making all the builds :/.

OOOOOOOOV! Give me back MnM as the standard in TvZ! Mech is so comparatively boring to watch! *angry fist shaking*

Not really b/c most people who say otherwise don't even read interviews anyways.

I thought it had to do with fantasy being more than a BO.

I think he means that oov created the concept of mech play, so they understand it more and thus make up many mech variations. So prolly fantasy took part in his mech builds and play.
