HYUK ALL-KILL LOL
Hyuk: "I will not under-perform anymore."
"My target is to get into the Starleague."


[image loading]


- How does it feel to lead your team into victory?
▲ The reason I was sent out first was because my hometown is Chang-won. I honestly thought performing just 2 kills, but since this was my hometown, everything turned out better than I expected. My games progressed so smoothly, hence the good results.

- Were you confident in performing an all-kill?
▲ I told my teammates that if I were to be sent out as the first player and win the first game, I would be able to perform an all-kill. After winning the first game, I was all warmed-up and my games progressed so smoothly. That was why I felt I would be able to ride on the momentum and perform an all-kill.

- Since you were playing in your hometown, weren't you burdened instead?
▲ I came here when I was young to watch a basketball match. At that time, it was amazing watching the match indoor, but when I actually got to play in the stadium, I felt burdened. I was greatly pressured in the first game, but after winning, it disappeared and I was able to play with my mind at ease.

- You have been playing great recently.
▲ I am on a winning streak ever since the end of the season. Frankly speaking, it's not that my skills have greatly improved or anything. It's just that my games didn't turn out well due to various reasons, but I have worked on those problems, hence my good results lately. In the past, whenever I stepped into the booth, my hands would shake and my head would hurt, but now all that is gone and I am able to play the same way I did during practice. That led to good results.

- People must be greatly looking forward to see you play in the next season.
▲ After playing in the Grand Finals (Proleague), I haven't lost a single game. But exactly 1 year ago in this very time, I performed a 3-kill during the Rival Battle break and led my team into victory. Due to that, I was greatly watched by people but in the end, I didn't perform well during Proleague. That is why I told myself I couldn't let that happen again, and I intend to play the same way I've been during practice.

- It seems that you are going straight to Seoul.
▲ My vacation is somewhere in September. I plan to visit my parents then.

- Your team is now in the process of removing the image of a weak SKT1 Zerg lineup.
▲ When we had GoRush and JulyZerg, our team's Zerg lineup wasn't that weak. But I believe I was the key reason why we got that image. I feel responsible for it, hence I am working hard to get rid of that image. I want to strengthen the image of SKT1's zerg lineup.

- If you were to pick a player as your rival...
▲ It will be Kwanro (LOL). I don't think like that, but he (Kwanro) said so, hence I think he'll be my rival (laugh).

- What is your future target?
▲ I have yet to get into any individual leagues. That is why my target is to qualify into any individual league. I will think about winning after I achieve that.

Good interview.

And in response to Kwanro's rivalry I think Hyuk actually beat Kwanro in proleague.

Good luck to Hyuk not sucking anymore!

Kwanro is the perfect rival for Hyuk. Both are(at least were) bad players who somehow manage to win.

Mong, s2, and Hyuk win STX Masters!

wait...WHATTT???

Thanks for the translation kona!

Hyuk has often been said to be a practice house monster who fails under the pressure of live televised games...maybe he's finally got the best of his nerves! Good for him, I was always a fan despite his many awful failures.

this is so cliche imo, everyone says that about every 'prodigy' that turns up a failure.
hopefully the 09-10 season will be the proleague season that breaks out hyuk.

GOGO HYUK!
I totally agree with pripple, zerg is sktt1's only weakness, they already have 2 powerhouses on both protoss and terran. If hyuk finally starts winning his proleague games consistently, sktt1 is just gonna own everyone (except maybe cj :D)

I guess this just confirms how important composure and mental toughness are in pro SC!

Especially since everyone has similar mechanics and knowledge of build orders nowadays. But most prodigies don't turn out to be failures =/ Jangbi is doing just fine.
