- Did you have any difficulties? ▲ I didn't get the new mousepad I ordered yet so I used an old one. It was dirty from all the sweat. It wasn't the best but it was okay.
- How do you feel about passing the preliminaries? ▲ I never doubted even 0.1% that I would lose. I thought I must win today. I can't lose.
- When did you think that you weren't going to lose? ▲ I never lose in the preliminaries. I thought I had enough skill and I was seeded.
- You don't have as good stats in the MSL. ▲ I got into both leagues last season but I had an MSL match right after my OSL match. I didn't know what to do because I was so busy. I learned that I needed to practice early if I get into both leagues.
- Are you confident in the Survival Tournament too? ▲ The preliminaries are not enough. People only care about from Ro36 and on. I don't think the Survival Tournament will be that hard.
- 예선을 통과한 소감은 ▲ 오늘 질 것이라는 생각은 0.1%도 하지 않았다. 무조건 이긴다는 생각으로 경기장에 왔다. 질 수가 없다.
- 예선에서 지지 않는다는 생각은 언제부터 한 것인가 ▲ 내가 원래 예선에서는 지지 않는다. 본선이라면 모를까 예선에서는 절대 지지 않는다. 예선에서는 최근에 거의 떨어진 적이 없는 것 같다. 어느 정도 실력이 있다고 생각하고, 예선 시드를 받은 이후부터는 너무 편하더라. 그 이후부터 이런 생각을 하게 됐다.
- 예선과는 달리 본선에서는 성적이 별로 좋지 않았는데 ▲ 저번에 양대리그에 올라갔었는데 스타리그 다음날 MSL이 있는 등 일정이 바빴다. 그렇게 바쁜 적이 처음이라서 어떻게 해야하는지 잘 몰랐다. 이제는 양대리그에 올라간다면 미리 준비를 해야한다는 것을 배웠다.
- 서바이버 토너먼트도 자신이 있는가 ▲ 이 정도까지는 취급을 안해준다. 16강이나 32강에 올라가야 취급을 해준다. 서바이버 토너먼트도 그렇게 어렵다고 생각은 하지 않는다.
- How do you feel about passing the prelims? ▲ I thought it was going to be difficult but it was easy except one game in the finals. I'm happy I got the results that I wanted. yoOn, Spear, and FrOzean were in my group so I thought it was going to be difficult, but they all lost so I got lucky. I'm not implying that the other players are bad.
- go.go said prelims are very easy ▲ He's like that, but I can't say anything about it because I've never seen him lose in the preliminaries. For me, I'm more confident in the main league than the preliminaries. I hope I don't have to go through this ever again.
- 예선을 통과한 소감 한마디 ▲ 힘들 것으로 생각했는데 결승전 한 게임 빼고는 수월하게 올라간 것 같다. 연습한 만큼 성과가 나와서 뿌듯하다. 같은 팀이었던 임원기도 있었고, 평소에 연습 자주하는 최윤선이나 솔직히 쎈 김동건 선수가 있어서 쉽지 않을 것 같았다. 게다가 예선전은 누가 누구를 이길지 모르기 때문이다. 그런데 그 분들이 다 떨어져줘서 다행이었다. 그렇다고 나머지 선수들이 못하는 선수들이라는 뜻은 아니다.
- 김창희는 예선이 매우 쉽다고 말하던데 ▲ 걔는 원래 그런 녀석이다. 하지만 (김)창희는 예선에서 떨어지는 것을 본 적이 없다. 그래서 할 말이 없다. 하지만 본선에서는 씁쓸하다. 사실 나는 본선이 자신이 있고, 예선은 너무 싫다. 다시는 예선을 하고 싶지 않다.
- How do you feel about passing the prelims ▲ The coaching staff pressured me so much today (laughs). I'm so happy that I won. The coaches said they would kill me if I didn't make it. I don't think I could have went home today if I lost (laughs). I don't know if they did the same thing for the other players but they said that to me (laughs).
- Any last words? ▲ I'll do well again tomorrow so stop pressuring me (laughs).
- 본선 진출에 성공한 소감은 ▲ 오늘 오기 전에 코칭스태프의 압박이 너무 심했다(웃음). 이렇게 올라가서 정말 다행이다. 못 뚫으면 죽는다고 말씀을 하셨었다. 오늘 만약 뚫지 못했다면 숙소에 들어가지 못했을 것 같다(웃음). 다른 선수에게는 어떻게 말을 하셨는지 모르겠지만 나에게는 그렇게 말씀하시더라(웃음).
- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면 ▲ 내일도 잘할테니 감독님이 너무 압박을 주지 않으셨으면 좋겠다(웃음).
- You're famous for using the keyboard keys to move your screen and not your mouse ▲ I still do that. I don't move my mouse, I move my screen. The clicks become more accurate. My mouse stays on the same spot.
- Your determination in this Survivor Tournament ▲ My goal is low. My goal is to get at least one win. I really want to win a televised match. It would be my first time winning on a televised game.
- free and ZerO are in the MSL often ▲ Yesterday Zero was making fun of me how he doesn't play in the prelims. He bought me pork and told me to win (laughs). I want to get into the MSL so I can do the same to other players on my team.
- Did you win because of the pork that Zero bought you? ▲ It helped me. I wanted to make it because he was making fun of me. I wanted to go with Free hyung but Zero said we couldn't take too many people so he took Special and me. I heard later that Free had a better meal than we did.
- 윤용태, 김명운이 MSL 단골손님인데 ▲ 어제도 (김)명운이가 자기는 예선을 하지 않는다고 놀리더라. 예선을 뚫으라고 하면서 고기를 사줬다(웃음). 나도 MSL에 많이 올라가서 동생들에게 고기를 사주면서 놀리고 싶다. 돼지고기 항정살을 얻어먹었다.
- 김명운의 고기 덕에 올라간 것인가 ▲ 그래도 사줬으니까 도움이 됐다. 많이 놀려서 올라가고 싶은 마음이 더 생기기는 했다. 고기 사준 것이 고마웠다. (윤)용태 형이랑 같이 가려고 했는데 (김)명운이가 사람이 많으면 안된다고 몰래 나와 (이)동준이만 데려갔다. 그런데 용태 형은 더 맛있는 것을 먹었다고 하더라.
- Your match against YellOw is being talked about a lot ▲ I played to win, so I ended up producing ultralisks. I wasn't trying to BM. I'm happy that I won.
- Any last words? ▲ It's been a while since I made it to the Survivor Tournament so I want to show my true abilities. I wasn't trying to do anything special in my match against Yellow. Even when I was practicing something similar happened, and I had to make Ultralisks to win.
- 4강전에서 홍진호와의 대결이 화제가 되고 있는데 ▲ 나는 이기기 위해서 지키는 경기를 한 것이다. 그러다 보니 끝낼 수 있는 유닛으로 울트라리스크를 생산한 것이다. 상대를 학살할 의도는 없었다. 오늘 이겨서 기쁘고 내 경기를 통해 MBC게임 시청률을 높이는데 공헌한 것 같아서 더욱 기쁘다.
- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면 ▲ 오랜만에 본선에 올라왔는데 다시 열심히 해서 나의 본 모습을 보여드리고 싶다. 그리고 마지막으로 홍진호 선수와의 경기는 특별한 의도가 있었던 것이 아니다. 연습할 때도 비슷한 경우가 발생했는데 이기기 위해서는 울트라리스크를 반드시 생산해야 하는 상황이었다.
- How do you feel about passing the prelims? ▲ I'm happy. I was sick so I went to the hospital. They said it wasn't the swine flu. I think I'm sick again after playing in that cold room, but I'm happy that I won.
- What did you do while you waited for the finals? ▲ I saw Yellow hyung's game. I usually play with him and he's really good. I think he made a mistake in the 2nd game and he could have won the 3rd game but he lost. I think the 2nd game effected his mindset.
- Did you have a difficult match? ▲ The finals were hard. I won the first set, but I lost the 2nd set even though I had a good lead. I thought I was ahead but I lost. He had a very good macro. Since he used the same build the 3rd set, I just changed my build and I was able to win.
- 예선 통과한 소감은 ▲ 우선 기쁘다. 지금 몸이 별로 좋지 않은데 신종플루인 것 같아서 병원에 갔다. 다행스럽게 신종은 아니라고 하더라. 오늘 추운 곳에서 게임을 하다보니 몸 상태가 다시 안 좋아졌는데 이렇게 올라가게 되어서 기분이 좋다.
- 결승전 대기 시간이 길었는데 무엇을 했는가 ▲ (홍)진호 형의 게임을 봤다. 평소에 진호 형이랑 게임을 자주하는데 잘한다. 내가 봤을 때는 두번째 게임에서는 실수를 했고, 세번째 게임은 이길 수 있었는데 아깝게 패배했다. 두번째 게임 때문에 말리지 않았나 싶다.
- 힘들었던 경기가 있다면 ▲ 결승전이 힘들었다. 첫 경기에서는 무난하게 이겼지만 두번째 판에서는 좋았던 경기를 밀리고 말았다. 나는 내가 좋다고 생각했는데 '어, 어, 어' 하다가 졌다. 물량이 많이 나오더라. 마지막 판에는 서기수 선수가 똑같은 빌드를 사용하더라. 그래서 나는 빌드를 바꾸고 이겼다. 이학주 선수와의 경기는 그냥 그랬다(웃음).
- How do you feel about passing the prelims? ▲ I'm happy but I knew I was going to win. I never thought I was going to lose.
- Was there a difficult match today? ▲ They were all easy. I didn't think anyone on my group was a good player. For the Ro8 I went to the bathroom and played the game without warming up. I used an all-in build and lost in the 1st set.
- You're the only player from SKT1 to make it through today ▲ I think I had a good group. ZvT is difficult but I didn't have to play against any Terrans. I can fly if I just avoid Terran players. I'm practicing regularly and with effort.
- You must have high goals for this league. ▲ I want to accomplish something. I want to show everything I can. I want to be near the name values of Bisu and Canata. I'm wondering what I've been doing until now.
- Any last words? ▲ I was really thirsty while playing a match. All my teammates were gone, so I drank from the water bottle that was next to me. It was very good. I thank the owner of the bottle.
- Did anyone from your team that had MSL experience help you? ▲ Nobody supported me. Nobody said anything. They didn't help me practice that much. I went on Battle.net and found someone to practice with. Pure hyung helped me but Mind hyung was too lazy (laughs).
- You got a W.O. in Ro8 vs Devil ▲ When I first found out about it I decided that I should just give up the spot since I already lost, but he had already left. The referees told me to play against GoRush. I didn't want it to happen that way. I felt bad but I didn't want to forfeit against Gorush. I'm happy that I won but I think I'll feel bad when I think about it later. *
- 오늘 김민호의 기권 등 많은 일이 있었는데 ▲ 처음에 그 이야기를 들었을 때 내가 기권을 하려고 했다. 그런데 그 선수가 그냥 가버렸고, 심판 쪽에서 박태민과 경기를 하라고 하더라. 뜻하지 않은 상황이었다. 상당히 찝찝한 마음이었지만 어차피 해야하는 경기고 박태민 선수에게는 기권하기 싫었다. 지금은 이겨서 기분이 좋지만 나중에 가서 생각을 해보면 찝찝할 것 같다.
* Devil beat Daezang 2-1 and GoRush 2-0 originally and got to the finals, but he played in the wrong map order (Desti -> HBR -> Byzantium instead of Desti -> Byzantium -> HBR) The KeSPA referee said that they had to replay all the matches from the beginning, but since the first map, Destination, was played correctly, Daezang>Devil on Desti stays and Devil would have to play from 0-1 on Byzantium. CJ Coach was very angry saying he already won the match, he would understand a rematch from the start, but starting with 1 loss is a huge disadvantage, especially since he originally won.
CJ Coach and Devil decided to forfeit than deal with this nonsense with KeSPA, and Daezang was told to play against GoRush for the Ro4 match. Daezang said that he wanted to forfeit, but Devil had already left, so he played against GoRush and ended up winning in the group.
I am now a crazy-hydra fan. That's awesome! I love when people do something differently than everybody else. Also, I'm confused as to what happened between GoRush and Daezang. Can anybody clarify?

ya i dont get it, he said he lost and thought he should leave? he went thru to Ro4 and then beat GoRush, why's he feel bad?
He didn't want to play Devil so he thought he wasn't good enough so he wanted to leave. But Devil W.O before Daezang, and Daezang couldn't leave on Gorush, so he stayed.

??? so he was scared of devil but not scared of gorush? how's that plausible?

Sorry about not clarifying that.
Devil beat Daezang 2-1 and GoRush 2-0 originally and got to the finals, but he played in the wrong map order (Desti -> HBR -> Byzantium instead of Desti -> Byzantium -> HBR [I think]) The CJ coach realized this, and told the KeSPA referee, willing to have Devil play over from the Ro8 against Daezang. The KeSPA referee said that they had to replay all the matches from the beginning, but since the first map, Destination, was played correctly, Daezang>Devil on Desti stays and Devil would have to play from 0-1 on Byzantium.

I thought this answer was pretty awesome, especially the last part of it. Hyuk's been inspired haha..

Wow, this is quite rude to say and very untypical for koreans, especially for such an unaccomplished player like Hyuk. Don't you think this is rude and disrespectful towards the other players in the group?

No. When you are Hyuk, professional all-killer and destroyer of Zerg masters you don't need to be respectful to anyone.

Who cares? He told his honest opinion and backed it up with his play.
wow what the fuck @ crazy-hydra not moving the mouse, how does that even work? I really need to see him play live to believe that, that's just bizarre.
Also, glad daezang was going to forfeit, sucks devil didn't stay around so he could accept it.

I believe he just means he doesn't have to move the mouse to the sides of the screen.
I can't believe KeSPA's bullcrap argh it makes me so angry, imagine yourself in Devils position, you are 1 down and you comeback and beat your opponent 2-1 to win but suddenly your two wins don't count since they were in the wrong order and yet your opponents win stays. He was already 1 down so he would have had to play the last two maps to win regardless I don't see how he could have use it to his advantage - it wasn't even his fault ARGH!!

type-b is always so polite haha. Love this guy.
LOL nbs stealing other people's water.
Poor Baby, his team mates didn't even help him XD.
Damn I feel soooo bad for Devil. That kid dominates Minor League has shown some real talent and then that has to happen right when he's about to break into a Starleague.
anything interesting from han? I kinda been waiting for him to do something since he took out Jaedong in the incruit prelim and yesterday he walked over 3 zergs including Thezerg and 815 who are kinda known.
also I saw classic vs stats, both long games. was hoping for classic
also nobody make fun of july and his non-swine flu, you hear?
- Did you have any tough matches today? ▲ I had harder time against (T)Classic than (T)NaDa. He was really good. The third set against (T)NaDa was easy.
Except you lost a game to Nada but not Classic. Check your own STATS, yo.
And Hyuk also badmouthing people for no reason? Damn, did something get lost in translation?
Hilarious interview questions for the most part though!

That alone made the thread worth viewing. The rest was just a bonus. I laughed very very hard. ;D
Wow that's bullshit what Devil has to deal with after qualifying for finals. So unfair, this was going to be the start of his bonjwadom and now it's never going to happen.

yeah, u know the worst part? they dont give a shit, they just said "Oh, so ure leaving huh? ok FUCK YOU! next in line pls" -.- at least they should try the fix the situation.
WTF Devil got Kespared x_x ...... so annyoing even tough Iam happy Dezeang advanced Hyuks last sentence is hilarious "I'm wondering what I've been doing until now." yeah we all do Hyuk we all do. And what is the Mantoss doing I can`t believe he got smashed that easily in both MSL and OSL prem .... I guess those quali stuff is not manly enough for him
