(Z)Hyuk: "I decided that if it went to a Mutalisk battle, I would win."

[image loading]



-How do you feel about winning against (Z)Jaedong?
▲I feel much happier than I usually am when I win. I've heard that I only beat him during the finals because I got lucky with a favorable build order. This time, I won while doing the same build as (Z)Jaedong and winning in a (micro and macro)management battle.

-You seem to be in good spirits lately.
▲Lately, it feels like even time spent sleeping is wasted time. I've even been cutting down on my sleeping time so that I can practice more, especially before I played against (P)Stork and (Z)Jaedong. I feel that if my gameplay doesn't match up to my own high standards, then I need to practice more. Although I didn't practice one build, I felt that if we got to a mutalisk battle, then I definitely wouldn't lose.

-You didn't lose your first battle.
▲Although I didn't have an advantage, I was used to fighting after taking my natural. I used what I thought was the best strategy: attacking after using up all my resources.

-Do you have any words you'd like to say?
▲(Z)s2 really helped me a lot. I prepared a lot and took a lot of time in deciding my build order, so I want to thank my coach. I feel like it's not just my own win, but a win for all of us.

(P)Bisu: "I thought that this was the time to use a strategy-based build".


[image loading]




-How do you feel about winning?
▲I feel like it's been a really long time since I've played a game and since I've won. I considered trying to win with a macromanagement style game, but I decided that I want to grab everyone's attention with a strategical build and thankfully, I won.

-You were thrown off by an early harass.
▲Normally to prevent a harass, you are supposed to either put down a pylon or place a probe properly, but since it was a televised game, I mistimed it and didn't block it in time. Although he was successful at placing a pylon, my dragoon came out first and since my opponent's cybernetics core was late, I felt that it wasn't so bad.

-Did you prepare a specific strategy for your relatively new opponent?
▲I thought long and hard about this. As I sat down in the gaming booth, I was still considering if I should play a macro game. Since we were up 2:0 anyway, I figured that whatever happened, we would still be okay and so I went for strategy based on timing. Coach Kwon also thought that going for strategical play would be a good move as well.

-There are players that have 5 wins already.
▲I don't think that 2 wins is that big of a difference. The finals is very far away and there is still the winner's league so the beginning isn't that important in my opinion. I think that the most important period starts after the third round.

-Lately, the advances in zerg strategy have been stunning.
▲I've thought many times lately that playing zerg is cheating. Although it is a hard race to master, personally, I still think that it is the easiest race to play against. However, Zerg players have been preparing very well for me lately, so I think it's time to change my style. I am working on it.

-Your sunbae, (T)BoxeR, just won in a spectacular manner.
▲I've heard many people say that he started preparing for a nuke in a situation where he wasn't at an advantage. I think that he succeeded wonderfully and his example makes me consider staying a progamer, even when I become 30 years old as well. Due to his hard work, (T)BoxeR was able to make it into the lineup but I think that he has become a player that will be able to play televised games whenever and always be immaculately prepared.

-Any last words?
▲I will definitely win against CJ.

Boxer's Interview here:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=104426

Does anyone want his interview straight from the original Korean? This guy did it from a Chinese translation iirc and it's pretty good, but I thought I'd ask. I won't be able to get to it for a few hours though, I have work soon.

Don't cut down sleep - it's pretty frick'n important!

Good to see Bisu trying to develop another style. I wish him luck - ZvP hasn't been as enjoyable to watch lately.

Edit: Thanks for the translation. Also, the 'headlines' to an interview doesn't seem to be drawn from the Q&A - are they part of what the gamer said? If so - I'm glad, Hyuk is pretty confident!!

rumors were that he had a flu and couldnt prepare for his match against Stork. He took quite a beating that match so I guess there was indeed something wrong with his condition, but still I agree that was the OSL he was meant to win

Hm? Yea it is, for the Hyuk interview the last line of the 2nd question you'll see the quote.
It isn't the exact wording but it's the same

What I understand is that they are going to do a similar schedule to last season; so two rounds then one round of winner's league, then another two rounds, and finally the playoffs.
