KT vs Oz spoilers ahead

(T)Flash: "I was considering giving up today's game."
"I played on with sheer willpower, and I am relieved that I won."


[image loading]


- Your thoughts on entering the Round of 16 for 8 seasons in a row?
▲ I have been in the OSL for a long time, but my performance was not good for the past few seasons, which left me slightly disappointed. However, I will do my best to perform the best I can this year.

- You took a break from interviews after Proleague today. How are you feeling now?
▲ I'm still feeling bad right now, but compared to earlier today during Proleague, I feel much better. Actually, my situation was so bad yesterday that I even considered giving up all my games today. But I managed to recover a bit today so I still played, but my hands still did not move fast enough and I was in a terrible condition.
I had the toughest time playing today, but I managed to bring in good results so it means a lot to me. I held on with sheer willpower and my results turned out well, so I am relieved.

- Your bionic play seems extraordinary.
▲ I think it is because I play with great confidence. I don't think it was a perfect play, but (Z)HoGiL let his guard down, and luck was on my side too. I have to ride on this momentum even further.

- You will be playing in an Asian competition held in Vietnam on the 30th as the national representative.
▲ This is my first time going overseas. That makes this even more meaningful. Even if I don't win, I think either (T)fantasy or I will finish as first place, and it should be good experience for me.


(Z)ZerO: "My target is to at least get into the semifinals."
"The heavens have given me another chance."


[image loading]


- Your thoughts on getting in the Round of 16 of the OSL for 2 seasons in a row?
▲ I was fully prepared for the Round of 36 in the previous season so I was certain I would advance, but today, it was slightly different. In our game against Hite in Proleague, I suffered 2 straight losses, and because I felt so sorry for my team, I was not able to concentrate fully for the individual leagues. Moreover, because (T)firebathero is weak against Protoss, I only practiced against Protoss, so I was taken aback (when I had to face Firebathero). Luck was on my side, which was why I was able to advance into the Round of 16.

- Was there any dangerous moments in the first game?
▲ When the first marine/medic attack came, I barely defended it while suffering more damage than expected. Not only that, my defiler was sniped by tanks, so I felt very uneasy.
I was too nervous so I was initially unaware, but my defiler was consistently sniped by tanks. Later on, when I re-evaluated my situation, I felt that I was still on even grounds, so I focused once again and played the game.

- In the second game, Firebathero went for a 3-rax all-in rush.
▲ I killed my opponent's scouting SCV early, so I went for an all-in attack. I think Firebathero prepared the rush after seeing my game against Leta, where I lost to a sunken break. I really think luck was on my side today. In the previous season, I played very fancifully but I wasn't able to produce results. I think the heavens gave me another chance.

- Was your hold lurker tactic an on-the-feet thinking?
▲ If it worked, I would be able to win easier, and if it didn't, there would be nothing to lose, which is why I did that. I was consistently checking to see if he would scan the lurkers, for which I would then act accordingly.

- Your target for the OSL this season?
▲ It would be to meet only Zergs this season and to get far into the tournament. My target is to at least get into the semifinals.

- Aren't you worried that there might be too many Zergs?
▲ There are so many Zergs that I had hoped other Zergs would lose as I watched their games. I am rather disappointed that by.hero, whom I am close with was eliminated, but I think that it is a good thing for me.
I want to play well while the other Zergs perform poorly and shine.

- Any final words?
▲ After Proleague yesterday, our team was on a break but (P)GuemChi, (P)Actually and (T)Wrath still helped me with practice. Also, (P)Actually asked me to mention him in my interview, but since I faced a Terran today, I don't really feel thankful.

That's right folks, today's games were examples of how Flash plays when he is so sick that he can barely play. Now just wait until he reaches peak performance.

Seriously though, I hope he finds time to recover in between all the events.

lol if flash plays like this when he is sick, KT should consider constantly poisoning his food, because the past few weeks he's looked as good as he's ever been

thanks for the translations

Thanks for the fast translation!

Flash is sick despite being sick.

I'm looking forward to his next game where he is feeling better. If this is the standard whilst being sick he needs to take an individual title this season.

lol@zero 2-0ing FBH without even practicing.
Welcome back to your throne Flash. Oh well only SLs will tell, Flash always won 9 out of 10 of his games vs scrubs and A-Class and lower vTers, its only when he gets to the SLs he starts struggling. It would be nice if he takes the MSL though, OSL belongs to JD

Blergh Mind.

And Sick Flash still >>> Hogil. Just goes to show how good Flash is.

And FBH, even with beating a protoss and getting a TvZ matchup fails hard against Zero.

TLPD will hopefully update soon, I want to see how close this recent 2-0 has put Flash towards usurping the JD/Bisu combo in ELO.
