Thanks for the translations!

Glad to hear that Kal wants a real fight in the semis and not a free ride...

This was such an awesome response:

- The maps were evaluated as being unfavorable for zergs.
▲ Though it’s true maps play an influence in games, depending on effort put in, one can definitely overcome that disadvantage. Even if I were to lose, I try very hard so that I can’t place blame on the map. Though they may say the maps are unfavorable for zergs, seeing as how there are two zergs in the semifinals right now, I think player skill definitely creates a difference.


I hope he 3-0s Kal and meets Flash in the finals.

You’re playing (P)Kal in the semifinals.
▲ I’ve always thought that Kal is very good against zerg. Although I know I must not lose focus, protoss also happens to be the race I’m most confident against right now so I’m actually very happy about facing a protoss in the semifinals. Without regard to who it is, I’m satisfied in the lone fact that I’ll be facing a protoss again. I will grab this chance to show my abilities.


he is freaking afraid of flash's CHEESE.
Grubby and Ret fan, but a TERRAN player :D

No, he's just on a 10 game winning streak against Protoss.

Love the rivalry between Flash and Jaedong

Hope Jaedong 3-0's kal then has some epic games that also end in a 3-0 to jaedong ^^. I really hope they both do make it to the finals as I know it will be epic.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Thanks again for the interviews. They are very different from the speed-translations last night, though much of the sentiment is identical. They are the same interview right? I obviously understand that translating while they say stuff is very difficult and the speed at which you provided them was just phenomenal, I don't mean to take away from my appreciation.

Both of these guys are so mannered. I am looking forward to their series more than the OSL final or any games/potential games in the MSL. You see, this MSL comes at a time where there is a player who is just dominating. In a situation like this, if a final comes around it is either an upset or a statistically expected result. What I am saying is that even if we reach a Jaedong vs Flash final in the MSL it will be asymmetrical. Kal, I feel is the best Protoss at the moment, and Jaedong is the best Zerg. I think that both of them are certainly capable of beating Flash in a best of 5, but they will both be the underdog. I think that they are evenly matched, and while Kal's vZ is not his best matchup, he has been excelling in it when he is called into action against the swarm. It should be a battle between titans, and I for one am excited beyond words.

EDIT: You fucks who want a 3-0 in the Kal Jaedong semis clearly do not know how to appreciate extremely high level starcraft when it is handed to you on a platter. I cannot deny you the desire for your favorite to win, but please appreciate the fact that both players in this semifinal are worthy of their positions than any other Starleague matchup we are anticipating. You should view this as PvZ at the highest level that it can exist at this point in time, and should hope for a good series more than a victory for your hero.

Yeah seriously, Kal is like the invisible protoss right now with Movie/Stork getting all the limelight recently. He's been playing extremely solid Starcraft and is actually showing an extremely large amount of consistency with his play, more so than any other protoss on the block right now. He's at his ELO peak and isn't showing any really weak play in any matchup.

Jaedong vs. Kal should be a great series assuming both players practice (Jaedong isn't in STX so...).

(P)Kal, "I want to play Jaedong in the semifinals"
(Z)Jaedong, "I want to play (T)Flash in the finals"

speaks volumes about their confidence and motivation going into this doesn't it?

Kal seems content with making it to the semis without automatically assuming he's making it to the finals to face (most likely) Flash. JD on the other hand has seen through Kal and is already planning the finals match with Flash where he can repay him in kind for the crushing OSL defeat.

JD 3-0 Kal, maybe 3-1 if he's having a bad day but it's not going to be nail bitingly close
