Today's Korean Air Starleague 2010 Semi-Final A Winner Is

(T)Flash in his winning moment~





(T)Flash, "There's still a long road ahead of me"
"I'll work hard so that I can become the definite 'number one' player"


[image loading]


- You’ve now qualified for the finals two seasons in a row.
▲ I am really happy about being able to get to the finals two consecutive seasons in a row. Now, the golden mouse is left and I’ll make sure that I can win it.

- It must have been hard for you to prepare for two straight days of BoX matches.
▲ Though in interviews I spoke very confidently, to be honest, preparing for today’s match was very difficult. I didn’t practice as much as I would’ve liked so I was worried, but the games played out well and so with good luck I was able to win 3:0.

- You won all your games today pretty powerfully.
▲ I thought if I won yesterday’s games, I would be able to win today’s games too. With yesterday’s win, I gained a lot of confidence and my momentum has increased as well. Because of these things I think I was able to play well today.

- It seems you’ll never lose to protoss.
▲ Personally, I feel that my tvp is my weakest matchup. During practice, losing isn’t infrequent but for some strange reason, during my actual live matches things always seem to work out. I do believe compared to my other matchups tvp is my weakest, but this might just be because my team’s protoss are very strong.

- Did you predict you would win 3:0?
▲ Honestly, I thought I would either win 3:2 or lose. Because I knew (P)Pure hyung had a long time to prepare, I was feeling nervous, but for some reason, during the live games everything played out very smoothly.

- At this rate it seems you’ll be in both league finals again
▲ If that happens I think I’ll be ecstatic. It’s a record that’s hard for any player to set, and I feel like it's also a record that would be extremely hard for anyone to beat; I think it’s great that I’m already in position to set such a record. I’ll make sure that I can win the OSL twice in a row.

- Your playing style seems to have changed a bit.
▲ In today’s game, I did switch it up a bit. If the games stretched out to long matches, I thought it would be too physically exhausting for me so I focused on my timing pushes and I think that was on point today. Canceling my starport during the 2nd set was also a momentary decision. For some reason I felt if I just massed up units and pushed out, I would be able to win.

- Some evaluate you as the closest thing to the perfect terran.
▲ It’s quite an honor. I am thankful for such a label but personally I believe I’m still lacking. There’s still a long road ahead of me since I’m still young and growing a lot as a player. I don’t think I’m definitely the “number one player” yet, and I’ll only earn such a title by working harder.

- Between (P)Kal and (Z)EffOrt, who do you want to play in the finals?
▲ Because I’ve already played a lot of protoss, if (Z)EffOrt advances I think I’d be able to show more entertaining play.

- The OSL finals location this time has been decided to be held at Kimpo International Airport.
▲ Honestly I heard this news a month ago from the PD, and when I heard that I remember thinking I really wanted to get to the finals. I think if I win the finals at such a location it would be pretty awesome, and between my OSL victories I think it could quite possibly be the most memorable.

- Last words you want to say?
▲ I want to say thank you to (P)Stats and (P)Violet who stayed behind to practice with me despite the fact that it was the team’s day off. Also, after our team lost to Samsung KHAN in the proleague, I felt like our team was looked down upon by other teams, but from now on I’ll make sure that our team kills the other teams. Lastly, tomorrow is Parents Day (t/n: national holiday in Korea) and though I can’t go see them personally, I want to give my parents today’s win as a present. On top of this, I’ll make sure that I can win in the finals as well.

Flash being very kind to Pure in this interview, it seems.

And it's pretty amazing that in recent interviews Flash keeps saying he has a lot to work on in his game still. I'd love to see what better than his current form looks like. =P
Oh, my eSports

Thanks for the translation. The " I'll make sure our team KILLS the other teams" made me laugh.
Nothing to it but to do it.

rofl flash is so ridiculous...

he takes his manner a bit too far I think, I mean "I thought I would win 3:2 or lose", are you for rela? But then again I guess it's his never underestimating his opponents that makes him as dominant as he is. If Savior had had that mindset history might have gone down differently..
