Spoiler Alert!!!

+ Show Spoiler +



Korean Air OSL 2010 Finals
Final Winner: (Z)EffOrt
“I wasn’t shaken even when the score was 0-2.”


[image loading]

Q: How do you feel about your victory?
A: When (T)Flash played against (P)Pure, I wanted Flash to advance. If I managed to make it to the finals to play against Flash, I wanted to show myself from last year. Although Flash played really well, I was luckier than him today. I’m really happy.

Q: It’s your first final, so did you get nervous?
A: It was the first time playing in front of so many people. However, I think this environment suits me. I play better when there are more people. When there’s a small audience, I seem to play worse. I was really angry at myself when the score was 0-2. I prepared so hard but I was surprised by Flash’s aggressive attack. From set 3, a lot of people gave me helpful words and I was able to concentrate better.

Q: A re-game was called on game 1. Did it affect you at all?
A: It could sound like an excuse, but the waiting time after the original game 1 was really long. My mind became weaker during that time, so I couldn’t play as well as I wanted. It surprised me that there was a re-game in such a big stage.

Q: You played offensively starting game 3
A: I played aggressively starting game 3. I prepared strategies depending on the spawn locations. I spawned on locations where I could play aggressively and I played too cautiously until game 2. I decided to play fully starting game 3.

Q: What advices did you hear when you were behind 0-2?
A: Although I was losing 0-2, the match wasn’t over. I was even in the rererere-game scenario. (T)Iris, who has previous final stage experiences, helped me so well so much. He told me not to be burdened by anything. Thanks to him, I was able to set my mind correctly. My manager also told me similar things.

Q: Your rererere-game experience seems to have helped you today
A: I feel that I definitely changed after that incident. I was behind 0-2, but I was not shaken at all. After hearing good advices, I was able to make a comeback.

Q: You found Flash’s proxy barracks in set 4.
A: Honestly, I didn’t play a lot of BoX’s in my life so I didn’t have a completely idea of what to do. However, I realized a lot of things today. I won easily in set 3, so I felt that Flash would try something like that in set 4. This wasn’t what I had originally planned. I trusted my instincts and sent the Overlord straight to the middle of the map. I saw the center Barracks and thought “he fell into it”. If I put my guard down too early, I could have lost so I tried my best until the end.

[image loading]

Q: How was the last game for you?
A: I thought a lot about it after a re-game was called. Rather than thinking I should win the game, I played without any pressure.

Q: Did you think that Flash would do 14CC in the last set?
A: Rather than thinking about it, Flash blocked his entrance in set 1 so I had to think a lot about this build order. I was aiming to destroy fast expo builds.

Q: You made the entrance by coming down from a crane. Flash’s appearance seemed cooler than yours, so were you jealous?
A: I like to ride those things. I became a dizzy because the thing kept on shaking. Flash did make a better appearance but since he was the past champion and because he’s the best player right now, I couldn’t complain.

Q: Your teammates must have helped you a lot
A: I’ve always said this, but I think our Terran players are the best players. I’m really thankful that they helped me so much. I will have to treat them soon.

Q: How will you use your prize money?
A: Although I’m an adult, I trust my parents with my money so I will give it to them.

Q: There are a lot of bad things happening in CJ in addition to eSports.
A: There have been a lot of bad incidents recently. We will have to try harder to heal our fans’ scars. The atmosphere in our team will get better due to my win so we will change a lot. We will finish strong in Proleague.

Q: Anything else?
A: There were so many fans today. My family and my relatives all came to watch me. A lot of people came so I want to thank them. I hope they continue to cheer for me.

+ Show Spoiler +

- 우승을 차지한 소감이 어떤가?
▲ 박세저어 선수와 이영호 선수가 경기할 때 내심 이영호 선수가 올라오길 바랐다. 내가 결승에 가게되면 최강의 프로게이머인 이영호와 붙는다면 09년 김정우의 실력을 보여주고 싶었다. 이영호 선수가 굉장히 잘하셨는데 내가 운이 조금 더 좋았다. 정말 기쁘다.

- 첫 결승이었는데 긴장되지는 않았나?
▲ 국내에서 이렇게 많은 분들 앞에서 경기한 것은 처음이다. 하지만 난 체질인 것 같다. 사람이 많으면 경기가 더 잘된다. 관중이 적으면 오히려 게임이 잘 안되는 것 같다. 사실 0:2 상황까지는 스스로 화가 많이 났다. 준비를 정말 많이했는데 이영호 선수의 거센 공격에 당황하고 말았다. 3세트부터 주위에서 좋은 조언도 해주시고, 집중한 것이 좋았다고 생각한다.

- 1세트에서 재경기 판정이 내려졌는데, 지장은 없었나?
▲ 변명으로 들릴지는 모르겠지만 1세트 재경기 이후 대기 시간이 길었다. 그 때 마음이 약해지기도 했다. 제대로 플레이를 하지 못했다. 큰 무대에서 재경기 판정이 나서 당황스럽기는 했다.

- 3세트부터 공격적인 플레이를 펼치던데.
▲ 3세트부터 공격적인 플레이를 했다. 준비를 많이 한 만큼 위치에 따라 전략을 생각해 놓았다. 공격적인 플레이를 할 수 있는 자리가 걸리기도 했고, 2세트까지 너무 소극적이었다고 생각했다. 그래서 적극적으로 경기를 하려고 마음 먹었다.

- 0:2 상황에서 어떤 조언을 들었나?
▲ 0:2로 지고 있었지만 경기는 끝난 것이 아니지 않나. 나는 재재재재경기도 했다. 결승전 경험이 있는 (변)형태 형이 평소와 다르게 너무 잘해줬다. 부담갖지 말라고 조언을 해줬다. 그 덕분에 마음을 잡을 수 있었다. 감독님도 비슷한 말씀을 해주셨다.

- 재재재재경기의 경험이 오늘 도움이 된 것 같은데.
▲ 재재재재경기 이후로 확실히 내가 바뀐 것 같기는 하다. 0:2로 밀리고 있었지만 미동도 하지 않았다. 좋은 조언까지 들어서 역전을 할 수 있었다.

- 4세트에서 이영호의 센터 배럭을 발견했다.
▲ 사실 다전제를 많이 해보지 않아서 어떤 식으로 해야할 것인지 감을 잘 잡지 못한 상태였다. 하지만 오늘 하면서 많은 것을 깨달았다. 3세트에서 손쉽게 승리를 따냈는데, 4세트에서는 이영호 선수가 약이 올라서 그런 전략을 할 것 같았다. 원래 준비한 것은 이게 아니었다. 내 감을 믿고 중앙에 오버로드를 보냈다. 중앙에서 배럭을 보고 '걸려 들었구나'라는 생각을 했다. 이겼다고 생각하면 역전을 당하는 경우가 많았기 때문에 마음을 놓지는 않았다.





- 마지막 세트는 어땠는지 궁금하다.
▲ 1세트 때 한번 재경기가 나오면서 굉장히 고민이 많았다. 5세트는 우승을 하겠다는 생각보다 부담없이 게임을 하자는 생각을 했다.

- 5세트에서는 이영호의 생더블을 염두에 두고 있었는가?
▲ 염두에 뒀다기 보다는 1세트 때 이영호 선수가 입구를 막았다. 그래서 굉장히 고민을 많이 하고 준비한 빌드다. 생더블이나 배럭 더블 등 빠른 멀티를 노린 빌드였다.

- 입장할 때 크레인틀 타고 내려왔는데 무섭지 않았나? 그리고 이영호의 등장신이 조금 더 멋있었는데 질투나지는 않았는지 궁금하다.
▲ 원래 놀이기구를 잘 타는 편이다. 별다른 느낌은 없었는데 흔들리는 바람에 약간 어지럽더라. 이영호 선수가 나보다 멋있게 등장하기는 했는데 지난 시즌 우승자이고, 최강의 선수니까 그 정도는 어쩔 수 없다고 생각한다.

- 많은 팀원들이 도와줬을 것 같다.
▲ 항상 말해왔는데 우리 팀 테란 선수들이 가장 잘하는 것 같다. 우리 팀 테란 선수들이 정말 열심히 도와줘서 고맙다. 도와준 만큼 내가 크게 한 턱 쏴야할 것 같다.

- 상금은 어떻게 사용할 생각인가?
▲ 성인이기는 하지만 아직 부모님께서 내 수입을 관리해주고 계신다. 일단 부모님께 드릴 생각이다.

- 요즘 e스포츠 뿐만 아니라 CJ에도 안 좋은 일이 있는데.
▲ 안 좋은 일이 많은 요즘이다. 지금부터 열심히 해서 팬들의 상처를 치유해줘야 한다고 생각한다. 앞으로 우리 팀도 내 우승으로 인해서 분위기를 타서 확 달라질 것 같다. 프로리그에서도 힘차게 올라갈 수 있을 것이다.

- 더 하고 싶은 말이 있다면?
▲ 오늘 정말 많은 팬들이 와주셨다. 가족과 친척도 서른 분 정도 오셨다. 굉장히 많이 오셨는데 모두 감사드린다. 앞으로도 더욱 많이 응원해주셨으면 좋겠다.

One thing I would like to ask from all of you is to stay away from extreme fanboyism/fangirlism since the LR is exploding with them already. Both of them played well in such a pressuring environment. Thanks!

YES!!!! THANK YOU LYRIENE!!! OUR OWN TRANSLATOR Bonjwa.

After your cousin though. He's still done more because of Hyungjoon's program.

Gonna start reading now.

Edit:

OK, finished reading.

Ironic that Iris helped Effort to pull a ggplay.

I knew that Overlord scout in game 4 wasn't a coincident.

I wish there is more personal revelation from Effort than this. Seems a pretty standard interview.

But whatever, GO EFFORT!

A gold medal won by Effort, a CJ Entus rookie helped by Iris who was so close to achieving one himself and Coach Cho, one of the oldest serving coaches and definitely the one who trusts most in his players...

Is there anything better for a CJ fan?

Yeah right.

Being able to keep a strong mindset after losing two games is quite admirable.

Specially considering the lack of experience.
