Kal!

[image loading]

It’s your sixth time in the MSL Ro16.
-Even though it was a difficult path to advance, I’m glad to have been able to. Recently I’ve been slumping, and I think this can at least help the situation a bit, which is good.

You wanted to use DTs to end the first game.
-The individual leagues conflicted with the SPL schedule, so I didn’t have too much time to practice. I just played as if I was playing an in-house. Good thing the strategy worked well.

The winner’s game turned into a long game, but unfortunately you lost.
-It feels like I gave the game away. My decision making wasn’t good, and in the early game I didn’t have a good unit composition. Feels like I rushed things. I kept rushing things, and it feels like I threw away the win. I should’ve played more calmly, but unfortunately I didn’t do so.

You also played a long game in the last game against MVP.
-It’s a map that the Terran has an easy time controlling [T/N: Terran imba] I predicted it would be a difficult match, but the reality was even more painful than I imagined. Also, the opponent changed his style before, and even prepared new strategies. It felt the game was very hard.

You’re the first Protoss to advance this season, is it because of the maps are disadvantaged for Ps?
-PvT is really hard to play. These maps are way too easy for Terran [T/N: Terran imba] If it’s a map like Match Point, Protoss has the initiative, but on Odd Eye and Triathlon, the Terran has the control of everything, it feels like we have to wait for a Terran to mess up to win. Like in today’s situation, it was because I was lucky in the final battle. The opponent pushed out too hurriedly, which led to the situation. If he was more calm and just stayed in the center of the map, it would’ve been hard for me.

Your Ro16 opponent is your rival Jaedong.
-From my perspective, I really wanted to advance as the 2-0 winner, but since it’s already like this, this time, I will try my best to prepare, meet the challenge, and strive to advance. I’ve lost too much in this period, so I really want to win once. If I think like this I think I can play well. Luckily it’s not the Ro4 or the finals, since I’m meeting him early, I will beat him and then advance to the bigger stages.

Your record against Jaedong is 3-13, with 9 straight losses.
-Even though I knew the record was very tilted, I didn’t know there was a 9 loss streak. It seems like I’m just food for Jaedong [laugh] I don’t want to contribute too many more wins to him, it’s time for me to win now.

Goal this season?
-The first stage goal is the Ro8. I just want to focus on the games in front of me, and I won’t look too far ahead, and I don’t have any plans. Because a difficult opponent is right in front of me, I will put everything into preparing for this upcoming game.

Last words?
-Recently the team has been losing a lot, I know the fans are worried about this. We will work hard to break the slump soon. I also want to thank the teammates who helped me practice on these new maps.

No Light. Chinese person didn’t translate it, and even if she did, I hate Light, so =P

Geez.... Kal, as much as I like you I wouldn't bank on on your winning over JD. He is 21 wins 1 loss in his last 22 ZvP games (A large chunk of those wins are wins over you as well). That's approaching Oov-like dominance.

I'm sad that snow didn't advance, but he wouldn't have stood a chance against Jaedong anyways, much less kal lol.

LOL Light is truly worthy of the name "invisible terran." Even his interviews are invisible. What a baller.

Poor Kal, he has to play Jaedong again too. Sucks for him.

If kal could just avoid flash and jaedong, he'd be like... semi finalist.

If Kal is finding PvT very hard, PvZ must be utterly impossible for him. ~.~
No I'm never serious.

Terran's just imba, the perceived PvT imbalance is non-existent ~.~

It really sucks for Kal having to play Jaedong SOOOO unlucky.
He's Kespa's no3 ranked player at the moment after some stellar results but despite his PvZ being very good when it matters... I still see Jaedong winning,

why does Kal have to play JD anyway. I thought MSL matchups are choosen by KESPA ranking (highest KESPA ranked vs lowest etc)?
