EPTYellow - "Today is a special day."
![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1278226957_1.jpg)
You achieved a very important win today.
We won again today. I was so happy that I was the finisher. Today is a very special day, the fans dropped by and Ace reached 10 wins.
The fans brought incredible gifts.
Our team was in a slump before. It looks like the fans were in a slump with us. When we started winning our matches recently, more fans turned out for the games. I think they're trying to tell us that they are consistently watching us with their presents.
You beat Calm after beating Jaedong.
It's weird that I am on a win streak like this but it's even amazing looking back on the skill of opponents. Both are extremely good players and I somehow managed to beat them. Because I managed to catch such big fish, my confidence has grown as much. I feel like I can improve more now.
Ace reached 10 wins as well as 4 consecutive wins.
We failed to reach that before but now we have achieved it with me in the team so I feel awesome. Personally, I'm more glad that it's something Airforce ace with boxer couldn't achieve but the airforce ace with yellow did. When boxer used to do ceremonies for reaching 50% while in Airforce Ace, I felt like I could do that much at least. Now that I'm in Ace, I'm embarrassed I can't even do that. I'm relieved that I'm doing well late in the season.
You will soon be the most senior member of the team.
Not that much changes however. There's only a 2 month difference so I will leave the team soon too. You can't work as hard towards the end of your service so the juniors have to step up. I better continue quietly even near the end.
I think you want to achieve 10 wins personally.
I have two matches left. Wemade and CJ are both strong teams. Since Wemade lost today, they'll be an even more determined opponent. But we have goals too now as well as confidence so we want to win. Of course, I want to play and win too.
Do you think there really is a thing like "Yellow's Blessing"?
As we entered the fifth round, I resolved to play with no regrets. I am practicing really hard too. I think that had a positive influence on the watching teammates. The seniors are working hard and the team mood is very cheerful. We could achieve what we had so far because of everyone's cooperation towards a single goal. I think there finally might be some kind of synergy effect evolving.
The other winners have a tendency to get less attention when Yellow wins.
I feel really sorry about that. Anytime achieved 100 wins and Ruby won a great game, where he displayed some amazing skill. They should be receiving equal amounts of attention and I'm very sorry. It won't make up for it, but I better cheer them on too.
Your fans drew your major general and cheered with that.
It was burdensome. It's hard to even look at him because of our rank differences. It's scary just to hear his name and the fans drew him haha. It looked pretty close to him too. Our fans always bring interesting pictures and cheerfuls and it's so fun. There are messages about being a girlfriend too but because I'm in the military, I'm not really looking into that. laughs
Any last words.
Before, we had trouble playing 2 zergs because we only had 2 zergs. It only became possible when we began practicing with other teams. I want to thank Hoejja and a semi-pro named hydra from the guild foru, as well as my boss who always cheers us on. While playing I felt that Calm was a very good player, though luckily I had used his build before. I told myself that builds were very important, and I could win. I will improve my play. ^^
Sorry Milkis for ninja-ing this.
Thanks to Milkis for the other two player interviews!

Anytime: It was difficult to get a hundred wins

- You were successful in reaching a 100 wins.
▲ It was really hard getting a 100 wins (laugh). I was able to reach a 100 wins because the manager trusted me. I'm also thankful to my teammates who also trusted me.
- Were you burdened about the 100 wins?
▲ After the three game winning streak took me to 98 wins, it looked like I was able to reach 100 wins soon. I was really confident and because of that I became lazy and I didn't play very well. That built up and became a slump. I was really starving for a single win, and after I hit a six game losing streak, I wanted to give up. If I lost against Hwaseung, I might have really given up. I think I was able to reach a 100 wins today because I had won then.
- Your opponent for your 100th win was Kal.
▲ I actually expected to play against a Terran, so I was a bit shaken because a Terran showed up in the 1st set. I was confident on my Protoss match up so I was hoping it would be against Protoss. But because my opponent was Kal, a really strong player, I worried a little but I was confident since I have a winning record against him. There were a lot of fans that showed up to today's match, but strangely I didn't feel nervous at all. I don't think i Played badly either.
- You reached a 4 game winning streak, and a two digit win count right before you are released.
▲ When we were in an 18 game losing streak, I told Yellow "I'm ashamed to go out and play" (laugh). But a lot of things changed after the 18 game losing streak. If we were unable to end that losing streak, bad things may have happened but we were able to end it and play well. After a new manager came in, we were direction-less for a while but the manager organized the team well. We reached 10 wins and a 4 game winning streak, I'm really amused. This is the blessing of the Yellow god.
- Do you believe in the blessing of the Yellow god?
▲ Strangely, he was able to beat many players that were really good. I didn't think he would be able to beat Jaedong and Calm (laugh). But I really do think there is a blessing of the Yellow god.
- You won't be playing with Ace for much longer.
▲ The two games that are left have great significance. Reach and I was able to show ourselves winning quite a bit, but I want to see Casy winning. I hope he will come out with confidence and win. I hope to be released with us three showing good record to the very end.
- Will you be worried about anything about this team after your release?
▲ I actually think they''ll improve. If there are a lot of privates and private first classes, then there's no choice but to practice harder. But there is no precedent that can help them regarding their living style. But I think Much will be able to get them well. I think we'll become a stronger team. Much was saying "The people who come after ggaemo... Welcome to Hell" [T/N: Original "경모부터는 웰컴 투 헬"..] (laugh).
- Is there anything else you want to say?
▲ I want to thank the manager and the major general for giving me this opportunity. I also want to thank my mom who always watches my matches at home with great anticipation. I also want to thank my team.

Ruby: I hope to be more satisfied in the future
![[image loading]](http://fomos.kr/board/interview/1278226917_1.jpg)
- The Airfoce succeeded in a 4 game winning streak and a two digit win count.
▲Because the team's goal was 10 wins, I'm satisfied that we met our goal. I have high expectations about the winning streak that will continue in the future. I feel great. I hope to be more satisfied in the future.
- You didn't play amidst the three game winning streak.
▲ Because I have a strong size against Zerg, I thought that I had to win a game against teams like Hwaseung that has strong Zergs. But it was really nice to see my teammates' ecstatic play even though I didn't go out to play. I'm happy because we got to prove that everyone in our team are very skilled.
- Did you expect today's 4 game winning streak?
▲ I didn't wish for a 4 game winning streak, but after realizing how important every win was, we have successfully entered a winning streak. The single win right in front of was really important, so I'm really happy that we got to show off such a good result.
- What do you think is the secret to the Airforce's recent success?
▲ Our elders, who are on their least season, are playing even harder. They're trying really hard to create good memories with us. Because of that I think we have obtained goo results.
- How was today's game?
▲ If my bionic control was better, the game could have ended even earlier. My control wasn't as good as I had expected. So I got to show off my late game management abilities. I think the game went well (laugh).
- This is your 21st win this season.
▲ This is the most amount of wins I had since my debut. But it's also the season with the most amount of losses (laugh). I think these good experiences will become a fertilizer and return as an even better results.
- You'll soon get a lot of new recruits.
▲ In terms of the game, of course we're expecting quite a bit. But we have bigger expectations for our lifestyle. I'm the person who has been tangled around until it isn't possible to tangle anymore. Because of that I think I have even higher expectations for the new recruits (laugh).
- The next matchup is against WeMade.
▲ WeMade is a team with strong Terrans. But because our Protosses are very strong, I think we'll be able to win. I think we should start by being greedy about our 5th win.
- Is there anything else you want to say?
▲ There's so many people to thank.I can't mention them all, but I want to thank the major general and the military personnel. I'm also thankful to the fans that always cheer for the Airforce. And I congratulate Anytime from the bottom of my heart for his 100th win (laugh). As for Yellow, I hope he'll win more as we continue to live together.
Coach Interview!
+ Show Spoiler +
Park Dae Gyung Coach - This will be a stepping stone for next season's goal.
![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1278226999_1.jpg)
Ace finally achieved two digit wins.
We had a lot of bad results because I became coach but I think we made up for some of that with today's victory. I'm so glad-3 straight wins, 4 straight wins are both unprecedented records. They will act as stepping stones for next season's goal - the proleague finals in Gwang Ahn Ri.
Did you have any anticipation about the STX game?
Our team mood was too good, while STX's on the other hand wasn't so happy. We feared STX players but because our recent pace was good, we thought we could win.
Yellow's recent force is tremendous as well.
There are times when it's hard to practice because we don't have that many members. That's why it was hard to use two zergs in a match. Other teams have started helping, which as a result made it possible to play two zergs. We're grateful to the other teams that helped.
Anytime reached 100 wins today.
We waited a long time for it. He fell into a slump after 98 wins and that was really hard on him personally. I predicted Killer in the Hwaseung match and sent Anytime - that seemed to have been effective.
Your achieving your goals one by one.
There were several goals I set as a coach, and we're achieving them one by one. 4 win streak, 10 wins, and an interview with Yellow winning were all goals I had. Anytime's 100 wins were a goal as well. I think we need around 6 wins per round to go to the finals next season. Since we've achieved 5 wins in round 5, we've gained hope for the next season.
There are a lot of players about to leave.
I think our team can't be helped but be made of lesser known players. Other team's best players usually don't come to Ace. Players who are trying to revive their career and players who have been shunted aside by their team's lineup are all fine. I am personally satisfied with the picks. Ggaemo does well in practice and Rock is apt at strategic play. (cheeses =D) M18M also has great potential. I plan to train them well through the team seniors.
FBH and Pusan applied for this month's draft.
Despite what I want to do, I can only pick one player. I could have picked one player after saying I'd pick two, but I can't pick two after saying I'd pick one. I think a lot more players will apply after this, but more importantly I have high hopes for the new recruits as well as the applying players this month.
Any last words?
I hope we can continue this momentum and win. I'm grateful for the players that go out and win the games as well as the players who help in the back of the stage. We were able to perk up thanks to our team manager. We're also grateful for the fans that stuck with us even through the tough times. I want to return them greater joys than the 4 win streak or 10 wins.
