- Thoughts on winning Day 1?
▲  s2: I didn't expect to play Sacsri, but I'm happy that I won. It feels like our team won rather easily today, but we will not lose focus and win tomorrow, too.
▲  Bisu: It feels good to win Day 1. Our momentum is good right now, so we will definitely take tomorrow's series too.
▲ Soo: I'm happy that we won, but in Round 1 we lost the first day to CJ Entus, so we need to continue to stay focused.
▲ Best: We won today with a good 4-1, and since  Fantasy and Hyuk weren't even played today, we will crush FOX tomorrow too.
- Who were you expecting FOX to send for the first set?
▲ s2: Since BaBy has a good win rate on Roadrunner, I practiced mainly ZvT to snipe BaBy, but I didn't rule out the possibility of having to play a zerg.
- In a game where Pure was dominating you, you were able to make a great comeback.
▲ Bisu: That game was so stressful. Pure's shuttles nicely navigated around my observer paths. Also, I was only ahead in upgrades. But, during the final battle, even though my army composition was meh, I felt like I would have more units. I felt like my final attack would be my only han-bang timing, and it went well. Pure had the 3, and I didn't even have my 9, so if that attack failed, it would be GG for me.
- It must have been stressful having a losing record for the post-season.
▲ Soo: I feel so good now that I've secured a win. I was feeling so down lately, but I've regained my hopes because I sniped ACE Ty. Honestly, I expected to play a protoss today, so I practiced mainly ZvP. But, since I practiced so much ZvT while we were playing CJ, I wasn't worried or nervous.
- Did you expect Midas to play Bachanic? (Bio-Mechanic)
▲ Best: Yeah, I had a sense he would go Bachanic. I used a reaver build, so when my observer saw his army coming, I didn't panic.
- The SKTosses are 9-0.
▲ Bisu: We didn't contribute much during the regular season, so we felt compelled to try harder this time. We have made a promise with the fans that we will go to Gwang-Ahn-Ri.
▲ Best: I don't know about Bisu, but I feel like I'm strangely having good luck.
- The SKT zergs were failing, but you guys must be happy for today's wins.
▲ s2: The results vs CJ weren't good, but we didn't lose hope. We practiced as hard as ever, and I'm satisfied we were able to win.
▲ Soo: Because of our losses, we felt even more determined to win. During practice, we tried not to think about our losses and focus on winning.
- Any last words?
▲ s2: I read the Round 1 interviews after FOX defeated MBC, and they said our zerg line-up was weak? I think they are mistaken. Our team can win easily if the zergs perform well, so I will practice hard to win again tomorrow.
▲ Bisu: Heheh. I will win tomorrow too, and I hope the team doesn't grow overconfident in today's win. Its not long now, and I hope the team will continue to stay strong until the end.
▲ Soo: Like s2 hyung, I could not accept what FOX said about us. We will continue to train so we could continue to win and hold up our name.
▲ Best: I will continue to win so SKT will progress higher.

awesome, thanks for translation <3333
I was really surprised when T1 didn't send out fantasy or hyuk. I'm sure they could have 4-0'd if they did, but oh well.
URL code at the bottom for source is broken btw. You have an unnecessary '/'

I wonder how Best knew Midas would go biomech; he doesn't explain...
Bisu's han-bang against Pure showed awesome star-sense. He saw one last opening and went for it 100%. GG.
|
lolwut? Best says he's been having good luck? It was patently bad luck to go 3 nesux against Midas' build, but I suppose he was lucky to have gone reavers.
Anyway, thanks for the translation! I'm really starting to like SKT1 for some reason. ^^ Hope they win the Playoffs! :D

Well out of the two situations where Best would have survived:
a) Stayed 2 base longer, scout it, crush it.
b) Fast 3rd + reaver with good micro.
b would leave him in a better position afterwards, although it's riskier. It's because of this that I think he said he was lucky.

Thanks for the translations - really wanted to see these interviews.
Hah, looks like belittling the opposition didn't work for the WeMade team - got them SKT zergs all riled up!
Don't get complacent, SKT T1! Should be an easy victory tomorrow.
As for Best's call on Midas's build - Best/Midas being former teammates would know each other's tendencies, but I think Best went a step further and predicted that Midas would try to exploit what was supposed to be Best's tendencies (macro build, not something with micro) and tried to consider builds that Midas could do which would take advantage of Best's style (like biomech would have), and instead prepared something to counter that.

SKT Zergs angry :D. I hope this will drive them to preform even better.
Thanks for the translations.

In addition, Midas emphasized during the past that his TvP is his weakness. Hence, it is more likely for him to practice a strategical build for a TvP.
And yes, if Best went 2 base arbiter like he did in 90% of his PvT, he would have been crushed.
Thank you for the interview.
The cameraman need to offer those kids some candies. Winners don't like smiling in these interviews.

so is Baby now officially going as Ty? (hate the new nickname btw)
and I think SKT has this tomorrow... Bisu and Best look so dominant and if fantasy can avoid a Z, that's 3 wins, and then you can play any of them for ace, don't even need a skt zerg to do a thing.

Yeah Baby's been using the Ty nick for ages. It's just we on TL seem to always use a player's first popular handle whenever we discuss the player. Hiya hasn't been using the name Hiya for awhile either but we still call him that.

Second picture is hella scary. Thanks for the translation. I love seeing SKT1 dominate the fuck out of WeMade! I would love to see Bisu vs Mind in the next one.
Also, BaBy, why are you doing so bad  . I honestly didnt think that him losing his "lucky" socks would hurt him this much.

I see... didn't know they changed their handles...

Baby's new nick is actually TY, the initials of his given name (Tae Yang). I don't much like it, but I liked it less when I thought he was going by Ty.
Thanks for the interviews! SKT zergs sound like they're out for blood.

Wow...uh...this is news to me. What name does Hiya use? Also is that why luxury would appear as practice after a while?
Also on sorta the same topic, I always call him Nal ra but I noticed rock is actually Nal rock. Is Nal in nal_ra just a clan name? Should we really be calling him rA?
Edit: Oh and killer is actually Baxter, just throwing it out there

Great interviews! thanks!
And i don't know what fox was doing. if you looked at the same 6 players who got sent out for all 3 days of CJ vs SKT, they were 3 zergs, 2 tosses and 1 terran. they still have that same lineup, just figure out the maps and snipe them!!! if fox played better / smarter they would have a chance, but i see no way for them to win tonight based on their practice performance.

Great interviews, thanks for the translations.

Dang best...: "We'll Crush fox" lol
|
wow they feel really confident and s2 treats baby as a baby.. SKT1 Fighting! I they keep this momentum they will crush Wemade today....
|
▲ (P)Best: We won today with a good 4-1, and since (T)Fantasy and (Z)Hyuk weren't even played today, we will crush FOX tomorrow too.
