Winner of Free vs Fantasy Interview by Milkis

(Z)ZerO! - The opponent may have played too relaxed
I'd like to thank Flash for practicing with me
[image loading]


- You won after losing your first match.
▲ If I lost today, I'd practically be eliminated. I'm very glad I could win today.

- Were you affected by your WCG win?
▲ I was a tiny bit tired, but it helped me warm up faster.

- Everyone thinks that this map (Dreamliner) produces intense games.
▲ If the first wave of mutalisk harass doesn't do much, Terran has a great chance to win. Though today's match ended quickly, I don't think this map favors Zerg very much. (T)HiyA was too relaxed, and when Terran spawns at 6 they want to curse (laughs). It's way too hard to defend mutalisks at 6 o'clock, but if they are defended, Terran is in a good position.

- Did this win remove the sting of losing the first match?
▲ Though I lost the last match, it didn't make me depressed, but rather gave me greater motivation to win.

- Your next opponent is (Z)Hyuk.
▲ The last match is ZvZ. Recently my ZvZ results have been ok, so I am confident I can win. In the past, I've said I was confident but then lost the match, but this time it's real (laughs).

- What will happen if there are tiebreakers?
▲ After seeing (Z)EffOrt last season, maybe they're not so bad. But the chance of being eliminated is big, so I'd like to safely advance.

- Last words?
▲ Many fans are waiting for (T)HiyA's ceremonies, but I can't lose the match just to see his ceremonies. I hope that he can win in the future for the fans' entertainment. I'd like to thank (T)Flash and my teammates for helping me practice, even though our team is on break.

- (P)free is playing soon.
▲ Recently Free has had a lot of confidence in OSL. In this situation, it's good for him to lose a game, but even if he loses he shouldn't become dejected. Last time when I lost he laughed at me.

Source: http://sc.plu.cn/note/2010-08-02/20456.html

(T)Sea! - I'll cheese more in the future
I won pretty easily
[image loading]


- After two wins, you've practically advanced.
▲ Pure clearly analyzed my play a lot, but I was lucky today, and won easily. It's a little like I lucked out a win. 2fac was my prepared strategy, but I did some impromptu play, and I'm very happy I could win. I'm even happier than when I beat (Z)Jaedong.

- You usually like to take it to the late game, but today's change of strategy was very entertaining.
▲ Originally I would cheese only if I thought I would win. Mostly I played very safely, but in the future I should cheese more.

- You still have a match with (Z)Hydra.
▲ Though I'm not too familiar with his play, but I'm not too worried. There's plenty of time to practice, so I'll be fine as long as I prepare.

- Your MSL opponent is (Z)Jaedong.
▲ On a balanced map, T is favored in TvZ. Jaedong is very good at expanding (macro?), so this matchup will definitely be very exciting; playing him is my honor.

- We heard you're going to GwangAhnRi.
▲ I'm going for the All-Star match. Unfortunately, I'm the only one on my team going, so I'm lonely. Still, I want to see the fans in Pusan, so I'm very happy. I will have a good time talking with Stork. I also have the chance to watch KT vs SKT in the Proleague Finals; I eagerly await this match. Also, in the interview after the last match with SKT I said something a bit unclear, and coach Oov may have misunderstood me, so I'd like to clear that up.

- Last words?
▲ Barca has come to Korea, but because of MSL I might not be able to watch. Though I can watch it on TV, but I am definitely excited for it. And Messi, I'll visit him in Spain when I have time.

Source: http://sc.plu.cn/note/2010-08-02/20457.html

(T)Leta! - After my successful vulture harass, I knew I won
I'm happy to have 2 wins
[image loading]


- How do you feel about getting your second win?
▲ I didn't expect to get 2 wins in my group, so I'm very excited. I'm ready for my 3rd match with (Z)Action.

- Your vulture harass was effective.
▲ In practice I can often kill a worker, but I didn't think I could manage to do so much damage. After the harass, I was sure I won as long as I kept my wraiths alive.

- You appeared to be in very good condition today.
▲ My marine micro at the end wasn't good enough, perhaps because I relaxed too much after doing so well in the opening. If I microed that last wave of marines horribly, the game could've turned around.

- You still have a match with (Z)Action.
▲ The map is Dreamliner, so there might be some variables. I've been practicing a lot though, so being a progamer I should be able to exploit the map through sufficient practice. Recently Action has been playing very well, so I'm nervous, but I'm definitely no weak player so I'm confident I can win. Since he's a Zerg player. (T/N LOL)

- Many people say you love 2port wraith too much.
▲ 2port wraith transitions into M&M; I'm confident in my M&M micro, so that's not really an issue. 2port wraith is just a build that helps me win with my M&M transition. [T/N check this please lol]

- Your best result in the OSL has been making the Ro8.
▲ I am excited for this season. As long as I work hard towards my goal of the semifinals, I am confident I can advance even higher.

- Last words?
▲ I'd like to thank my teammates who helped me practice during their off time. I will continue to practice hard.

Did this win remove the sting of losing the first match?
▲ Though I lost the last match, it gave me greater motivation [momentum?] than being depressed. [T/N huh...]

I'm not looking at the original Korean, but it would make sense if he said "I lost the last match, but rather than making me depressed, that gave me greater motivation".

Basa (T/N help? football player... agh) has come to Korea, but because of MSL I might not be able to watch. Though I can watch it on TV, but I am definitely excited for it. And Messi, I'll visit him in Spain when I have time.

I believe "Basa" is Barca, or FC Barcelona (a spanish football club which Messi plays for)

Seems like progamers, terran and zerg alike, have reached the conclusion that on a balanced map T>Z

As someone with an emotional investment in the outcome of the game... yes I will have a stroke as well. I remember having a stroke the last time JD played Hydra in the MSL.

the ZvZ matchup doesn't help much either.

They said it, TVZ is imba. And I don't know why so many people hate Leta for using 2star wraith. Seeing his last game against Effort, more players should use it. I get that its a cheesy build, but so what as long as u win. I think Leta should keep using. When he uses 2 star, the only player I've seen beat him is Jaedong

Another progamer admits it. Can people please stop denying imbalance now? :D

"NO ITS NOT IMBA ITS ALL ABOUT THE MAPS LAWL!!"
Yes it is (slightly) imba

Well, you can usually more-or-less balance a map for a single matchup, but it usually skews the other two mus heavily. So usually when you talk about a "balanced map" you mean all mu results are fairly even (say, within about a 55/45 skew).
