Reach: KT will win 4:2 or 4:3 "I feel that the younger generation will fulfill the dream that we could not achieve"
Five years later, KT and SKT meet once again in KwangAhnRi. Reach clearly remembers the finals between KTF and SKT those years ago. Wearing the KTF jersey, Reach lost to Midas's BBS rush in the first game, a painful memory that has yet to fade to this day.
Prior to the finals, Reach says he believes that KT will win 4:2 or 4:3. He continues to say that this new generation of KT is no longer composed of those that SKT have defeated [t/n: literal chinese: "crushed underfoot" hehe]. The players and coaches are all united in their belief that KT will break through and finally achieve victory.
Reach: "During breaks I would often go to the KT practice room, and I felt that the players have a better team spirit/are more united than before. Coaches and players have formed close ties with one another, and will move toward the final goal together. I felt certain we would achieve something great this season, and now that prediction has practically become reality."
In July, Reach will leave the Airforce ACE house for KwangAhnRi in order to watch the finals. He says, "While I was on Hanbit and KTF, I always showed bad results at KwangAhnRi, so every time I see the grand finals stage, I have mixed feelings about it [t/n: "微妙" omg how to translate Q_Q]. The goals and dreams that I was never able to achieve will definitely be achieved by the younger generation; I will be cheering for them."
Yellow says, "To be honest, the impression KT has been giving this season is that it would be difficult to lose even if they tried to. Against SKT it will be no different. I think the games will be very intense, and that it will go to the ace match, where KT will emerge victorious through either Flash or another player's outstanding performance."
The two legends also had messages for KT's upcoming finals.
Yellow: "KT is very hungry for the championship, I hope they won't forget this. During all this time, KT has always had excellent results other than in finals [t/n: whose fault is that? >:O], even against very strong opponents. All that's missing is a proleague title, which has always been a sad topic. While I was at KT, I also felt this way, so I hope KT can make a statement this season and finally take home the proleague championship title."
Reach: "Even though there will be more opportunities for proleague in the future, the chance to be in the finals doesn't come along often, so KT must take advantage of this opportunity. I'm confident they will break out of the cycle of second place finishes."
Yellow added: "To win the championship, the players can't be nervous. They have to perform to the best of their abilities; this point is very important. If you go out on stage thinking that you must win, it will create a lot of psychological pressure, I hope the KT players can keep this in mind when they go out there."

Feel free to correct stuff, I took some liberties and didn't translate very literally

Fantasy (Boxer) will bunker rush Flash (Yellow) b/c Flash will try to 14 CC on FS and everyone will rofl as SKT1 wins 4-3.
No one can argue that this was the best possible finals match. The two best teams are going at it. I'm rooting for SKT of course, but this series should be epic. Only wish it was a BO3, BO7. But, making it a BO1 adds more pressure, great play, and FBH type ceremonies!!!
微妙 translates literally to "subtle", or "delicate", it usually implies there's complicated and intricate details to the situation not easily summarized in broad terms. I think mixed feelings is a pretty good translation.
Yellow and Reach what better support than that! KT i want to see great games!!! if there is any reason I would cheer for KT it would be Reach.. and of course the KONG Yellow.. kekeke Thanks for the translations
this is going to be a hell of a finals!!!! cant wait til its on idc who wins it, even though i support skt...i just know that the games will be intense and it will go to ace!

This is where the teams differ. Current SKT1 players have greater experience in high pressure settings (PL finals) than current KT players.

For ManToss! This is the only reason i wouldn't mind KT winning. I hate Flash. I don't know why, but i just hate him. So i guess i am stuck between the two teams...

Anybody else thinking Yellow should maybe care more for his choice of words? And I hope they finally take SKT down.
I know what you mean but even if they tried to lose they wouldn't be able to. So bet on KT
