(Z)Jaedong: "I want to create the finals where I won't embarrass myself."
"I advanced all the way just to repay my fans' support."


[image loading]


- This is your third consecutive MSL finals.
▲ I have tried very hard to forget about the past two finals' results. I started this MSL with the mindset that I have to do my best for every single match, and that is how I got this far, thus I am rather satisfied. And because it was a tough climb up, it is all the more reason why I want to win this season.

- How was your game today?
▲ I expected a tough series today. I played while relying on my experience, but being adaptable was very difficult as Light has a very strong foundation and mechanics. Not only that, he prepared several builds, thus it was very difficult for me to play. I prepared for today, but it was so difficult that I had to rely on my experience instead of any prepared builds so that I could adapt quickly. I think trusting my experience paid off in the end.

- At the end of the third set, you were on the verge of losing the series.
▲ I made many errors in the 2nd and 3rd games, and I think Light's late game play was fantastic. At the end of the third set, I did a lot of self-review of the game, and I thankfully managed to win in the end today because of luck. However, I think Flash is a much more formidable opponent, and thus, I should prepare harder than ever before.

- You can finally settle the score between you and Flash's finals score of 1:1.
▲ I mentioned this in the past, but I think I will face Flash a lot more often. Right now, it may be 1:1, but I believe that will continue to increase in the future. I lost in the previous finals so I strongly believe that I should win this MSL so as to show that I am not someone weak enough to be crushed by Flash's current performance. Also, I feel that if Flash wins this MSL once again, he will completely dominate everything. That is how dominating Flash is at the moment.

- How did you prepare for the route to the Finals?
▲ I practiced with my team players as well as personal practice partners such as (T)Bee and (T)Sexy, and it is because of their help that I managed to take down strong Terran players and advance this far. I am playing a Terran once again in the finals (laughs), and because of me, they are suffering quite a bit, but I promise to treat them to good food every day next week, so I hope they will continue helping me.

- You have to head straight to WCG.
▲ The WCG allows us to qualify regardless of position, thus even if I lose today, I just have to win in the third/fourth placing. Thus, I just want to enjoy myself today.

- Your schedule is extremely packed next week. However, because of someone else who has an equally packed schedule, I am certain you will get fired up, will you not? Also, are there any issues with maintaining your health and stamina?
▲ It really helps to have someone like him (laughs). Seeing Flash calms me down and motivates me to do better. Even with my busy schedule, I exercise regularly, which I think helps me maintain my stamina. I'm also eating a lot of health food. My fans also prepare a lot of stuff for me, and I want to thank them repeatedly.

- Anything you want to say?
▲ This season was extremely tough, but I managed to advance into the finals. My fans supported me and cheered me on for every match, thus with my desire to repay their support, I played to my fullest. To be honest, while preparing for today's games, I was so exhausted from practice that there were times I almost lost confidence in myself. But every time, I would read and listen to my fans' supports and gain strength to move on from them. I want to practice hard with the remaining time I have so as to create an awesome finals which I will not be disappointed about.

Its ridiculous how far ahead of everyone Jaedong and Flash are.

Also, Jaedong seems to have really improved in TvZ. Taking down light and Sea in Bo5s is quite an achievement with such a horrible map pool

Edit: Btw I think the title should read semifinals B winner

This doesn't sound like the (Z)Jaedong I know. I guess today's losses shook him up a bit, since it sounds like none of the games turned out the way he expected them to (even the wins). He sounds almost intimidated by (T)Flash. When you overhype the opponent so much, you're already putting yourself at a disadvantage psychologically. Hopefully, he regains his confidence before the finals and returns to his usual self.

Also, (Z)Jaedong really needs better practice partners. He's always going to be a disadvantage if he keeps practicing with the likes of (T)Bee and (T)Sexy while (T)Flash gets help/practice from the likes of (Z)EffOrt and (Z)ZerO.

The curbstomping last finals might have something to do with it. On top of that only 2 games today went to lategame, and jaedong lost both of them. You know Flash is gonna bring an even better endgame and not be stupid enough to lose early like light did

Strong statement from Jaedong.

Jaedong = the hero that stands against Flash "tyranny" (lol) or control over the pro scene?

I still think neither player is an underdog against the other.

I really don't think there's any reason to feel too demoralized by the last MSL. In the end, Flash won simply because he was better prepared and read Jaedong perfectly. As far as skill goes, the last MSL really didn't prove much.

I just got spoiled by clicking on this thinking it was the winner of Flash and Fantasy.

Light Jaedong is semi finals B.

Jaedong Connor.



I'm excited for another Flash vs. Jaedong finals, but they seem to rarely meet expectations. It usually turns out to be more of an unseen battle of wills than a battle of Starcraft:

-The games in Lee Ssang Rok seem to be relatively short.
▲I think so too. Whenever we meet, the spiritual battle at the beginning of the game is very strong. Since the person who wins the spiritual battle pushes out strongly from the beginning, the games tend to be very short.


At any rate, thanks for the quick interview translations, kona.
I'm not as thunk as dreople pink I am.

Poor Light. Light is so fucking good at TvZ, he was so close.
