===
This is your third consecutive OSL final, thoughts?

I'm very happy, this is particularly heightened because my opponent is JD-hyun. Also, this OSL is hosted in China, if I get good results, this year will become the most successful year in my career.

===
You seemed to have won with ease.

I planned to play very offensively/aggressively today, so I made a lot of impromptu decisions. Due to the map, I had to play defensively in the second game; however, on other maps, I wanted to change my turtling image, so I played very offensively. My prepared tactics worked very well.

===
You lost very regrettably to Free's proxy gate in set 3.

I was very surprised. The possibility of a proxy-gate did not even occur to me. I was angry at myself for not realizing that this was a viable opening. Even though I typed "gg", but I was very angry at myself afterwards. [t/n: this was really confusing in Chinese, so the translation is probably off]

===
This is the first time since Boxer in 2001 that someone appeared in three consecutive OSL finals.

Many people have mentioned to me about this record, how it began with Boxer, and will end with me. Even though I still lack in many aspects when compared to Boxer, I and still very happy to hear these comments. I will do continue to do my best and win the title.

===
This is the first FvJ in OSL final

I was a little hurt before this series of games. [insert commentator name] joked that for viewership, it's better if Free advances. I was not happy about this comment. However, the other members of the crew all said that, on the contrary, a FvJ final guarantees good ratings, which was comforting to me. We already gave exciting matches during the MSL final, we will perform 120% and give even better games for this final.

===
You are 7-0 (series) against Protoss

My greatest opponent is JD. Many people still believe that JD is better than me at BoX. I must beat JD-hyun and make people think that I am the best.

===
JD mentioned in his last interview that this OSL final will be the most important set of games in his career.

This is very much the same for me [t/n: literal translation - I will also risk everything for this final]. Even though I have won quite a few finals in the past, I will definitely not become lazy because of this. I have many reasons to motivate me to win even more titles, my determination is not worse than that of JD.

===
If you win again, you'd have the same number of titles as JD

I don't really care about records. What's important to me is to defeat JD. Winning will make me a great player like JD, which is the most important thing to me.

===
This is the first OSL hosted outside of SK.

I feel that this final won't have the same atmosphere as a regular final, it will definitely be different from finals held in SK. However, the most important thing is that this final will be hosted in a foreign country, so I must perform well and display exciting games for our foreign fans.

===
If you win this OSL, you will become the first player to win four titles in one year.

I was not aware of this record. If i win again, I think I will be named "most damaging(?) player" [t/n: basically the best player], which makes me happy. If I win this final, I may seen the same way as some of the greatest players in the past. I very much look forward to these games.

===
Final words.

In the past, there were times when I thought too lowly of myself, and there were times when I thought too highly of myself. After my first OSL victory, I was overly confident (afterwards), which was very regrettable. However, recently, I feel that my performance and conditions are worthy of my wins from the past, and also worthy of more wins in the future. This past August has been the most successful period in my career, I accomplished all of my goals. I want to win in September, and make September (part of) my most successful months as well.

If Flash wins this finals there's no denying it anymore. Jaedong is literally the only thing between Flash and the Bonjwa title.

Broodwar probably is coming to an end. Blizzard wants to kill it to promote SC2 sales. With Flash vs Jaedong, the pinnacles of Broodwar mastery in the most iconic TvZ matchup in possibly the last OSL, this will be a momentus event. I really do hope Flash gets his Golden Mouse. His legendary skill deserves a legendary title.

Flash is already one of the greatest players of all time without any doubt, but winning this OSL would surely elevate him to the highest level. I'll be rooting for you Flash!!

That won't happen, because this is possibly the last OSL for Broodwar. There won't be years left for Jaedong to get dominated.
