- Thoughts on qualifying for the MSL? ▲ Before the match I had a feeling it would be a tough battle. My opponent in Set 1, Orion, hasn't played much in the Proleague and must have had more time to prepare than I did, but my strategy countered his. I felt very lucky. [T/N Corsairs massacre Zerg air? Say it ain't so, Beesuit!]
- This is your 12th straight time in the MSL ▲I knew I'd been qualifying for a while, but I didn't know it was my 12th time. Thinking back, it's been a long time since I've played qualifiers, I've always stayed in the MSL. That said, my inability to do well has left me frustrated. Lately I've been on a hot streak, and I have to go far this time.
- What was the key to winning Game 1? ▲ Countering his Mutas was key. I kept on making Corsairs, and luckily for me, he kept on making Mutalisks. Once I defended the first wave of Muta+Scourge and countered him, I had the advantage. . - You're on an 8-game PvZ win streak ▲ I'm just playing like I do in practice, things are just going well. It feels like my opponents are intentionally losing to me, haha [T/N MATCH FIXING?!]. I'm really surprised that I'm on such a streak - someday I'll lose. Still, I want to push this as far as I can and rack up long winning streaks.
- Circuit Breaker is said to be a difficult for Protoss? ▲ The starting positions are a bit far away, and it's easy to get vulture harassed. I was in a bit of trouble in the middle, but because I had a good economy, I mustered up a strong force. After taking out my opponent's first tank I felt I had a big advantage and could win.
- Once you macroed up you went immediately for a push break ▲ During practice my troops clump together often and I have a hard time breaking tank lines. This time, my Zealots and shuttles were able to successfully close in on the tanks, and so I broke them.
- You finished Round 1 in the Proleague with a perfect record, and also qualified for the MSL - nicely done! Your goals for this season? ▲When I was in a slump I had no idea how or why I was losing, but recently matches have all been going smoothly. My goal for this season is to win an individual championship - it's been more than two years since my last one.
- Are you confident? ▲ It all depends on my own effort. If I keep on working hard, I feel that nothing's impossible. . - Final remarks? ▲ I'd like to thank all my practice partners. Paralyze and Hyuk both have OSL matches tomorrow, I hope they can advance, and we can all participate in the Selection Ceremony together.
- Thoughts on advancing to the MSL two times in a row? ▲ Has it been two straight? I had no idea, haha. It feels like my first time.
-You defeated Hyun twice, has your TvZ improved a lot? ▲ Because my practice partners were Woongjin's Zergs, I definitely improved a lot. I performed poorly in the past because I wasn't mentally in the zone yet. Now that I've got it all together, I'll do better and better.
- Your match against Bisu was unfortunate ▲ Yeah, although it's over now, I still have regrets. I had bad control and got my first tank sniped, and after finishing my 3rd, I even screwed up my rally. I played poorly. I hope to be put into Bisu's group again and challenge him once more. I lost in the Proleague to him too, so if I meet him again I have to win.
- You had been doing well in TvP ▲ I had a lot of confidence before the match, but it collapsed all of a sudden, haha. I'm working very hard right now, and I'm confident I can do better. . - There are already 3 Woongjin players in the MSL now ▲ The individual leagues really come down to your fundamentals - they all have strong fundamentals, so it's natural that they advanced, haha.
- Do you wish to do well in the individual leagues a lot? ▲ This is my first time in the individual leagues after changing teams, so I hope to put up strong performances. I don't have any concrete goals yet though.
- Final remarks? ▲ I want to apologize to Hyun-hyung for beating him twice in advancing. In MBC, Hyun's called the "Mother Zerg", but my practice partner was the "son of the Queen", so I had to win, haha. I'm really sorry. Thanks to Piano and Zero for supporting me in between the matches.

I think i'm not the only one to hope this comes true. Bisu fighting!

LOL Mother Zerg?! What a cute nickname for Hyun, even though i don't really like him
Yeah Kim Taek Yong! I hope you win both leagues (one can dream) Hoping Really's TvZ gets better since he has Soulkey and Zero to practice with. I almost forgot he had come from another team. Thanks for the interviews.

Don't say that till he takes a game off of jaedong or flash!
I'm really happy for Bisu, and I like how his goal is to win an individual title, if he does this I will be amazed and we really will have another protoss era in broodwar!
none of the above have yet taken a game from each other, so we still have to know )
But... the Total Starcraft is here. No more notion of a "build order". Just an adaptation, calculation and mind games - everywhere, every second. This season has to be a brilliant one. I'm really looking forward to seeing its final and deciding parts. )) All is there - current aces, one of them badly longing for the revenge on the other, the third one, returned from a slump when his fans almost lost hope, new promising players (Neo Generation )) ) and many many fields for them to prove themselves... or to fall on...

anyway, thanks for the translation. i know bisu's game against really was bad but i still can't wait for the vod.
Even Bisu's interviews are getting more confident. Good to see.
I still think the only way he's going to win another individual league is if somebody takes care of Flash for him (this includes somebody hypnotising Flash into believing that all his OSL/MSL games are PL Ace games), but it's encouraging to hear him talk about hard work and sound hungry for success.

It kind of does, since sometimes Bisu doesn't look like he's playing brilliantly and still manages to win.

Not knowing why you were doing poorly is a bad thing...how will you prevent it from recurring? But the hunger for a starleague title. Go get 'em, KTY!

All these people hoping for rematches against people who they lost to...often it goes badly the second time around too. Still I'll enjoy another opportunity for Really to show off exactly why he is <50%.
