First post here on TL and first time translating an interview (yes I am 100% Korean indeed, but my speaking and listening skills >>> reading/writing skillsx9000); thought I would translate Free's interview seeing how it's FOX vs. Stars tomorrow and Stars fans are probably wondering how their clutch Protoss player is doing. (Although my favorite Team is SKT1, I still support all Protoss players out there, even if they're on KT. ) I need all the practice I can get for my rusty Korean! (Along with my crappy Japanese; if there's any BW articles out there in Japanese I'd be happy to translate those too. ;__;)

Group D winner: (P)free

- Your thoughts on getting a victory after 2 losses
▲ Last time in Starleague, I won against (T)Fantasy and had a vZ 9 record winning streak, which is why it seemed like I felt pressured going against (Z)Hydra. The truth is that getting knocked out was not an option for me, but since I also haven’t been doing that well in Proleague, my pace seemed to have suddenly dropped. Thinking about it, every game of mine seemed to have been regrettable.

- You were in danger of getting 3 losses
▲ Since I was in a situation where either winning or losing would still mean elimination, I practiced and talked with others half-heartedly, but in the end, I personally wanted to do my best and did not want to go down with 3 losses.

- This match seemed to be overwhelming
▲ From watching lots of VODs, it seems that Zergs really do well on Pathfinder. Disregarding that, I personally felt that Protoss could still do as well, and with that self-confidence, it seems that the results of my efforts have finally paid off.

- Things aren’t going well with your team in Proleague
▲ It’s been really hard on me recently because of that. Since I’ve been so out of it, my games also seem to reflect this, so I hope I can return to my proper mindset soon. I know that it’s not because of me that my team has been losing so much, but since I feel really sorry towards my fellow teammates, I want to go out and start winning in Proleague quickly again. Truthfully, if I had lost again today, I would have fallen into an even deeper slump, but through this broadcasted game I rediscovered the importance of winning even once. I’ll have to start thinking about climbing up the ranks again.

- Tonight is Christmas Eve
▲ Christmas is important, which is why when I was a student I used to go to church on that day and such, but after becoming a pro gamer, Christmas doesn’t really have a special meaning anymore. Although I will be practicing hard as usual, if we can make people whether they are solo or are couples have a fun Christmas, that would be good; if our team would ignore our losing streak and be able to enjoy Christmas together with everyone else, that would be great.

- Any last words you want to say?
▲ I want to show games worthy of my name in the future. Recently I’ve been really disappointed at myself, but I won’t show that side of me anymore and will show you only good games from here on.

If there's any mistakes/typos, please point them out!


Also, I'd like to add a little "Lost in Translation" section here.
With translations, it's hard to convey the original tone of the speaker. Free here sounded like he had lost quite a lot of confidence in himself before finally winning a game against Modesty, so he seemed really relieved. It seems that the Stars team is in a really heavy mood after all of their losses recently, but with Free gaining a bit of self-confidence again, we may see a renewed Stars team tomorrow. Let's hope that Free comes through the clutch again tomorrow! Stars hwaiting! (And T1 too, I hope they crush MBC tomorrow, even though I do have a soft spot for them. xP)

And yes, it is indeed a bit sad how pro gamers have no time to celebrate Christmas and have to spend all their time practicing for matches instead. But hey, they have fanclubs and get showered with gifts from their fans, so... I digress.

Also, to cheer up any Jaedong fans out there:

Random comment from Fomos: "아 맞다 나 MSL은 남았지"/"Ah that's right, I still have the MSL left over"
Don't forget about that! ;P
I have nothing to cheer up Flash fans out there though. Uhh, KTFlash be tearin' it up lately in PL?

In other news, Korean netizens are just like us here; they're shocked, shaking and crying over Flash and Jaedong getting knocked out of the OSL, but some, like others here, are sick of FvJ finals for the umpteenth time and want new blood. I'm pleased to say that most people out there seem to be supporting Stork to be champion.

GO STORK GO FOR THE GOLLLLLLLLLLD YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOUR TIME HAS COME-

Mind is just scared of Stork. He knows he can't win a championship if Stork is playing.
