Damn, Fantasy was eliminated but......

SOULKEY!!!

This kid's taking the whole dang thing I tell you. Just a shame he has to take down ZerO in the next round. Hopefully we'll get at least one epic hive tech ZvZ match from them. Pretty suprised at the pact to not practice thing if there is any truth to it. At first I assumed it was joke, but then the part about him saying ZerO might sneak some practice makes me wonder.

Soulkey Fighting!

It's awesome that Great is going to invite his teammates dinner. Nice guy.

I can't believe I missed this series, what with being a Khan fanboy and a Zerg player.

Q: Your Ro16 opponent will also be a zerg, Action.
A: Because it's ZvZ, I feel no pressure. Instead, I think action should be feeling a lot of pressure. Right now my goal this MSL is even higher than Ro8 before. And I'm definitely going to achieve this goal.

Ohoho, Mr. Hot Stuff talkin' here! We will see how you fare against the Mafia Zerg...

Q: What's your goal this MSL?
A: My goal is stay longer than Zero hyung. So I can't lose the next match. Although we tell each other that no one should practice, I think Zero may practice in secret. I really hope he doesn't do that. So we can go at it fairly.

Man, if Zero was reading that, he would SO go out and practice hardcore in secret... I mean, who wouldn't? ;P Every man for himselllllf-

Thanks for the translations and your hard work! Smacktalk is always fun to read when players get pumped up.

Sad that fantasy could not pull out one of his games against Sk

And im surprised that SK decided to force hive against great. Great is probaly the zerg outside of Stars' house with the most hive experience. I think he would have been better off going for standard.

It may have been pride...last time great and soulkey met it also went to hive and soulkey got whooped. he may have been trying to prove a point about Woongjin zerg's superior zvz hive tech play.

the first

SoulKey is the creator of the SK terran build(where SK means (T)

SoulKey)

both players play exceptionally well today and deserved to go into the Ro16.

Haha, I actually knew that soulkey. But didn't really think of him as a possible candidate for today's tlpd.

Yeah I agree, smack talk is good. The whole "I'll try my hardest" thing just comes off disingenuous.

And while I like to say I worked "hard" on the translation, it really just took me about 10 minutes to do. I have years of part-time translation experience, and I follow BW in China due to lack of youtube and slow TL streams. So it's pretty easy to do.

Hahaha, that still doesn't discredit you for getting thanked and such. I'm envious- shamefully as a Korean, translating Japanese is easier and takes half the time to translate over Korean for me since I'm currently taking Japanese classes and don't get much Korean reading/writing practice at all, which is why I always make spelling errors when writing Hangul like a 2nd grader.

I really wish Japan would have a bigger BW fanbase similar to China's though, because I'm trying to introduce my Japanese friend to BW and he is SO confused about everything! XD I'm not giving up though; he still has to watch 9247398614 more videos of pimp plays.

Soulkey vs ZerO could make history in the MU of ZvZ, who knows what will happen there. Really hoping ZerO comes out on top though, due to SK having more of a future as a player while ZerO has been in the scene for quite awhile and doesn't have an individual league gold let alone silver. With the death of BW pending I'd like to see my zerg hero achieve something like that :<
