Today's winners . . .

[image loading]
(T)Flash and (P)Stats!

[image loading]
Thumbs up to (T)Flash who performed a reverse 3-kill~

Sorry no (P)Stats interview





(T)Flash, "I'm confident in being an ace player during Winners League"
"I'll focus on my health so I can show a better side of myself"

[image loading]


- How do you feel about winning the opening match for Winners League against your rival team, SK Telecom?
▲ I’m extremely happy. I feel like I’ve shown satisfactory gameplay in front of my fans so I feel I’ll be able to continue to ride this momentum forward.

- You showed a great reverse 3-kill today.
▲ I think I did a lot of 3-kills last year too. I feel like I've more used to 3-kills than all-kills. Along with 3-kills, I think I’ve grown used to being the ace of the team that plays last when the team is in trouble. Knowing that the team was able to win with my help makes me happy, and it makes me feel like I'm doing my part for the team. Though I did lose in a lot of ace-matches last season, because I’m confident in playing strongly in winners league, I feel I’ll be able to repay my teammates for my past ace losses.

- You had a really close game with (T)Fantasy.
▲ Though my hands weren’t completely warmed up, it's true that (T)Fantasy hyung also played very well. During the middle of the game, my hands finally loosened up and I thought to myself I would be able to come back, and because it was a situation where there was no one else that could play for my team, I think I exerted even more effort.

Your drops on 12o'clock were successful.
I kept looking for a weak spot and through scans I was able to determine where (T)Fantasy's dropships were. I knew that even if I dropped at 11, because it was far he wouldn't be able to defend properly so I decided to do a big drop. After that I thought to myself I would be able to win if I just held my ground, but he came in with unsieged tanks. I thought it would be difficult to defend but it was easier than I expected so I was able to win the game.

- How was your game with (T)Ssak?
▲ Though I did have a loss against him in MSL, I already erased that memory. I thought that if I just played as usual, I would be able to win. In this particular game, I reached a point where I wouldn't be able to lose, but it was just extremely frustrating because in a situation where I was waiting for (T)Ssak to attack, he was holding his ground. So I decided to be aggressive and in that moment things became a bit dangerous with (T)Ssak dropping at 7o'clock and destroying a lot of starports, but it’s a relief I was able to win in the end.

- You had an ace match with (P)Bisu.
▲ I predicted he would come and practiced as such. Though I was confident, with his gas-steal at the beginning of the game the start was a bit disadvantageous. Because I was able to come back from a difficult game, I was extremely happy.

- Last season, you had 20 wins during Winners League. What's your goal for this season?
▲ Last season, it wasn't 20 wins but 23 wins. I don't want to ignore the 3 wins I had during the finals match. Last time, including the finals I had 23 wins. That number is very special to me, so if I am able to do well, including the 3rd and 4th round I want to be able to double that number to 46 wins.

Other teams might play on the fact that you always come out as ace player
I don't always play ace player. The coaching staff are great at planning out strategies so they may mix up the entries so I play during the middle instead. Though my teammates didn’t play their greatest today, as I watched their games, it was painfully clear that the amount of skills they display during practice did not come forth during the actual matches. If we just work on that weakness, I know we can become stronger. Seriously, during practice these hyungs play amazingly.

- Last words you want to say?
▲ To start off, I want to say happy new years to everyone. Recently I went to the hospital because my arm was in pain and they told me that if I want to get better, I need to stop playing. When I told them that I'm a progamer and I need to keep playing, they said I need to stretch my arm well so lately I’ve been focusing on treating my arm. Luckily my uncle works in the medical profession and was able to bring a physical therapy device directly to our team house. I want to use this spot to say how thankful I am. Lastly, after dropping out of both leagues I was so sorry to my fans and even felt a slump coming but while I was resting, I did a lot of reflecting and worked on my flaws, so I believe during winners league I’ll be able to show a much better side of myself.

- Does your arm pain have anything to do with your dropping out of both leagues?
▲ No, that’s not true. Though it had been hurting for a while, right now it’s almost a relief I only have proleague to practice for. I’ll work on taking care of my health so I can show a better side of myself.

I NEED MY KIM DAE YEOB INTERVIEW !((

Thanks for baller flash interview though.
I really like that he encourages them alot, though idk if it works, the practice -> real match performance routine has allways been a killer for alot of progamers (magma was supposed to be as good as JD in practice iirc)

Reading this interview made me truly understand why Flash is and always be the best player. Players like him need to fall in order to rise above everyone else.

Flash's arm, that doesn't sound good. I'm sure he will be fine though, after all he is still younger than most players.

Thanks for the translation Smix.

It's pretty excessive, seeing as how he won 23 games last year in a total of 12 matches (counting the finals), and this year there are only 9.
