Many thanks to ]343[ for doing the Hydra interview!
Hydra: "I reached my first goal--obtaining a seed." ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/37RoA.jpg)
- Thoughts on your first individual league advancement?
▲ I'm really happy I obtained a seed, so I won't have to play in the preliminaries next time.
- Since you won the first game, you must have not felt much pressure.
▲ I mainly prepared for the second match on Benzene. This was the right decision. But I regret that the match was still much harder than I had imagined.
- You took a lot of damage from the 2 dropship harass.
▲ I often lose to dropships in practice, and I revealed this weak point again today. I'll try to perfect my drop defense in the future.
- Your mutalisk micro was very incisive.
▲ While stalling in the middle, since I had +1 armor upgrade on my mutalisks, I was sure I could inflict damage. During the first harass timing, I gave away a bunch of mutalisks, but after that, I focused harder on microing my mutalisks.
- Goals for the remaining matches?
▲ I'd like to make the Ro4, then the finals, then win the championship.
- It's likely you'll meet another Zerg in the Ro8.
▲ Recently, my ZvZ has improved a lot, so I'll be even more confident if my opponent is Zerg. - In the recent SPL match, your team lost, but you didn't play. Do you regret this?
▲ Personally, I'm quite regretful, but this was the coach's decision, so I can't really say anything. But our ranking is still among the top, so it's not really time to worry.
- Last words?
▲ Thanks to all my teammates who practiced with me, and the fans who supported me. I'll practice even harder and show even more exciting matches to everyone.

- Your thoughts about making the Ro8?
▲I'm very happy to be in the Ro8 again. I feel very confident about my matches, so I think the lady of luck must have been watching over me.
- How did you practice for this match?
▲My experiences with last MSL helped alot. I was already up 1-0, so I felt confident. Without these experiences todays game probably wouldnt have gone so well. I wish I could play Calm again with todays form.
- You had a time where didnt have good results in ZvZ, but it seems to have got much better now.
▲I feel especially bad when I lose a ZvZ, because we are using the same units. So my recent practice has mostly been ZvZ.
- You said you wanted ZvZs to reach Hive tech.
▲ZvZs ended in lair stage recently, I think it's because most players are aggressive. I think a defensive game could reach Hive tech, there is no reason not to see ultras in ZvZ.
- Your thoughts on the Ro8?
▲I think if I reached the semis last time my place would be very different. So I will work harder to reach the semis and also to show interesting matches.
- Final Words?
▲I want to thank my teammates who helped me practice well after midnight, and also the fans that always have been supporting me.

![[image loading]](http://www.plu.cn/d/file/sc2/info/2011-01-13/f3daba2eed265707959ecf4d6adf44ea.jpg)
- You thoughts on reaching the MSL Ro8 5 times in a row?
▲Nothing special. I think this is only the beginning. I lost only in the finals recently, so I can't slack off.
- Did you guess he would use a proxy 8 rax?
▲I didnt think that much about his opening, I didnt know what he will use. Lomo guessed the opening for last week's matches, so it went well. This time he also said that Midas might use a proxy 8 rax, so I should scout carefully. He guessed correctly, I think it's quite miracolous.
- You already defeated Midas twice in the MSL.
▲I'm not strong against a specific player, it's because of his playstyle. Midas likes to use many different strategies, but my aggressive playstyle counters it, so I won.
- Flash is already out, so you are the strongest contender for champion.
▲It's bad to have these kind of thoughts, you have to play each match to the best and don't think about becoming champion. All pros are strong, who prepares best wins.
- You lost to Stork in Winners League.
▲It is disappointing, but nothing can be done. The more you think about lost matches the worse you'll feel. But losing to Stork make me feel worse in comparison to losing to other people, I feel I lost a match between two aces. I'm curious why my losses against Stork always look so bad.
- Who do you want to face in the Ro8?
▲Because it's a Bo5, I don't care which race I'll face. I'm very confident I can win.
- The preservation of energy became important for the team's aces.
▲I'm taking additional nutrients right now. My fans gave me a lot for my birthday, so I've been eating a lot of them recently.
- Final words?
▲I want to thank all my teammates, especially Lomo, I will treat you to a meal. I also want to thank the fans that came in this cold weather

Stork

- With the defeat of Bisu you returned to the Ro8 after 5 seasons.
▲I feel more happy about getting a seed for the next MSL. Preparing for the MST made me feel the horror of PC Bangs, so I’m happy I won’t have these feelings next time. I often meet Bisu so I had some expectations for this match as well. Beating such a strong opponent to make it further gives further meaning to it. Last time Brave suggested an opening, this time it was Grape, that gave me more confidence.
- You are only weak against Bisu in the MSL.
▲Losing to him in the finals has more meaning. I would rather have faced him in the final.
- You played a beautiful match.
▲After our openings I thought it was my reavers against his HT, but I saw with my obs that he only built 2 HT, so he must have used his gas for something else. I originally thought that my reaver goon combo would not necessarily work, but after seeing this situation I attacked decisively and it worked perfectly.
- Who do you want to face in the Ro8?
▲Anybody but great. Because we are teammates, practice for this match would be very awkward. I now have some hope for the finals, so I would rather meet him later. And if I must name somebody else I would not want to play Jaedong. Everybody left is a good player, so I have to practice hard for the match.
- After the vuvuzela ban, your fans are shouting even louder.
▲It was already impressive before the match. I was focused on the match so I didn’t hear it, but when I took of my headphones I heard the shouting again, I way really happy. I can’t express myself very well, but I’m really happy for their support. If I get into both finals the OSL will be played first, I hope to hear my fan’s cheering on the big stage as well.
- Final words?
▲I want to thank Grape for his opening. I won against Bisu, so I will work hard to make it to the finals. I also want to thank my fans for cheering on me.

Bisu disappoints me so much sometimes, at least i know Stork is on an absolute tear and he's definitely a contender for dual starleagues =D
|
Grape is Stork's protege, even following Stork to OSL games. All part of January's plan to nurture talent.

Sad for Bisu, but rlly happy for stork. The year of the Protoss has returned.. I can only hope Kal does rlly well now.
|
He doesn't want to face Jaedong because it's only Ro8 or because he fears him in a Bo5?
|
Stork's interview skills are through the roof.
It's kind of weird how he doesn't want to play Jaedong + Show Spoiler +seeing as he rolled him last time

Bisu vs. Stork finals - words can't describe how epic that rematch would be. Fantasy vs. Stork will do for now. Best of luck in the Ro8 Stork!

After this seasons msl and osl ppl will refer to Stork as the most accomplished protoss player of all time. I dont want it to happen, but it will
|
stork for dual starleague!!! xD but when it comes to jaedong vs stork, i dunno who to support.... 
|
|
|
Thank you for the interview!
The fans were really loud today, which is always nice. Stork deserves all the support he gets, he is awesome.
|
I want to see what Jaedong has to say about Midas
I'm still so sad for him. I'm disappointed at his play.
|
I'm happy to see Stork saying he'd rather have faced Bisu in the finals. Now that Bisu is out it's time for me to show Protoss solidarity and support Stork 100% for MSL champ!

Must be robo and goon range. I think he should have 4 HTs =6 storms before building robo and upgrading range.

stork rape? more like gRAPE. thanks for the interviews!
|
I wonder if JD will reference his abysmal record vs. Stork this season in his interview...
|
Why do I keep having the feeling that Stork's gonna get 2 silvers this season, lol
|
Stork's interview skills are through the roof.
Yeah! He's really mastered it. Says exactly what we want to hear 
Fantasy vs. Stork will do for now. Best of luck in the Ro8 Stork!
i hope u mean ro8 coz its gonna be jaedong vs stork in the finals! :p
stork for dual starleague!!! xD but when it comes to jaedong vs stork, i dunno who to support....

nooooooooo dont say that!!!
although, he's going to have a rough time getting through JD in a boX series - I think his chances of gold are much better against fantasy/calm

This could happen hehehe. Would be cooler if Stork hadn't won his gold already and then randomly picked up dual.

HYDRA INTERVIEW PLZ
edit: THX
|
No offence to the translator (your contributions are always welcomed) but does anyone else think these are bad interviews? Seems like really boring questions with really boring answers. Stork made an attempt, but it was still boring. Needs more woojing.

Damn you Lomo, betraying your terran brothers like that.

Thank you . The other players should be scared of Hydra . He is gunning for the gold !

I must see Stork vs. JD finals... Maybe it will finally force JD to stop playing ultra greedy :D
Either way, JD is still Bo5 master (when Flash is on vacation) and Stork is playing frickin sick, so who doesn't wanna see dat shit?
|
I wonder if Jaedong has been listening to lomo even in the finals vs. flash...that would explain something.
stork jaedong finals!!!

Lomo being useful for a change, JD had better give him some of those vitamins -^
Thanks for translating these interviews, dear translators!

stork show them all you are the best protoss ever
|
Song Byung Goo fighting~~~!!
It's amazing how Jaedong is friends with so many terrible players, but they somehow pull through at the strangest of times--lomo is so terrible but he somehow guessed the 8 rax, Jaedong listened to him, and Jaedong won :O
|
Man the contrast between Jaedong's face in the photo and his words... I feel for you Dong
Stay healthy so you can focus on recovering!
|
I have very high expectations of Hydra this season, perhaps even more so than Snow or Soulkey.

Yeah, it's starting to look like he could be the next big Zerg. A worthy successor to EffOrt. Would be good since Zerg really need a strong #2. Right now it's just Jaedong on top and a number of good, but not great, Zergs under him.
|
feel so sad bisu lost ㅠㅠ
i would root for stork...but i dont want him to win dual starleague cause that would make him better than bisu. he may well be better than bisu but its still hard to admit it

I want hydra to take this msl so HYDRA FIGHTING !!!!!!!!!!!!

That is awesome..... of all the units to think could be used in ZvZ he choose to say ultra? haha great is such a weird zerg. I still love his total domination ZvP on medusa with proxy hatches they had to change a map because of this guy ..... and tvp.. hehe
|
- Final words?
▲I want to thank Grape for his opening. I won against Bisu, so I will work hard to make it to the finals. I also want to thank my fans for cheering on me.
Ya you are right, you owe us that much for knocking out Bisu, while he been playing close to his old form.
