Lomo, you haven't had an SPL winner interview in quite some time. Thoughts?
▲Lomo: It does feel like a long time, it's somehow embarrassing. Since it's been so long, even though I'm glad I won, in another sense I guess I'm upset.
▲Jaedong: I don't think it's been that long.
▲Lomo: Yes it has.
▲Jaedong: Has it really? (haha) Since the team won, I'm very glad, and to top it all off I secured the win for us. Last night before I slept, I prayed solemnly, and it looks like I received a blessing today. At night, I always pray that I'll be able to win the next day.
This period of time must have been exhausting on your spirit.
▲Lomo: It's not that I didn't practice, but somehow I still couldn't get the results, and the pressure was enormous. I kept telling myself that I had to end my losing streak quickly, but still all the golden opportunities escaped my grasp. Today, though, I finally succeeded.
In reality, though, you haven't had too many opportunities to play.
▲Lomo: I've been training hard, and recently I reviewed the matches I lost. I discovered that in pretty much all of them I gained an advantage but the game took a turn for the worse. For that, I probably didn't earn the trust of my team.
Jaedong, even though it's been a short time, in the last few matches it seems you're not sweeping everything cleanly. [T/N unsure]
▲Jaedong: It feels like every time I lose a match I get another wrinkle on my face (haha). The pressure is too weighty, so whenever I lose I feel I'm getting older and my heart takes a blow. So today, I knew I had to win.

Is it mainly because of troubles with ZvP?
▲Jaedong: Although that's part of it, I think I just simply couldn't do what I should have, which is disappointing, to the point where I want to rage.
Before the series with KT, you tweeted the phrase “ah... sucks,” which became a point of discussion.
▲Jaedong: It wasn't because of the match with KT that I posted that. The reasons are purely personal, and had nothing to do with the match.
Lomo, you're smiling as if you know something.
▲Lomo: Sorry, Jaedong just threatened me to keep quiet.
Did you practice with the mentality that your opponents would be Zergs?
▲Lomo: Woongjin has a deep lineup, so I didn't exclusively practice TvZ; I worked on every matchup. Jaedong suggested an opening to me for game 2. If I had followed it, I would have lost for sure.
▲Jaedong: It's not like that (haha).
▲Lomo: When I'm racking my brains and Jaedong suggests an opening, I'd probably give it a shot, but today if I had followed his strategy, I would have lost.
▲Jaedong: No, definitely not
▲Lomo: Although, to be honest today's mass goliath attack was suggested by Jaedong too.
▲Jaedong: We practice together, so I knew it'd be effective. I said he had to sue it for sure, but he said he wanted to proxy rax. I told him, no proxy rax, and if he had proxied today it would have been a disaster.
▲Lomo: That's true. Thanks to Jaedong, I won (haha).
Jaedong, it's slightly regrettable that your wins weren't in an elegant fashion.
▲Jaedong: I agree. I came in thinking that I had to win steadily, so I wasn't very adaptive in my play. That's how these games happened.

In your game against free, if you hadn't elected to use mutalisks, you would have been forced to play very passively. [T/N I feel like there's a question missing here, since Jaedong's answer doesn't line up at all]
▲Jaedong: I was at a bleak disadvantage from the start. It wasn't because I was afraid of a losing streak that I played that way, but my position wasn't good enough. Same in the last game: I thought the situation looked bad, so I played defensively. A losing streak isn't something that influences me. Every game the team wins right now is valuable, and I must fulfill my responsibility, so I wanted to win that game for sure.
Lomo, your results from now on will be even more important.
▲Lomo: To be honest, I wasn't quite satisfied with my play either. In game 3, I had a winning timing, but I still lost, which made me feel incredible regret. I want to play games that I don't feel any regret about, and I'll work hard to win.
Along with Hiya, you're starting to win games. Is Hwaseung T picking up steam?
▲Lomo: Terrans are very important in SWL, so we have to invigorate ourselves.
Jaedong, do you hunger for more wins in SWL?
▲Jaedong: I can't do much about it. Even though I'm sad, it's me who is not strong enough, which infuriates me. I have to accept reality: it's my own weaknesses that have caused me to fall behind amongst the S-class. It's not that I'm demotivated. There's a lot of pressure, and I can feel myself getting older. My fans want me to be the best, but I have to apologize that I'm so nub right now.
Our talk's run over time already, but Lomo, when you see Jaedong in this state, do you feel sorry?
▲Lomo: Forcing so much onto his shoulders, of course I must apologize. And when he loses, he's vilified so harshly. But he's made so much money, he still should earn his keep
▲Jaedong: I'd rather leave that out; I'm not sure how much of that talk should make it into an interview. Best to keep quiet on it (haha).
Anything else?
▲Lomo: Thanks to the coaches for giving me the opportunity to lead off today. Also, my younger teammates practiced with me late into the night, and they didn't even complain. I'm very thankful, and I'll definitely treat them to dinner. The fans are also giving me a lot of strength, so I'll perform better and repay everyone's expectations.
▲Jaedong: I'm really glad I didn't lose today, even more than because I won. I'm ecstatic that I closed out the series for us, and I hope I get to taste more victory in SPL. I've always wanted to show the fans the rise of Hwaseung, and I've been working toward that goal. The coaches and assistant coaches all helped me out. I want to see us start on a winning streak.
▲Lomo: Also, the head coach correctly predicted our opponents' lineup, which made practice that much easier. Thanks to the head coach, who aided our victory in that way.
