Results today:
+ Show Spoiler +
(Z)Jaedong > (P)Snow
(Z)Calm < (Z)Hydra
(P)Stork < (Z)ZerO
(Z)great > (P)Kal

in other words...
(Z)Zerg > (P)Protoss


(Z)Jaedong
“I think I can make the Ro4 easily barring an upset”
[image loading]

- How does it feels to be up 1-0?
▲ Even as I practiced, I knew I could win today. I made a lot of mistakes and didn't play particularly well today, so I'll be sure to play better next week.

- There was a bloodbath at your 11 o' clock natural.
▲ When the Protoss firsted rushed me, I blocked it without much damage so I had an advantage, but I sustained a lot of damage from his next big rush. It was more dangerous than I thought and I knew not to get overconfident. I took a lot of damage but I saved both Hatcheries and a lot of Drones, so I believed that I could win.

- Your ZvP seems shaky lately
▲ It doesn't seem that way when I practice, but I feel I play sloppy in televised games. I think I can play better if I calm down a bit and focus more. The reason that I knew I was going to win this game was because I played so well in practice.

- Any goals for the next game?
▲ In the separated BoX, I think the first game is crucial. I think it will be pretty easy to prepare for next week's matches, and I think I can win barring any unforeseen circumstances.

- Anything to say?
▲ My team's Protosses helped me a lot, and I want to give a shoutout of thanks to (P)Dear.

(Z)Hydra
“I could win because I focused on my control”
[image loading]

- Feelings on winning a great comeback?
▲ Firstly, I thought the first game would be very important so I'm happy that I won and I knew that I was on a ZvZ streak but I didn't know it was 9 in a row. I think I can be even more confident from now on.

- It was a nailbiting comeback
▲ I had the worst BO luck but I think I got lucky by focusing on my micro.

- Your scourge usage was excellent.
▲ Because I was behind, I thought that scourges were my only chance and I thought that I could win if I used them in conjunction with Zerglings, so I went in aggressively and I think it worked out well.

- Your looks seems to be improving with your game.
▲ I haven't heard that often, but thanks for saying so.(laughs)

- You're holding an advantage in the BoX.
▲ I haven't played too many BoX, but I think I can prepare easily for the following games because I've won the first game. I think it's a boon for me.

- What if you meet Jaedong in the semi-finals?
▲ I just want to focus on the games in front of me. If I were to say something, because it's ZvZ, it wouldn't matter if it's Jaedong.

- Final words?
▲ Thank you for my teammates for helping me practice, and my team is on a losing streak in Winners' League but it's not like there's any internal troubles, so I want to take this chance to say that we'll end our streak soon and start performing well soon.

♡♥♡(Z)ZerO ♥♡♥
"The map order is going to help me get into the Ro4"
[image loading]

Translator bias: Zero gets a blurb

On the 20th, "The Queen's Son’ Kim Myung Woon (Woongjin) got the GG from Song Byung Goo (Samsung Electronics) with perfect play in the PDPop MSL 2010 Ro8 Game 1, held at the LOOX HERO center at Moon-Rae Dong,

Kim Myung Woon dominated the game throughout, and said “(P)Stork had very good momentum but what mattered more was how well I was prepared. Because I have the first victory and the map order favors me, I'm confident I can win the series too."

- You succeeded in drawing first blood against Stork.
▲ I was very confident as I prepared and the soundproof sound (I guess they play some internal sound to mute the sound from outside). The sound was so loud that some of the in-game sounds were being muffled, and I think Stork couldn't concentrate because of that so I don't feel completely happy even though I won.

- You rocked the shit out of that dinosaur today You had very good gameplay today
▲ I really liked this build so I wanted to use it, and because it's a BoX, I tried something different.

- You've shown a relative weakness at BoX in the past.
▲ I didn't think that it was a BoX, and I played like I usually do. I'm slowly fixing these weaknesses, so I think I can do well from now on.

- Stork had amazing momentum before your game.
▲ I knew that, but my condition matters more than the opponent's, so if I prepare well, I think I can beat anyone. Of course, this means that I can also lose to anyone on a given day, but I didn't really think about Stork's momentum.

- Who helped you with the strategy? (For those of you who didn't watch, Zero had a great mindfuck strategy. Go watch now!)
▲ (Z)Soulkey and (Z)Crazy-Hydra helped me from both sides. I chose the concept as Hydralisks but the coaches helped me too, and although it's an individual league, I think I won because everyone helped me.

- Are you confident in your remaining games?
▲ I like the map order, and if I lost today I would have had an uphill battle, but because I won, I'm confident that I can advance.

- Last words?
▲ A few days ago, it was the birthday of Kim Ji-Soo from the office, but I couldn't call and could only text because I had Proleague that day. I'm sorry, and I wish him a belated birthday.


(Z)great
"I wanted to dominate the first match."
[image loading]

- Thoughts on getting 1 win against Kal?
▲ In a BoX, I felt that I needed to win Game 1 and I'm happy to have won it easily, and I also think my possibility of getting into the Ro4 is much higher now.

- Did you have a concept in mind?
▲ I felt that I needed to dominate the match and win convincingly because of the importance of Game 1. So when I could, I produced queens and overall, it was a satisfying game. I think I can win even easier in next week's games.

- Zergs won every game today.
▲ I looked at the Proleague individual win rankings, and Zerg got massacred. I don't think we can use this to say that Zerg is imba, but I feel it's time for Zerg to catch up.

- Didn't you have trouble preparing for the BoX.
▲ Because Stork and Jangbi had played many BoX, they gave me a lot of advice. I feel I understand BoX much better now. Also, because individual leagues are different from Proleague, I can enjoy the games a bit more. Because it's not Proleague, I don't have to stress about the result and have fun in the game.

- You said you wanted to play a Zerg last week - were you stressed any that you had to play Kal?
▲ Even though Kal is good, you can't ignore the natural racial imbalance in BoX, so I didn't worry about it too much. I think Kal stressed about it more than I did.

- You said you wanted to enjoy individual leagues, but will that change once you come close to winning it?
▲ I joked to my teammates back at the house, “If I win, I want to put Taek-Baeng-Lee-Ssang in one group using my powers (at the group ceremony)”. I think that will be fun for all watching and right now, I kind of want to do that.(laughs)

- Last words?
▲ I hadn't played many ZvP on Benzene so thank you to my teammates for helping me practice, and I would appreciate it if they helped me a lot next week too.

Not surprising at all when you practice against Perfectman...

A little? Then who is he practicing with, Bisu or something? This seems like a weird statement to me.

JD keeps bashing himself but it's good that he's confident.

- What if you meet Jaedong in the semi-finals?
▲ I just want to focus on the games in front of me. If I were to say something, because it's ZvZ, it wouldn't matter if it's Jaedong.



This sentence is gramatically incorrect, it should be 'unless' instead of 'if'.
In all seriousness, its ironic how people STILL think ZvZ is volatile against jaedong and a match of him can be taken randomly if you're a zerg. News flash: IT'S THE LEAST RANDOMLY POSSIBLE.
54% vs 76% good luck hydra.

I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.
