"I want to beat Jaedong and change the paradigm of ZvZ"
- Thoughts on your first MSL final?
▲ I can't believe it yet. Maybe I'll start to understand the gravity of it once I get home and watch the VODs.
- You must have big expectations for your first final.
▲ I think all progamers dream of this situation. I would be ecstatic if I won, but I'm not anxious or anything just yet.
- You can be the first Samsung KHAN Zerg winner.
▲ Our only winner is  Stork, and I'm planning to ask a lot of players with final experience. I'm not going to be like JangBi and enter the Kong line.
- Jangbi, Stork, and even KHAN in PL always finished second.
▲ I'll try to break the pattern (laughs)
- Your domination in Game1 was important.
▲ The concept was to dominate Zero by showing him a style which he has never seen before. I practiced Hive tech until my wrists hurt, but the overall philosophy was that.
- You lost in the only Hive game, Game2.
▲ I planned the game with Hive in mind for every game. For Game2, Zero played exceptionally well and I did lose, but I had fun and I played an entertaining match. Even after the match, the overbearing thought was that I played a fun game, rather than I lost, so it was satisfying in its own way.
- Did you 9pool because of the loss in Game2?
▲ I already planned to do that, but I had Hive tech in mind for that game too. Luckily the opponent showed a small opening, and I was able to exploit it.
- Your planning for multiple games really shone.
▲ I learned a lot from Survivor (lol). I looked at all my losses, and I watched Zero's past VODs. I even studied his Overlord scouting patterns, and I think that helped a lot.
![[image loading]](http://fomos.kr/board/interview/1297336696_2.jpg)
- Whoever wins in the other match, it's still a ZvZ.
▲ I think anyone in my situation would want to play Hydra. But I want to beat the best player, so I hope that Jaedong advances. If the game goes standard ZvZ, then I think I would be at a disadvantage, but I'm going to show him a brand of ZvZ he has never seen before, and if that happens I think I can change the fans' image of ZvZ. I want to show them how exciting and entertaining ZvZ can be, and I want to lead the change in paradigm. If that happens, a lot of Zergs might imitate my play, and I would be pleased. Right now, rather than winning, I want to have fun at the finals first and foremost.
- What if Hydra wins?
▲ I'll still go to Hive tech if Hydra advances. Not that Hydra is a bad player, but I want to face the best of the best in the finals, so I hope that Jaedong wins.
- All of a sudden, you feel like a ZvZ master.
▲ All the players are being called "The four masters" or "Taek-Bang-Lee-Ssang", but if I win this time, I want to put all the good players in one group. I think that will be fun.
- Final words?
▲ All of our Zergs helped me practice. Chavi gave me a lot of help on Hive ZvZ and all my teammates supported me too. I don't think I can say that I've ever gone crazy practicing, but I want to go crazy for ZvZ in the two coming weeks.

Ahh, this sentence reminds me of Jaedong vs YellOw. Good times.

Lol Great winning an MSL would be O_O.
MSL continues its tradition of somehow having worse players make it further than osl lol
|
Wow Zero looks a lot like oGsMC. Dunno why I never noticed before. Anyone else think so?
|
poor great is gonna have to get a silver medal vs hydra/jaedong
beating zero in a zvz box isn't exactly something a progamer would call an accomplishment I assume

Yeah modesty and Calm are so great players compared to great or Zero.

ZerO won the only Hive tech game and great won all the traditional ZvZs? World will spin backwards.
Wasn't that great who said that he would win in case of a hive tech game?

Oh lol, Jaedong has seen everything in ZvZ.

Great had best not cheer for Jaedong lest he wants to start an apprenticeship into the kong line.
He might be the favourite against Hydra though.
|
Jaedong will devour him easily nomnomnom.

Ohhh man. great is so asking to be sent into the Kong Line, lolz. I can hear Yellow's evil laughter in the background already. "I finally won't be the only Zerg anymore~!!"
And damn, great dissing my boy Hydra?!?? Now I actually don't care if Jaedong beats Hydra; I want to see the Dong show this guy who's boss in the finals. I hope he gets a very heavy spanking. The only good thing that will come out of him getting the gold is the possibility of seeing TaekBangLeeSsang face off against each other in the next MSL, and that's still kinda bad since some people's favorite players are going to get eliminated very, very early. :/
Thanks for the translation! And ah, you're still mad at poor Zero... There's always a next time, there's always a next time. And I'm pleased to see that you added bonus pics. Bonus pics = The icing on top that completes the whole interview.

Pretty sure it's not possible; since both Stork and Jaedong made the Ro8, they're guaranteed to be in different groups.

Jaedong you got this!
Also, congrats to great.

From the Pictures you can obviously see that Pocari Sweat is the deciding factor.
Thanks for translation.
Awesome that someone from SAMSUNG KHAN and a ZERG at that is doing so well.
I still believe in the TYRANT though.

Chavi helped? CHAVI?
lol sorry for great, Hydra is gonna win the MSL

That was such a cool interview from great! But, poor kid, I don't give him more than 10% chance of beating either Jaedong or Hydra.
- Whoever wins in the other match, it's still a ZvZ.

Wow great sneaking out of nowhere to go all the way to the finals. I hope hydra advances and beat him though.
|
Poor Zero
I guess...there's next year...?

Next year? whats wrong with next season? or the one after that?

Good interview thanks for translating. I really like Zero (he is probably my second favorite zerg after JD) but I also really like Great, good to see him get far. Zero's weak ZvZ did him in though, imo his ZvP and ZvT are S-class or very close to it, but his ZvZ is not very good. Great's ZvZ is pretty good but either Hydra or Jaedong are gonna be heavy favorites in the final.
Also thanks to Great I am back in the top 5 in liquibet after dropping out of the top 10 from Stork losing the OSL, I thought Zero's ZvZ would probably fail him.
|
If TBLS ends up in the same group I hope great loses in Ro32 due to karma.
|
great believes he will revolutionize ZvZ... good to dream kid, but the Dong will probably bitchslap you as if you were Yarnc!
|
|
|
I'm going to show him a brand of ZvZ he has never seen before, and if that happens I think I can change the fans' image of ZvZ.
sounds like great is trying to develop strategies to force hive tech zvz's
:D this makes me happy
|
I kinda like this kid, until he utters these abominations:
But I want to beat the best player, so I hope that Jaedong advances.
Right and wrong. JEADONG is the best player ever in BW. Wrong, because there is no way to beat the BEAST!
If the game goes standard ZvZ, then I think I would be at a disadvantage,
Just getting at the booth opposite JAEDONG already puts you at a massive disadvantage.
but I'm going to show him a brand of ZvZ he has never seen before
No son. JAEDONG has been all there, has seen all that. If you think his mutaling is wicked, you'll wish you hadn't build that queens nest and double mound once he rally's his ultralisks to YOUR main and start to consume YOUR drones, lings, hydra, lurker, heck even defiler! YES, JAEDONG is THAT IMBA! LOL! Kids these days. They win one little game and they think they know anything.
GO JAEDONG GO!!!
|
"Great: I hope I get to vs jaedong."
Wow, very daring soldier, i like it.
|
Balls of steel. He's got this, dudes. He'll pull out some totally sick strategies and beat The Dong(or Hydra!) in the finals, I'm sure of it.

Well I saw a Jaedong hive-tech game and...oh, you are right actually-Yellow is a god, so he doesn't count.
Thx for the interview.

I think he is mind gaming JD :D
Saying he is developing lot of strategies for Hive for Jaedong to practice like hell Hive tech, while great tries to get better with standard and cheesy plays :D

Let's go great! The last, best hope of KHAN... this season. Honestly it would be lol if great wins a final after Stork gets stomped like that (poor Stork though :/).
Also, go me, I called the result... if not ZerO winning the Hive tech game, that's silly.

ZerO is the "Bisu of OSL" of MSL

For real. Folks: do not be surprised if great wins with 9pool and mutalisks.
Anyway, go great! his playstyle is very fun and he deserves to win MSL.

Another ZvZ MSL final, with Great as the opponent. Lame.
|
Why did he mention the 'kong' line? I think he is going to jinx it...
EDIT: although I have to say, by.great is an excellent player. KHAN often sends him as ACE.... I don't see why he can't beat zero.

How can you say that when his entire goal is to go hive tech every game, whether or not it's going to help him win?
Pretty sure this finals is gonna be amazing. I like Zero too, but Great had some interesting plays this series, and I don't mind seeing more of what he has to offer for a final.
I think essentially what Great is looking for is the point at which neither player wants to engage, and both have reached a certain mass of muta. Then comes the Hive switch. So of course it starts off as a normal ZvZ, but at least it doesn't end in one big 'I hope my muta's attack first' battle to end the game.
|
a style of ZvZ jaedong has never seen before? I predict a proxy hatch on circuit breaker

it appears to me that great isn't necessarily a godly player but he approaches the game with a very unique and mature attitude and it seems like he also practices a ton. I hope hydra wins and we have a very interesting finals match.

Jaedong will smash great 3-0 with lair tech.

Hydra> Jaedong
Hydra>Great

One thing's for sure, Great's got style. But now he'll be up against either Jaedong or Hydra, the zvz tyrant and the incarnation of Effort/(insert matchfixer here) respectively. A whole 'nother level than Zero, when it's about zvz.
|
I heard all these talk about hive tech, but do you need to go to hive tech? or can you just get queen nest, upgrade ensnare to ensnare the clump of mutalisk then send in your scourge? It should be very hard to fight back the scourge when the muta got ensnared. You don't have to waste much gas upgrading hive and getting difiler. Not sure if this will work, it's just a thought.

Not in the slightest bit.
Good job Great. Zero, you need to really work on your ZvZ if you want to win an individual league.

are you forgetting that standard ZvZ involved a lot of zergling and they kill Hydra under swarm. If you're making Hydra, then your army isn't as mobile compare to your opponents thus they can harass you easily as you move out and still have time to return and defend the base.

Just add 2 lurker? Not hard to do when you already have hydra tech.

I fully support this hive tech finals, instead of the cheese fest finals that happened in the msl that no one remembers. Btw, where the hell is kwanro nowadays?
|
You can be the first Samsung KHAN Zerg winner.
▲ Our only winner is Stork, and I'm planning to ask a lot of players with final experience. I'm not going to be like JangBi and enter the Kong line.
lol ahaha poor jangbi.
thanks for translation!

Would laugh if JD advances and destroys great before Hive Tech 
Then again... Hive tech ZvZ is awesome to watch...
|
Guhh I can't wait for tomorrow morning...I'd actually love to see some JvZ involving hive tech (this summer's proleague game, anyone?) so here's hoping Great gets his wish.
|
i like greats interviews :D
so happy for him ^_^
now its time for him to make history and have a new champ

Great is really determined not to enter the KONG line, but I can already sense Yellow's silvery spells working against him! XD.
|
This final will probably be more epic than Stork vs Fantasy. It not only will show if Jaedong is still the top ZvZer, but also whether hive tech is srs biz. Although I'm a JD fanboy, I think it would be way more epic if hydra overthrows him and beats great with hive tech of his own in the finals to begin a new era of ZvZ!
|
Great can most certainly deliver when it comes to weird shit that wins against good players. He's responsible for the most awesome forty-sunken Bisu-crushing Medusa build, after all.
|
Game 1 was pretty much the smartest move I have ever seen in my life. + Show Spoiler +Great hid about 6 of his zerglings to ZerO's overlord so ZerO won't have a clue that Great has another hatch in main therefore making ZerO think that Great is actually going to tech up instead of going into a Zergling timing attack.
|
Pretty sure that was how Calm killed JD as well.
|
Congrats great!!!! All the best for your finals
GG's!!
|
Great doing something nonstandard to Jaedong?
I KNOW he's gonna use + Show Spoiler +
Jaedong will never expect that, nope.
|
go Great!
thanks for the interview~~
