Q You are the first player to make the Ro16.
A If I didn't make it, I was afraid that I would get the "Winner Jinx" tag on me. It feels good to be the first player to make it.
Q Recently, all the winners except the LeeSsang have experienced the Winner Jinx.
A I didn't think about it much before I came into the stadium. Coach forU told me "All the winners have exited early, make sure you don't do that". So I felt that I needed to make it no matter what.
Q You got a lot of attention because you made the Group of Death at the Group Selection Ceremony.
A I was surprised because I got a bigger reaction than I expected. However, even if all the good players are in different groups, there's no guarantee that they'll all make it. I felt that I shouldn't get knocked out until I meet the players from that group.
Q Your first opponent, Light, is a TvZ specialist.
A I first worried a lot when I saw the map, but it was a 2-player map and there were a lot of hilly terrain so I felt I had a chance. I didn't practice too much, but I thought I should be able to win with preparation.
Q They say the new map is favored towards Terran like every other map
A I think it depends on how you look at it. Zero from Woongjin said it looks okay, and I agree.
Q You haven't been playing too well since your MSL win. Do you think you can turn it around starting today?
A I don't think I'm out of the woods yet. After I won, I felt how big one loss is. The future is what matters; I want to be a player that wins more than he loses.
Q You didn't make the all-star game.
A I'm disappointed, but what can I do? I really want to make the next one.
Q Final thoughts?
A I thank the fans for coming out to the opening match. I had a cold today so I hope everyone watches out for that.

Q Thoughts on making the Ro16?
A After I lost to Hydra in Game 1, my losses from last season flashed before my eyes. I don't want to lose again from now on. However, I reached my goal of beating a Protoss today, so I'm satisfied with that.
Q You lost to Zerglings because your simcity didn't hold. DId you not know Zerglings could pass?
A I knew, but I didn't experience a Zergling attack so I couldn't get the timing right. I shouldn't play like that, and I never want to lose again in that fashion.
Q Your TvP was excellent today.
A I've lost very disappointingly to Protosses in the past, but I didn't today so I was happy. Also, I always thought that my unit movement was very heavy, but my Vulture control was alive today so I am satisfied.
Q I heard you had extensive training for TvP.
A After I transferred, I only practiced TvP. I lost a lot, which fired me up, and as I got better, I started enjoying it more. TvP is hard, but it's definitely a lot of fun.
Q Do you think you've gotten over your TvP troubles?
A Not yet. I think I have to get my win rate up before I can say that. I'm starting to get it now, but I know I have a long ways to go.
Q Zero came to cheer you on.
A I convinced my manager to bring Zero. I had two Zergs in my group, and it makes it easier if I get help before my games. I want to buy something delicious to Zero, who was my mentor today. There's no downside for him tagging along (laughs).
Q You said you'd prepare more on Proleague.
A In all honestly, I don't care that much about MSL until I reach the later stages of the tournament. Get ready for Proleague rounds 5 and 6. When you see it, you'll know what I mean.
Q Final words?
A I thought I'd play Tyson in the Winner's match, but I was disappointed that I met him in the Loser's match. He lost today, so I hope that he plays better in Proleague. Whenever I took a break, I went and visited the MBC house, and I don't think they're going to do too well in rounds 5 and 6 (laughs). In all honesty, I hope they do well and I hope Free does well today too.
Also, thank you to Zero and my manager for tagging along today. I'll treat you both.

Ugh Hydra, I hate him so much :> , I swear with that face of him he is taunting TBLS(and me). But he won, fair and square. Pretty happy that Light made it through, sad for GGMaeo, thanks for the interview.

Holy crap Hydra get some oral surgery w/ your prize money

TBLS = 4 people.
Hydra = 1 person.
Bad target to pick on Hydra.

I hoped you would have won 2-0 but good job regardless light!

Guys, I don't know if this translated or not but I've translated Stork's interview for group E from http://www.wfbrood.com/xingji/hanguoxingji/xingji_63326.html
![[image loading]](http://www.wfbrood.com/xingji/UploadFiles_9710/201104/20110415052136132.jpg)
Q：The feeling of getting into round of 16?
In order to get to round of 16, I had to beat Firebathero twice. Sorry that I couldn't keep my promise (T/N: Might be something that he said in group selection?). Since I lost in the winner's game，I had to rely on beating Firebathero
Q：Anything reluctant while facing Firebathero,
It didn't take a lot of effort to beat him. I feel sorry for him since he got eliminated.
Q：Will firebathero hate you after beating him?
Once upon time, he said that the two of us would raise swords against each，its uncomfortable that he was exactly right. Today did not go as I expect， I had to eliminate him in order to advance.
Q：With TLS in one group, the tournament should go in your favor?
Personally I didn't feel being that advantageous. I still had to play in-house tournament，still have to study the map. Time is very tight，very busy（didn'think of that).
Q：Recently there was a comment that Khan's terran' TvP is not good
In practice, their PvT are amazing. But in broacasted games, they tend to become nervou, that is the reason why they lost games. I think if they can form better mindset, no matter what matchup it is, they can play well.
Q：You won beautifully at last game.
PvT is hard to play at La Mancha because there are lots of high ground. After the worker scoutings，I managed to gather a larger army so I came up on top on battles.
Q：What are your opinion on the Group of Death？
While shooting MSL video, I've heard that Hydra is planning to create a group of Death, I told him that never under any circumstances do that. It would have been better for the TBLS to face each other in the later rounds
Q：You will face Hydra in the round of 16
Athought PvZ is the matchup that I worry the most, I am still confident. Hopefully the champion curse will be cursed upon hydra (laughs).
Q：Any other words?？
After the MSL game，practices will be a lot easier. Really appreciated the help of my teammates. And firebathero，come hang out when you are free. Last time，you didn't come. If you come, I'll buy you dinner.
|
Sounds like Light is trying his best to fit in at Woongjin. If he can handle JD, don't see why he can't take on Hydra and Ggaemo without Zero tagging along.
|
Light has peaked my curiosity. One more reason to look forward to watching stars.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww <3

Well said, Stork. Well said.
Thanks for the translation. Hoping Stork takes out Hydra.
Sad ggaemo didn't advance. His game against Tyson was pretty good, but I guess I can't be surprised, since he had to face Light.
|
I'm happy that Hydra and ZerO both feel ok about Monte Cristo even though I don't see how it's workable in longer games. Looking forward to seeing Zergs come up with creative solutions!
Also, I hope Light bringing ZerO means he's starting to feel comfortable with the team. Wax's comments from the group selection made me sad 
|
So Hydra basically trolled 3 of the Gods, and refused to take the remaining God's advice ... He's so doomed ...

I'm sorry, but this is NOT what Stork said. The hate for Hydra (in the chinese translator) is just disgusting, especially when it's your job to translate interviews faithfully. So this is what he actually said:
From DES:
Q: Great is the one who made the Group of Death.
I think great was looking out for me. When Hydra said he was going to form the Group of Death around me, great asked him to not do that. I want to meet "TLS" in Multi-game sets, not in Bo1s.
From FOMOS:
Q: How did you feel as the Group of Death was being made:
During the photoshoot for the MSL, I overheard that he was going to form a Group of Death in my group, so I asked him to not to do that. He ended up making the Group of Death in Group D. I wanted to face TLS in higher stages of tournament.
Oh, and btw:

Haters gonna hate.
Edit: To clarify, I mean the KR-CN translator, not Xiphos.

what's up with the "terran favoured like every other map" in the OP? last MSL almost every map was Z favoured and we had an all Z semifinals.

I hope stork will kick hydra's ass

It's a bit of a running joke. Every time a new map comes up, someone (often just a forum goer, not anyone professional) will invariably look at it and go "this map looks really strong for Terran, you can abuse cliffs with tanks here and here and here. I don't see how the other races will be able to handle this blatant bias towards Terran."
And then things go fine anyway.
Example: Just look through the first page of the Monte Cristo thread.

I was surprised because I got a bigger reaction than I expected.
is he serious? By putting like the players that immediately comes to mind when u think of oz,skt,kt and mbc into one group, surely he would be expecting one hell of a reaction.

Other examples of terran-favored maps include Katrina and Battle Royale.

Hydra finally getting braces (or what looks like braces) is a win to me. Maybe someday in the near future I won't fear his smile anymore
Thanks for the translation.

Dentistry was seriously the best thing he could have done with that prize money. Good on him. Or on his mom for making him do it.

He had braces even before he won MSL.

He did? I must've not noticed in the pictures. Dude's teeth are bad.
