Firebathero: I'm thankful to the fans who enjoyed the match
Q: This is your first time you ever received the All Star Game MVP. What do you think?
A: I didn't even know there was a MVP Prize. So I couldn't even imagine I would receive this prize. While I have expectations when I did group selection ceremonies, but because I didn't expect it at all, I feel even better. I also really like trophies and so I'm proud of the fact that I have added another one to my collection.
Q: How did you feel when you got Zerg in the random vs random match in the first set?
A: I felt quite good because I like Zerg a lot, but after I saw that my opponent was Protoss, I thought since it would be difficult to win, I'd at least play an entertaining game.
Q: How did you feel when you saw the scouts?
A: To be honest I started thinking I could win after that point (laugh). The game was going to Andromeda [T/N: ie, the game was going really wacky], but if I pulled off a good act, I was certain I could pull off a victory.
Q: You made it to the All Star Game with your strength.
A: To be honest when I did that interview, all I thought was how much I wanted to go to the All Star Game. But if I think about the fact that I was able to make to 4th place, I was quite happy because it meant that quite a number of fans still like Starcraft Leagues. And so I also wanted to play an even more fun and entertaining all star game for the player I pushed out.
Q: I think that if you weren't a solider, you would have been able to show us an even more amusing performance.
A: I might have done more gestures and used chatting lingo a bit more. But because I"m still currently a soldier, I wasn't able to show everything. After I'm released from the military and I participate in the All Star Game, I'm confident that I will be able to show an even more entertaining game.
Q: Anything else you would like to add?
A: Round 5 will start soon. I want to thank all the fans who watches our games and are entertained by it, and I would ask them to cheer for us even more in the future.

Jaedong-Fantasy -- This was the best All Star Game yet
Q: This was the first time you off-raced in a broadcasted match. How did you feel?
A: Jaedong = Because I was playing Terran instead of Zerg in a big stage, I felt quite different. I was quite nervous but I also felt that it was a lot of fun. It feels like I'm leaving behind a lot of good memories here. I'm also satisfied that I won.
Fantasy = To be honest I was quite confident because I'm really good at Zerg even during practice. But I felt that Zerg was really hard during broadcasted games. Terran Bio Army is scary for sure (laugh). It was quite a different experience and I wanted to be able to play more amusingly but because Zerg requires quite a bit of hands, I'm a bit regretful I didn't get to chat that much.
Q: Jaedong wasn't quite confident before the game, and Fantasy was really confident.
A: Jaedong= The reason why I wasn't confident is because I haven't played Terran in the practice room for over a year. I played a few games to practice yesterday and I thought that it was really frustrating and that it'd be really hard. But for sure, I learned that Terran is a great race to play after playing it during broadcasted games.
Fantasy = On the other hand, I thought I was just overflowing a bit too much with confident. But I'm quite satisfied because I was able to play an entertaining game.
Q: How affected was your match by the threat of the sand-eel extract?
A: Jaedong = Of course the extract had a huge effect on the game. I really didn't want to eat it. If I eat it by myself I don't really care, but Coach Park would be eating it with me. I didn't want to make another person suffer just because of me.
Fantasy = I never had sand-eel extract before so my hands got cold before the game. But because I was confident I forgot about it, but I was reminded of it just before I forfeited.
Q: It looked like you were enjoying yourself today.
A: Jaedong = No matter how I put it, the fact that I was playing a game as Terran was enjoyable by itself. I was quite satisfied as I was able to flamboyantly win with Terran in a huge crowd. I also thought that fans were really enjoying it.
Q: Any last comments?
A: Jaedong = I played in the All Star Games every year after my Debut, but I think the games today was the most fun ever. I hope that these all star games where we are able to have fun wtih the fans would continue in the future too. Next time I'll show an even more amazing fan service.
Fantasy = I'm able to leave today with a lot of laughter because the broadcasting stations and KeSPA prepared a lot of things for us. Next time I'll pay even more attention and do my best to provide more joy to the fans.
