With your two wins today, you were the hero for your team.
It has been a long time since I won twice in one day [T/N presumably he means under the SPL format?] I'm very glad to get two wins. Even though we fell behind 1:3, Crazy-Hydra and I bore the pressure, so I'm proud of us.
You were sent out on the brink of losing. Were you worried about the score?
I didn't think very much about being down 1:3. Instead, I focused my attention on the upcoming game. I pulled my confidence together, and I told myself I wouldn't lose.
In game 5, you cut SCVs to create a timing attack.
Recently, when Protoss face me, they always go a 1gate expand opening [T/N unsure], so my strategy was tailor-made to shut that down. I only wanted to get a small advantage with the opening, but it put me ahead by a lot.
In the ace match, you faced Hydra. Did you want to take revenge on the creator of the MSL Group of Death?
I didn't think of it that way. Group selection is the right of the last champion, and I'll respect that. So I just considered this a faceoff against the outstanding player Hydra. This was actually our first meeting in an official match, so I knew it would be interesting. Making the Group of Death really is the right of the reigning champ, and there's no two ways about it.
Your team had only beaten hite in SWL; in SPL, you had only lost to them.
I can't deny it. We have lost a lot. But today, in R5, we beat them, and we want to do the same in R6. Hite's a very strong team, and we made some mistakes today. But now we've won a series against them, so I hope we can use today as an opportunity to repair our weaknesses.
Recently, your schedule has been very busy. Are you having trouble keeping up with practice?
Even if I didn't have any time to practice, I'd be very relaxed. To be honest, whenever I practice freely instead of focusing on just one match, my results are always better. Playing more games means the chance to get more wins.
Jaedong reached 200 wins in SPL.
I thought before, for me to be the first to reach this mark would be tough, since Jaedong started playing long before me. But I hope I'll be the first to reach 300 wins. There was a time when our win counts were close, but recently the difference is about 10 wins. There's going to be an intense race to 300 wins when we near the mark. I hope everyone will celebrate when one of us obtains it.
Anything else?
Coach Hery gave me a lot of help. For Terran players, he is the best coach. As the team with the strongest Terran line record, the coach must be #1 as well. I want to thank him very much, and since he is rarely noted in interviews, I must thank him extra. Also, our team's housing arrangements have changed, so I'm with the other Terrans. Barracks has recently been doing well, and Suny has immense potential too. To tell the truth, I used to be rather distant from Suny, but in the past few days we've become more close. I know he works very hard, and I hope he can improve his skill.

Stats: I want to thank  YellOw![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1304237004_1.jpg) You guys led your team to victory
Stats: I tried my best as the first player to start the momentum for the team. I'm glad to have won. CH: I was able to win thanks to Flash/Stats. You played  BByong, a rookie terran.
Stats: At first, I tried to play more relaxed because I had more experience than him, but the fact that he was a rookie made me a little nervous. It's very hard to figure out what rookie players would do. You seemed to be a bit flustered after BByong held off your forces
Stats: He held it off better than I had expected. I hoped to finish the game by countering right after the first engagement, but he managed to defend it quite well. I tried to stay focused on the game right away in the possibility that I could lose. Your team was in a tight spot with a score of 1-3.
Stats: It was quite disheartening to see [my team members] prepare so much for these matches and lose. But I'm glad that CH and Flash managed to win. Crazy-Hydra: Your team was behind 2-3. Did you feel any pressure going into the match?
CH: There was a lot of pressure behind me, but the coaches had helped me to control it. You faced Hydra. Were you nervous?
CH: To be honest, I didn't think that I would lose if I had to face a zerg. Sometimes I do get nervous [when facing a zerg], but I felt relaxed today and that helped me to win. Also, the game went in my favour, which helped to calm me down even more. You seem to be filling your role in KT quite well with your 2nd (consecutive) win versus zerg.
CH: I was the "ZvZ specialist" back in Woongjin. Having transferred to KT, I felt pressured to do well in all three matchups. However, the head coach (Jihoon Lee) told me that his biggest expectations was in my ZvZ - so I felt determined to do well in ZvZ no matter what. To be honest, I was a little disappointed because I wanted to play against other races. I don't believe that my skills in terms of other matchups have been tested, and I want to see where I stand against other players. It seems like you're being sent out more often since your transfer.
CH: It's still extremely competitive in KT to get sent out. Right now, I'm trying my best with the mindset that I've been given more chances before other zerg players in the team. With the new change in the house, I heard you guys have divided the rooms by race.
Stats: Right now I'm sharing a room with  Reach and Coach Hery. Because I'm the youngest, they take a good care of me. It feels like I'm sharing a room with my older brother. CH: I shared a room with Stats when I first came to KT, but now I'm with other zerg players. Because we're all zerg, it's easier to discuss strategies amongst ourselves. Any last words?
Stats: YellOw gives me a lot of encouragement and advice all the time, which helps me a lot. I want to congratulate HoeJJa for the 3rd year anniversary of his debut, as well as thank the coaches. I hope the players that lost today feel better. CH: Today is HoeJJa's 3rd year since his debut, and I want to congratulate him. Also, we all agreed to each get a bicycle to exercise - I can't wait to get one and ride it with my teammates.

Thank you for the translation. Hm, wish there was a nice statistic about PL, how often each player was send out(minus WL and playoffs) and their win rate etc etc.

Thanks for the interview, I seem to like Flash more with every game he wins(especially over Hydra).
Missed question:
How baller are you?
Flash: This baller.

Thanks for the translation, flash is awesome, nothing more to add.

Hahaha, that's so awesome. I should start paying attention to what Flash writes before every game.

No one has ever noticed the "start yo" before? I swear I've seen him do it before

I love his 'start' spam before every match, but yeah, I don't think I've ever seen him say 'start yo' before.

He's not the only one who does it. "yo" is a form of informal-polite sentence ending in Korean.

Bisu spams a lot right before a match too. I believe he thinks APM starts counting in the match up screen. So I in turn do the same. Grats to KT for another LB win for me...yo!
|
Also, our team's housing arrangements have changed, so I'm with the other Terrans. Barracks has recently been doing well, and Suny has immense potential too
KT academy new targets spotted... Such a pity and i like Barracks too.

Bisu needs to learn from Flash's mindset

If you weren't on my FPL, CH, I would hate you so much right now
Getting a bike is totally cool, though.

Stats: Right now I'm sharing a room with Reach
Coming soon....
The MAN-CHIN.
|
They're going to get one of those big multi-person bicycles and ride it around Incheon or Seoul or wherever. It's going to be totally adorable.
|
Pretty awesome stuff.
|
I love Stats's hair in the interview pic, and the fact that he's living in a room with Reach is just so baller, as the above poster mentioned we're awaiting the arrival on The MAN-CHIN.
And I also love the fact that CH isn't going in a slump (so far) after his transfer as Action did.

To be honest, you guys are just guessing that Flash was trying to be polite. It's also very possible that Flash was indeed being baller, and that everyone is just thinking he was being polite.
I'm definitely taking it like that =P
|
With your two wins today, you were the hero for your team.
He is always the hero of his team regardless of whether he wins or not.
|
I've seen Flash say "start yo" and "gl yo" and other stuff pretty often before games.

This sounds like a subtle bashing towards oov and fantasy imo. This must be flash's way of contributing the 'Terran meeting' thread.

I noticed this as well. Definitely passive aggressive. I look forward to Oov's response

Thanks for the interviews :D Lol @ the baller post.

Wooot thanks for translating the interviews <3
FlaSh and Jaedong racing for 300 wins, I can't wait for it!

and HoeJJa, happy belated anniversary :D congrats KT.

I want to live in a pro gaming house T_T and thanks for the interview ..

Flash calling out the Hydra haters. lol. This guy is 18, and he's more mature than about 80% of TL.
|
-.- this DOES gets published on mags, and broadcasted on TVs you know? He cant really afford to be bitching about it. Plus, repeating that "its the champion's rights" sounds really political to me. Not once did he say a single positive thing about it, just "its his right, i cant complain".
|
Of course, why would he be happy with a group with Bisu and Jaedong? Flash doesn't necessarily agree with the move to the point that he'd do it himself, but he accepts it as part of the rules. As finalists it's their right to make a group like that. That's what I mean with mature, that Flash accept that. It's kind of like cheesing. It enables bad players to beat better players, but it's part of the game so you just have to accept it.
But I am one of the few who as a spectator saw the group as a good thing, (not so much as a Bisu fan) and I think that's mainly why they made the group. I'm mostly sad for Sea, who got caught up in the action, but 2 BvF and 1 JvF game is probably more TBLS action than we would have seen with normal groups, and it's still very likely that JD and Flash will play eachother again.
