SK Telecom’s Bang Tae Soo (Alone) “Feels good to win, it’s been too long”.
SK Telecom T1 Bang Tae Soo’s (Alone) words are short. After the first match against ACE on the 17th, after he won, Alone’s short responses disappointed the fans. Even in the interview room, Alone did not respond up to two words. Alone has made the reporters in effect, make questions longer and it doesn’t seem likely his responses will become any longer. Alone responded “I do not know how to speak longer. Short answers are my specialty”, said it in a great length of two sentences.
Q. After your transfer, your impressions on your first win? A. Good. Happy. Really good.
Q. How long has it been since your last Proleague match. A. 7 months.
Q. You seemed very happy after winning. A. I felt nervous because it’s been so long since I won.
Q. After your transfer to SK Telecom, how did you feel when your entry was confirmed? A. I was shocked. Did not expect this at all. I practiced without thinking of playing at all.
Q. How are your in-house matches? A. Not good. I don’t have good skills. I rested for a long time. My senses are not sharp.
Q. Why do you think Park Yong Woon coach sent you? A. I don’t know. He told me I would play Air Force ACE, and told me to win.
Q. In your game with great, did you know about the hidden expo at 1 o clock? A. I knew it. Didn’t see it with sight. It felt like a hatchery was there.
Q. When did you think you won the game? A. When my scourges reduced the mutalisks. Afterwards the mutalisk battle, when I grabbed his tail I thought I won.
Q. A word to Lee Yae Hoon? (Sacsri) A. Sacsri has a better record and skills than me. If he gets entry chances, I think he will do better than me.
Q. During your broadcast interview, you mentioned Lee Jae Dong (Jaedong). A. I asked him to buy me a meal. After I got the question, I didn’t have much to say. When I was at Hwaseung, I learned a lot from watching Jaedong. He has a distinct playstyle of doing many things at once.
Q. A reason why Zergs are not performing well this season? A. It is hard to understand the maps. If it’s easy to beat Protoss, you can’t beat Terran. Because they meet so much Terran, it is hard to get entries. That’s why their records and win rates are not good.
Q. Anything you want to say. A. To practice for matches, the coaching staff gave me tons of help. Thank you. Thank you so much for giving me an entry. I am thankful to my practice partners. I hope they all have good fortune in new year's. (TN: Chinese/Lunar New Years)

[Welcome new SKT1 Zergs :DDD and where's ma Fantasy interview zzz]
Thank you for the interview, he kind of gets right to the point. I'm glad he got sent out (although I was really surprised to see him), it's good to see him get some play time. Hopefully he, and Sacsri, can help stabilize our Zerg line.
Thanks for the translation. I'd be lying if I said it was the most interesting Winner's interview I'd read, but it's still cool to get some sort of insight into one of our new recruits.

Nope I'm afraid, but we get a nice audio tidbit from the VODs for Fantasy, I'll write a short summary.
Casters - he was put in the worst position, since he scouted last against a fast nexus, you were in a bad situation, how did you play so well Fantasy - after seeing so many dragoons at the ridge with scv, I thought there would be openings if I attacked with vultures. Casters - this is Fantasy's skill. You are ahead with most wins now, thoughts? Fantasy - even if I get 1st place stuff like this, I always lose them Casters - even if you lost it so quick, you must not be so excited Fantasy - oh that's not it, since the season is only halfway though, I think I can be confident in keeping spots at the end of Round 2. Casters - Ahh look, your fantastic vulture play on screen, what did you feel here, you had plenty of damage at your natural cc Fantasy - ahh.. after seeing the stargates on the right side, I felt like he was overdoing it -_-. Casters - what do you mean too much, against me? Fantasy? using fast carriers against me? Fantasy - well a bit yes, but really in starleague finals... I lost to this build twice to JangBi, this gave me a flashback of that time. If I didn't do any damage with vultures this game, I thought what a bad start it would be for me potentially. That's why I thought he overdid it. Casters - ohh I see, making you relive some bad memories, maybe it raised your fighting spirit more. Do you feel more angry when you lose to this build? Fantasy - yeah at the end I wanted to do some kind of reverse ceremony, but I couldn't think of one.
Casters - GoRush - he didn't scout early today, maybe if he didn't get scouted, for a fast core, I'm very curious if that's the case, the reason why he made pylon at that time. Kal - I think I was very lucky today Casters - in what ways? Kal - I tried responding to my opponent's build, my first attack got owned and even after that I won, So I think I was lucky. Casters - did you do change anything in your game plan that was predicted by GoRush caster because of a fast scout by Best? Kal - nope (casters : lol) didn't change anything in the build order by the scout Casters - after seeing natural nexus going up what did you want to do next Kal - after seeing natural, I wanted to put 4 dragoons up on the hill, but my opponent had so many units, I was so close to losing here (center fight up to 3 o clock base)

One day... the SKT1 coach realises that Alone is much more reliable (and moar potential) than SoO or s2
