[SK Planet] Team8's  Jaedong: "Have faith and wait for me"
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/rotinegg/20120527_bab6c7da72f715ff2dc.jpg)
When Jaedong lost to KT Rolster's Crazy-Hydra in SC2, it was deemed that he was lacking in terms of skill in the new game. However, Jaedong put on a completely new face in the ace match and lead his team to victory by beating  Lizzy. [I swear his name was Motive when I was watching it live, but oh well, I may be mistaken] Jaedong said "It's too early to be making judgements about my SC2 skills" and emphasized that "I am practicing hard, so I hope the fans can have patience."
Q Your team's first win.
A It tasted so sweet. Even though I dropped a game in today's match, the team was desperate for a victory. I think the pain of losing went away with our team winning. It feels good to have won in the ace match.
Q Amongst TBLS [Bisu, Stork,  Flash, Jaedong], Flash was the first to win. Does that bother you?
A Nope. It's not like we've been losing every game, either. However it does add pressure, and I'm sure the other two have been feeling the same. At this point, there are expectations for TBLS and other A class players to produce results. I feel that way as well. I have been practicing hard. My head is filled with thoughts of Starcraft 24/7. It's hard to truly relax even during breaks. For my fans, I need to bring my skills up a notch higher.
Q Were you planned to play in the ace match?
A I was confident. I think the coaching staff put faith in me as well.
Q Did you copy Stephano's play in the ace match.
A Yes, I followed his play style. Honestly, I don't have the confidence that I will win every game in SC2 just yet. I don't have a solid grasp on the underlying concepts. I don't think I am at a level where you can compare my play to that of other zerg players such as Stephano.
Q Were you expecting Lizzy in ace.
A Yes. However I didn't prepare for the ace match. I trusted my experience. I focused more on preparing for Crazy-hydra. I feel the situation leading up to my victory in ace was quite strange and I just somehow won [Anybody have any idea what he is referring to? Was the game strange or did something happen? Only watched the ace match and I don't understand SC2 lol]
Q You lost your game to Crazy-hydra even though you had the advantage.
A Even as I was playing I could feel my skill was not up to par. Even when I win it doesn't feel like I won. I need some more time. [Losing in SC2] feels different from losing in BW [T/N: The original article made an error here, so I tried to guess what JD would have said given the context. The original article says "It feels different from losing in Starcraft:Wings of Liberty (ie SC1) [sic]." which was why I was confused.]. That should be enough evidence that my skills [in SC2] are not up to par.
Q There must be alot of stress associated with practicing SC2
A I believe that time will solve the struggles I am having in-game. I try not to get stressed out, because I know I am lacking in skill. I will get better if I keep practicing at this pace. This season does require you to be good at both SC1 and SC2, nonetheless. I think that doubles the amount of stress.
Q You will be playing SC1 vs Airforce ACE
A Some may say [switching back and forth] is difficult but that's a commonality for all players, so I believe it is a level playing field. A professional must strive for the best results, no matter what the situation at hand may be.
Q Any last words?
A We got our first victory, but there is still a long road ahead. My teammates probably felt it was difficult to get that first win as well. I don't think we lack in terms of skill relative to other teams. I want to do well in the matches that are left. I feel the fans must be worried, because there is no guarantee that SC1 skills transfer over to SC2. In their perspective, where they are rooting for a specific player, that must cause alot of anxiety. I just want to say, have faith and wait for me. I have confidence to become among the best in SC2 as well.

Lizzy is Motive indeed, also dont know why he thought he was in a bad position in the ace match. The game got decided when Lizzy lost his third with his immortals+sentries and uptill that point there werent really anything to indicate he was behind.
Hoping T8 gets some more wins so they can get a sponsor soon as well :/

Ah I love jaedong interviews

Thank you so much, been waiting for this interview.

Jaedong hwating ~ thanks for the interivew

Thank you so much, I've been waiting for the translation. It must be really hard playing under the pressure of knowing that so many people are expecting you to switch over and produce good results. Myself and many others have all the time in the world though. I hope he does well against ACE. <3

The game is a very textbook PvZ. P got to greedy with the fast third base without enough army to support/defend it and got rolled by 12 min 200 food Roaches timing attack.

Thank you nice interview! I do have faith in you JD!

so handsome
also frigging Riji in Ace, Jaedong loves the Riji.
|
Jaedong has great decision making. He decides to win, and then he does.
|
Jaedong improved a great deal since one week ago, he's still very rough around the edges, but you can definitely see he's pouring his best in.
|
Thanks a lot for this, but are only specific winners interviews being translated?
|
go jaedong
does anybody know what that logo on his t-shirt is about? it was on all the team8 jackets at the match too, but i only count 5 white stripes, shouldn't it be 8 stripes or something?
thanks for translation!

Team 8 is only a temporary name anyway, they probably won't keep this when they find a sponsor.
|
He's still got the champion mindset even though the league is making it ridiculously hard on them, especially TBLS. Go Jaedong!

The logo is the logo of Undefeated, which is the clothing sponsor of both Team 8 and Woonjin Stars.

Thanks for the translation!
TBLS fighting!
Jaedong, I pull for you the most <3

I have faith in you JD too!

He made a bunch of roaches and kind of a-moved to victory. It wasn't an all-in or anything (Jaedong was taking a fourth and teching behind it), but Lizzy played a little greedy and had bad Forcefields, so he just sort of died earlier than you'd expect.
|
Didn't care that KT lost, I cared for Flash & JD winning there games ; D next time it be different ahaha ; D maybe.....
Thanks for the interview. I think Flash would had been a better Ace but that's just my opinion.
|
I dont like this system, but I have to agree with him, who excels in both games shall prevail, and with they getting better at this scale, it will be a big challange

Thanks very much for the translation dude, was wondering what this interview said

two-pronged attack =/= a-move

Yeah, basically Lizzy played really poorly and Jaedong didn't expect to just win with that attack. He wasn't really teching or expanding as fast as he should have, but his focus on constant aggression payed off.

Jaedong is going to crush, I can't wait.
[Losing in SC2] feels different from losing in BW
This makes me sad 
I imagine that he is feeling there is less he can do to determine the outcome of a game.
Edit: because he is inexperienced with the game

Look, I don't know if you have a bias against zerg or something. But the dong did not a move. He was attacking in 2 pronged attacks and poking while controling 3 control groups. Did you even watch the video? He actually set his control keys to 1 roach group, 1 roach group, 1 ling group. And he was moving them all in different directions time to bait out forcefields before going for a surround. You can say any zergs a move for all I care, but the dong definitely showed he didn't a move.

A Korean BW-pro referencing a foreigner in an official interview when talking about his strategy choice and build. Mind=blown.

I know, I read that myself but in that situation he was doing an interview with a foreign SC2 news/community site and not with the korean media. I think this is pretty cool.

Seeing those two up against each other would have been way more epic, even if its on the SCII arena.

I think it is because he is still in the 'learning' fase of SC2.

I think I understand what he meant by that bit. In the ace match vs Lizzy he thought he was going to lose but managed to win and he didn't really understand why. I think he controlled the situation well thats how he won but from his perspective it was a lot closer than it looked to an observer. Plus he lost to that army composition last time he played against protoss so he wouldn't be all that comfortable after that.

Yeah that's how I read it. He understands BW so thoroughly, and can usually trace his losses back to control mistakes, mind game losses, and the like. But with SC2, he knows even during the game that he isn't really comfortable with it at all, build timings, resource management, control issues, and potential opponent strategies are not all rushing through his head as comfortably as they are in BW.
Basically, I imagine when he loses in BW, he thinks "I needed to understand my opponent better." But when he loses in SC2, it's probably closer to "I needed to understand this game better."
And I'm actually kind of excited about that. It's probably way more frustrating when you are the absolute master of a game to lose to an opponent who is just outthinking or outplaying you. But losing while still being able to see extremely clearly areas in which you can improve has to be much easier to handle.

Oh man, I am waiting for the day Jaedong whips out his dong face and starts raping people again...

Amazing that he picked a foreign SC2 player, not a Korean SC2 player. I guess he must really like Stephano's style. Times are changing. Now if only Stephano -- being elevated in such a way by a BW legend -- really cared about it, haha. Anyways, thanks for translating the interview!

Thank you very much for the interview. <3 Jaedong.
|
Thanks for the interview! So happy that JD could get his first sc2 win!
|
stephano must be loving life right now, he should go on a man date with jaedong

A professional must strive for the best results, no matter what the situation at hand may be.
Jaedong4ever. I will wait as long as I have to for your domination in SC2.

I might be stretching it a bit, but if you consider the red space between the white lines as red lines, then there are 5 white lines and 3 red lines, totaling 8.
Also, note that between n white lines there are n - 1 red lines. So, if you draw the lines in a row (ex: | | | | |), then you will always obtain an odd number of combined red and white lines.
|
i shall wait even until the end of time if necessary
|
|

|
|
That ace match was pretty damn good, I thought Jaedong played quite well even compared to some Code S zergs.
|
I guess he felt strange because he isn't confident against protoss and still don't understand the game (his ZvZ was also a little odd, he doesnt seem to understand the concept of attacking/droning in ZvZ). He lost his first Starcraft 2 against a protoss because he did a weird move (and suicide half of his army), showing that he is still trying to figure out this match up.

And you are modo?...
Obviously it just means that he still doesn't have the skill in Starcraft 2 to understand his mistakes.
If there was less to do to determine the outcome of a game in Starcraft 2, it wouldn't be the same players who win every tournaments (and he wouldn't say: I can be the best).
Starcraft 2 is still not as balance as Brood War (we will see with HotS) but the skill cap is definitely big enough for that the best player win. And I don't even know why I have to say that, even on a casual game, the best player win most of the time if it's not totally random.

He played well but a high master on EU server can do that. 
Don't under estimate code s, a or even b players, they are most of the time GM on Korean server and I don't think JD is GM at the moment. He just executed perfectly a build and won, not enough to be compared to a sc2 progamer.
|
Inspiring interview, jaedong's professionalism always surprises me. I have faith
|
From that facial expression and word of determination, I am feeling that we are in for yet another reign of tyranny. Keep being mad, JD, keep being mad.
|
|
|
Thanks for translation, he seems to happy after that win
|
Jaedong always so professional and optimistic. We'll be waiting, Tyrant.
|
|
|
|
|
So happy for him, he looked mechanically really solid, and out-played Motive with two fronts while still macroing well and teching and expanding. Oh, and looking nonchalant and totally cool.
We will wait even though we can't, JD.
|
always have faith in the Dong
|
|
|
WOOT! JD slowly but surely making his way back to Tyrant status!
Thanks for the translation!
|
Thanks Rotinegg for the translation!
|
GO JAEDONG GO!
JD is still the only player that gets my adrenaline pumping during games. JD winning his 1st SC2 game in an ace match against KT of all teams made me so happy. JD for life
|
Gogo Jaedong!!! I'll be cheering for team 8 this year over SKT. I really hope T8 gets sponsored this year.
|
Jaedong is so inspirational! I love him and hope he succeeds in SC2 <3
|
So happy to see JD winning again.
|
Thank you for the translation, hopefully T8 have more winner's interviews this round/season then they did last round/season.
|
Thanks for the translation/ interview
Jaedong winning always makes me happy ^^ Hopefully he stays strong in BW and keeps improving in SC2 ♥
|
|
|
|
|
shiny nose hehe . prob too stress
|
When I saw him play the ace match, doing the two pronged attack, I kept thinking to myself: Don't get trapped by forcefields. Don't get in a position where he will trap you with forcefields. He had better positioning for engagements this game. I think he learnt from his lesson on forcefields the previous week.
And when I saw the lings flooding in, I felt the wrath coming for Lizzy.
|
Stephano has unbelievable swag and is surely one the best Zergs in the world right now, but playstyle wise I wish JD would look into more TSl Symbol and FXO Leenock games.
I wanna see the Dong's BW mechanics be used for burrowed Banelings, alot of Infestors, two or three pronged Muta harass, drops, nydus shenanigans and stuff like that. Because if there's one Zerg who can truely outmultitask anyone on this planet, it's Jaedong.
|
ANY INSTRUCTION TO BUY THAT RED UNDFTD SHIRT IN KOREA???
so want it :p
|
Oh JD, I want you soo bad.

Do you seriously think he's going to pick Nestea (for being Zergbong), DongRaeGu (someone who has a 3-33 winrate in the CJ B team ranking leagues), IdrA (CJ B teamer), or Ret (someone who got RO8 Courage as his best result)?

Even though I'm always sad when KT loses, I couldn't help but feel a bit elated with Jaedong's win. Hopefully T8 can get some more wins and pick up a sponsor or two !

No comprendo. Stephano's Korean BW record is worse than every player you listed. JD just happens to like his plays.
|
Stephano's builds are much more 'obvious' and easy to follow as they don't rely as much on reading and countering your opponent as for example Nestea or DRG do; on top of that, there are so many more VODs of his games available, it's hardly surprising that JD would cite him as a player he is watching the most.
I can't believe people are somehow using that as 'omg foreigners!!!11' or bringing up past BW results??? into this...
oh and, JD<3

What about Stephano? His record is worse then all of them as he didn't play bw lol. So your point makes absolutely no since whatsoever.

What was Stephano's background before Sc2 ?

Warcraft 3
On picking Stephano: There's a theory that foreigners invent new stategies while the koreans perfect them :p

Really fun to watch Jaedong dismantle Lizzy like that (particularly the two pronged kiting with roach/ling). Hard not to be happy for Team 8 as well- I'm a sucker for the underdogs.

i dont think there can be much done to perfect it though, its a very solid build and strong on its own, but what makes stephanos zvp so good is not the build itself, its the fact that he somehow figured out protoss, he basically knows every protoss timing down to the second

I can't believe people are somehow using that as 'omg foreigners!!!11' or bringing up past BW results??? into this...
oh and, JD<3
Jaedong didn't just cite him as a player he is watching the most, he actually said he likes stephano's style and admires it. He even said it is beautiful that he is a foreigner and is so good. -_-

No where did jaedong say stephano is "so good". He simply thinks stephanos style is the style he invisions himself using.

I have faith in you Jaedong !

Jaedong played pretty well against Motive, looked like a real game that could've been played on a pro level. Not like most of the games in Proleague, which are all played like GSL games played out over a year ago. His game against Motive actually looked almost exactly like the Stephano vs MC games at MLG Spring Arena 2.
Nice interview, and nice translation! I have faith in Jaedong!
