EPTLarva vs Sky Winner Interview
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/GfQ01.png)
Seo Yeon Ji: Congratulations on making it to finals! How do you feel?
Larva: I didn't think I'd be able to win and make it to the finals. I came here with the goal of making this a learning experience. I also wanted to feel less pressured (for the match at Konkuk University). But I'm really glad I won! I'm confident I can take on either Killer or Pusan. I hope to see all of you there!
Seo Yeon Ji: You seemed humble at first but you're actually very confident! While advancing up to the finals, there were probably times when you were in danger of getting eliminated or sure of advancing. What do you think were some of those moments?
Larva: Well on the 4th Set, I missed assigned my rally points to my main and all my zerglings were clumped in base. But on Wind and Cloud, I was able to win a game where I was disadvantage so I feel really good!
Seo Yeon Ji: That was the point where you were sure of victory?
Larva: Yes.
Seo Yeon Ji: So then, from today's game when did you think you were in most danger of losing?
Larva: Can I just say something funny? (T/N: Larva uses the word 드립 here which I had no idea how to translate..)
Seo Yeon Ji: Sure go ahead.
Larva: I couldn't focus on the game because my eyes kept wander off to you hohoho
Seo Yeon Ji: I'll just.. take it as a compliment. Thank you! The next question is how did you manage yourself to get out of that moment of crisis in the game but...
*They laugh and Larva goes back to actually answering the question*
Larva: On Wind and Cloud, my 3rd expansion didn't have any drones yet but after I had transfered some workers, I forced the game into a management battle rather than an aggressive back and forth fight. I think if had pumped only hydras and tried to finish the games I would have lost.
Seo Yeon Ji: So it's the finals next week, do you already feel the pressure of having to compete in the finals?
Larva: I don't think I have yet grasped the reality of it. I think once I go home and start streaming I'll began to realize how scary and tense it can be to compete in a finals match.
Seo Yeon Ji: So in this next match, one of the two players will be your opponent for the finals. Who do you predict to advance?
Larva: I predict Killer to make it to the finals, but Pusan has been performing so well lately I can't be sure.
Seo Yeon Ji: So then, you would prefer to play Killer in the finals?
Larva: I'd prefer to play Pusan. He's a toss and I'm confident in my ZvP.
Seo Yeon Ji: So next week's finals will be at the Konkuk University. Could you say a word to the viewers and fans inviting them to come?
Larva: Well, today there were a lot more ppl who came to watch than I had expected, so I predict there will be even more people at the finals. Some of my top afreeca fans weren't able to make it due to time and location but I hope to all see them at the finals!
Seo Yeon Ji: Everyone is really looking forward to next weeks finals. They said Konkuk University's stage has 800 seats. How do you think you'd feel if all 800 seats were filled up?
Larva: If all 800 seats are filled, I don't think there's anyway not to feel pressured. If all 800 seats are filled, I'll choose around 100 people at random and buy quickviews for them using my prize money.
Seo Yeon Ji: So then it's an event! I really hope a lot of people show up. Could you say a word of thanks for the viewers here at the offline and those watching online?
Larva: First off, for the people who aren't yet my fan (T/N: In order to be a fan on afreeca you must shoot a minimum of 1 balloon) on afreeca, you should be! I also ask that people stop BMing me on afreeca chat.
Seo Yeon Ji: Thank you for this interview and congratulations on advancing to the finals! We hope to see more awesome games from you! Thank you!
Oh, It seems people outside are requesting that you do a ceremony! Could you show us a ceremony?
Larva: I didn't really prepare one this time.
Seo Yeon Ji: You can just make one up on the spot!
Larva: Hmm.. Then instead of a ceremony can I maybe ask you for a request?
Seo Yeon Ji: Oh, what is it?
Larva: If it's not too much to ask.. can I give you a hug?
Seo Yeon Ji: Oh my! What do I do?
(Didn't prepare a ceremony hohoho nice one Larva)
Sonic: I don't think she's ever coming back. Damn, I don't think she's going to come to the finals.
Zergman: Larva seems too happy :D
Sonic: She's not coming to the finals because of Larva.
(T/N: of course, sonic was being sarcastic)
Pusan vs Killer Winner Interview

Seo Yeon Ji: Congratulations on advancing to the finals! How do you feel?
Killer: I anticipated the games to be difficult, and they were. But, Luck was on my side and I was able to win.
Seo Yeon Ji: Even though you won 3-0 your so humble. While advancing to the finals, there were sure to be games where you felt in danger of being eliminated or games where you were sure to win. Looking back, what were some of those moments?
Killer: On the first set against Pusan, he opted for a double nexus. I wasn't originally going to 9 pool on the second set but I had a feeling Pusan would go for another double nexus. Having won the second set so easily, I think I felt more confident in winning the third game as well. There were times where I felt I would lose (the third set), but I got really lucky.
Seo Yeon Ji: So then, during today's game when did you feel like you'd most likely lose?
Killer: I'd have to say it was during the third set, where I tried to set up a contain (with the double hatcheries on the high ground). Before it could be completed, the contain got broken so I thought that I had lost.
Seo Yeon Ji: The hatcheries were part of a contain? I had thought it was some sort of ceremony.
Killer: No it wasn't a ceremony. It was to strengthen the contain and for a more assured victory. Pusan was no easy opponent and I don't think I had the leisure of doing ceremonies in-game.
Seo Yeon Ji: Next week is the finals match. The game did just end but do you already start to feel the pressure?
Killer: Well, I did just win so I don't really have much to say on that. The finals are going to a ZvZ, but the 3rd place match will have both Sky and Pusan so I hope a lot of people will show up and fill up the seats.
Seo Yeon Ji: Your opponent is going to be Larva. What are you thoughts?
Killer: To be honest, I didn't think Larva would make it, but it seems Larva practices quite a lot. I feel if I don't practice a lot and try my hardest, winning the finals could be very difficult.
Seo Yeon Ji: The finals is going to take place at Konkuk University. Could you say a word to your fans to encourage them to come out?
Killer: People may be reluctant to come since the finals is a ZvZ and it will end quicker than the other match ups... But this is the first time an online tournament has gone offline and has this much success. In order for this offline starleague to grow and develop, we really need the support from fans and viewers. I hope to see many of you at the finals!
Seo Yeon Ji: I knew it was an online based tournament but I was surprised by how much it's thriving! Do you think we will be able to fill up all 800 seats at Konkuk University?
Killer: I think with the number of viewers, we could potentially fill up 800 or more. I would definitely feel the pressure of competing in the finals especially if all the seats were filled.
Seo Yeon Ji: There's a lot of people here at the offline, and many more at watching online. Are there any words you'd like to say to the viewers?
Killer: Last week's match also ended 3-0. I really wanted to show the viewers a really exciting match for today but I didn't have that kind of leisure. I apologize for that. At the finals, I plan to try my hardest to make exciting and memorable matches that all viewers can enjoy!
Seo Yeon Ji: Thank you so much for this interview! Congratulations on advancing to the finals, we hope to see more exciting games from you. Thank you!
Oh I forgot, could you show us a ceremony?
(LOL I have never seen Zergman and Sonic laugh so damn hard XD)
