(T)sSak - "I will show you how much fun TvT is."


[image loading]


Q: You've advanced to the finals. How are you feeling?
A: Before the Round of 32, I joked that I really wanted to see IU at the finals and I guess the joke has ultimately become a reality for me. I'm very happy.

Q: How do you feel about having 4 Terrans in the Round of 4?
A: Personally, it is good for me. Naturally, I enjoy TvT and when playing against experienced players is a problematic match-up so I somehow treated the game like a final.

Q:The first set saw a huge battle unfold.
A: Actually, it was a very favorable situation for me because his units were damaged already. If I had lost that first set, I would have probably lost the series today. My opponent had many chances to finish the game but didn't so I was able to take advantage of it today.

Q: In the third set, (T)HiyA used nukes against you.
A: When I heard the sound of the nuclear missile go off, I knew where he fired it. My opponent exhausted of all of his resources that he had so he could only target one place which was my expansion. At first, I thought it was a joke (laughs). Because of the situation, I got nervous and didn't use my scanner but luckily I had a science vessel to detect the ghost.

Q: It seems the 12 o'clock expansion was critical to winning the set.
A: If I had fought before taking the 12 o'clock expansion I probably would have lost. Fortunately he gave me the time to secure the expansion so I could win.

Q: The finals will be between the sword and the shield.
A: When (T)Last was interviewed, he said that he wanted an aggresive style while using mind games. I hope that doesn't happen (laughs). If I block his aggression I will prevent my defeat (laughs). Personally, that's what I think about aggression.

Q: You will meet IU. How do you feel about that?
A: Previously she was at the Proleague finals but I never got to take a picture or anything like that. This time at the individual league final, I want to take a picture with her. It is truly an honor for me because I've been a fan of her ever since she debuted.

Q: Who are you thinking of practicing for the finals with?
A: For today's match I practiced with (T)PianO, (T)Sharp and Yoon Moon-su. I'm really thankful that they helped me get to the finals (laugh).

Q: What is your resolution for the finals?
A: For the fans, TvT seems to be a match-up with not that many expectations. However, I have a lot of days to prepare so I will try to show a different play style to Last. Please feel free to support me.

Ugh, this translation was harder - a lot more vocabulary I was unfamiliar with so apologies if it reads weirdly.

I thought Last likes defending, so I was surprised that he is the 'sword' there. Now I remember him talking that he wants to take initiative in his games. Anyways, shield vs shield would be fun too.

sSak and Last, two IU fanboys clash in front of IU and I will -hopefully- witness it in person. Since sSak shows his IU fanboyism more and Last seems like an unbeatable machine, I'll be cheering for sSak though mainly just for awesome games as always.

Today series were amazing <3

Thanks, GTR!

In the third set, HiyA used nukes against you.
(T)sSak...At first, I thought it was a joke

Seeing it's ineffectiveness, it was, by and large, a joke

Fun fights, sSak *fighting*!

who is IU, and why everybody talk so much about it?
Highly doubt sSak and Last will play different style for the finals, in the semis sSak followed the example of Last with battlecruisers and did standart tvt play in general. sSak need way too much practice to be able to play in a different way, we'll see if this is just talking to fool his opponent and im expecting Last to be performing exactly the same style but refined for the finals. His aggression must be perfectly done in order to do better than standart teran play into bc-s.
Luv ya BroodWar!

IU is a famous/popular Korean singer/celebrity. She is the celebrity crush of many people.

Should be an interesting final. I haven't watched much of sSak's play, but Last has looked like he's on a mission so I expect Last to come out on top in this one.
