I translated this with ChatGPT so... it may have errors but this was what I got after the game. What a dominating performance by Flash! Fighting! The finals will be so good... anyway. Interview translation below...

Interviewer: Let’s meet the player Flash, who has made it to the finals with a brilliant performance on stage. Congratulations!

Flash:
Thank you.

Interviewer:
You showed a flawless 4-0 performance and advanced to the finals. It feels like calling you the best Terran of this season is not enough; you showed the strongest Terran form. How do you feel right now?

Flash: I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but I won more easily than expected, so I’m really happy. I feel like I’m regaining my old form step by step. Compared to my past form, I think I’m over 90% back. In the finals, I’ll be at 100% and beat Soma

Interviewer: When it was decided you’d face Light, you said he’s like a machine, so you’d have to push with tempo. And just as you said, in all four sets, you dominated with speed. Did things go exactly as you prepared?

Flash: Yes, everything fell into place. I focused on optimization, and I believed I was better at optimizing. I thought if I pushed early, I’d create a gap. I prepared to be aggressive early, and if it didn’t work, I’d defend. But today, my hands were in great shape, so I didn’t feel like I’d lose.

Interviewer: From the first set, your aggressive mindset was clear. Even when his siege tanks were in place, you went in. Did you decide you could break through, or was it a let’s try it mentality?

Flash: The situation was good, so even if blocked, I could handle it. I went in confident I could break through, and it worked out.

Interviewer: Now I wonder how Soma feels facing you at 100% in the finals. How do you feel facing him in the finals?

Flash: In this season, I faced tough opponents: Bisu, Jaedong, Snow, Light. If I beat Soma, it’s a perfect story - coming back after 6 years. I’m happy about how it turned out. It’s not easy, I still question whether I’m really back or not.. After 6 years, I’m here to prove myself and win.

Interviewer: For fans, the excitement of a 5th championship is high. Since you said you’re nearly at peak form, we’re all excited. Any words for fans and colleagues?

Flash: Thanks to my friends who came to support me. Bo-sung (Sea?) always supports my games, so thanks to him. Thanks to Yeong-jin (Rush?), Gyu-hyung (Barracks?), and Mong for practice. Thanks to Cheol-gu (Terror) at home. I’ll win the finals and shout out again. To fans: it wasn’t easy, but I made it to the finals. I wanted to prove myself. Thanks to your support, I’ll try my best. The reigning champion Soma—I’ll reclaim the crown that was mine.

Hey - Thanks for posting another winners interview.

It is crazy how confident Flash is about beating Soma.

Until last night I was still unsure about if this Flash is peak Flash. I have been corrected. This is full form Flash and Soma has to be prepared for tech plays, valks, mech, bio and rush timings.

The only thing I don't want, is another smash match, I want both players to get their chance at playing their best in a full length match.

we'll see. flash has been winning almost all of his games this season from the build orders / early-mid game tempo. soma also thrives on this type of playstyle.

the 1 tvz he played this season he lost after having a perfect opening
JAEDONG...!!! EFFORT IS ANGRY. ZERG...?!

Well he beat Light who beat JD so enjoy

I’m just trolling but come on… all he’s saying is that he’s faced tough opponents. It’s JDs fault we didn’t get a longer series… not Flash’s. We all wish we could have seen a series.

One game is impressive by JD no doubt.
