Interview with Jaedong

'Tyrant' Jaedong, "If I get the chance, I will all-kill CJ"

[image loading]


You performed an all kill.
- I was slightly worried because I felt that KTF had become stronger recently but I’m happy that our team was able to advance in the playoffs like this. This time my goal was to get at least 3 kills so I’m very satisfied with my all kill.

Were you confident in completing an all kill.
- Even before the match began I was very confident. I thought to myself that I wouldn’t lose. Because that was my mindset, I think my games went smoothly. Even while playing I felt that an all kill was very much possible. As soon as I completed the all kill, I was very proud of myself.

If you had to pick the hardest match tonight…
- The last match was intense so I think it was the hardest. From the opening I think the game was in my favor but Rush Hour 3 itself is terran favored so until the end I tried very hard not to lose focus. I think my will power was the power behind my win.

In the 1st set you showed some amazing game play.
- In the first match the build order was against me so if I did not gain an advantage I knew I would simply lose the game. But my opponent haphazardly attacked and so I think I was able to win the game.

A direct showdown between you and Forgg unfolded.
- I knew it was going to happen. Because we know each other so well I didn’t really feel too pressured going into the game.

You’ve been all-killed by KTF’s Flash.
- I practiced hard enough to not think about that game all that much. I just made a promise to myself that I would do my job to help get my team to the finals. People were worried that if I lost from the start the team would be in a dangerous position but that acted as a stimulus for me to practice for all situations so that I wouldn’t get sniped.

You now have to play CJ in the finals.
- In the regular season our team lost to them. I know this is just about stats but if we had won there we would have gone straight to the finals as 1st place. When I lost to Skyhigh we were taken out so I felt it was just very inconvenient. Just as this is a new opportunity, I will prepare hard and get revenge. If the chance arrives, I will perform an all kill on CJ.

Last words?
- The passion of all the fans who came to cheer was so amazing that I could even feel it while I was in the booth. I received a lot of strength from the cheering. Also, after the match was over, my teammates were upset they didn’t get a chance to say hi to forgg (laughs). Next time if there’s an opportunity I think it’d be nice if we can at least go out and get food together.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 올킬을 거뒀는데
▲ KTF 전력이 한층 강해진 듯한 느낌을 받아서 걱정했는데 이렇게 팀이 결승에 진출하게 돼서 기쁘다. 이번 목표는 3킬 이상이었는데 올킬을 해서 만족스럽다.

- 올킬할 자신 있었는지
▲ 경기 시작 전부터 자신감에 차 있었다. 지지 않을 것 같은 생각이 들었다. 그런 상태에서 경기를 해서 술술 잘 풀린 것 같다. 경기를 하면서도 올킬할 수 있을 것 같은 느낌이 들었다. 올킬한 순간 내 자신이 정말 자랑스러웠다.

- 가장 힘들었던 경기를 꼽는다면
▲ 마지막 경기가 치열해서 힘들었다. 초반부터 상황은 나에게 좋았지만 러시아워3라는 맵이 테란에게 유리한 전장이라서 끝까지 방심하지 않으려고 노력했다. 근성으로 버틴 것이 승리의 원동력이 되어준 것 같다.

- 1세트에서 대단한 경기력을 보여줬는데
▲ 1경기는 내가 불리한 빌드여서 이득을 취하지 않으면 무난하게 지는 상황이었다. 그런데 상대가 무리하게 공격을 해서 승리할 수 있었던 것 같다.

- 박지수와 맞대결을 펼쳤는데
▲ 출전을 확신했다. 서로 워낙 잘 알고 있어서 큰 부담 없이 경기를 했다.

- KTF의 이영호에게 올킬을 당했었는데
▲ 그때 경기는 별로 생각이 나지 않을 만큼 열심히 준비했다. 그냥 팀이 결승에 갈 수 있도록 내 할 일을 해야 한다고 다짐했다. 주변에서 내가 선봉으로 출전해서 지면 위험할 수도 있다고 걱정하셨는데 그것에 자극 받아서 스나이핑 당하지 않도록 만반의 준비를 했다.

- CJ와 결승전을 해야 하는데
▲ 정규시즌에서 우리 팀이 졌다. 결과론적 얘기지만 거기서 이겼다면 1위로 결승에 직행했을 것이다. 조병세 선수에게 패할 때 전략을 당해서 아쉬움이 많았다. 기회가 다시 주어진 만큼 열심히 준비해서 꼭 복수하겠다. 기회가 된다면 CJ 상대로도 올킬하겠다.

- 끝으로 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 응원해주신 팬분들의 열기가 부스 안에서도 느껴질 만큼 대단했다. 그 응원에 힘을 많이 얻었다. 정말 감사 드린다. 그리고 팀원들이 경기 끝난 뒤 (박)지수와 인사를 하지 못해서 섭섭해 하고 있다(웃음) 다음에 기회가 된다면 같이 밥이라도 한 끼 먹었으면 좋겠다.

Interview with Hwaseung Coach Jo

Hwaseung Coach JoJungOong, "I turn the honor onto my players"

[image loading]


Your feelings on making it to the finals.
- After the vacation, we only practiced for 4 days so I think the result was better than I imagined. I’m thankful for the great performance by Jaedong and I want to turn this honor onto the players who practiced hard for today’s match.

It’s the first all kill of the post season.
- Rather than the score I believe the record is more important. Because Jaedong is setting many records in Esports I’m very happy. Like this I think our team will be known as the team with many records in Esports.

If you had to evaluate today’s game.
- I was sure Forgg would come out in the 2nd set. The biggest concern was the 3rd set. We thought a terran would come out but Luxury came out instead. However, we trusted Jaedong’s zerg skills and watched over him. Although Rush Hour 3 is a hard map for zerg, but because we were on a momentum I thought we could win. I a bit greedily anticipated an all kill but the fact that Jaedong was able to fulfill an all kill made me very satisfied. Many people were worried that sending out Jaedong would end up with a result like the last playoffs but we believed that that wouldn’t happen.

How did you prepare?
- We had a lot of time to prepare so I wondered if they should spend that time preparing but we haven’t had a break in a while so I decided to give them a long break this time. I think the result was that the players rested well and their game play strengthened.

Now you will play CJ in the finals.
- We’ve won once before against CJ in the finals. But this season it seems CJ has gotten stronger so we definitely won’t lose focus. I will care for my players so that they don’t feel pressured that it’s the finals but practice in a comfortable atmosphere.

If you had to pick an important deciding factor in the finals?
- I was hoping that in the 4th set, Tau Cross would be picked but Rush Hour 3 was chosen instead. I think the crucial factor will be where we decide to place Jaedong in the lineup.

Who is the player on CJ to watch out for most?
- In the Winners League, Jaedong lost futilely against Skyhigh. So I hope this time the same matchup can occur. I believe the players to watch out for most on CJ are Skyhigh and Savior.

How are you going to prepare for the next round?
- Because I’m thinking more broadly, in the 4th and 5th round I’m going to use a different system of practice. I will use the mindset that the last person laughing is the victor and not forget my original purpose as I prepare for it.

Mindset before the finals?
- I believe we need to spread the name of Hwaseung to more people. Because a lot of company persons are cheering for us, even if it’s solely for our company we must win.

Last words?
- With the same passion we prepared for the finals I hope we can prepare for the finals and show good results.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 결승 진출 소감
▲ 휴가 끝나고 4일 동안 준비했는데 생각보다 결과가 잘 나온 것 같다. 좋은 결과 내준 (이)제동이에게 고맙고 연습을 열심히 해준 선수들에게 이 영광을 돌리고 싶다.

- 포스트시즌 최초 선봉 올킬인데
▲ 성적보다 중요한 것이 기록이라고 생각한다. (이)제동이가 e스포츠의 많은 기록들을 갈아치우고 있어서 뿌듯하다. 이것을 시작으로 e스포츠의 많은 기록을 보유한 팀으로 거듭나겠다.

- 오늘 경기를 평가한다면
▲ 2세트에서 박지수의 출전을 확신했다. 가장 큰 고비는 3세트였다. 테란이 나올 줄 알았는데 박찬수 선수가 출전하더라. 하지만 제동이의 평소 저그전을 믿고 지켜봤다. 러시아워3는 저그가 힘든 맵이지만 기세를 탔기 때문에 승리할 수 있을 거라고 생각했다. 조금 욕심을 부려 올킬을 기대했는데 그대로 돼서 제동이가 대견스럽다. 많은 분들이 제동이를 선봉에 내보내면 준플레이오프처럼 될지도 모른다고 걱정하셨는데 우리는 그렇게 안될 거라고 믿었다.

- 준비는 어떻게 했는지
▲ 준비 시간이 길어서 이른 시간에 연습을 할까 생각했는데 그동안 휴식 기간이 없었기 때문에 이번에 휴가를 길게 줬다. 그 결과 잘 쉬어서 선수들의 경기력이 더 좋아진 것 같다.

- 이제 CJ와 결승에 맞붙게 됐다.
▲ CJ는 프로리그 결승에서 한번 승리한 경험이 있다. 그런데 이번 시즌은 CJ가 한층 강력해졌기 때문에 방심하지 않겠다. 선수들이 결승에 대한 부담보다는 최대한 편안한 분위기에서 연습하도록 배려할 것이다.

- 결승전 승부처를 예상해본다면
▲ 4세트에서 타우크로스가 뽑히길 바랬는데 러시아워3가 추첨됐다. 오늘 활약해준 (이)제동이를 어느 시점에 출전시키는지가 승부에 중요한 변수로 작용할 것 같다.

- CJ에서 가장 경계할 선수는
▲ 지난 위너스 리그에서 이제동 선수가 조병세 선수에게 허무하게 졌다. 그래서 이번에 다시 매치가 이루어졌으면 좋겠다. CJ에서 가장 경계할 선수는 조병세와 마재윤 선수라고 생각한다.

- 다음 라운드는 어떻게 준비할 생각인지
▲ 그림을 크게 그리고 있기 때문에 4, 5라운드에서는 다른 방식의 연습 시스템을 적용할 것이다. 마지막에 웃는 자가 승리자라는 생각으로 초심을 잃지 않고 준비할 생각이다.

- 결승전에 임하는 각오
▲ 화승이라는 그룹 이름을 더 많이 알려야 한다고 생각한다. 회사 관계자 분들이 많이 응원해주고 있기 때문에 이번에 회사를 위해서라도 반드시 우승하겠다.

- 끝으로 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 플레이오프를 준비한 열정으로 결승전 준비해서 좋은 결과 일궈냈으면 좋겠다.

Thanks for the translation.

If CJ beats Lecaf, they're basically the best true team this round. CJ has no monster players but they've been strong and steady unlike T1, Lecaf, and KTF who have many star players but have fallen here and there.

Great translation, thanks a lot.

I thought the games today were fantastic and I'm really pleased Jaedong won.

Also the strategy he used in game 4 was satisfying. I always use hydralisks myself and it's nice to see the top players consider it a decent strategy.

Yeah i really like the +1 ranged attack too, made the lurkers and hiiiidralisks so good. poor flash though, looked pretty devastated. thanks for the translations.

I've forgotten how important and great Skyhigh's snipe was for CJ. Once again the key to beat Hwaseung will be to snipe Jaedong.

I thought his name was Coach Cho? Weren't both CJ and Lecaf coaches named Cho? Weird......

Jaedong with the sick all kill. Too bad CJ is going to win the finals =D There's so many possibilities for a Jaedong snipe. Iris, Skyhigh, Much, maybe even Movie or Memory. This is going to be a sick finals.

Wow.

Jaedong is amazing. The interview is kinda disapointing though. We didnt learn that much and the answer looked almost premade, typical.
