Best, "I want to be of help to Protoss's victory"
"If I win the 1st set, I want to play Yarnc"


[image loading]


How do you feel about being the start off player for the protoss in the All Star Race battle against zerg?
- First of all, I’m glad I was picked among the players chosen for the protoss race in the All Star Race battle. Currently I’m being assessed as having weak zerg play but I want to secure a win today and help the protoss earn a victory.

You’ve once lost to July in Ever 2008 finals 3:0.
- I’ve already played July before and have memories of losing to him. I know today is just a special event but I definitely want to win and make up for that loss.

Just wondering about how many kills you’re hoping for, and if you start winning how many kills you think you can reach?
- If I start winning I definitely want an all kill (laughs). However, among the zerg players I think the strongest player is the start off player July. Therefore, my first and foremost goal is to earn a victory in the first lead off game.

If you win the first set, who are you thinking of picking as your opponent next?
- If I win the first set, I want to play Yarnc. I don’t think I will pick Luxury or Savior. This is because I have never had an official game broadcasted against Yarnc.

Last words for your fans?
- Just as this match is a matter of pride for our race, I want to be of help to the protoss. And just as this is a special event, I want to play entertaining games.

Original korean interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 올스타 종족 최강전 프로토스 대표로 저그전 선봉 출전 소감은
▲ 일단 올스타 종족 최강전에 프로토스 종족의 대표 가운데 한 명으로 뽑혀서 기분이 좋다. 내가 저그전이 약하다고 평가 받고 있지만 오늘 꼭 이겨서 프로토스 종족의 승리에 도움이 되고 싶다.

- 저그 선봉 박성준에게 에버 2008 결승전 0:3 패배를 당했었는데
▲ (박)성준이 형이랑은 이미 게임을 해봤고 졌던 기억이 있다. 오늘 비록 이벤트전이긴 하지만 반드시 이겨서 그때의 패배를 꼭 만회하고 싶다.

- 오늘 경기는 몇 킬을 예상하고 있는지, 혹시 바람이 있다면 몇 킬 인지
▲ 바람은 당연히 올킬이다(웃음). 하지만 상대인 저그 종족 중에 선봉이 가장 강하다고 생각하는 성준이 형이다. 그렇기 때문에 우선은 선봉전에서 승리를 거두는 것이 일차 목표다.

- 첫 세트를 승리한다면 다음 출전 선수로 누굴 지명할 생각인지
▲ 1세트를 승리한다면 아마 박명수 선수와 경기하고 싶다. 박찬수 선수나 마재윤 선수는 제외할 것 같다. 왜냐하면 박명수 선수와는 방송경기에서 게임을 해본 경험이 없다.

- 마지막으로 팬들에게 각오 한마디
▲ 오늘 경기가 종족간의 자존심을 걸고 하는 경기 인만큼 꼭 프로토스에게 도움이 되고 싶다. 그리고 이벤트전의 성격이 있는 대회인 만큼 재미있는 게임하고 싶다.

Poll: Does Smix deserve a star or an icon change?
(Vote): Yes! His translations are very fast.
(Vote): Let's wait for the long run, then give him a star or whatever.
(Vote): No, not yet, he's got a long way to go. ^^

I've always liked best, he is a toss I can support without being a bisu fanboy.

Awesome translation.
