You are about to face your second OSL final.
-Yes, last time I regrettably lost Stork hyung, and I was very disappointed. I won’t miss the chance this time.
Jaedong has been performing very well recently.
-I know that this will be my biggest challenge since I started, Jaedong is indeed very strong, but I believe I can defeat him. If I can realize this, I believe my professional career will take a step forward.
After you eliminated Luxury in the OSL, you lost to him in the SWL.
-I don’t think the SWL loss has much influence on me. Honestly, I’m very confident in my TvZ right now.
iloveoov gave you a lot of help.
-Yes, he has been helping me design strategies for the OSL final. I also changed and improved a lot of current strategies.
Some players have complained that the map pool is unfair.
-No matter the quality of the maps, I will try to perform well. There are some maps that aren’t really suited to my style, so I’m trying to improve my adaptability.
You have a losing record against Jaedong.
-This is, to me, part of the pressure. But I’m more willing to view this as my greatest motivator to win.
Jaedong has used Queens very effectively before.
-At the time, I was indeed very surprised, because I didn’t prepare for it. I won’t make the same mistake this time, my coaches helped me prepare a lot of anti-Queen strategies.
You carry Bisu’s hopes also.
-After the semifinals, we ate together. He told me that I had to win, otherwise he’ll never take me out to eat again. [laugh] He recently got some award money. (T/N: Referring PvT All-Stars)
What do you want to say to your opponent the most?
-You are a great player, and very strong, but I will still defeat you and win. I hope we can go out to eat together after the game.
Unfortunately, your team lost in the SWL.
-True, that’s another one of my motivators. I don’t want the team to go without a champion. This is great team. And in future SPLs, I will win more games.
To the fans?
-I am the champion!
You’re almost at the OSL final against Fantasy.
-Yes, since I lost to ForGG in the last finals, it’s been too long since I’ve gone without a championship. I’ve been waiting a long time for this day.
This will be a difficult final.
-To me, every single game needs careful preparation, but never really difficult. I’ve won [against Fantasy] before.
Fantasy defeated a favorite to win the championship, Bisu, 3:0. He also displayed strong tactics against Luxury.
-Fantasy’s a very good player, and his tactics change a lot, but I think I have an advantage against this type of player.
So you’re saying you’re not afraid of any kind of harassment or strategies?
-Yes.
If you win this OSL, it will be your second time.
-When I saw the moment that July held up his Golden Mouse, I was deeply moved. I strongly hope to raise up the Golden Mouse like him.
What’s your relationship with July?
-I’ve met him a few times before games, he gives off an air of openness. I’m always really shy around him.
Compared to your expressions during games, it’s hard to imagine you being shy.
-It’s not hard, really. [big laugh]
Everyone thought it was a pity that ForGG changed teams.
-I don’t want to talk too much about this, and we already proved ourselves…(T/N: Referring to Oz winning over KTF)
Rumor has it that he left because of internal conflicts in the team.
-He and I are people who don’t talk much. I don’t know the details. I support all decisions made by the coaches.
To the fans?
-I will work hard towards the next Golden Mouse, thank you for your support, thank you!

that is, the OZ head coach loves Jaedong so much that he'd sacrifice Anytime and ForGG for him.

JD talking big for a guy who he has fought only once.
At least Stork knew the dangers of Oov strategies.
Fantasy knows he doesn't have the mechanics to match JD, but his tactics and map abuse should at least give JD pause.
|
Jaedong is so freaking intense. His confidence is unreal. I think anybody who does anything in life with that much genuine ambition can succeed. I feel like I let games slip all of the time just because I am not as confident as I should be. I hope he wins because Fantasy is probably the ugliest player I have ever seen in progaming. He looks like he continually has the flu while playing. Zerg power.

yep, i like the coach but that is his major flaw. nurtures the player that plays well and doesnt give a shit about the rest
which is why teams like cj/skt who have multitudes of talent do so well

^^ Thats a bit harsh on fantasy. he does looks kind of frail though. thanks for the translation and yeah, Jaedong seems so damn confident all the time, that's such an important trait in progaming imo

I'm thinking Bisu said this.

Please, Jaedong win, please, please!

Jaedong is a fucking beast, I'm going to be so shocked if he loses just because his confidence in his interviews is so unreal.

Hey, isn't this supposed to be an April Fool's joke? I don't know what is real now...

He looks like he doesn't eat enough anyway. What a rake.

Can somebody close this thread please?
I believe that this is a FAKE interview made up by the Chinese as an April Fool's joke.
|
lol what kind of april fools joke is this?
|
Why does Oz coach get such a bad rep? I guess he does favor Jaedong but I don't get all the criticism. I thought Anytime just went to the army and after reading this article http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=82722
I don't think any different. The only thing that seems is BackHo is too stubborn to take adivce when Anytime was owning him and maybe ForGG having some animosity towards Jaedong. Seems coach was being flexible letting Anytime have longer breaks and shows interest in team harmony when he thought Jaedong and ForGG were fighting. It appears forGG and BackHo are the problems but it's just one interview. Anyone got links to show otherwise?

I think Fantasy will continue the SKT1 tradition of having the most entertaining to watch players. If he manages to pull off something BoxeR-esque, he will become my new favourite player. (fingers crossed for Fantasy builds, bunker rushes, nukes)

Seems legitimate, but I can't find the interview in Fomos.

Yea, the interview does seem really legit but I don't think it was posted on fomos... I should've seen it.

Dude it's already April 2 in the East Coast....~_~
Well if this is indeed a genuine interview, Fantasy has a lot of confidence heading into the finals.
And I think that the Koreans had it the other way around, they favor Fantasy for this finals. It's so in contradiction with the poll here.
