+ Show Spoiler [Group 3 Winner] +

Much: "I will show my hard-working self."
"I lost many games so I felt very frustrated, so I am glad that I won and qualified."


[image loading]


"Uncle Toss" (P)Much has successfully qualified for his 4th consecutive MSL after defeating Woongjin's (Z)Child and SKT1's (Z)Rumble.

The following is the interview with Much.

- Your thoughts on your 4th consecutive MSL qualification.
▲ I'm just happy. I lost many games recently so I felt very frustrated, so I am glad that I won and qualified.

- In the Losers' Match, you faced many dangerous moments because of your opponent's ultralisks and defilers.
▲ The Zerg made that army by squeezing out all he could from 3 gas so I was shocked (when I saw the army). But my opponent lost quite a lot of units so I was able to win.

- In the final match, you lost your expansion due to your opponent's all-in attack.
▲ I scouted the zerg's mineral-only expansion but there was no hatchery there so I felt something was amiss. But I was taken aback when I saw my opponent suddenly mining the minerals (at the ramp). But after I defended that well, I let my guard down and lost my expansion.

- After you lost your nexus, your opponent almost broke through your defense.
▲ I was able to defend with my probe micro. I realised it was an all-in attack after I kill his 1 drone. That is why I knew that if I defended well, I would be able to win.

- Your greatest achievement in the MSL is getting into the semifinals. What is your target for this season?
▲ I have to work hard. Rather than revealing my target through interviews, I would just show my hard-working self.

- While you were slumping, (P)Movie played his role well.
▲ Whenever there is a competitor in the same team, you have to feel the competitiveness, but I was simply proud seeing Movie do so well. I think it is because I like him a lot. From now on, I want to work well with Movie.

- Anything you wish to specially say?
▲ (Z)Devil helped me a lot with practice, and even accompanied me to my match today. When I return, I will treat him to something delicious. On the other hand, no matter how much I asked (Z)Hydra, he wouldn't help me with practice and he only practiced with the B-Team players. I will definitely get my revenge later (laughs).
Also, tomorrow is Parents' Day, but I can't even go back home to see them. I am thankful towards my parents, and I want to tell them that I love them.


+ Show Spoiler [Group 4 Winner] +

Flash: "I want to concentrate on my matches until I finally win this MSL."
"I will work hard to at least make it into the semifinals this season."


[image loading]


Your feelings on making it into the MSL for the 6th straight season.
- Though I’ve reached the MSL 6 times, up until now the furthest I got was once reaching the Round of 4 which is disappointing. This season, I will work hard so that I can definitely make it past the round of 4.

Was vulture harass today’s concept?
- Vulture harass was my concept but I didn’t expect my opponent to go all-in. Luckily, I was able to spot zerglings from the 9 o'clock expo and I was able to counter relatively easily.

It seemed the 3 bunkers were the core of your defense.
- It was an in the moment defensive play. Because I felt that if I just held him off I would be able to win, I built 3 bunkers and because my opponent attacked me as I anticipated, I was able to win.

Is there any trouble you face while dealing with the proleague and your own schedule?
- In the past Winners League because of the format and many situations where I had to complete all-kills by myself, it was difficult. However, this season even if I play a lot it only amounts to two games so it doesn’t really matter.

In the selection is there a particular player you wish were in your group?
- Now there aren’t players like that anymore. Without special concern as to who I’m playing, I just want to quietly advance to the top.

You once lost your chance at winning both leagues so this time your desire to win the MSL must be even greater.
- I was so close to winning a MSL and disappointingly dropped out. This season, I want to resurrect the same feeling I had in the past when I was able to win the OSL and quietly advance in both the OSL and MSL, and by gaining another victory I want to feel that emotion again.

What do you mean by quietly advancing?
- In the past I used to name players I wanted to play but this time until I win the entire thing I want to focus solely on the game. I don’t want to challenge anyone specifically, and I don’t want to get distracted.

Last words you want to say?
- Tomorrow is father’s day. Recently, because I’ve been losing a lot my parents have been worried about me. In contrast to their worrying, there are no problems with my game play, and my health is fine as well. I hope that today’s win can be a gift to my parents for Father’s day.

Konadora!!! Because I seriously love Flash so much I decided to do his interview if you haven't finished yet!

I couldn't sleep so I ended up waking up to find that Flash had won ehehe <3

I love Much - when I did a photoshoot with him he was really calm and quiet, but he laughed a lot when I was speaking some English and asked 'Slow, slow.' I was super polite with him because he's one of those players who just kind of commands a form of consideration (eventhough he's only one year old than me.) CJ has some of the nicest and most professional players in terms of doing photoshoots I've ever met.

Flash in the MSL and OSL again? I don't like it....I hope he'll be able to find enough time to practice for both leagues, or at least make the decision to prioritize one over the other.
