Group 7 Winner (P)Kal

(P)Kal, "This season, just like the other seasons, my goal is to try and win the whole thing"
"I think I'm even happier because I won a difficult game"

[image loading]


This is your 5th time qualifying for the MSL.
- I think I’m happier about the fact that I won a tough game. The game was so difficult that I was even considering giving up halfway through but since I won, I’m incredibly happy.

From the start you ended up giving up your nexus at your nat.
- Early in the game, my initial forces were supposed to lower the tank count or do at least some amount of harm. However, I wasn’t able to do any harm and ended up losing my units instead. I knew a timing rush would arrive but because I lost my units so quickly I couldn’t do anything about it.

In the mid-game, (T)FrOzean established a contain line and you were in danger.
Though I was in a lot of danger, as we continued to fight I just waited for my arbiters to come out. But once I had 2 control groups, I was too impatient to wait for the arbiter so I headed out and ended up losing all my units. If I had waited a bit longer and fought with the arbiter, I'm sure the game would have played out smoother, so that aspect was disappointing. I saw with my observer that he didn’t have much forces and because his vultures kept hitting my zealots, in the heat of the moment I decided to fight.

When did you feel you had won?
- Until the end, I wasn’t sure I would win. Though my recalls did get through, my resources were falling, and I predicted my opponent would have a lot of units. However after I had about 3 successful recalls, I started to feel the game tilt in my favor.

After you achieved runner-up in your debut season in the MSL, you haven’t reached the finals.
- I’ve now had a long enough career where I should have reached the finals more. But things just aren’t working out. After I became runner-up in my first MSL season, I thought I would quickly reach the finals again but it didn’t happen as I thought. This season, I really want to work hard so that I can reach the finals.

Since May, your results are largely dropping and are inconsistent.
- If you keep winning, as you win you start reaching a momentum. But once you have one loss, people around you start saying your morale sucks and you start paying attention to that, and then it gets harder to play properly. Once you start focusing on what other people say, even games you should be winning don’t play out the way you want. I will work hard in order to ignore these matters and play without pressure.

Your goal for this season?
- This season, just like the other seasons, my goal is to try and win the whole thing. Personally, the maps chosen this time are maps I like so I feel my games should go the way I want.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 다섯 시즌 연속 MSL에 진출했는데
▲ 힘든 경기를 이겨서 더 좋은 것 같다. 경기가 힘들어서 중간에 포기하고 싶은 적도 있었는데 다행히 이기게 돼서 기분 좋다.

- 초반부터 앞마당 넥서스를 내주면서 출발했는데
▲ 초반 압박 병력이 원래 탱크들을 줄이거나 피해를 줘야 하는 것이다. 그런데 나는 피해를 주지 못하고 유닛을 잃고 말았다. 타이밍 러시를 올 줄은 알았지만 내 병력을 잃는 바람에 막을 방법이 없었다.

- 중반에 조이기 라인을 당하면서 굉장히 불리했는데
▲ 굉장히 불리했지만 계속해서 소모전을 하면서 아비터가 추가 되기를 기다렸다. 그런데 유닛을 2부대 정도 모아놓고서 아비터를 참지 못하고 공격 가는 바람에 그냥 잃고 말았다. 참고서 아비터와 함께 싸웠다면 경기를 더 쉽게 풀어갈 수 있었는데 그 점이 아쉽다. 옵저버로 병력을 확인해보니 유닛도 적었고, 벌쳐가 내 질럿을 때리길래 한번 붙어보자고 발끈한 것이 화근이다.

- 승리를 예감한 시점은
▲ 끝까지 이길 줄 몰랐다. 리콜이 들어가긴 했지만 나도 자원이 마르기 시작했고, 상대가 유닛이 많을 것으로 예상했다. 그런데 이후에 리콜을 3번 정도 성공시키고 나서 경기가 기울었다고 느꼈다.

- MSL 데뷔 시즌 준우승 이후 결승전을 못 갔는데
▲ 이제 결승전에 가고도 남았을 경력이다. 그런데 잘 안 풀렸다. 첫 시즌 준우승을 차지하고 나서 금방 다시 결승에 갈 줄 알았는데 생각처럼 되지 않더라. 이번 시즌은 정말 열심히 해서 다시 결승에 갈 수 있도록 노력하겠다.

- 5월 들어 성적이 다소 부진하고 기복이 심한데
▲ 승리를 계속하면 이기게 되면서 기세를 타게 된다. 그런데 한번 패하고 나면 주변에서 분위기가 좋지 않다는 이야기가 나오게 되고, 거기에 신경을 쓰면서 경기가 더 안 풀리는 것 같다. 그런 말들에 신경을 쓰면 잘될 경기도 안 되는 것 같다. 최대한 그런 부분에 신경을 쓰지 않고 부담 없이 경기에 임하려고 노력하고 있다.

- 이번 시즌 목표는
▲ 이번 시즌에도 변함없이 우승에 도전할 생각이다. 개인적으로는 내가 좋아하는 맵들이 사용되기 때문에 잘 풀릴 것 같다.





Group 8 Winner (Z)Jaedong

(Z)Jaedong, "My goal is to win both individual leagues"
"I want to do well in all leagues"

[image loading]


Including your 5 past seasons, this is your 6th time qualifying for the MSL.
- When I lost my first match in the MST, I felt that was critical. Instead of solely thinking that I must advance, I came here telling myself that even if I lost, I should look at it in a positive light.
However, because I was able to win and qualify for both leagues I’m very happy, and I want to show great performances in both leagues.

Your opponent in the final match was (T)GanZi, whom you lost to 3 weeks ago.
- In general, I got the feeling he prepared for the match very well. It seemed like he predicted what zerg would do and counter in advance accordingly. So I also put in a lot of effort to catch my opponent off guard and to play mind games. I think it’s because of these things I was able to easily gain an advantage in the game.

Was the direction of your overlord scouting influenced by (T)HiyA’s proxy barracks?
- That was also a factor, but I did it in order to prepare for whatever build terran came up with.

In the losers match, in order to escape the corsair your overlords were lumped together as they moved.
- Once I noticed my opponent was getting a lot of corsairs, I massed overlords together to 1) fake a drop, and 2) protect them against corsairs. Surprisingly, I lost less overlords than I thought so the game played out better than I expected. Though it wasn’t on purpose, the result was great.

Your winning streak in May is continuing.
- Lately, because I’m winning whenever I play, my confidence is building. Honestly, it’s true that I was beginning to doubt myself when I started to slump a bit before. Up until now, I’ve been relying too much purely on my skills and been too easy on myself, but recently as I’ve been gaining wins, I believe I’ve regained the confidence I’ve had in the past. There’s a lot of leagues coming up so I’ll become very busy, but I will work my utmost hardest never to show a slumping state again.

While watching the matches, you looked extremely tired.
- Lately my health hasn't been so great. Whenever I blinked, my eyes would sting so I went to the doctor today. Because the symptoms aren’t that bad, I’m just using eyedrops and eating medicine to take care of them. My condition is okay.

On Saturday, I heard you have a large fan meeting where there will be 200 participants.
- Since this is my personal fan meeting, I was thinking I should prepare something for them. I just wish I can have a pleasant time with my fans. No matter what I end up doing, I will prepare my hardest for when I actually show the fans.

What is your goal for this season?
- My goal is to win both individual leagues. When I won the Batoo OSL, I kept being told that because of the OSL jinx, the winner would end up not doing well. But I want to prove that I’m different from other players, and because I didn’t want to show slumping performances after I won, I made victory my goal once again.

Last words you want to say?
- On Saturday I will be holding my personal fan meeting, so I just want to say I will prepare my hardest for you guys, and I hope that I will be able to spend a pleasant time with all of you who come.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 다섯 시즌 연속, 통산 6번째 MSL 진출인데
▲ 서바이버 토너먼트 첫 경기를 지면서 고비라고 생각했다. 오늘 무조건 올라간다는 마음가짐 보다는 혹시 탈락을 하더라도 긍정적인 마음 가짐을 먹자고 다짐했다.
그런데 이렇게 승리를 거두고 양대리그가 돼서 기쁘고, 모든 리그에서 좋은 활약을 하고 싶다는 생각이 든다.

- 최종전 상대가 3주전 패배를 안긴 김동주였는데
▲ 전체적으로 판을 잘 짜온 것 같다는 느낌을 받았다. 저그가 뭘 할지를 알고 그에 앞서서 대처를 하면서 게임을 하는 것 같다. 그래서 나도 상대의 허를 찌르려고 노력을 많이 했고, 심리전을 걸면서 경기를 풀어갔다. 덕분에 쉽게 이득을 본 것 같다.

- 초반에 오버로드 정찰은 구성훈의 전진 배럭 영향인지
▲ 그런 부분도 있지만 테란의 모든 ‘날빌’에 지지 않기 위한 출발이었다.

- 패자전에서 커세어를 피해서 오버로드를 잘 뭉쳐 다니던데
▲ 상대가 커세어를 모으길래 오버로드로 드랍하는 척 페이크를 함과 동시에 커세어로부터 보호하는 것이다. 생각 외로 오버로드가 많이 안 잡혀서 경기가 더 잘 풀렸다. 의도한 것은 아닌데 좋은 결과가 나왔다.

- 5월 전승 행진이 계속되고 있는데
▲ 요즘에는 경기가 있을 때 계속 승리를 거두다 보니 자신감도 쌓이는 것 같다. 약간의 하락세를 겪으면서 내 자신에 대한 의심을 가졌던 것도 사실이다. 그 동안 안이하게 대처하고 실력에만 의지한 것이 사실인데 최근에 승리를 거듭하면서 예전의 자신감도 되찾은 것 같다. 앞으로 리그가 굉장히 많아서 바빠질 것 같은데 그래도 매 경기 최선을 다해 준비해서 더 이상 뒤쳐지는 모습은 보여드리지 않겠다.

- 경기 중에 비친 모습이 굉장히 피곤해 보이던데
▲ 요즘 몸이 너무 좋지 않다. 눈을 깜빡일 때마다 따끔거려서 오늘도 병원에 다녀왔다. 그렇게 큰 증상은 아니라 안약 넣고 약 먹으면서 치료하는 중이다. 컨디션은 괜찮다.

- 토요일에 200명이 참가하는 대규모 팬 미팅이 있다던데
▲ 아무래도 내 개인적인 팬 미팅이다 보니 뭔가를 준비해야겠다는 생각은 하고 있었다. 그냥 팬 여러분들과 좋은 시간을 가졌으면 좋겠다. 뭐가 됐건 최선을 다해 준비해서 보여드리겠다.

- 이번 시즌 목표가 있다면
▲ 목표는 양대리그 우승이다. 바투 스타리그를 우승했을 때부터 우승자가 다음 시즌에는 징크스를 겪으면서 하락세로 이어지는 것이 당연시 되더라. 하지만 나는 조금 다르다는 것을 증명하고 싶고, 우승한 이후에 부진한 모습을 보여드리고 싶지 않아서 목표를 우승으로 잡았다.

- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 토요일에 개인 팬 미팅을 갖게 되는데 최선을 다해서 준비를 열심히 할 것이고, 오시는 분들 모두 함께 즐거운 시간 가졌으면 좋겠다.

To me Jaedong looked tired all the time. And from this interview it sounds like he's not getting enough sleep. I hope he gets more sleep, or better sleep soon. Cause really, I have problems with sleeping too and it's not fun.

I still love how Jaedong's standards for a slump is 3 losses. I mean seriously, does anyone else in the world have standards that high?

Also, qualifying for the MSL while sick? Good on ya Jaedong.

Jaedong is a starcraft monk. I'm not really surprised he has health problems. I'm quite sure he is one of the most serious pro-gamers. Everything alway seems perfectly prepared.

Thanks a lot for the fast translations.

Apparently Jaedong has big plans for winning both leagues this summer. I don't think he's going to last that long in both the OSL/MSL while maintaining good results in PL. And he's still in GOM. It's going to be interesting.

Thanks for the translation.

Interesting to see now well Jeadong can fight against the OSL curse. Look at Stork, his play had been trash after his OSL win.

Go Jaedong! <3

I do believe JD can win all three individual leagues (including GOM). Luxury got to the semi-finals and Jaedong >>>> Luxury.

Jaedong is the next bonjwa!

Thanks, hopefully JD starts putting his health in top priority though, he won't be winning any starleagues if he's sick.
