Your feelings on returning to the MSL? - There was a part of the game where I could have easily gained an advantage but because I let that chance go I’m a bit disappointed… however because I won, I’m happy.
Because of your opponent’s wraiths, you lost a large number of drones. - When Lomo first harassed my drones, I was fine with it. But after my hydralisk attack failed, I lost so many drones to his wraiths that it became a dire situation. I thought my hydralisks were strong but that wasn’t true. Next time I’ll make sure to make sure to make spore colonies.
When did you feel you had won? - Towards the end of the game when my opponent attacked me for the last time, once I was able to kill all his units with mutalisk control, I finally thought I had control of the game.
Your mindset for this season? - Because I believe I will have to work harder than last time in order to advance further than I did last time, I will work harder.
How are you practicing? - Yesterday I had a proleague match, and afterwards I practiced mainly against terran and I think that was key in my win. I heard that Carthage 2 was a terran favored map, and because of this I anticipated that I would end up playing against Lomo so I practiced mainly against terran.
Last words you want to say? - Yesterday, I lost to Hyuk in the proleague match. Right now everyone is turning their focus onto the fact that Hyuk won because his 4 scourge killed my 2 mutalisks, but I wanted to say that I lost so easily because of my own mistakes as well. I was supposed to make an overlord with one of my larva but I made a drone instead so there was an error in my population number. I think I lost because of that. If there’s an opportunity, I want to play Hyuk again and through hard practice show that I won't be run over, and that there is a difference in skill level between us. I noticed that in fomos articles when I win, they say that it’s because my opponent made a mistake, and when I lose, they say it’s because my opponent played well. I feel a bit upset because of that (laughs). I hope in the future they will focus on what I did well more. Also, tomorrow is teacher’s day, and I want to give CJ’s director, coach, and company workers my MSL qualification as a gift.
Original Korean Interview: + Show Spoiler + - MSL 복귀 소감 ▲ 충분히 유리하게 할 수 있는 상황이 있었는데 그런 것을 다 놓친 것 같아서 아쉬운 마음이 들지만 이겨서 기분 좋다.
- 상대의 레이스에 의해 드론을 다수 잃었다. ▲ 첫 번째로 드론이 잡혔을 때까지는 괜찮았다. 이후 히드라리스크 공격이 실패하고 레이스에 의해 드론이 너무 많이 잡혀서 참담했다. 나는 내 히드라리스크가 쌘 줄 알았는데 아니더라. 다음에는 스포어 콜로니를 건설해야겠다.
- 승리를 예감한 순간은 ▲ 마지막에 상대의 진출 병력을 뮤탈리스크 컨트롤로 다 잡아냈을 때 이제 할만하다고 생각했다.
- 이번 시즌에 임하는 각오 ▲ 지금 하고 있는 것보다 더 열심히 해야 저번보다 더 높이 올라갈 수 있다고 생각하고 있으니까 더 열심히 하겠다.
- 연습은 어떻게 했는지 ▲ 어제가 프로리그라서 테란전 위주로 연습을 했는데 그게 적중한 것 같다. 카르타고2가 테란이 좋다고 하더라. 그래서 테란이 올라올 것을 예상하고 테란전을 연습했다.
- 끝으로 하고 싶은 말은 ▲ 어제 프로리그에서 박재혁 선수에게 졌다. 경기에 대한 초점이 다 박재혁 선수가 스커지 4마리로 내 뮤탈리스크 2마리를 잡은 것에 맞추어져 있는데 내가 실수를 해서 쉽게 진 것도 있다는 말을 하고 싶었다. 라바 하나를 오버로드에 써야 하는데 드론에 사용해서 인구수 계산에 문제가 생겼다. 그것 때문에 진 것 같다. 기회가 된다면 박재혁 선수와 다시 해서 연습으로는 극복이 안 되는 실력차이가 있다는 것을 보여주고 싶다. 포모스 평점에 내가 이기면 상대가 실수를 했다는 얘기가 많고 내가 지면 상대가 잘했다고 하더라. 그 부분이 좀 서운하다(웃음). 앞으로는 내가 잘한 부분에도 좀 초점을 맞춰주셨으면 좋겠다. 그리고 내일이 스승의 날인데 감독님 코치님, 그리고 회사 분들께 오늘 MSL 진출을 선물로 드리고 싶다. .
Group 10 Winner Horang2 Horang2, "I shake everytime I use a risky strategy""I come up with strategies so I can win"
You qualified for your 2nd straight MSL. - Although this is my 2nd qualification, just as I did when I qualified the first time, I thought I’d die because I was shaking so much. Because I used such a nerve-wracking strategy, my hands are still shaking.
Your strategy was impressive. - I thought my opponent’s SCV saw everything so I was nervous but thankfully enough, I wasn’t caught. When I started out at the 5 of clock spot, I hardly lost, but when I was at the 11 o clock spot and my opponent was at 5 o clock, my stats weren’t that great.
Was showing your proxy gate and citadel of adun part of your strategy? - I didn’t care if my citadel was seen. It was a strategy that would’ve worked as long as the gateway in my opponent’s main wasn’t caught. When I saw that my opponent was being aggressive with his marines, I thought if I also did a cannon rush my opponent would make not just marines but vultures as well, so I decided to go for the cannon rush too.
You definitely seem to prefer being strategic. - Although I’ve depended on my strategies many times now, each time I shake so much I don’t think I can do it anymore (laughs). I just keep thinking of strategies, and they all seemed okay so I used them in order to win.
Your mindset for this season? - This time, in order to get rid of the impression of “if I just block this player’s strategy I will win”, I will thoroughly work on not just strategy, but my management as well and show good performances.
I’m curious as to what your teammates say when they see you using these strategies. - My teammates told me I'm definitely something. In my proleague match against Movie, I was fortunate enough to use this strategy and it worked.
Last words you want to say? - I want to say thank you to CJ’s BByong, Woongjin’s MVP, and my terran teammates for helping me practice. My terran teammates must have been really irritated while helping me but they really helped me so much.
Original Korean Interview: + Show Spoiler + - 2회 연속 MSL 진출에 성공했는데 ▲ 이번이 두 번째 진출인데 첫 MSL때처럼 많이 긴장되고 떨려서 혼났다(웃음). 너무 살 떨리는 전략을 사용했더니 지금도 손이 떨린다.
- 전략이 굉장히 좋았다. ▲ 상대가 SCV 정찰을 해서 발견되는 줄 알고 뜨끔했는데 다행히도 발견이 안됐다. 내가 5시 지역에 있을 때는 거의 패하지 않았는데 내가 11시고 상대가 5시일 때는 승률이 그렇게 좋지 않았다.
- 자신의 본진 게이트와 아둔을 보여주는 것도 전략에 포함되어 있었나 ▲ 아둔은 들켜도 상관없었다. 상대 본진에 건설한 게이트만 발각되지 않으면 성공하는 전략이었다. 상대가 마린을 공격적으로 사용하는 것을 보고 캐논 러시까지 하면 마린 뿐만 아니라 벌처까지 봉쇄할 수 있을 것 같아서 캐논을 건설했다.
- 전략을 굉장히 선호하는데 ▲ 전략을 매번 사용하지만 그때마다 떨려서 정말 못하겠다(웃음). 그냥 전략이 계속 떠오르는데 다 괜찮아서 이기기 위해서 사용하는 것이다.
- 이번 시즌에 임하는 각오 ▲ 이번에는 꼭 ‘저 선수는 전략만 막으며 이길 수 있다’는 생각을 없앨 수 있도록 전략과 더불어 운영 준비도 철저히 해서 좋은 모습 보여주겠다.
- 전략을 사용하는 본인을 보고 팀원들은 뭐라고 하는지 궁금하다. ▲ 팀원들이 나는 되는 놈이라고 말한다. 진영화 선수와의 프로리그 경기에서도 운에 맡기고 사용한 건데 통했다.
- 끝으로 하고 싶은 말은 ▲ 연습을 도와준 CJ의 정우용 선수와 웅진의 정종현 선수 그리고 우리 팀 테란들에게 고맙다는 말을 전하고 싶다. 우리 팀 테란들이 연습 도와주느라 정말 짜증났을 텐데 잘 도와줬다.
I was going to save my 1000th post and make a blog once my pony shirt arrived but Kwanro!!! and Horang2!!!! Hahaha 
I love how Kwanro basically said he's a much better player than Hyuk. And lol at fomos reporters not pointing out Kwanro's skills.
Horang2 and his uncontrollable shaking... For those of you who didn't know, koreans call him 4차원 토스 which means literally, 4th dimension protoss, because he's weird haha. Gotta love the kid for coming up with so many strats. Also - I like how he didn't practice for ZergBong at all hahaha... poor 27 year old with 27.27 win rate =l
Not perfect -- feedback welcome and encouraged!

with the quickness :O
ty for translating!

Holly crap that is one fast interview translation.
Love your work Smix 
1000th post! I one day hope to have that many, thanks again for the effort you put in

Kwanro seems so clueless:
''I thought my hydralisks were strong but that wasn’t true''
''I was supposed to make an overlord with one of my larva but I made a drone instead''
''I lost so easily because of my own mistakes''
''I heard that Carthage 2 was a terran favored map''
''I could have easily gained an advantage but because I let that chance go I’m a bit disappointed''
|
Thanks for the translation . I can't wait to see what horang2 has to say about his game vs Light, lol.
|
Lomo threw that away .. oh my god.. that was horrible.. =(

Thanks. Lomo played bad... but at least this msl will be less of a tvt fest. Gratz to Kwanro, oh and Horang is pretty awesome with his cheesy style.
|
thanks for the translation
|
Great, thanks for the translation. Horang2 is playing pretty well, I like his style.
|
Thanks! Horang2's hands shake, huh? He needs to work on that.
|
|
thx for this thread. By the way, its funny that you posted losers also. They deserve to be here too, but these pictures and caption :-)
|
Horang2 = geromichi from Hajime no Ippo
|
|
Do korean netizens call all cheesey builds "strategic" or only particular stuff (4pool?). Do they have a derogative term like "cheese"?
|
thanks, Smix !! KWANROLLED !! -Cheers
|
Thanks for the translation.
Horang2 is notorious for his dt rushes. I remembered his proxy double gate dt rush againt flash last Msl and he is doing dt rush again this season. [note: he tried to dt rush again flash again in the proleague but got owned]
He might have some success now but he can't just depend on dt rushes to win games for him. Hopefully, he will improving other aspects of his game.
Nice to see kwanro doing some trash talking.

I thought Kwanro was gonna be the next hot programer about a year ago. Then he got raped by Bisu in MSL, GOM TV 2 or 3, can't remember atm. He's a nice kid, hopefully he'll start showing better results outside proleague aswell.
Thanks for the interviews smixy!

Yes! GJ Kwanro! CJ with a hefty 6 players in the MSL so far - if Movie can get in tomorrow then that'll make 7! Wonder what the record is for most people from a single team in the Ro32 ...
Edit: The record is apparently set at 6. SKT and Samsung have both done it once before. Here's hoping CJ can top that mark!
|
nice 2 see Horang2 advance...he's different...
|
|
Horang2 sure knows how to entertain us, kwanro vs lomo was a fun game to watch as well.
Thanks for the interview Smix!
|
I really like both these players, so thanks for the translations. Although I feel really sorry for Light; he's one of the best players who never seems to make it in the starleagues.
|
HORANGEEEEEEEEEEEE! Holy shit awesome games from both of them, I was shaking in my seat waiting for that gateway to come up.
Thanks Smix!
