SPOILERS FOR TODAY'S HWASEUNG VS CJ!



















Basically this is some pre-match interview with the A-Team members of SK Telecom T1 to share their thoughts on Hwaseung's advancement into the Grand Finals, as well as declaring their intents to win.


SK Telecom T1 A-team: "We will make sure we win."

[image loading]


▲ (Z)MuMyung Coach: I can think of nothing else but the thought that we have to win at all costs.
Jaedong is a really good player, and I am also a player who praises other players well. When I became the coach of this team, I used Jaedong as a benchmark for many things. I also make my players watch his VODs, even if I have to force them to do it. Jaedong is a player whom I can't stop praising enough, but our team has Bisu, BeSt, Fantasy, Canata as well as many other players who don't fall behind Jaedong.
Lastly, I am aware that there are many who are worrying about how active our Zerg line up will play a role in the Grand Finals. 'Do-Taek-Myung' (TN: BeSt, Bisu and Fantasy trio) and Canata are doing well but I believe that if the SKT1 Zerg line up bucks up a bit more, we will be able to take the win with much more ease.

▲ (T)iloveoov player-coach: Hwaseung's win does not contribute to the development of e-sports at all. For the sake of the development of e-sports, SK Telecom T1 will definitely win.

▲ (T)BoxeR: As I watched Hwaseung face off against CJ today in day 2, I felt that they were lacking in terms of strategy. That is why, just in case, I will think of all possible factors that may be a hindrance to our goal of raising the winning cup and make sure SK Telecom T1 wins.

▲ (T)fantasy: After we secured our number 1 spot, I thought, 'we still have a lot of time'. But now that the Grand Finals is just around the corner, I am starting to feel nervous. The Grand Finals is taking place in my hometown Pusan, so I will make sure that I put on a good performance. I watched the last Proleague Grand Finals' VODs and I realised that all the Pusan boys such as Samsung Khan's Jangbi or Hite (then OnGameNet) Sparkyz's Leta won their games. That is why I somehow feel that I too will win.
Exactly 3 years ago, when SK Telecom T1 won the Grand Finals, I was active as a practice partner. Back then, I helped all the Pusan players with practice and when they won, I couldn't help but feel content and proud. Now that I am in the team, I want to help lead my team into victory.

▲ (T)Canata: I thought that we would be facing CJ. But things tipped to Hwaseung's favor when it got to the final ace match and Jaedong was sent out. CJ has a better player balance overall but Hwaseung, with its super ace card, advanced instead. However, our team has a super ace card as well, and I believe that our team's player balance is much better than Hwaseung's. That is why if we get to play the final ace match, we believe that we'll still win in the end.
If I get sent out, regardless of whether I face Jaedong or any other player, I will be able to perform better as I have experience playing in the Grand Finals, and even if I don't get sent out, I will make use of my experience to help other players and contribute to our team's victory.

▲ (T)Mong: If I get sent out, I will practice hard to win. Even if I don't get sent out, I will help by helping other players with practice.

▲ (Z)Hyuk: I have gained a lot of confidence as I prepared for the Grand Finals. If I am given the chance to play, I feel that I will definitely be able to win. I want to face against Jaedong out of all the Hwaseung players. I will prepare as I await my match against Jaedong.

▲ (Z)Thezerg: I felt that Hwaseung will advance, and they did. Jaedong plays well, but strategy and tactic-wise, it's easier to face Hwaseung than CJ. From our team's point of view, we are glad to be in such a good situation. If I get sent out, I want to win a game and contribute to the team's win.

▲ (Z)s2: I am not certain on being sent out but if I do, I will do my best to defeat my opponent at all costs.

▲ (Z)n.Die_soO: I will not lose regardless of who I face.

▲ (P)BeSt: This is the first Grand Finals since my entry into the team. I am very happy to be able to play at Gwang-an-ri, and if I get to play on stage, I want to win and contribute to the team.
Our team ranked first place in the overall season while Hwaseung ranked second. The Grand Finals will be the same.

"SK Telecom T1 = e-sports" according to oov I guess. About as cocky of an answer as they come.

Why do you say that? because he wasn't interviewed?

If it ever does get to that stage *touches wood* it'll probably be JD vs Fantasy, something tells me it won't be bisu even though i really want it to be.

It seems the coach is rather focused on JD though, making everyone watch his vods, he's definitely a threat.

Btw thanks for the translation

SKT is like the Yankees of Starcraft. Loaded and buying players as they come. I hope Oz can pull an upset.

Did Bisu die or have some case of rare massive explosive unstoppable diarrhea that hindered him from being interviewed?
