I don't think anyone posted this yet even though it's been a while.. Delete if I'm wrong (tried searching)

Avalon MSL Semifinals A winner (Z)Calm:
"I thought of the things that happened until now and I began to cry"


[image loading]


-You became a finalist in a starleague for the First time in your life
▲ I'm very happy for finally becoming a finalist after four years. I Really want to win this season. I will stand at the highest place and enjoy the happiness

-It must have been hard preparing
▲ It was Really hard. First of all, my teammates, ZerO from WoongJin, and Yarnc from hite helped me as if it was their own practice. I tried to get used to Jaedong's Style and I think it worked very well.
(sidenote: lol it was his own practice for Yarnc)

-You must be dissappointed about the First game
▲ I could have won the First game but I was too nervous and made a mistake. I thought of the loss as my mistake and tried to not make a mistake for the next set.

-What did you to get rid of your nervousness?
▲ Until the game started, I talked to myself. I hypnotized myself to be play calmly (lol) in the games.

-Your Control was very good today.
▲ It was because of the advantageous situation I was in that made my Control look good. If you are a zerg progamer and were in my situation, you would have controlled as well as I did. I was in that much of a great situation.

-Your decision to upgrade in 3rd set was very good.
▲ I didn't have that many drones and couldn't timing Rush. I thought I had to Rush before my opponent started mining from Natural and gathered up a large mutalisk force. That's why I upgraded and it was right on.

-You showed some tears after you won the Last game.
▲ Most people said JD was the favorite. I thought so too, but after I won I felt very happy. The moment I won I thought of the hard practices and I began to cry.

-Who do you want to verse in the finals?
▲ I want to have a tvz so I wish Iris would win. I already had two zvz's this season so I want to do a tvz this time.

- What did you think when you won the Last game?
▲ I thought of my family. I thought of everyone who supported me or helped me.

- How determined are you about the finals?
▲ I thought of my game verses JD as if it were the finals. If I just practice the same was I think I can win with good games. I want to be the First person from my team to win an MSL.

- Any Last words?
▲ Since I tried so hard to get to the finals, I will win. I will celebrate and share the glory with my fans who have supported me all this way.

+ Show Spoiler +
- 생애 첫 개인리그 결승 진출에 성공했는데
▲ 게이머로 데뷔한 지 4년 만에 결승에 올라가서 정말 기쁘다. 이번 시즌에는 반드시 우승하고 싶다. 최고의 자리에 서서 기쁨을 마음껏 느끼겠다.

- 준비 과정이 힘들었을 것 같다
▲ 준비하면서 정말 힘들었다. 일단 우리 팀원들과 웅진의 ZerO 선수, 하이트의 YellOw[ArnC] 선수가 자기 일처럼 도와줬다. 스타일 파악을 열심히 했는데 그 부분이 적중한 것 같다.

- 1세트 패배가 아쉬울 것 같은데
▲ 1세트에서 충분히 승리할 수 있는 타이밍이 있었는데 너무 떨려서 실수를 해버렸다. 내가 실수를 해서 진 경기라는 생각으로 다음 세트는 실수하지 않기 위해 노력했다.

- 긴장을 풀기 위해 어떻게 했나
▲ 게임 시작하기 직전까지 내 자신에게 말을 걸었다. 최대한 차분하게 경기하자고 자기 최면을 걸었다.

- 오늘 컨트롤이 대단히 좋아 보였다.
▲ 오늘 같은 상황에서는 다 컨트롤이 좋아 보일 수 밖에 없다. 프로게이머 저그 유저라면 오늘 나와 같은 상황에서는 다들 컨트롤을 잘 했을 것이다. 그만큼 상황이 좋았다.

- 3세트에서 업그레이드 선택이 굉장히 좋았는데
▲ 내가 가진 드론이 별로 없었고 타이밍 러시를 노릴 수도 없는 상황이었다. 상대가 앞마당 멀티를 가져간 뒤 뮤탈리스크를 모으기 전 한 번을 노려야 한다고 생각했다. 그래서 업그레이드 자원을 투자했는데 그것이 적중했다.

- 결승 진출이 확정된 뒤 눈물을 보였다.
▲ 대부분의 사람들이 (이)제동이가 유리하다고 말했다. 나까지 그렇게 생각했는데 막상 이렇게 이기니까 정말 기분이 좋았다. 승리하는 순간 이기기 위해 열심히 준비했던 과정이 생각이 나서 눈물이 났다.

- 결승전에서 어떤 선수와 맞대결을 하고 싶은지
▲ 개인적으로 테란전을 하고 싶어서 (변)형태형이 올라왔으면 좋겠다. 이번 시즌 저그 상대로 다전제 승부를 두 번이나 했기 때문에 이번에는 테란전을 하고 싶다.

- 결승 진출이 확정되는 순간 어떤 생각이 들었는지 궁금하다.
▲ 가족들 얼굴이 많이 생각났다. 도와주신 분들이나 그동안 응원해주신 모든 분들이 다 생각났다.

- 결승전에 임하는 각오
▲ 오늘 제동이와의 경기가 결승과 다름없다는 생각으로 준비를 했다. 결승전에서도 이번처럼만 준비한다면 좋은 경기로 우승할 수 있을 것 같다. 내가 우리 팀의 첫 MSL 우승 스타트를 끊고 싶다.

- 끝으로 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 결승전에 힘들게 올라온 만큼 반드시 우승하겠다. 지금까지 응원해주신 팬들과 우승의 영광을 꼭 함께 누리겠다.

lol, even if Bisu had beaten Iris, we wouldn't have gotten a Bisu vs Jaedong finals. I guess its just not meant to be.

As much as I love Jaedong the prospect of the potentially hilarious finals this upset has produced excites me way more than seeing him take another title.

ok fine, yarnc was practicing ZvZ while calm was practicing ZvJ

but now the cj Terran will have an epic match!
Iris, you can win a title, but it's gonna be GOM because you can't take one from calm. :D

Sweet. Calm's probably my favorite Zerg right now (he'll never unseat YellOw though), so seeing him in the finals is cool.

became a Calm fan after that dismantling of FBH but he really just made Iris' win 2x easier. JD is the only zerg I can think of that can really fight against weird preparation styles.
Happy for calm since this must be an amazing moment for him but I really think Iris deserves this more.

Whoever wins deserves it more :d

And Calm is no slouch when it comes to preparation either. If anything, these games were a prime example of that.

Hoping Calm takes it now that the Tyrant is out. Hard to root against Iris/Kwarnro though =/
