[SPL] Grand Final: KT Rolster vs SK Telecom T1 - Page 14

Yellow!!! Reach!!! Yellow's second place curse!!!

Mantoss:
"I believe that the dreams we unable to realized will be realized by a future generation."

Five years later, KT and SKT are once again contending at Gwanganri. Reach expresses that his memories of the KTF and SKT finals remains fresh and deep. Making his appearance wearing a KTF uniform, Reach succumbed to Midas's bunker (t/n: says tank?) rush in game 1. The pain of that experience has yet to subside today.

Reach in an interview with a DES reporter before the finals said, "I think KT will win the Championship either 4-2 or 4-3." Reach says, the current KT team members are no longer the same ones that SKT were able to trample underfoot. The players and the coaching staff are all on the same page, so they can break through and win the championship.

Reach says, "I often go to the KT practice house when I went on vacation. This year, team felt more unified than ever. The players and the coaches formed intimate bonds and were now advancing towards their common goal. I thought they were going to accomplish great things this season, and now they've basically almost accomplished it all.

Reach will be leaving the Airforce Ace quarters to go to Gwanganri to watch the finals. He says, "When I was at hanbit and KTF, my record at Gwanganri wasn't good. So every time I see that stage, I always feel a bit ashamed. I believe the dreams I was unable to realize will be realized by these members of my posterity. I will be cheering them on."

Yellow saids, "I will not allow the yellow curse to afflict KT. I will be cheering them on. The truth is that KT gave off an aura of invincibility during the season. During the SKT matchups, they also produced that kind of a display, so they should be able to break through the ice." He continued, "I believe the battle will be very intense and will get to an ace match up. In the end, KT will come away champions thanks to an excellent perform by Flash or another KT player."

The two didn't hesitate to leave some words of advice for KT. Yellow said, "KT is stronger than ever in their championship aspirations. I hope they don't forget that. Aside from the finals, KT has always compiled a good record. Against the strong teams, their performance was likewise strong. All that is lacking is a championship title, and the players will agonized over that. When I was at KT, I also felt that kind of feelings. I hope that they will bring honor to our team and come away with a championship title."

Reach said, "Although there will be future opportunities in the SPL finals, but such opportunities don't come easily. That is why they must grasp hold of this opportunity. I hope they will navigate their way out of the mysterious maze of being perennial second place and cast away the reputation of being a perennial second place team.

Yellow urged, "To win the championship, the players must not be nervous and have to perform to the best of their abilities. That is very important. If they are too intensely focused on winning, then they will create a psychological burden for themselves. I hope all of the players on the team will keep that in mind."
