Here are the interviews



Nada's interview :


Q : Because you won today, OOv is out now.

Nada : Actually I didn't know that if I won Oov would be eliminated. I just concentrated on winning my game.

Q : You beat Clon, who beat Xellos and Oov recently on OGN.

Nada : I was aware of that. Clon is really on fire these days so I tried not to underestimate him. But I was confident anyways. I practiced vs Z on Requiem a lot because I had to prepare for the premiere league as well. At Premiere League, July picked Requiem to be out so I had strats that I hadn't shown in public.

Q : You were looking bad in the beginning..loosing 4 rines early in the game.

Nada : I felt bad loosing the 4 marines but in the end it seemed like it had a better effect for me. I'm pretty sure Clon was thinking that I was going to do dropships. The actual big dangerous point was when Clon got gaurdians. I knew that he was going gaurdians, but if Clon had made just a few more, I would have lost.

Q : Your next game is vs OOv

Nada : I have revenge to do. I will definitely beat him.

Q : Your start in this league is good.

Nada : I always did well in the first round..the problem was always in the next round of 8. I always met with monster players...but this league I have a different feeling. I will win for sure.


Yellow's Interview :


Q : You were damaged yet again by early bunkers.

Yellow : I was doubtful he will do that, but I kind of had it in my mind. But no one ever did that strat during practie. When I knew I couldn't block it, I changed my strat. I canceled my overlord transporting upgrade because I knew there would be a slight timing where Boxer was to defend only with turrets. I calculated the timing and when I had 18 mutas I attacked with all of them and eventually won. I think it was good timing calculation and a little bit of mistake on Boxer's part.

Q : Do you still think of the last leageu's semis vs Boxer?

Yellow : No, not at all. Even when Boxer did early bunkers, I just thought to myself "Hm..bunkering" and concentrated on the game. I'm just glad that I won, especially on a such an important game.

Q : Are you optimistic about getting into the next round?

Yellow : I'm not pessimistic. My next opponent is Doggi, and I have to play right next week and nothing is for certain right now. I want to get into the next round with 3 wins. I beat Boxer, the toughest opponent, so I'm confident.

Q : Were you pressured while preparing for this return match?

Yellow : Not as much as before. I wasn't feeling all nervous and stuff. When I figured people weren't expecting spectacular matches anymore, I felt relieved. I also felt disappointed that Boxer vs Yellow didn't mean as much as before, but it allowed me to play more like myself. I only thought of winning, and preparing was relatively easy.

Q : You are the only one likely to make it to the next round from your team

Yellow : I think KTF has the most players in a league but always fails to get those players to the top. Me and my teammates are trying harder. I won't say more about the past, only that team KTF will try harder and reign at the top.


Saferzerg's interview :


Q : You are in the next round with 2 wins already.

Saferzerg : I'm glad to make it to the next round at my first OSL appearance. I'm especially happy that I beat Jju. I played with Jju a lot at big matches and I lost a lot to him. I was eliminated a lot because of him so I thought of picking him at this OSL.

Q : Jju came with a surprise 4 drone pool attack.

Saferzerg : It was a 4 drone rush? I thought it was a 5 drone rush..no wonder why zerglings came so fast. If Jju came with a sunken rush as well, I would have lost but luckily he didn't so I knew if I did some nice drone micro I could block it.

Q : When did you think you would get in the next round?

Saferzerg : It was probably when I beat Midas last last week. I am better vs Protoss and Zerg than vs Terran so I knew if I beat Midas I had a chance. Playing Midas was the toughest.

Q : I heard you are very good at cooking. Tell us about today's victory in cooking terms.

Saferzerg : .....Just a nice big meal I can share with my teammates. I didn't get into the next round, me and my teammates did.


Chojja's interview :


Q : It's your first win after a loss.

Chojja : Not good. It's always not good when you play a teammate. I will forget about my first two games and concentrate on my last game. If I win, I'm probably in and if I loose, I'm probably out.

Q : How's your condition these days?

Chojja : It's a new year and I want to have a good year. I will prepare a lot and will try to lead a good year.

Q : How was Sync's MMF rush today?

Chojja : I knew because I was watching with an overlord, and I knew I would block it even if marines were added. When I had only 1 sunken left, I was startled but lurkers came out and saved me.

Q : You played teammates two days in a row. (vs TheMarine in MBCgame and vs Sync in OSL)

Chojja : It was hard to practice, I didn't practice a lot. I'm thankful to my teammate Dong-Eun who helped me practice. (Dong-Eung is probably a practice partner since no one recognizes him.)

Q : You didn't use queens like you used to.

Chojja : Queens are like swords with blades at both ends. I concentrated on winning so I didn't even think of units like Queens. If you use Queens well, they are good but if you use them not well, they are poison.

Q : A word to your fans.

Chojja : I want to be like the old Chojja who used to get into finals and stuff. I will try hard to win. And lastly, Happy New Year and good luck!!

-__- great rivals bring great games, even Yellow acknowledges that the era when he and BoxeR dominated the BW community was over. whatever, that game on the island is interesting to watch.

Thank u, sharp. have a nice day

Hehehe, you can tell that SaferZerg was surprised when the interviewer asked: "Q : I heard you are very good at cooking. Tell us about today's victory in cooking terms." ^^

Thanks Sharp. I'm glad Yellow got his revenge. And to Boxer - Wow bunker rushing on an island map, and his strategy worked, too (though he didn't win the game afterwards).
