Hullo,

I realize some of this stuff has already been translated. But as a semi-pro translator in real life, I believe that it's better for someone to do a direct translation from Korean to English, instead of Korean -> Chinese -> English.

That said, thanks to our Chinese friends for being so swift.

Nehoo,

(all of this is from fighterforum.com. That being said, I still hope their community goes 0-5 this week)

Savior - Ma Jae-Yoon

-You dominated Boxer, 3-0.
▶I did not perdict that score. I had thought it would be 3-2. Every game I was lucky in terms of build order. The games came easy to me from the early stages. I wanted to play more, but it was over within three games, so I'm a little bummed. Being the winner of the first ever superfight is a good memory that I will keep forever.

-How did you prepare for your first ever matchup against Boxer. [note: I think they mean Best of- matchup. Savior and Boxer were 1-0 before, met at MSL Survivor]
▶I thought that Boxer would prepare some unpredictable strategy. I put a lot of emphasis in early game strategy when I practiced. That helped me, especially when I found his proxy factory.

-iloveoov might step up to avenge Boxer.
▶iloveoov is a very good Zerg killer. I would need a lot of practice. I can't say anything immediately. I think I'd have to prepare for it when it happens. I'll prepare the best strategies for the occasion.

-During your entrance on the crane, you seemed to be overwhelmed.
▶Boxer is the player who I always wanted to face in a finals. It doesn't even have to be a finals - of all the players I wanted to meet at the moment, Boxer is without a doubt the first. It was exciting to face him on a stage like this, especially with so many people. I was breathing deeply to calm myself.

-What were you thinking as you were up 2-0, preparing for the last game.
▶For a moment, I thought I could win 3-0 if I played well. But once I was inside the booth all I thought about was Longinus. I put a lot of importance into the Superfight - I wasn't thinking of anything else. I wanted to win this more than a final.

-The Superfight was organized by CJ Media.
▶I practiced real hard, not thinking anything of my company. I was only concerned in showing all that I had prepared. I wanted to show the best play, regardless of my affiliation.

-A word to Boxer.
▶I want to thank him for saying good words about me. I will work hard to become even better, so I hope he is watching from the air force. I want to thank him for paving the wide road that let me be where I am today. I am so thankful that the "Emperor" called me the best current Zerg. I will be that best Zerg until the day Boxer comes back.


Boxer - Lim Yo-Hwan
-It was your last official match before enrollment.
▶Throughout all the StarCraft tournaments, I don't think I've had as much fun as I did today. I got to see a lot of familiar faces. The player's entrances were also very unique. This is the first match I played in front of a large indoor crowd since EVER 2004 OSL.

-What are your impressions of the games.
▶I am quite satisfied at getting to play against the two players whom I really wanted to face. Each player made it very exciting for me, even losing 3-0 was enjoyable. Although I played eight games, I wanted to play the whole ten. I had spent a lot of time preparing strategies for games 4 and 5 with Savior, and I'm dissapoint for not having a chance to show them.

-Are you satisfied with your play today.
▶I played eight games today, and my strategies didn't work a single game. I thought to myself, "I guess there are days when nothing works." At the last game with Yellow, game 5, I didn't use the strategy I had prepared. I just used the strategy I wanted to use. The strategies I planned for games 4 and 5 with Savior I will teach to my teammates. They're too good to just stay buried.

-Your bunker rush, as expected, made a few appearances today.
▶Well to be honest all the bunker rushes I attempted today failed to really work. I think that basic TvZ strategy begins with bunker rushing. These days, it's hard to beat Zergs without bunkering. I recently bunker rushed Aqua and Silver too. Honestly, I thought I would be criticized after bunkering Silver, but the fans actually liked that I won after a long bad streak. I think I had over-used the bunker rush and angered some people (laughs).

-What do you think of the SuperFight.
▶This format is good for both the players and fans. The fans get to enjoy the matchups that they want to see. I think it's very good that the SuperFight will continue. It was meaningful and lasting that many people came. I don't think that today was a farewell match. It was, however, my last matches before enrolling, so I practiced hard because I very much wanted to win. I lost to Savior 0-3, but I did beat Yellow after a hard-faught 3-2. I want my fans to remember that. Today was not a stage for parting, it was merely a stage to promise to meet again. I will continue to do my best, as always.

-How are you going to use your winnings?
▶I will use it to thank all the people who gave me encouragement and confidence while I was slumping, and also for those who gave me strenght throughout my career. There are a number of people I will use my prize money fore. In particular, I think I owe Yellow a really nice dinner (laughs)

-What were the best and most dissapointing moments of your career?
▶The most memorable moment would be winning WCG 2002. This moment feels similar to then. On the other hand, losing to oov [note: 2004 EVER OSL finals] was the most dissapointing. I couldn't accept the way I played that day, so I was angry at myself.

-There's a lot of talk about your successor. What do you think.
▶I think anybody can become the "post-Boxer," as long as they do not simply follow the current trends, take advantage of their own strengths, and develop their own color of play to show the fans.

-Do you have any words for Savior, who beat you 3-0
▶I think that Savior is the best Zerg today. Most other progamers awknowledge it as well. I think that it's important for him to develop various different styles of play. Without the ability to adapt to different styles, players sometimes crash and slump.

-What are your plans after enrollment. Would you be able to appear in professional leagues.
▶It's unclear right now. I will simply do my best. I'm sure that as long as I work hard, opportunities will arise. Being in the air force will be another opportunity for me. In the army, I can't do all the other things I wanted to do as a civilian. So I can actually focus on a few things better. I want to prove that the army is where progamers can learn new things, not where progamers end their careers.


Thoughts from other progamers who were in attendance
▶Nal_Ra(KTF)= It looks like CJ did a lot of preparation. Also, they picked matchups with a lot of background story, so it feels a quite different from other league finals or event matches. I'm not satisfied to just sit in the audience. I hope they call me next time. I will create fun games.

▶GoRush(SKT)= They did a lot of new and interesting things with stage design and entrance scenes. The commentating crew was also a new combination, and I thought it was fun. I want to play too. Watching Boxer prepare, I wondered who I would face. Probably Nal_Ra or Nada. I think the fans would enjoy such a matchup.

▶Xellos(CJ)= We've come a long way since the Olympus OSL finals. [note: CJ Media stole a bit of experienced producers from OGN] I feel that all that know-how was reflected in the proceedings and the stage design. I want to be playing in the next SuperFight. It's organized by CJ Media, right? I want to play as a CJ player and win.

▶Chojja(KTF)= The hard work of the players could be seen behind the fancy stage. To the players, it's the same as any other match. I do think that CJ prepared hard to showcase a big event. I don't know if I will be participating, but I will do my best until I get the chance.

▶Anytime(Lecaf)= I didn't know it would be this big of a stage. I trust that all the fans had a good time, because the games were fun to watch. I will get a good result in the current OSL so I can play in the second SuperFight.

▶Silver(팬택)= The grand stage and side performances were befitting such a big event. Savior's strikes were excellent. I want to do well in both the ProLeague and individual leagues so I can someday be on that stage.

▶Tester(eNature)= It was good to experience such a big event as the SuperFight. There were no Protosses this time. I will work hard and improve so I can be the first Protoss in the SuperFight.

▶Jaedong(Lecaf)= Savior, who I admire, won today. I learned a lot just by watching from the audience. Right now, I have so much to learn, but I will work hard so I can be on that stage some day. Watch me as I go.



Before anybody asks, Yellow was not interviewed, as he did not win. It hurts to type these words.


(I'll translate some more stuff later. Just when I think I'm done with TLnet, it brings me right back in)

Thanks a lot for the translations. Really apreciated

It makes me happy to see how they respect each other. There seem to be no bitter taste of being defeated on either side, and its all in good fun -as it is supposed to be- =)

Sometime long ago Xellos mentioned losing a lot of TvZ in practice games. I think we all know who he is probably referring to.

Also Savior did answer the event-sponsor question. He said he didn't care or focus on that fact.

I think it's stupid that they did not interview Yellow. It was a special event after all, plus Yellow gave Boxer a really good fight

They wanted people to see the Superfight as a serious event thing, so they had to follow the rules of not interviewing the winner probably. I still think that not interviewing YellOw sucks, though.

Thanks for translations HT. All progamers are quite manner but a bit boring too saying the same words about event. Although it's so usual in such interviews.

Very nice words from the players. It's really stupid not to interview Yellow though or ask the audience about Boxer retirement though.

Thanks HonestTea for the good work!

I'm sorry for the off-topick cause i can't create threads. OSL games have just begun. Is anyone going to report them? It'd be extremely great.

"Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in. "

Michael Corleone's famous line from Godfather Part III

He's referring to the mob.

I... was referring to TLnet. I have a new job and a lot of work and DEFINITELY no time to be spending browsing TLnet.... but that didn't stop me, teehee~
