If someone told me at the beginning of the tournament that Kwanro will get to the finals I would call you crazy. Alas, here we are...

2015 Finals are weird. Imagine what the 41SL finals will look like.

Kwanro while inconsistent is definitely underrated. A lot of people just think of him as a guy who can only all-in.

He is also the guy that would win like 1/10 all-ins against pros when they still trained professionally. Always reminded me of the Pikachu fight against Rocko, lel.

Why is Kwanro so awesome? The man is just a pure baller. I say this as someone who wanted Zero to win. You just can't hate Kwanro...and before you know it, you're subconsciously cheering him on.

My gods that last game was pure awesomeness. That build... so perfectly prepared... Beautiful. I was rooting against Zero anyway, but now I'm really happy Kwanro made it with such an awesome comeback.

I hope kwanro's old zvt will come back

I seem to remember (maybe misremember?) pretty much perpetual ling aggression -> like 2 hatch muta -> ultra immediately

one crazy attack after another (well I know that much is true ^.^)

Just watched the games. I have to say they were fun.

Kwanro getting to the finals too. He did show flashes during his short SSL10 run but this is quite unexpected. 2015 with the weird start.

Someone will do a better job of it, but here's the rough summary:
-when asked about how he feels about the match as a whole: Kwanro says he just feels like he pulled through despite a terrible start. He felt bad after nothing worked for him in the first two games.

-when asked about his build in the last game: K says that Zero would have known how to react to any standard build, but with the pressure being so high, he thought that Zero might fail to scout it if he expands to 6 o'clock. Says that there was definitely something psychological going on there.

-Kwanro says that leagues now feel very different for him compared to how it was during Kespa times, when he had teammates as practice partners, and during a live match your coach would come to the booth between games to discuss the next build and help relieve some of the tension. He says that dealing with everything all alone is a pretty heavy burden to him and that he's feeling quite pressured.

-K thanks first and foremost his family, since he currently lives with them (if I got this correctly).

Okay, those are the important bits that I got. If you want more, you'll have to wait for one of the TL translators to get around to doing a proper translation.

I actually went back just now to listen to some parts of the interview to check for that, but couldn't find anything. I do have two more pieces of info for you, though:
-when asked how he felt before the third game, being down 0-2: Kwanro says that he knew the next map would be Avalon, which has in the past brought him luck (and is somehow related to him winning 3-0 against Zero at some point in the past, not sure). So he was feeling good about game 3, despite the score.

-when asked whom he would prefer meeting in the finals, K says he'd like to meet Hero, so they could see who has the better ZvZ.

I'd love to see a Kwanro vs Mind final too but Mind's play is so strong recently, Kwanro needs to step up a notch to not look like a total noob against him. So I guess Kwanro hwaiting!

Also, ty for the translations too. ^^
