JULY INTERVIEW
http://www.fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=86329&db=interview

TRANSLATE is THX


Since this is my first day off in like 5 months of 18 hour days I guess I'll share some of the joy and translate this for you..

-It took you 7 seasons to return to the semifinals..
It feels great. I feel sorry for (P)Rock because his mother was here today. I'm sure he's disappointed he couldn't win for her.

-It's also your first semifinal since your transfer to STX..
I was looking forward to these games because I've been preparing really hard, and the coaching staff has been working hard to bring me back to shape. I think coming to STX was a great choice. I've been practicing more and, unlike some of my previous teams, the schedules are nicely planned giving me some extra free time while also working hard, which suits my style.

-How does it feel to play outdoors again after such a long time?
I'm proud that I'll be able to show case my games in front of such a large audience and also motivated to do better. I'm really happy that so many people will be able to watch my games.

-You've heard talk about how you were playing poorly even though you were still making it into the Starleague.
At that time I never thought I was playing poorly, but now that I look back I think I was. If I played well I would've made it past the round of 16, but since I couldn't I guess I was playing rather poorly. I was being a bit foolish, but since I've come to realize how I bad my game play was, I want to play well in my remaining games and get the Golden Mouse.

-Who would you like to play in the semifinals? (I guess this was before the other games were played)
I already know that I will be playing against a protoss so I'm fairly confident. I've practiced a lot with (P)BackHo, so I would personally like to play against (P)JangBi. I've heard that he's been wanting to play against me, so I want to make him regret ever saying that.

-You have the best shot of getting the second Golden Mouse
The fact that it would be the first Golden Mouse for a zerg player, and that it took 2 years and 4 months for this opportunity makes this even more special. My only thought is that I must win this season.

-Do you feel that you are back to your championship form?
I've only played a few games so I think it's a little early to decide. But I'll realize that I'm back in form once I've played more games.

-Any last words?
I'd like to thank my two coaches for coming along with me today (박종수, 조규백). I'd also like to congratulate (Z)by.hero on his birthday today. My schedule isn't set yet, but I'd like to finish my preparations for tomorrows games [proleageu vs SKT1]

go Luxury!! I know you can't walk your Royal Road now but still, go!!

BackHo please meet JulyZerg at the finals, PLEASE! So we will get a royal road or a golden mouse.:D

Not happening. BackHo is going to meet JulyZerg on the semis (with Lux vs Best on the other side of the bracket).

I wanna see July vs Best. I wanna see July-Lux too but, ZvZ is too luck based and Lux also is a beast in ZvZ. Go July get that second Golden Mouse!



I thought that it was BackHo-Best and JulyZerg-Luxury?

July is scared of BackHO if they really practised a lot with each other this should be interesting

I agree that this is one of the weakest semis I've ever seen. But it was one the weakest ro8 also, so nothing new.

luxury and best weak? they are the pwnage at the moment
granted im suspicious about july and backho
I must return to the time when I played with my own style, and when I determined the victory through strategies. And the strategies are a product of practicing more than anyone else. The key to success is to persevere through practice. Lim Yo-hwan

weak last 4? Maybe a bit more unknown but I wouldn't call any of them weak. Backho is the killer of legends, Best is on fire lately, Luxury just kicked out the favorite in a convincing way and july well... he took rock out of his misery I guess :p
I'd say this is probably one of the more entertaining combo's we could have gotten in the semi finals =)

i think this is an absolutely awesome final four. i think the people saying it's weak should justify their claim

july -- very exciting player. candidate for the golden mouse. a legend making a comeback
backho -- the perfect underdog story. not one of those fake underdogs who bursts onto the scene completely awesome and is only underdog cuz they're rookies, but rather a true underdog. rare to see in this age of competition
best -- hottest protoss player. candidate to be hottest player period
luxury -- took down the hottest player and is now forced to overcome his weak ZvP. reminiscent of jaedong storyline, when jaedong had to face stork who was a hot protoss player at the time.

really strong final four in my opinion. i dont know how a person can't find someone in those four to support. 4 completely different players each with something to offer the fans to identify with

Oh god I don't like any of these players except July and I know he's not going to win.

Looks like Best is gonna take this pretty easily now that Flash is gone.

I dont want to make a new thread in the Broodwar Forum so i just post it here.

Im glad that there were no cheeses at this quarter final. I have seen quite a few cheeses this few weeks. Let me name them.
Jaedong vs Casy (This OSL Round 1)
Jaedong vs Backho (This OSL Round 1)
Backho vs Casy (This OSL Round 1)
Stork vs Best (This OSL Round 2)
Stork vs Jangbi (This OSL Round 2 Tie Breakers)
Jaedong vs Lucifer (This MSL Round of 8)

Do you get what i want to stress out?

Point: It sucks to be a Champion or a strong player because your opponents surprise you by cheesing. Your opponents fear you as a strong player, will resort to cheese than to play normal. High chances are the strong players get knocked out.

So, before the quarter finals, i thought that Flash will be be next victim of cheese be knocked out. But luckily, my theory proved wrong. Luxury did not cheese and entertained us with 2 sraight games.

Hahahaha.... I had a feeling Backho might make it through. But it sounds so weird to say "Backho: OSL Semifinalist."
