(Z)Jaedong - "Today's game was a comedy."

[image loading]

Even though he won, his expression was not great. There was no choice. His gameplay was not very good. (Z)Jaedong made mistakes that he didn't make before and showed a game where he has problems that he didn't have before.

He isn't a hot player recently but everyone was curious about (Z)Jaedong mental state after that game. Even though he gave his team a win, he didn't show a playstyle fit of being an Ace. We wanted to know why (Z)Jaedong's recent games have not been going well.

Q - After the game was over your expression was not great.

A - I couldn't lift my face. I was very embarrassed while I was playing the game and thought about how I will have to go out facing the audience. Inside I was just dumbfounded and it just made me laugh. This was the first time I've felt something like this as a progamer. I felt like this was a very good experience. I was relieved that I won. If I lost, I would've blown up Yongsan (place where the games are broadcasted).

Q - What did you feel when you found the blocked units?
A - It was just funny. Since the game wasn't over at that point, it was hard to express it. I had doubts if I was looking at a UMS *laugh*. Just looking at all my units stacked up in a spot made me laugh instead of rage.

Q - Why didn't you find out sooner about the blocked units?
A - My food count was 200 but I couldn't find the units. But I couldn't think about why I had no units. Throughout the game it felt like my soul was being sucked out of my body. I was very nervous and I was also on a losing streak so that was a contributing factor. I also had the burden of winning for the team as Ace in the 5th set. The game didn't go as I practiced. I just felt really frustrated playing the game. I felt like I was playing the game in another pace.

Q - Is there any reason why you laughed after seeing the game?
A - I just want people to see today's game as a comedy. Truthfully I knew I would win the game. Even though my play wasn't good I still fun *laugh*.

Q - If you had to compare between (P)Jaehoon's Bermuda Recall vs your mistake today, which one is the bigger one?
A - If I had to answer I'd say wouldn't both be of similar caliber? *laugh* I feel like I just left a best of the best moment in the ESports history. Is there any other person who blocked their entrance for more than 10 minutes *laugh*. Because of that wouldn't the meaning be deeper *laugh*. Truthfully I laughed a lot when I watched (P)Jaehoon's Bermuda Recall and I was satisfied to give people a laugh in my game.

Q - Everyone was expecting (Z)Jaedong to be mad over the game today, but you laughed. It feels like it's an unexpected response.
A - I felt I went beyond the mental collapse this game. The situations and the game sense were all different from practice so I was mad and having a temper. But at the point where I unleashed all the units from the blocked entrance I went beyond the mental collapse and started laughing *laugh*. I felt this was the greatest game since my debut *laugh*.

Q - Your team finally escaped last place.
A - This game was that important so I felt regardless of the situation as long as the team won I was relieved. I was on a 3 losing streak so I was very burdened but I felt I ended my losing streak very well *laugh*. I feel since I showed this kind of game I won't go lower *laugh*. I felt like this game was a game I can look back at. Since there is a long road ahead for the team in order to get to the top so I will try harder.

Q - A lot of people were looking at your gameplay and worrying.
A - It was a game where fans would've worried a lot. When I have lots of games to play it's easier to maintain my game pace but when I don't get to play a lot my pace starts to drop for some reason. Instead of being greedy I want to just resolve my games one by one.

Q - If you have any last word to the fans?

A - I wish you can just look at today's game lightheartedly *laugh*. From my perspective I felt that there was a lot of captures of the game but since I won I'm not bothered by it much. I felt really sorry for the fans that came to the stadium. I also heard I was the 1st in Korean searchlists. When will I get 1st any other time *laugh*. Since OGN was the 2nd in the searchlist wouldn't they have to thank me? *laugh* It was a game that would go well with the game I had in MBC (probably power outage). Since it was hard to call it a proleague game the rating of the game is priceless *laugh*.

Maybe it's the language barrier, but Jaedong sounds like he's snapped, lol.

when this happened, i felt deep sadness because I was scared that jd will lose and never be the same. koreans would be harsh towards him and that would only add to his pressure. glad he won so he can laugh about it.
