Thanks for the new trans. Only found one mistake: TLS_Rain defeated DreamizEr, not Rache.

Thanks for taking time to translate!...great interviews specially from Genius and my new favorite zerg NewDawn Not even talking about the kid's play, he just looks like he is having the most fun out there Keep snapping them chicken necks!

I also liked Fruitdealer's interview and how he is open to saying that Zerg is slightly and maybe even hugely overpowered at the moment...consistently one of the better interviews imo.

TSL_FruitDealer, 'I'm confident in ZvZ.'

[image loading]

TSL_FruitDealer has safely landed a spot in the round of 32 by defeating Tosyad 2:0

Q. How does it feel to advance to the round of 32?
A. I played him in the past and thought that 'even though we started playing at the same time, I must be ahead since I practiced more.' I suddenly thought that everything I worked for could be spoiled and was motivated to try harder when I was playing against this specific player.

Q. Did you think that because you were knocked out so early in season 2?
A. Maybe, but I think the early exit in season 2 can be valuable lesson if I do well in the future.

Q. You played a ZvZ, how did you practice?
A. I think that it's unnecessary to practice mirror match-ups. It's still important, but I'm less nervous that not everything is dependent on pure micro. I'm not particularly good at micro, and today was a lucky day, all of my drones could have easily died.

Q. Do you usually skip practicing ZvZ?
A. I rarely play ZvZ's. If I meet a zerg on ladder, I either 6 pool or leave the game. It helps me more when I study the current trends after watching others play. I'm confident in ZvZ, so it doesn't bother me that much that there are so many zergs this season. I'm also confident that I won't lose a psychological battle.

Q. You started off with a disadvantage in set 2.
A. I didn't know that he was doing a 8 pool, but I thought that I won after seeing his zerglings run to my base. I was originally going to 8, 9 or 10 pool myself, but people around me discouraged me from doing so saying that it has a low win rate. I confirmed my victory after he made some banelings.

Q. Unlike the time you won in season 1, there are many strong zergs.
A. I don't have any special thoughts. If you watch carefully, they all have different styles and they all play well. It looks like they're doing well, because they're good, but it also looks like zerg is slightly overpowered and possibly very overpowered (laughs). However, I don't know how things will go in the tournament.

Q. You will face off against either sCfOu or FOX_Bless.
A. It's very comforting. Recently, I've been slumping in ZvT, and I'm relieved that I can focus on practicing ZvT while putting everything aside.

Q. What is your goal for this tournament?
A. At first, it was to get to the round of 8. After getting knocked out from the event matches in Pusan, I had a bet while drinking with a friend, I might have to reach the final if I want to win that bet (laughs).

Q. How is the atmosphere in the TSL team?
A. Everyone that didn't qualify are all bright, so the atmosphere is alright. TSL_Rain and TSL_GuineaPig have advanced to the main event, but they haven't changed (laughs). I'm worried that it might get depressing if both of them drop out suddenly, but as of now, it's very good.

Q. Any comments?
A. I want to thank the coach for taking in all my complaints and taking good care of me, he might have been disappointed that I never mentioned him in my interviews. I hope we all do well even if we have to suffer through a little together. He might look weak, but he has been very supportive (laughs). I'm thankful that he is so nice.

Original interview in Korean (www.fomos.kr):
+ Show Spoiler +
23일, 신정동 곰TV 스튜디오에서 펼쳐진 소니에릭슨 스타크래프트2 오픈 시즌3 64강 경기에서 ‘과일장수’ 김원기(TSL)가 윤중욱(무소속)을 2:0으로 격파하며 32강에 무난히 안착했다.

다음은 김원기와의 일문일답.

- 32강에 진출한 소감은
▲ 예전에 한번 붙어본 적 있는 분과의 대결이라 경기를 앞두고 ‘게임을 같이 시작했던 사람이지만 내가 연습을 더 많이 해서 한 발짝 위에 있다’는 생각이 들었다. 이 상태에서 조금만 나태하게 지내도 지금까지 노력한게 물거품이 될 수 있겠다는 생각이 문득 들었고, 이 선수와 붙게 돼 더 열심히 해야겠다는 느낌을 받았다.

- 시즌2 때의 조기 탈락 때문에 그런 생각을 한 것인지
▲ 그런 것도 같다. 하지만 시즌2 때의 조기 탈락은 앞으로 더 잘 하면 약이 될 수도 있는 경험인 것 같다.

- 저저전이었는데, 연습은 어떻게 했나
▲ 동족전은 원래 연습할 필요가 없다고 생각한다. 물론 다 중요하기는 하지만, 스타1 때의 저저전처럼 컨트롤에만 의존할 필요는 없는 것 같아서 부담이 덜 하다. 나는 원래 컨트롤과가 아니기도 하고, 오늘도 운이 안 좋았으면 일벌레가 다 죽었을 텐데 운이 좋았다.

- 평소에도 저저전 연습은 잘 하지 않는 편인가
▲ 저저전은 거의 안 한다. 래더에서 저그를 만나도 6못을 하든가, 그냥 나가 버린다. 다른 사람들의 저저전을 보면서 추세를 파악하는게 훨씬 더 도움이 된다. 저저전은 자신 있어서 이번 시즌에 저그가 많다고 해도 신경 쓰이지 않는다. 심리전에서는 안 질 자신 있다.

- 2세트에서는 빌드가 갈려 불리하게 시작했는데
▲ 상대가 8못이라는 것을 몰랐지만, 상대 저글링이 오는 것을 보고 이겼다고 생각했다. 원래는 내가 8, 9, 10못을 하려고 했는데 주변에서 승률이 안 좋다고 하길래 시도하지 않았다. 상대가 맹독충을 생산해 확실히 이길 수 있었다.

- 본인이 우승할 당시와 다르게 강한 저그들이 많아졌다
▲ 별 다른 생각은 없다. 지켜보면 스타일은 조금씩 다른데 모두 다 잘 한다. 그냥 그 선수들이 잘 하기 때문에 저그가 잘 하는 것 같이 보이지만, 저그가 살짝 강한 것 같기도 하면서도 완전히 강한지는 잘 모르겠다(웃음). 하지만 대회에서만큼은 어떻게 될지 모르는 것 같다.

- 다음 상대로는 김승철과 박준 중 한 명을 만난다
▲ 마음이 정말 편하다. 내가 요즘 테란전을 정말 못 하는데, 다른 것에 신경 쓸 일 없이 테란전만 연습하면 되기 때문에 오히려 다행이라고 생각한다.

- 이번 시즌 목표는 무엇인지
▲ 처음 목표는 8강으로 잡았었다. 부산에서 있던 이벤트전에서 탈락한 뒤 친구와 술을 먹고 내기를 했는데, 그 친구에게 내기를 지지 않으려면 결승에 가야 될 것도 같다(웃음).

- 최근 TSL 팀 분위기는 어떤가
▲ 예선에서 떨어진 친구들도 다 밝아서 분위기는 괜찮다. (박)서용이나 (김)현태도 본선에 올라갔지만 예전과 비슷하다(웃음). 둘 다 갑자기 떨어지면 분위기가 나빠질까봐 걱정은 되지만, 지금은 분위기가 매우 좋다.

- 마지막으로 더 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 한 번도 이야기 안 해서 섭섭해 하실 수도 있겠다고 생각했는데, 그 동안 불평도 잘 들어주시고 챙겨주신 감독님께 감사하다고 전하고 싶다. 조금 더 다같이 고생해서 더 잘 됐으면 좋겠다. 좀 왜소해 보이시지만, 굉장한 버팀목이 돼 주신다(웃음). 너무 잘 해주셔서 감사하다.

TSL_Rain, ''Kimchi man, tuna man', EGIdrA doesn't have anything to do with this.'


What was that about? I hadn't heard any discussion previous to this.

Some of the more popular players' interviews were translated. But they're in separate threads, not nicely compiled together like here ^^

"Q. After you qualified, your statement 'kimchi man, tuna man' became an issue.
A. That interview wasn't related to EGIdrA at all. It was an inside joke between me and a user named 'Sound', and I was shocked to see the replies. I didn't mean to diss EGIdrA by any means."

lost in translation i guess

'Tuna man and kimchi man' was some inside joke TSL_Rain promised to say in his interview if he won.

There were rumours on the korean community sites that IdrA has been going around calling Korean players 'kimchi man' and BMing them.

People mixed up these 2 stories and thought TSL_Rain was referring to IdrA when he said 'kimchi man', which is just some silly inside joke of him and his friend.

onymous, the simplest way i can put it is to think of it as Division 1 with the top players for the 2011 gom sc2 season...code A would be division 2 and on and on.

I feel bad for Haypro, but Sen winning is awesome in my pants :D

I'm really rooting for Ret and Jinro though, I'd be bummed to see those guys lose.
