I hope we will see a good final, rush matches are not necessarily bad games (Jinro - MC game 4), you have a lot of excitement in those games also. I hope a 4-3 MC win in the finals. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Q: After switching over from SCBW, were you anxious to produce results? A: I started playing Starcraft 2 back when I was still with MBCGame. After I left, my ex-teammates talked about it with me as well. At first, I believe that I was still not strong enough and didn't have much hope in the tournament. But during season two, my expectations rose much higher. Even so, I believe my achievements in season three are already quite good. Q: Was it hard to practice for the match? A: Team TL has its own practice room. The living room was used by us oGs team members. Usually when we practice we won't care too much if the other is watching. Our relationship is very good, and we often play jokes or make digs at each other. Q: Did you think you would achieve a commanding 4-0 victory? A: My record against Terrans is very good, and I have played thousands of games against Jinro. I believe I know his playing style and that's why I believe I could achieve the victory today. It wasn't too surprising for me. Q: Do you feel guilty about winning? A: As I have said before in the Ro32 interview, I will not feel guilty. I feel I was the better player and that is the best way to respect my opponent. It's the same this time. I will become the champion, for Jinro's case, as well. Q: Jinro had some defenses but still didn't stand up to your attack. A: The experience of being a Starcraft 1 professional has helped me a lot. Starcraft 2 is all about looking at your opponent's opening and guessing his follow up strategy. This aspect of the game is even more important than in Starcraft. So as a SC1 pro, it makes me stronger than many people. I feel that there are currently no Terrans that can match up with my play. Although if Flash were to switch over, I might change my mind (laughs). Q: Was Jinro's all-in attack in game 4 very powerful? [TL: dangerous?] A: I wasn't too surprised. I just wasn't able to produce my DTs fast enough. On the whole, my strategy was the perfect counter to my opponent's play. Destroying the CC was the key to securing my victory. Q: After the GG in the 4th game, what were you thinking? A: I was only thinking that I am finally in the finals. I didn't think much else. Since my opponent was a friend and victory wasn't very climactic, it was sort of awkward. Q: The previous champions were all SC1 pros. A: I would also like to become on of them. My opponent is a Terran, so I believe my victory is already well within my grasp[the eminently plausible outcome]. I definitely will not lose to any all-out all-ins. He might be able to win one in a thousand. If he can win a second game, it'd already be a success. Q: What are your thoughts after watching yesterday's game. [TL: sentences felt out of order in the original.] A: I am not belittling my opponent. I'd like to make that clear. I only feel that HongUn played really poorly in that match. We all thought that HongUn was a lock to advance. There are lots of good Terrans on my team, and even though TSL has sSKS, I don't think he will be able to play better than me. I am only saying this just now. I am the first Protoss to advance into the finals, and I can proudly declare that I am the best Protoss. GSL-MC：I've played thousands of games against Jinro and I am the best Protoss. ---------------------------------- Something extra: MC defeats Jinro 4-0 [TL: not sure of context - feels different than first part] Q：Are your parents cheering for your victory? A：For my mother, I must win the championship. For myself, for my teammates, and for my friends, I must win the championship. Q：Are you going to send presents to all those fans that came with cheerfuls for you? A：I was too concentrated on the match. I forgot them. I had to call Inca to bring them in from our practice hall. After the interview, I'll give them out. Q：Any last words. A：Mom naturally be ecstatic. I want to say, "Mom, I love you." I want to thank all the teammates that helped me practice. I still have one more match. I will show everyone the utmost strength, the utmost confidence, and the ultimate ceremony. Many typos. I apologize in advance. KR translators, please correct if necessary. | ||

Not only that is his personality, it's a good gesture to his friend Jinro The problem with MC so dominating versus T is the sentries and VR I think GAS STEAL is a must against a protoss like MC Force P to get gas late, trim down the size of sentry/VR early on Maybe send 2 SCV, 1 building the Refinery, 1 microing and repair it the gas MUST be delayed to maximize the efficiency of bunkers, if T is going to expo otherwise, might as well skip oribital command and put down 3 rax asap on 1 gas, or skip techlab/reactor and pump rines on 2 rax, expo, put down 3rd/4th rax marine heavy army to stall until expo is up Stim upgrade first is good idea, MC hasn't give T opponent a chance to kite, since at any given point MC's army can take on T's army fairly well I was just curious when Jinro scouts with reaper why didn't he attack the lone sentry? sentries fall so fast to reaper, i think sniping the sentries out is also a good idea, together with bunker/turret defense it forces 2 gas toss to get stalkers (a mineral heavy unit in the first 6 minutes), so toss would have to delay building his additional gate/pylon/expo buildings, slighting pushing his timings back for a good 10~15 seconds | ||

It's not like you can warp in an assimilator and run away with your probe, or turn your drone into an extractor. As terran the SCV is always exposed to damage. Don't ever skip orbital, if you do and he goes DT you're dead. If you do and he puts on pressure and you have to pull SCVs, you're dead. Early pressure against MC is not very smart since his sentry play is outstanding. Also for everything you mentioned to work, the protoss must play by the terran rules, which he never does. This is theorycrafting at its worst. | ||

I really had the wrong impression about his personality. If Rain can take even one game off MC, straight up or cheese all in, I'd be impressed. | ||

MC never cheesed a single time, his early aggro was just so good that he was able to finish jinro off before getting to the late game. None of his openings were cheeses, just aggression and rush, rain on the other hand builds marines and sends all his scvs, one is a strategy that can be transitioned out of, one is a cheese. As for people saying he was afraid of Jinro's late game....I don't think so, Jinro's late game is pretty good but MC has proven that he can play the macro game just as well as he can play the early game. And in the long games where Jinro beat choya, if it was MC in Choya's place, MC would not have lost. Choya made a ton of mistakes. Plus everything about "he knew Jinro too well" yeah he knew Jinro well, but his playstyle wasn't much different from what he did against MK and Hyperdub, and anyways Jinro knows him just as well, yet I didn't see a 4-0 from his side, knowing a player well through being practice partners doesn't just give one player an advantage. | ||

Giving his most even thought it was somehow cheapstake to; It was still the best way to respect ones opponent giving oneselfs all. I like asians that way, alot of honour. | ||
