Thanks to Cryingpoo for these!

[image loading]
Losira

Q : Congratuations on your winnings, what is your thoughts?

Losira : I am happy that I will remain in Code A without going through qualifying matches. I wish to do well in the future games.

Q : Were you confident about today's match up?

Losira : I made a good build while practising so I was fairly confident. But on the first set, I lost to a build that I haven't seen before but on the second set I did what I planned out. He did 4 wrap-gate rush so it was a relatively easy win.

Q : What do you think about new maps?

Losira : I like them. Other Zerg players still have hard times on the new maps but in my opinion it is ok.

Q : Why do you mainly use Banelings?

Losira : I personally like Banelings. When having a big 200 population battle, if Zerg has many high tech units army size has to be small. Banelings only take up 1 food so I produce them frequently.

Q : Your next opponent will be a Terran player. How do you think?

Losira : I am really confident in ZvT even against anyone. I will try to get to the Code S up/down matches.

Q : This is your first season in GSL, any goals?

Losira : Getting into Code S, and when I do I wish to win

Q : You are known for IM's third hidden card after MvP and Nestea

Losira : I will try harder to be the higher card (laughs)

Q : Any last words?

Losira : I want to thank Sang-Won, Yong-hwa, Hyo-Jong, and Jin-hyun. Also TSL_Sangho. I also thank my coach and his wife for cheering me up.

August

Q : Like the last season you advanced into Round of 16, how do you feel?

August : In the last season I played against Protoss so it was bit easier, I get more nervous when I play against Terran. I feel good about winning but my next game will be against Zerg so I would need to focus on practicing.

Q : What do you think about your next opponent, Losira?

August : He is a really strong Zerg, I've only won against him using entrance bunker push. I would need to practice to win.

Q : Can you not get your teammates to help you?

August : We only have two Zerg players in the team and practicing against another Terran will not help much against Losira. I will find different ways of getting practice done.

Q : Some feedback says that your weak match up is TvT?

August : On the first GSL season I lost against a Terran to 2:0. Even on today's match my first game went kinda well but on the second game I could not think of a solid counter after dropping units, that could've cost me a game. I need to cover all aspects.

Q : Have you met Loner on the ladder?

August : I don't ladder so much so no I haven't

Q : On the first set, Loner's main army was based on Siege Tanks, did the win on the battle at the center help?

August : Yes, when I saw his Banshee I scanned his base. I saw his techlab on his starport not shining so I assumed that he wouldn't get cloaking. He switched to tanks after and went to expo so I think that gave me an advantage to win. I thank techlab for providing valuable information..

Q : What is your goal on this season?

August : I have more time to practice until the next match. I want to win many strong players to be in the up/down matches.

Q : Any final words?

August : I thank Sang-Hwan, I practiced about 60 games with him. I also thank Ji-sung I ask him whenever I am confused and stuck, he is always kind and gives me good advices. I thank my coach for cheering me up whenever I had down times.

Huk

Q : This is your first win in Korea, how do you feel?

Huk : I was very nervous but now I am happy. I want to win the next match and get into Up/Down matches.

Q : You won by 2:0. Did you expect that?

Huk : I was not that confident to expect my scores against my opponent. I know all players are strong. I had many mistakes in the first game but he made mistakes as well and my DT's did well so I could win.

Q : You looked very nervous, did that affect your play?

Huk : This was the first GSL match I've had so yes I was nervous. But I get nervous often. I am trying to fix that.

Q : Your username is 'Huk' which is a Korean onomatopoeia for expressing a shock, is that it?

Huk : Yes, my Korean friend gave me that nick. He went to serve in the army and I can't get in touch with him but I still use it.

Q : You are the first person who got a foreign seed into GSL, did that pressure you?

Huk : I know some Korean fans are not happy that I've got a seed without going through qualifying matches. I will prove myself with my plays.

Q : You broadcast your play on web unlike Korean players, does that affect you?

Huk : Before I came to GSL and in overseas tournaments, I do not know who I will face against or maps so I broadcasted. You can't really prepare a strategy for a tournament like that. But on GSL I know maps and my next opponent so I do not cast games that may be relevant to my next games.

Q : You are ranked number one in the European server, how do you compare Europe server against Korean server?

Huk : It only took me four days to be high ranked in Europe. Korean players practice more and play more solid styles. If any players who play on Korean ladder, I think they could be high ranked in European server.

Q : You participated in many foreign leagues, any differences that you feel between GSL?

Huk : I feel that these leagues are much easier to compete. I believe that if a Korean player joins a overseas tournament, they would surely be on top. That's how much they play well. GSL may seem like Korean versus Foreigners but other tournaments do not seem like that

Q : Any last words?

Huk : I want to win Code A. And I thank my family and fans for supporting me.

Revival

Q : Congratuations on your winnings, how do you feel?

Revival : Very very pleased, I think I was lucky that my opponent made few mistakes.

Q : This was a your debut match, were you nervous?

Revival : Very nervous. This was casted everywhere and the fact that people are watching me play made me nervous.

Q : How do you feel about today's match up?

Revival : I am pleased in overall but I think I need to work on my early game builds.

Q : Your next opponent is Huk, how do you feel?

Revival : It is winnable, he is Protoss and I've met him on ladder many times. I think his style can be compete against mine.

Q : People had high expectation of you and now you are in Code A.

Revival : I want to get into Code S. Obviously I want to win Code A while getting into Code S.

Q : What did your teammates say?

Revival : They cheered me up so I wouldn't get nervous. They helped me a lot.

Q : You seem to get nervous so when can we expect to see your full potential?

Revival : I don't know yet. I will need to play more games. I can feel my nerves are shaking. My hands are shaking and I can't group units properly.

Q : Any last words?

Revival : FruitDealer and I feel responsible to show entertaining games. Please watch us and support us

Was really impressed by Losira's use of the banelings in ZvP, didn't work so well the first time but he managed to pull it off :p

Kinda disappointed that no one asked HuK what the ceremony was about Maybe telling the people who doubt him to be quiet? idk lol

Doesn't banelings only take 1/2 food?

I think HuK should not underestimate himself, and be more confident. His aggressive style is more than enough to earn him the confidence needed to go all the way!

Gl HuK, u are my favorite player !

Both HuK's and LosirA's games were very fast paced and extremely entertaining. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone that missed out.

Thanks for the translation!

Losira said he wanted to become the "BanelingKing" a bit like MKP.

Thanks so much for the fast translations, I got a good laugh out of August saying he's only beaten Losira with bunker rushes before haha, I'll look forward to seeing how their next round goes.

Probably just that he doesn't think Huk will be an easy match.

I'd hazard a guess that his interview was probably translated into Korean, and then translated back to English ^^

I'd say the interview answers might have revealed Huk's reason there. Sounds like he felt he silenced the critics who said that foreigners getting in to code A via seeding didn't deserve to be there.

Huk : It only took me four days to be high ranked in Europe. Korean players practice more and play more solid styles. If any players who play on Korean ladder, I think they could be high ranked in European server.


-> Well obviously it only takes him a few days to be really high ranked on a server with a huge bonus pool when he is really good to begin with. DIMAGA, MaNa or any other top EU player could easily start a new account on US and get near 4000 or more in a few days if they grind the ladder. Thats just how the system works.

But I do agree with him that the Koreans are a bit more solid, not saying they are WAY WAY better than EU players, since I think the TOP Eu players can compete with Koreans. In FXOpen we saw Koreans dropping games left and right to not even really big names. And I'm aware that those were not MKP, MVP, NaDa etc, but still.

Anyways, gratz to HuK. He played well 2nd Game, first game nice comeback :-)! Hope he does well against his next opponent, should really be do-able for him to win it all.

Is his next opponent ex Revival[ScM] ? If yes, he was SICK in Broodwar^^
