Hey guys. It's CryingPoo. Sorry that I was not able to update interviews for yesterday. My stupid ISP shut my internet for 2 days as they claimed that I did not pay the bills for a month (Personally rant here, I mean WTF - I've been their customer for 3 years and something went wrong with Direct Debit which they've never told me and decided to cut the internet for $59.99! Harsh world..)

Anyways here are today's interviews from PlayXP. Enjoy!

Jinro
[image loading]
Q : You are in the round of 16. How do you feel?

Jinro : I was worried as I did not have a very outstanding results in recent practice matches. I was confident against Zerg in new maps but not against Protoss. But three days before the tournament I adjusted to new maps against Protoss as well so I got calmer.

Q : Are you happy with your plays today?

Jinro : Very happy. Everything went the way I wanted

Q : Greg Fields (EGIdra) left Korea. He was the only other foreigner beside you, how do you think?

Jinro : Now people will pay more attention to me so I am happy about that

Q : In Starcraft 1, there were top foreign progamers like Guillaume Patry and Bertrand Grospellier. When you think about them what sort of progamer do you want to be?

Jinro : I personally like the career path that Bertrand took, but I don't want to have his sunglass fashion style (laughs)

Q : The format of the round of 16 has changed

Jinro : I am satified with the change this season. I thought it would be good idea for them to change it. I like how GSL is changing in a way that I like. I think this format is very reasonable.

Q : Who do you want to face in the next rounds?

Jinro : I wish oGsTOP and oGsNada to advance as I am in the same house with them but I do not want to face them already. But if I had to choose one player between them I would rather have a match with NaDa. I live with TOP so it would be hard to practise in the house if I face him. I also seek for many advices from him so I rather not face him.

Q : You did pretty well in the last season, now what is your goal for this season?

Jinro : I thought today was the hardest day but I made it through. Now I aim to win.

Q : You don't have your personal ceremony...

Jinro : Chris 'HUK' Loranger said he would do a ceremony for me if I win this season.

Q : oGsMC said that new maps favour Terran, how do you think about that?

Jinro : He told me they favour Protoss! He either lied to me or lied during the interview! (laughs) [MC only said about Cravasse. This interviewer is on something]

Q : There are other emerging big leagues other than GSL. Any plans to participate them?

Jinro : I want to concentrate on GSL for now. If they are hosted in Korea or near Korea like China then I plan to participate. But only if they don't clash with GSL schedules.

Q : Any last words?

Jinro : I thank all oGs teammates who help me practising and coach Park. Also I thank all fans in Korea and outside Korea.

Check

Q : Tell us how you feel advancing in the next round

Check : Very good. Mostly for not needing to do up/down matches

Q : You had a revenge match against Rainbow. When did you predict the victory?

Check : When his early aggression was over, I thought I won

Q : You advanced after beating Polt who is your teammate

Check : Polt did really well recently, I guess he had a bad day today. I feel sorry as we are in the same team

Q : What was the hardest part while practicing?

Check : Nothing too drastic as I only needed to prepare for ZvT. But I was stressed while practising against bunker rushes.

Q : What do you think about the new format of the round of 16?

Check : I think it's better for players as they only need to concentrate on one opponent

Q : As a Zerg player, what is your impression on the new maps?

Check : I do not think Zerg is not that favoured because of the new maps. But they are better than ladder maps as I don't choke myself. New maps are bigger so it is better for Zergs to get into good ground positions for battles. But still Terran is strong.

Q : If you predict your results in this season...

Check : I feel good. My win rate against Terran is getting better. My ladder ranking has stably stayed in high ranks so I guess I am improving. I want to win.

Q : Who do you want to face in the next round?

Check : oGsNaDa. He is popular and all so it should be fun

Q : Former Warcraft 3 progamers seem to be having hard time

Check : That is true but me and Jun Park are both improving. Moon also plays very well but he does not do his best during broadcasted matches.

Q : Any shout outs?

Check : I thank the owner of SaBaSaBa Chicken outlet in Gasan Dong

Nada
[image loading]
Q : How do you feel winning to the next rounds?

Nada : Feel little bit numb as I was not confident about today. I think I was lucky today

Q : Why were you not confident?

Nada : I could not get enough practices done. On top of that facing one of my team mate always worries me. Personally I would've thought going into the rounds of 16 with the second place in the group is still extremly well done.

Q : Your game play was very clean today

Nada : Was able to pull that in the short term period. Lately Terran uses marines with tanks which is the style that I personally like. Trying not to worry about the result helped me I guess.

Q : Who do you want to face in the next rounds?

Nada : Both Check and Jinro are really hard to face against but I would rather face with Check. I haven't had a game with Zerg for a long time and he plays a very fun style.

Q : What's your opinion on the change of the format?

Nada : I used to like tournaments rather than full league style, so I like it.

Q : You will stay in Code S

Nada : That reduces my burden a bit. But I do feel sorry for TOP

Q : What's your goal in this season?

Nada : I always got eliminated in the rounds of 8. So I want to be in the semi finals.

Q : You are studying at the university while progaming. What's your goal for uni?

Nada : I did not get good grades last semester. So I will try hard studying as well and get my average weighted grades to 3

Q : Any shout outs?

Nada : I thank all my fans who always support me. I thank coach and the director of the team. Maka helped me lots so I would like to say thanks.

HongUn
[image loading]
Q : Congratuation! how does it feel?

HongUn : I did not show good games against Terran lately. I am happy that I showed better games today. I don't know how to express my feelings in words

Q : Did you prepare for 6 warp gates rush on the first game?

HongUn : I decided to use that build after I saw his command centre. So it was just a counter build.

Q : Your use of Colossi in the second game was outstanding

HongUn : I think theBest put his Vikings too forward so I could take the benefit of that. So I could save my Colossi.

Q : Who would you want to face in the next round?

HongUn : Check is my teammate and we know each other well so I want to face Jinro

Q : What's your goal for this season?

HongUn : Looking back now how I said I want to win the tournament last season even makes me laugh at myself. There are so many people on ladder who are really good and I think I know myself better now. So I am happy that I am in the rounds of 16.

Q : Are you not undervaluing yourself too much?

HongUn : I am sure that not every players would feel like me but after being in the up/down matches I am just glad that I am in the rounds of 16. When you are in Up/Down matches you sensor some sort of alerts. Code S is the tournament with 32 best players . Saying winning the tournament by beating all players sounds bit cocky to me, at least for now.

Q : Any last words?

HongUn : I left Prime house and practising at home recently. My parents support me and look after me I thank them very much. I also thank Clide and Alive. There was a fan who gave me a hand made Stalker with papers, told me that something for me was inside that Stalker. It is really well made paper Stalker so I did not have guts to open it yet. I am keeping it as it is for now. I really thank that particular fan.

I imagine he was just joking around. These things don't come through too clearly in doubly-translated transcripts.

Nice ^^. Do that mean that Jinro is going to make millions being a professional poker player after his sc2 career ends? :p
