[EVER 결승]투신 박성준, ”다음 조지명식 때 가장 강력한 테란 선수를 뽑겠다”

[EVER OSL FINALS] Tushin Park Sung Jun "In next season's selection, I will pick the best terran player"

[image loading]

- 3회 우승을 차지하면서 골든 마우스를 획득했다
▲ 전에 인터뷰를 통해서도 말을 했듯이 골든마우스는 우승을 해야 따라오는 것이라고 생각을 했다. 골든마우스를 위해서 우승한 것이 아니었다. 그게 그것이지만 의미는 다소 다른 것 같다. 어쨌든 최선을 다했고, 우승을 해서 기쁘다.

- You obtained the Golden Mouse by winning 3 finals
▲I have previously states in my previous interviews that with wins comes the Golden Mouse. I have not tried to win in order to obtain the golden mouse. It is actually the same thing but I believe the meaning is different. Anyways I tried my best and I am happy that I won.

- 강력한 올인 공격이 돋보였는데
▲ 내가 생각하는 5전 3선승 경기는 실력이 아니라 심리전이다. 그래서 첫 판에 5드론을 준비한 것이다. 내가 결승전에서 두번이나 0:3으로 패배했는데 모두 첫 경기에서 올인 뚫기 공격에 당했다. 그렇게 당하고 나면 정신을 차리지 못했던 기억이 난다. 그래서 오늘 나도 한번 사용해 본 것이다.

-You showed very fear some all-in strategies
▲My belief in best of 5 series is not skill but your mind. That is why I 5-pooled in my first game. I have lost 0:3 in my 2 previous finals through all-in strategies by the opponents. Because of those attacks I remember I was unable to focus. That is why I used it against my opponents this time

- 프로토스에게 매우 강한 모습을 보여주고 있는데
▲ 저그이기 때문에 프로토스에게 강한 것이 아닐까 싶다. 항상 프로토스에게는 강하다고 생각을 해왔다. 말로는 기죽기 싫어서 3:0을 자신했지만 사실은 그렇게 3:0을 자신하지는 않았다(웃음). 프로토스에게 강한 것은 자신감 때문이라고 생각한다.

- You showed very strong match ups against protoss
▲Because I am a zerg player I believe I am strong against Protoss. I have always been strong against protoss. Although I said I was confident in winning 3:0 I really wasn’t (laughs). I believe I am strong against protoss because of my confidence.

- 3경기 안드로메다에서는 다소 불리하지 않았었나
▲ 그렇게 불리하지는 않았다. 하지만 스커지로 커세어를 너무 쉽게 잡았다. 스커지를 그냥 패트롤을 해놓았는데 와서 커세어들이 죽더라. 커세어를 그렇게 잃으면 프로토스는 굉장히 힘들어진다. 리버보다 커세어가 무섭기 때문에 스커지를 더 생산해 제공권을 장악하는데 힘을 썼다.

-In your 3rd match Andromeda weren’t you at a disadvantage?
▲I was not really at a disadvantage. I was able to kill corsairs easily with scourages. I just patrolled my scourages but the corsairs suicided into my scourage. If the protoss has many corsairs it is hard to defeat them. I made many more scourages since corsairs are scarier than reavers.

- 2경기에서 드론 밀치기를 시도했는데
▲ 오늘은 1, 3경기를 준비했고 2, 4, 5경기는 즉흥적으로 할 생각이었다. 2, 4, 5경기에서는 연습 때 너무 많이 졌기 때문이다. 2경기에서 도재욱 선수가 박찬수 선수와 할 때처럼 경기하더라. 그런 빌드는 드론 밀치기에 굉장히 취약하다. 그래서 즉흥적으로 시도했다.

-You attempted a drone-drill in game 2
▲I prepared for game 1 and 3 and did not really prepare for game 2,4, or 5. I lost too many times in maps for game 2,4, and 5. In game 2 of Best vs Luxury, Best’s build was very weak towards the drone drill. This is why I used the strategy.

- SK텔레콤 시절, 도재욱과 5:5 승률을 기록했었다고 말했는데
▲ 그 당시에 5:5가 나왔던 것은 무난하게 흘러갔을 때의 승률이다. 도재욱 선수와는 무난하게 갔다면 승리를 장담할 수 없다. 연습 때 5:5는 맞다. 하지만 오늘 같은 결승전에서는 심리전이 굉장히 중요하기 때문에 내가 다소 유리했던 것 같다.

-During your stay in SK Telecom your record against best was 5:5
▲During that time the 5:5 record would be the result of normal games. If Best played if it were normal games today, I probably would not have won easily. However, today was the Finals where mind-control was very important, which is the reason why I believe I won.

- 웨이버 공시, 2번의 이적으로 힘든 시기를 보내기도 했었다
▲ 안 좋은 일들이 굉장히 많았었다. 그 때는 어린 마음에 게임을 그만둘까 하는 생각도 했었다. 그런데 부모님이 '아직은 아니다, 조금 더 해봐라'고 말씀을 하셨었다. STX로 이적한 이후에 감독님, 코치님, 선수들까지 모두 나를 잘 챙겨줬다. 선수들과도 굉장히 빠르게 친해졌고 게임도 많이하고 운동도 많이 하면서 정말 즐겁게 연습을 했다. STX는 정말 좋고, 코칭스태프도 소문이 난 것처럼 엄하지 않다. 색깔이 나와 잘 맞는 것 같다.

-Because of your 2 waivers, you had a rough time.
▲There were many unfortunate events. I thought of quitting programming at an early age. However, my parents told me “It isn’t the time yet, try a bit more”. After moving to STX, the coaches and the players treated me very well. I quickly befriended my teammates and played numerous games with them. STX is a very nice, the coaching staff isn’t bad as the rumors. I think my personality fits with the team.

- 이번 시즌에 테란을 만나지 않아서 운이 좋았다는 평가를 받기도 한다
▲ 사실 운이 좋았던 것이 맞다. 저그가 테란을 만나지 않았다는 것이 이미 반을 먹고 들어간 상태라고 생각한다. 하지만 그렇게 운이 좋다는 것만 강조하시는 분들은 내가 이긴 선수들을 모욕하는 것과 마찬가지다. 내가 이긴 선수들은 테란을 이기고 올라온 선수들이다. 나를 폄하하는 것은 그 선수들도 폄하하는 것이다. 그래도 솔직히 운이 좋았던 것은 사실인 것 같다.

-People say you were lucky with the lack of terrans in this season
▲To tell you the truth I think I really was lucky. To be a zerg and not meet any terrans is already accomplishing half of your goals. However, to the people who believe I won the OSL because of luck is like insulting the players I have beaten. The players I have beater were players who have beaten terran players. To insult me is like insulting the players I have beaten. I still think that I was lucky.

- 더운 시기에 성적이 좋은 징크스가 있는 것 같은데
▲ 나는 손에 땀이 조금 많이 나야 게임이 잘 된다. 그래서 부스 안에서도 에어컨을 끄고 더운 상태에서 게임을 했었다. 더울 때 게임을 잘하기 때문에 여름에 성적이 좋은 것 같다. 어쩌다보니 July라는 아이디와 비슷한 시기와 우승을 하게 되었다(웃음).
-You have good jinx of winning when it is hot
▲I play well when my hand is sweating. That is why I turn off the air-conditioner in the booth when I play. Because my play is better when it is hot, I believe my records are better too during the summer. I was able to win during the month of July(laughs)

-STX 최초의 개인리그 우승자인데
▲ 절대 부담을 주시지 않는다. 그냥 편하게, 마음 먹은대로 경기를 하라고 말씀을 하신다. 팀에 와서 3개월이 조금 넘었는데 단 한번도 부담을 느끼지 않았고 불편함도 느끼지 않았다. 억지로 하는 것도 없고 모든 것이 자율적이다. 그런 부분들이 나에게 매우 큰 도움이 된다.

-You are the first STX member to win
▲STX does not pressure me on bit. They tell me to relax and play like how I always play. Since the 3 months I been in the team, they have not pressured me one bit. They have not forced me to play, and all my practices were voluntarily. This also helps me to become a better player.

- 다음 시즌에 임하는 각오
▲ 항상 자신감은 최고다. 하지만 우승을 한다고 해서 떨어지면 조금 우스운 상황이 되게 된다. 일단은 테란들을 많이 꺾고 싶다. 다음 조지명식 때 가장 강력한 테란 선수를 뽑겠다. 그래도 우리 팀인 진영수를 뽑기에는 무리가 있다. 진영수에게는 많이 패배하고, 저그전을 정말 잘한다.

-Your next season’s goal
▲Confidence is always the best. However if you lose horribly after winning, it becomes a troublesome situation. First, I want to beat a lot of terran players. In the next selection, I would like to pick the strongest terran. However, I cannot pick my teammate Hwasin. I have lost too many times to Hwasin, and his TvZ match-up is too good.

- 마지막으로 한마디
▲ 코앞에 있는 목표는 내일 이겨서 우리 팀이 프로리그 준플레이오프에 가는 것이다. 그리고 프로리그 우승을 위해 노력할 것이고, 스타리그 2연속 우승에도 도전하겠다. 나는 다시 우승을 했지만 최고라고 생각하지 않는다. 예전과는 다른 마인드다. 조금 더 배워야하는 때라고 생각하고 다음 시즌에 또 우승을 해야 완벽하다고 생각한다. 임요환, 이윤열 선수와 같이 모두가 인정해주는 프로게이머가 되고 싶은 것이 장기적인 목표다.

-Your last words
▲My next goal is to win tomorrows Proleague playoff game. I will practice harder to win the proleague and also try to win next season’s OSL. Although I have won, I do not think I am the best. It is different from what I previously thought. I believe I have more to learn and try to win next season. I will be perfect if I win next season. My ultimate goal is to be recognized with players such Boxer and Nada.

What a class act. I only discovered starcraft last fall, when July was slumping, but I watched many of his older vods and chose to play zerg (poorly) because of him.

Then I found some old interviews he had given, and his understanding of the game was so impressive yet humble, 'Predicting that he would become less dominant as people came to understand his style of play'. Now he promises to choose a strong terran, his worse matchup. His love for the game and competition is beautiful.

Thanks to Klazart for helping me discover so many players, July included. Seeing him succeed now is incredible.

He's a real champion, even if I wanted Best to win. Also of note, I do hope he manages to take a few games from Hwasin in the near future. : p

Respect. The thing that really stood out was him saying that saying that he won because of luck is like insulting his opponents. Shows how much of a class act he is.

Just by saying these two things, you are already recognized with players such Boxer and Nada in my book. Job well done July! What a victory!

Excellent interview and July shouldn't worry! He's already one of the best zerg players of all time.

He was very well prepared for BeSt.

He doesn't think he is recognized with the likes of BoxeR and NaDa? If he really wasn't before, then he is now with the fact that he's the most successful progamer in the OSL ever and the Golden Mouse. This win will probably boost July to maybe even win the next OSL/MSL. I want to see a NaDa vs. July OSL final for the fourth OSL badge.

He is saying that he was lucky to not face any terran, but he did not win the OSL due to luck. The difference, of course, is that you could argue that even if he faced terran, he had a fair chance of winning the OSL regardless, aside from the potential pitfalls of Hwasin and Flash. But if he won because of luck, that's saying he didn't deserve to win, instead lucking out, which, as he said, would also be an insult to everyone he beat. The latter case is more-or-less what people are saying about Backho. And that sort of thing is what July took offense to.

His insights show that he wasn't trying to "cheese" and "luck out" in the finals. He had strategic reasons for doing risky builds, especially since he detected a weakness in BeSt's early game on Troy. God of War indeed!

-During your stay in SK Telecom your record against best was 5:5
▲During that time the 5:5 record would be the result of normal games. If Best played if it were normal games today, I probably would not have won easily. However, today was the Finals where mind-control was very important, which is the reason why I believe I won.


?

Is this practice record or SKT internal tournaments or what ? I find it hard to believe they only played 10 practice games alltogether during Julys time there, and also that they track records of practice games. They havent met in any official leagues before this final.

Thank you very much for the interview Fantasy, really appreciated
Live2Win is awesome. Happy new year scarabi!

dno it seems like a korean tradition to measure things based on 10 games, i'd interpret that as 50% winrate

Great interview!
I like how July has managed to convince us here that:
he kicks ass
he is a good person
he doesn't win by lucky cheese but through strategy

So many people favoured Best (even though liquibet favoured July, a lot of those votes were out if hope, not conviction). It's great that this 3-0 victory proves the nay-sayers wrong!

Wait, so...

was something lost in translation here?

because p > t, and he didnt have to fight t. so he only fought p, his zvp is good so hes lucky.

He doesn't think he is recognized with the likes of BoxeR and NaDa? If he really wasn't before, then he is now with the fact that he's the most successful progamer in the OSL ever and the Golden Mouse. This win will probably boost July to maybe even win the next OSL/MSL. I want to see a NaDa vs. July OSL final for the fourth OSL badge.

A Nada vs July OSL Grand Final would easily be the most awesome thing to ever happen. I think it's possible too, given how July came back, and Nada's come back a dozen times too. Both are just such great players it's incredible. Easily my favourite Zerg/Terran of all time.

Whah, respect. Nice to see his take on the whole mind-game part, and the interview exudes maturity. Glad to see he found a warm nest at STX.

He use anything new per say.

Everyone knows about 5 pool, drone drill, etc. It's just he used it in the finals brilliantly.

Come to think about it many players have used a few all-in/cheese builds to win it as he stated to gain a psychological advantage.

Comes down to how use the maps strategically and studying your opponents builds.

i found it really interesting that he was saying that he learned that breaking down your opponent in early rounds can lead to victory through personal experience in his 0:3 really showed experience helping him i was truely impressed that he took something like that away from an osl defeat and used it to help him gain another title
OMG you nasty gurl

Respect, humour, humility, confidence, July gave it all!

I was cheering for Best but if there was a time to lose it was this OSL.

Thanks for the translation!

Frankly speaking July is so calm during the matches and mature in the interview!

You are already one of the great players in history!
