Credit for the translation goes to Moonmeh on /r/starcraft http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/iut23/winner_of_byun_vs_bomber_interview_translated/ for the full translation. Its funny that we all joked about him playing for the dog, but that's actually what he did. I think the teams need to start offering the players better incentives to win £30000 isn't enough. edit: The breed of dog that he's getting is actually usually raised as livestock. Dogs OP. =( Kinda strange the thought of dogs helps him concentrate. :O | ||

His taldarim game against NesTea was pretty good, and against Moon he was far behind because of baneling (or roach can't remember) bust and still managed to go to the lategame... We can't really know who is good in TvZ to be honest. | ||

BTW, this is the kind of dog Byun wants to keep. XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dTfRXXUiH0&feature=player_embedded strangely enough i was smiling throughout the video | ||

Bomber's popular because he's really damn good when he's on his game. Those first two games were delicious. Yet for the next three games, he seems to have tilted. Which isn't an excuse for him, and it's a legitimate fault. But losing in the Ro8 doesn't invalidate the hype. Byun is not bad at all, and I picked him to win on Liquibet. LOOK IT UP. | ||

Just because his TvZ winrate isn't as high as his absurd TvP doesn't make it "mediocre." Anyone who has gone 3-0 vs Losira and has a losing record against only one zerg (Nestea) doesn't deserve this. Because I've actually watched his games, and nothing I've seen of his TvZ has impressed me? And no, I'm not particularly anti-Bomber. If anything, I am quite a Bomber fan and had been hoping for him to take the series, but having a 3-0 record against Losira during that time when Losira's ZvT was shit isn't very impressive. It's only recently that Losira has been improving his ZvT by leaps and bounds but back then, it was absolutely atrocious. It was so atrocious that even now, when he's been getting better at that match-up, his win percentage is still sitting at an amazingly horrible 41%. That's how bad it was in the past. | ||

He and anypro are both not very well known for things other than 4 gate/mass blink stalkers/or 6 gate. Huge surprise seeing Byun in the semis.... why do I have a sneaking suspicion that we're going to see no Z in the finals (a.k.a. HongUn vs. Byun.... the wtf matchup). That or only 1 of the strongest will make it and we'll see yet another 1 sided GSL finals.... | ||
