Winner of MVP vs July

+ Show Spoiler +


[image loading]
IM_MVP

Q: You've returned to the Code S finals after 4 seasons.
A: I've been hearing “4 seasons” a lot, and it has been a long time. But it feels even longer. Now that I am back in the finals after such a long time, I will definitely seize victory.

Q: You did a proxy 2 rax in the first game. What was your reasoning?
A: I saw that Ryung had practiced this for his games against July. He practiced it but didn't end up using it in the games themselves. I remembered that he had prepared the strategy, and asked him if it would be okay if I used it, and he approved.

Q: In the second game, it felt like Zerg got choked out.
A: Metalopolis has two attack paths, so the player who attacks is put at a disadvantage. If you attack, you can be left open to counterattacks, so I chose to play this defensive strategy.

Q: Your ghost usage was impressive. Did you practice this?
A: In practice, I used ghosts when things started to go into the late game. I saw this pattern emerging in practice and decided to mix ghosts in.

Q: Why don't you use ghosts often?
A: In practice, there are a lot of cases where I am pushed to use them. You might start seeing a lot of big changes in builds. [T/N I guess he's saying there are a lot of situations in practice where using them is good, and more opportunities to use them in live games might start presenting themselves]

Q: You had won every game so far, but then encountered an all-in in the third game.
A: I thought that he might all-in, but I did not expect it at such a fast time. I didn't have time to prepare for the bust. I thought I could stop it, but it came really quickly and I lost in the blink of an eye.

Q: You won by the power of the Thor in the fourth game.
A: IMHappy uses this Thor strategy a lot. I remembered him saying it was good, so I thought I would try it once. It doesn't seem to be a bad strategy.

Q: Your opponent in the finals is OGSTop. Thoughts?
A: When I first started playing Starcraft 2, Top was a top player. When I was first learning to play, I learned a lot from watching him. When I couldn't grasp the game, watching his games was a big help. The games will be interesting.

Q: This is your fourth finals against a Terran.
A: Honestly, I don't especially like meeting Terrans in the finals. I always seem to advance to meet a Terran; usually I advance by beating players of the other races. I'd like to face a player of a different race in the finals. But since I've faced Terran 4 times in Best of 7 matches, I have some experience and this should turn out to be helpful.

Q: You have a jinx where if you advance through the Round of 32, you always win.
A: I think the jinx will continue this time. I feel good. It seems that the Round of 32 is always the most crucial thing.

Q: You have a chance to become the first Terran with 3 titles.
A: When Nestea won his third title, I was in America because of MLG. When I heard Nestea was the first to do so, my stomach hurt and I got envious. This time, I will definitely win my third title, and maybe MC will get jealous and have a stomachache. (laughs)

Q: Anything else you want to say?
A: I want to thank IMHorror, IMTrue, IMNestea, IMMinSeok, CheckPrime, ZenexLife, ZenexTanDongHo [T/N now DignitasTanDongHo], and MVPDongRaeGu for their help in practice. I would also like to thank my parents and my girlfriend for always cheering me on.


Winner of Polt vs Top

+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]
OGS_Top



Q: This is your first Code S finals. Thoughts?
A: I'm still not sure. But the last game was very difficult; I made a comeback win and so I'm really excited. I'll return to the team house very happy.

Q: You struggled against Polt's Bionic play.
A: It was strange, I kept losing fights that I thought I would win. I didn't know Bionic could be that strong. I learned a lot in the games today.

Q: You seemed to play defensively today. Was this a response to your opponent's style?
A: The maps today were good for defensive play, so I prepared a style that suited that. This also seemed to turn out well against Polt's aggressive style.

Q: You got revenge for the Super Tournament semifinals.
A: I tried to forget about it, but I couldn't. I got revenge for that, so I'm glad.

Q: You were up 2:0, but you didn't look comfortable.
A: I had the most confidence in my practice for the third set, so I thought I could win 3:0. But Polt made a lot of good movements, so I lost. After that I was in a poor position in the fourth game, so I kept thinking of the Super Tournament. But even though I was in a poor position, I just focused on turning things around and winning.

Q: In the finals, you will be matched against the winner of MVP vs July. Who would you rather face?
A: I'm confident against Zerg, so I'd like it if July advanced. But if MVP advances, this will be the first time we have met, so it won't be too bad. I feel confident against Terran too.

Q: This will be the first time a Terran on your team makes it to the finals.
A: I would like if the other Terrans see my performance and feel motivated. That way, everyone will work hard and some other Terrans will also make it to the finals. Before this season first started, Nada promised that we would meet in the finals. But Nada didn't advance to the finals, so it's somewhat regrettable.

Q: How will you prepare for the finals?
A: All the teams are on vacation, so practice will be difficult. But our team's Terrans are very good, so I will mainly practice with them.

Q: Anything else you'd like to say?
A: It's been a year since I first started playing. Until now I've struggled, but now I've gotten a chance. I don't want to let this chance pass me by, so I will practice diligently and definitely win the tournament.
I want to thank EGPuma, MVPKeen, TSLAlive, SlayersMMA, IMHappy, and all the players on my team for their help in practice. I would like to thank my parents, coach, and director for cheering me on, and Mom's Touch for their support.

TOP is much better than people have given him credit for, but I still can't see him taking down MVP. Don't know if I have the stomach for TVT finals though.

Thanks. I was pretty surprised to say the least that Polt lost to Top. Was unexpected to me. It definitely made me a TOP fan now though and I'll be rooting for him.

It really sucks that I haven't seen a TOP game in so long, the only one I remember is his embarrassing loss in GSTL on Bel'shir. (Thats probably why I have such a bad image of him). But for him to get this far is no small feat! I hope he wins Code S :D

You should really watch Game 1 of TOP vs Polt, you can catch it free without a season ticket and it's quite an entertaining game. 8)

Nah, Puma is really well known in the Korean starcraft community as he was "the most requested practice partner in Korea for brood war" and Koreans in Starcraft 2 generally were involved in brood war.

Puma is in NA, and EG is using proxys to make lag from Kor to NA nonexistant.

Top's macro level is pretty close to MVP. In TvT he's always try to get 1 base ahead of his opponent. Really nice to see him practice with MMA.

hahahahah I was wondering if anyone would post what I was thinking after I saw that 1st pic. Talk about a MILF.

Congrats to MVP. I think TOP will be his toughest TvT opponent yet.

Yes, and apparently at Manchester to study. Makes me wonder how he practiced with MVP from EU. EU->KR is nigh impossible to play, and both playing NA would make little sense. Maybe he's back in Korea? There's still 2~3 weeks till universities start over here so that could be it.

MVP such a beast.

He's like: I thought I would try out this Thor build, my teammate used it and it seemed cool so I tried it once, IN THE SEMIFINALS OF CODE S.

He doesn't even need to practice, just does builds on the fly for the first time and beats one of the best zergs in the world.

For the sake of Protoss and Zerg, and all other pro players, I TRULY HOPE he meant he wanted to try it once in a tournament setting and had practiced it beforehand...

I know right :D.. My thoughts exactly after i read his interview.

Is it just me or has it felt like TOP was on the verge of a major breakthrough for a long time now? Hopefully he makes this MVP guy look like a one-handed half-blind chimp.

I'm unsure if that was what he actually ment though :p. (He might've just ment that he wanted to try it out in a tournament match, and most likely had played it at least some in practice.)

3:2 MVP. People are forgetting just how good TOP really is, imo. I expect it to be 3:2 either way, but MVP has experiance in finals, so will edge out.

It's a BO7.

MVP basically has TOP's macro and then some. Better micro and better decision-making. We all saw what happened with NesTea vs. Losira when someone great plays against someone not as great.

MVP seems to be good friends with all the terrans, did you see his practice partner list last time? I think it was something like

ST_Bomber,Clide,Alive,PuMa,oGsSuperNoVa,SlayerS_MMA,GanZI,IMYoDa, Ryung

As disappointed as I am in another TvT finals as much as I dislike terran, I do believe MVP is the best player in the world right now, and I can't help but be in awe watching him play. Oh, and he's a great guy to boot. Will definitely be cheering him on.

mvp and bomber are good friends, they always practice/play together

so mvp will definitely have bomber as a practice partner, that much is already certain, probably ryung as well

I've been calling it forever now, Polt isn't that great, but the games he showed today were better than I had seen him play before.

Sad for july, I could see tons of improvement, his creep spread and decision (tech wise) were very good!

Thanks for the translation hope for a finals thats 1/10 as good as the Polt/TOP series.


MVP won the finals as soon as he beat Nestea. (also, curse of bad GSL Code S finals must go on)

Q: Anything else you want to say?
A: I want to thank IMHorror, IMTrue, IMNestea, IMMinSeok, CheckPrime, ZenexLife, ZenexTanDongHo, and MVPDongRaeGu for their help in practice. I would also like to thank my parents and my girlfriend for always cheering me on.

It's not mentioned in the translation, but I think it was funny when Mvp was asked "You have about 6 days to prepare for the finals, what are you going to do?" and he says "I know I got knocked out early in the previous season, so I'm very happy to be back in the finals". Tastosis was trying not to laugh because the answer made no sense since it's doesn't answer what was being asked, then they sarcastically ask each other "What are you going to do after work?" and reply with "I'm very happy to be in the weekend"
