Group A

Winner:

(P)Liquid'HerO

[image loading]

Q. You're through to the Ro16. Any thoughts?
A. Since it was my first time playing at the Yong-san stadium, I was very nervous. I'm very happy to have overcome that to reach the Ro16 with my 2 wins.

Q. How were the games?
A. I had some trouble loosening up my hand during the first set because I was so tense. I made a few mistakes in assigning units to control groups. Still, the winners match played out surprisingly well. I had experience playing against MarineKing in international tournaments, and have beaten him before, so I was quite confident going into the game.

Q. Since this is SC2's inaugural year as a WCG event, you must be very determined to do well.
A. After dropping out of GSL (Code A) early, I was only looking forward to the WCG and giving my absolute best. I will continue to do my hardest for future matches.

Q. The new patch came out a couple of days ago. Did it affect your games in any way?
A. I haven't played that many games after the patch, but I feel like the infestor nerf has made PvZ a lot less difficult. Also, I really like the shield buff for the warp prism.

Q. Any further thoughts?
A. My poor showing in the GSL must've disappointed my fans. I want to show better games in the WCG. I would like to thank Team Liquid's manager Victor (Nazgul) and the schedule manager Robin (Bumblebee), as well as manager oGsTheWind, coach oGsGon, and oGsJookTo for accompanying me to the stadium.

Q. Your thoughts on making it to the Ro16?
A. The last game was very difficult, but I came back after focusing on defending. Feels like it took ten years off my life.

Q. Is this your first time playing at the Yong-san stadium?
A. In the qualifiers I played in the subsidiary stadium, and this was my first time at the main stadium. The facilities were better than I thought it would be.

Q. This is SC2's first year as a WCG event.
A. I've yet to win any prestigious tournaments. I am eager to become the first champion of WCG SC2. However, my first goal is to win WCG Korea.

Q. All in all, how were the games?
A. My first opponent Jjun is known for his unconventional play. I expected him to use some unusual strategy. I was a little flustered since it was the first time I've faced this particular one, but I remained calm and held it off well.

Q. You must be disappointed with how the winner match played out.
A. HerO uses phoenixes quite often, but I just didn't deal with them very well. The mistakes stacked up and that's why I think I lost.

Q. The deciding game was nail-bitingly close.
A. I was pretty relaxed when I was practicing for the game. However, when I realised he wanted to bust me with zerlings and banelings, I knew it would be hard to hold on. Nevertheless, I kept my focus and managed to turn things around.

Q. Any resolutions for the Ro16?
A. There is a month-long gap until the Ro16. I will practice thoroughly and perform well to win. Finally, I want to thank TSL.MinSeOk for helping me practice. (T/N: Apparently MinSeOk is part of IM according to TLPD. Either that hasn't been updated yet or MKP was talking about TSL.Heart and the original article just misspelt his name).

Group B

Winner:

(T)SlayerS'Taeja

[image loading]

Q. How does it feel to advance on to the Ro16?
A. It feels good. (T/N:...............)

Q. Did you expect to go through in first place?
A. I always play with confidence whoever the opponent is, so I did think I would go through with 2 wins.

Q. How do you rate your performance today?
A. In the first game, because the equipment setting was different than usual, I didn't play my best. However, in the second game, I think I adapted to a certain degree and displayed my true abilities.

Q. Did you check the map before the winners match?
A. I saw the live broadcast yesterday so I knew about it. (T/N: Little unclear as to what this about. I think the interviewer is asking whether he knew the map was the correct/wrong version before the match, but Taeja seems to think he was asked whether he knew which map the winners match was on. Interviewer seems to let that pass.)

Q. This is SC2's inaugural year as a WCG event. What are your ambitions?
A. I really want to be one of the representatives of Korea. I'll also do my best to win the Grand Finals as well.

Q. Any resolutions before the next match?
A. I'll prepare diligently and makes sure I win.

Q. Do you have anything else you wish to say?
A. I want to thank SlayerS'Jessica and SlayerS'BoxeR for always supporting me.

Q. How does it feel to advance to the Ro16?
A. I was worried because my group was difficult, but now I'm happy that I'm one step closer to representing Korea.

Q. There were some twists and turns in your path to the next round.
A. I was a little shaky today, but I just approached the game with the thought that SlayerS'Taeja would have a harder time.

Q. How do you rate your performance?
A. I was supply blocked a few times and had some difficulty assigning control groups to my units and locations.

Q. There was a delay due to the map choice after the winners match.
A. I didn't spot the mistake as well, but since I lost the game, I'm don't feel it was unfair. I understand the situation since this is OGN's first time broadcasting SC2. I hope these problems don't surface again and the rest of the tournament runs smoothly.

Q. What is your goal for the tournament?
A. Of coure to win it.

Q. Any race or specific players that might give you trouble in reaching that goal?
A. TvZ is the most difficult for me. (T/N: LOL) There are a few players as well, but I'll keep that close to my chest.

Q. The tournament adopts a Round-robin system from the Ro16.
A. I think the games will cause a few headaches. I personally prefer a standard (elimination) tournament system.

Q. Any last thoughts?
A. I want to thank manager FXO.choya and the people involved with the team. I wish that my teammates find similar success in future WCG matches. Group C has two of them together, and I hope they can both advance.

Group G

Winner:

(T)MVPsC

[image loading]

Q. Your thoughts on making it to the Ro16 with the 2 wins?
A. When I first saw my group, I was a little anxious because they're good players. I'm very happy to have progressed with the 2 wins.

Q. How was the first match?
A. I decided to go with an impromptu pressure play, which won the game for me very easily.

Q. You faced the strongest protoss player MC in the winners match. (T/N: I guess the interviewers is going by achievements and not current form)
A. I had 2 or 3 timing windows where I could've ended the game, but it didn't work out my way. I got somewhat distracted by many thoughts after that, but I'm happy I was able to finally close out the game.

Q. Was the strategy you used in that match something you had prepared beforehand?
A. I was originally aiming for a safe macro game, but when I scouted the late assimilator by MC, I decided to increase my barracks count and pressure with just marines. I wasn't expecting it to end the game.

Q. This was your first match at Yong-san.
A. It was wonderful. I was an amateur in BW, but as a SC2 progamer, I got the opportunity to play here. It was great, and the soundproofing was especially impressive. Even though the commentary team was very close, I was amazed to find that I couldn't hear a thing.

Q. You're the last MVP player standing.
A. My teammates are very good, but they couldn't make it through the qualifiers. I'll do my best to do their share as well, and produce good results.

Q. Your goal for this WCG?
A. Of course to win the Grand Finals.

Q. Are there any players you're particularly wary of?
A. I'm facing MVP in the Ro16 which will be my biggest hurdle.

Q. Any last thoughts?
A. I'd like to thank my practice partners, and my family who are watching this on TV, for cheering for me.

Q. How does it feel to make it through to the Ro16?
A. I've been losing a lot lately, so I'm relieved to have made it through today. I'm leaving the country today for international events, so I'll do best to produce good results as well as prepare for the Ro16.

Q. You qualified after having to play out the final deciding match.
A. I was expecting to go through 2-0, but lost concentration in the winners match. I regained my focus for the decider, and played it out calmly for the win.

Q. Your entrance was not walled off in that game.
A. I built my forge quite early after seeing the 6 pool (T/N: I haven't watched the games, so I don't know if MC scouted the 6 pool and put down the forge early or if he expected it and did it blindly), but because the entrace is wide, I made mistakes in walling it off.

Q. Why do you think you've been slumping lately?
A. When I was doing well in the past, I used aggressive playstyles to dictate the games. A lot of those have been figured out recently, and the fact I adopted a more passive style encouraged my opponents to try risky strategies.

Q. There are a lot of terrans in the Ro16.
A. Looking at the groups, there's even one with 4 terrans in it, so it's to be expected. Out of the 15 terrans in the Ro32, I think around 10 will advance.

Q. Are you confident in your PvT?
A. Unlike other protoss players, I find PvZ hard and PvT easy. I hope zerg players don't advance. However, I do have a good record against (Z)July, so I do want him to make it through.

Q. It's been a while since you've been to Yong-san stadium.
A. I rode on the elevator to the 9th floor, and the air sure is different up here. I was very nervous when I played my BW proleague matches here, and was nervous up to the winners match today. I'll prepare well for the Ro16.

Q. Your resolutions for this WCG?
A. WCG is an international tournament, and I have confidence in the fact that I have the most experience in that area. I'll use that when playing against the non-korean players, to reinforce the image that Korea is the best at Starcraft.

Q. (T)fOrGG recently joined your team.
A. He's different from the image from his televised appearances. He's actually very nice. It's still a little awkward since we haven't officially trained together, but he's a very solid player and we can expect a lot from him.

Q. Any last thoughts?
A. My mother and girlfriend have been worrying a lot for my sake, so I'm happy to have won and saved face. (T/N: Not as petty as it sounds. More to do with not shaming your family & friends with failures. It's very important in Korea & the orient). (T)oGsTheStC didn't make it through and I hope he doesn't take it too hard. I also want to conquer the SC2 scene together with (T)fOrGG. Finally, I would like to thank the fans who've supported me through twitter.

Q. Your thoughts on making it to the Ro16?
A. It's been a while since I've played at Yong-san stadium. I'm happy to have won my group, but I also feel a little uneasy over the teamkill in the winners match.

Q. You faced your former teammate Ganzi in the first game.
A. It's regretful since he and I have been close friends for a long time, but I needed the win today.

Q. What were your impressions of the new computers?
A. It was very good. I was impressed during the games. I had heard that the test runs went well after upgrading the machines, so I played without any worries.

Q. How do you rate your own performance today?
A. Too many thoughts were going through my head during practice, which made it difficult. However, I was able to play comfortably once I got going. I was a little worried, because due to the recent patch, a lot of terran strategies have become viable again.

Q. What are your goals?
A. My aim is to win WCG. Also, because it's been a while since I've been here at Yong-san, I'll work hard to continue winning.

Q. Does it feel very different to play here?
A. I've played here before, but it was a new experience today. I feel like there's been a lot of improvements on things like soundproofing and general facilities.

Q. Any final thoughts?
A. I'd like to thank my terran practice partners. It's become quite chilly lately, so please take care of yourselves. I would also like to see my teammate Happy advance in 2nd place.

Q. How does it feel to advance to the Ro16?
A. Before I came here today, I had a lot of worries. Luckily, I was able to advance with my teammate MVP, which makes me happy (T/N: Sorry, couldn't resist). I'll work hard for the Ro16 matches as well.

Q. Were you satisfied with your performance?
A. I don't think I played very well today. I got a little extra nervous because it was on the big stage, and only showed like 50% of what I'm usually capable of.

Q. How was your game against MVP?
A. I didn't make any big mistakes, so it was a decent game.

Q. Have you played at Yong-san stadium before?
A. I have not. It does stand out from other venues. The player's seat felt more cozy since you could look down at the spectators' seats.

Q. It was the first round of matches with the new equipment. How was it?
A. Maybe because it had top of the line specs, but it was so good that I wanted to take it home.

Q. Your goal for this tournament?
A. I'll prepare diligently and survive until the very end. I'll give it my all to win.

Q. Anything else you'd like to say?
A. I'd like to thank my teammates Mvp, dreamertt, and Yoda for helping me practice. I'd also like to thank the manager for accompanying us to the venue.

His games were pretty sick, especially the one against MarineKing. Epic phoenix/gateway play vs MKP's bio. It is must watch - just head over to GOM, buy the $5 AoL ticket if you haven't already, and watch the WCG games for free.

Thanks for this. I´m kinda sad that MKP got 2nd again, it must be hard to be the 1st person in the King line in SC2, but Hero played pretty well in that game and it was pretty close so I am not unhappy.

Gogo MKP win it all!

Very entertaining games from this group. I especially loved Hero vs. marineking, i didn't think Hero was going to pull that one out. He definitely looked as tense as he said he was. Way to push past it Hero!

Watching these games was one of the most enjoyable experiences i've had so far in SC2. I dunno what it was, but some of the magic from BW was regained when it was played at the Yong-san stadium. The magic that GSL doesn't quite have.

Oh shit, I just realized MKP came second again... Sick

Awesome interviews! It's like as if there is alot of prestige and progamer acceptance in playing in the Yong-san eSports stadium, very cool to here. It's not everybody who gets to play there, it's almost a goal itself to be able to play on that stadium

Apparently this audience was considered big as WCG was never really popular in Korea.

More than your average day at GOM but still sparse.

People were saying that the crowd was actually impressive enough considering Korean fans don't follow WCG as much due to it being a one-sided beatdown in favour of Korea in BW days.

But yeah being a Korean gamer is very imba. If you're a non-korean gamer you have to balance your game playing with earning money and your real life. If you're Korean you just sit around playing games all day eating 2 cent ramyun and becoming gosu.

Thanks for the translations. I fucking loved OGN broadcasting these games, and the games were awesome to watch as well.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

They are on GOMTV if you have a pass for any of their leagues. Tyler and others restreamed it so the VODs might still be there

MKP being runner-up again :D
Nice interviews, though they were very short and as always when a korean gets interviewed, didn't give a lot of information.
I hope Hero makes it far, would be nice to see atleast one toss representing korea.

No close positions I think.

Gumiho played really well in his games. I feel really bad for Nestea because I wanted him to win but oh well his play looked pretty mediocre.

Guess this is as good a place to put this as any.
+ Show Spoiler [Post match interview] +


<@Kimoleon> this needs to transition into, lol 18
<@Kimoleon> 19*
<@Kimoleon> interview time
<@Kimoleon> new corner by OGN
<@Kimoleon> it is nice and fresht o see you MVP

<@Kimoleon> mvp - hello my name
<@Kimoleon> your thoughts on winning? did you predict your wins?
<@Kimoleon> MVP - first, I am happy going up, when I practice it's hard to practice TvT, happy to go up
<@Kimoleon> Q - When mvp says this, it is weird when you say that, isn't it for you?
<@Kimoleon> MVP - TvT, if you lose 1 hangbang battle, it can go either way, so taht's why
<@Kimoleon> After hellions get nerfed.. patch notes, did TvT get too hard to do for you??
<@Kimoleon> what do you need to do to prepare for TvT?
<@Kimoleon> MVP - if you watch ALL the TvT builds and copy their builds, you can surprise current players with those builds
<@Kimoleon> You are now SC2's
Flash, being called right now, (by twitter Hyunhee) you must answer
<@Kimoleon> MVP - in SCBW, I was nervous in matches, so I coudln't show 10% of my skills, now with the experience from SCBW, now I can show it in SC2
<@Kimoleon> (rofl 10%)
<@Kimoleon> LOL
<@Kimoleon> MVP - I used 60% today
<@Kimoleon> funny question in twitter
<@Kimoleon> Q - You looked a lot actress Yoo In Na, and gagman Jung Tae Ho, which one do you think you look like more?
<@Kimoleon> Marine - lol if I see your face with Yoo In Na... it conflicts too much with my fantasy of her
<~nanashinktfingerboom> This question is broke!
<@Kimoleon> MVP - I hear I look a lot like Free or .. (didn't hear 2nd one)
<@Kimoleon> What kind of a race is Terran?
<@Kimoleon> MVP - Terran was the OP{ race,, now with patch notes.. now mortal
<@Kimoleon> any advice for terran users against toss?
<@Kimoleon> MVP - Protoss has a hard timing to block which they block with immortals, you should use scvs to punchbag and fight against them
<@Kimoleon> (interesting)
<@Kimoleon> MVP - when I played first game, I thought was seriously behind, I feel good coming back
<@Kimoleon> Marine - the supply difference in SC2, if you play well... it is easy to fight back
<@Kimoleon> MVP - in TvT, it is hard to know who is ahead, unless one terran controls a main area like natural's front
<@Kimoleon> what do you feel about terran
<@Kimoleon> MVP - I started terran saying it was strong, but they continuously get nerfed, seeing so many good terran players, I see that Terran is a bit OP
<@Kimoleon> anything you want to say about the race? any points
about the TvT matchup?
<@Kimoleon> MVP - in TvT fights, keep your marines in mind always
<@Kimoleon> what do you think about the barracks timing?
<@Kimoleon> (5 seconds increase)
<@Kimoleon> MVP - I have builds prepared, just make another scv to adjust to the rax change
<@Kimoleon> do you use english most for your sc2 units?
<@Kimoleon> MVP - yes, I'm used to the sc bw way of saying units
<@Kimoleon> MVP - I've had Ganzi figured out for 4 years, so he was ... (tough translation) e
<@Kimoleon> yeah when they laughed, hehe
<@Kimoleon> Marine - show your reign continuously in SC2 plz MVP
<@Kimoleon> Um Jae Kyung - shorten your game into 2 phrases?
<@Kimoleon> MVP - I was behind, came back with good medivac use
<@Kimoleon> Marine - so we're going to introduce IM Happy next, after commercials~
<@Kimoleon> oh MISTAKE
<@Kimoleon> Marine - rofl
<@Kimoleon> introduce yourself
<@Kimoleon> IMHappy, 91, I have
a fast birthday... 22 yr old, same as MVP
<@Kimoleon> (korean way of aging, lunar thingy idk exactly)
<@Kimoleon> in Happy, bw, he played in Courage matches
<@Kimoleon> how many did you attack it?
<@Kimoleon> Happy - twice, owned in 1st round (rofl
<@Kimoleon> IM Happy, do you feel like Terran is OP?
<@Kimoleon> (twitter questions troll)
<@Kimoleon> Happy - before I think it was like that , but the nerfs are helping a lot
<@Kimoleon> the terrran players stress, is that the reactions of fans are even if you win, it's because of terran!
<@Kimoleon> (fan reactions)
<@Kimoleon> nowadays, protoss players, going up-toss(upgrades), Terrans are struggling agaisnt it, anyway to battle against it?
<@Kimoleon> Happy - if you just follow upgrades, and launch
good EMP's there is no problem
<@Kimoleon> (he's not looking down on Toss at all btw)
<@Kimoleon> Happy - the hellion nerf... because of it there won't be a mass air-to-air battle
<@Kimoleon> Marine - do you like safer builds? what builds you could have chosen to be better?
<@Kimoleon> Happy - in the beginning I go for safe builds, and then look for opportunities
<@Kimoleon> Happy - in the beginning, I thought he would also be safe, I wanted to win during mid-game
Marine - I wanted to see a mass air battle today, it's a shame, I was also amazed by the player's speed today
<@Kimoleon> Happy - I hope tosses rise up
<@Kimoleon> Happy - I like my TvP the best
<@Kimoleon> Q - this is the first time WCG open for SC2, your goals and comments?
<@Kimoleon> Happy - I am happy to be on this big stage, and hope to go far into the tourny
<@Kimoleon> Marine - going to see MC, Max tomorrrow, plz come over to the OGN studio, thanks for watching

Now you must build the lies you have told. - Looking for Boram JP single trading card, have Jiyeon.

Aww, MVP is so thoughtful. Thanks for the interviews!

Q. Any final thoughts?
A. I'd like to thank my terran practice partners. It's become quite chilly lately, so please take care of yourselves. I would also like to see my teammate Happy advance in 2nd place.

MC was already doing a forge expand before he scouted the 6 pool. He spotted the lings when the forge was about 80% finished and then made a partial wall and lost a fair number of probes to Superstar, enough to make 6 pool worthwhile. It was a really poor defense.
