+ Show Spoiler [Winner of Leenock vs Alive] +
Leenock
[image loading]
Source - http://thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=948338&board=&category=13439

Q: You advanced to the Round of 4 easily with three straight wins.
A: I wasn't able to practice much so I anticipated it being hard. But thankfully it seems like I was able to win easily so I'm happy.

Q: Did you anticipate a hidden barracks in your base in the first game?
A: I scouted with a drone and saw that he didn't have any supply depots. So I was reminded of games from long ago with barracks being made in the Zerg's base, so I checked my base.

Q: Alive played mostly strategic games. What do you think of that?
A: He used things that he had been able to practice more than me, so it seems like he tried to play mindgames. I had anticipated games decided by management, so it seems like he did the reverse of my expectations.

Q: In the third game, did you see the SCVs being pulled with your zerglings?
A: I saw with my zerglings. I checked at a really good time. So right away I prepared some spine crawlers.

Q: This is your career first Code S Round of 4. Your momentum from winning MLG is continuing.
A: I'm suddenly in an upward swing so I'm dazed (laughs). But still, being on an upward trend is a happy thing. I have a lot of time to practice for the Round of 4, so I think I will do even better than in the Round of 8.

Q: Your opponent will definitely be Terran. Out of sC and MVP, who would you rather face?
A: I want to face sC. I'm friends with him, and I think he will be easier than the king [T/N the king being MVP I guess]. They are both good players, but MVP has a lot of championships so I think sC will be a little more comfortable to play.

Q: If you advance to the finals, who do you think you would face?
A: I think I would face Oz. Lately his PvT is good. I want to have our team's first teamkill in the finals.

Q: FXO is doing well recently. Was there some motivation?
A: First, life in the teamhouse has become a little more relaxed. Also, it's not me alone who is doing well, but I am doing well along with other teammates, so I think we are having a good result from synergy.

Q: If you have any things you want to say finally, please say them.
A: I thank my team FXO and our sponsor Razor. And I also thank FXO_asd for his help in practice.

MVP

Source - http://thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=948510&board=&category=13439

Q: You've dominated sC and succeeded in advancing to the Round of 4.
A: My condition was really not good today, so I thought the games would be hard, but they were even harder than I thought. But I won with a 3:0 score so I'm happy.

Q: Why wasn't your condition good?
A: I caught a cold, so even before the games started I had a bad headache. The cold was bad so I took some medicine before the games, but I played in a slightly dazed condition.

Q: You played in MLG Providence, were you lacking in practice for GSL?
A: Either way, since sC also played in MLG, it didn't matter much. It seemed like a condition for the match, so I wasn't too conscious of it.

Q: In the second game, you got a victory in a big comeback.
A: The game didn't end, and in my thoughts the possibility of a comeback remained, so I endured. More than thinking I absolutely needed to get a comeback, I wanted to loosen up my hands so I held out, but I was able to get a comeback.

Q: In the third game, after banshees, your opponent attempted an all-in rush.
A: I couldn't have predicted my opponent's strategy. But after I saw all my opponent's buildings with my first scan, I understood his build. Because I practice a lot with sC, I anticipated the attack.

Q: Lately you've been winning a lot of comebacks, do you have some personal know-how?
A: Since Starcraft 1, even if I was at a disadvantage, I tried to lead games into the mid-late game and use management a lot. Since then, this has been my style in that sort of game, so now too I am doing that, but I think it's thanks to good luck that I am able to often win in comebacks.

Q: You'll be matched against the winner of MLG, Leenock.
A: It will be fun. Leenock is a good player, but I want to practice hard and definitely win.

Q: What would you predict the games with Leenock will be like?
A: No matter what, since Leenock is winning recently he will have a lot of momentum, so I can't be careless. It will be a difficult Round of 4, but I think if I can just get past Leenock I will be able to win the tournament.

Q: Was it regrettable not being able to win MLG Providence?
A: I got fourth place and I'm very happy. To be honest, starting from before my match with MC, my ability to focus really dropped off. So I thought I wouldn't be able to advance to a high position, but I beat MC and rose to fourth place. I'm satisfied with my fourth place result.

Q: There are a lot of people comparing you to Starcraft 1's Flash.
A: Since no matter what Flash has defended his spot as the best player for a long time, I think that I'm still not deserving of people called Starcraft 2's Flash. I think in order to approach Flash's career, I will have to work harder.

Q: Anything else you want to say?
A: I thank Happy for his help in practice, and I want to tell Nestea, Losira, and the Director who have gone to America that they have worked hard. In America, the Director and his wife handled food well, so I was able to get along well. I want to thank my parents and girlfriend for cheering for me.

Wait who is the director that MVP is referring to? Is that the IM coach?

Yeah it's the IM coach. Koreans use like a separate word for the head coach guy as opposed to someone like a strategy coach which translates more to manager/director than coach.

MVP seems to have such a negative mindset in all his interviews. "My condition is bad, my hands hurting etc. etc."

Don't get me wrong, he's still my favorite Terran (by far), but I've rarely seen a positive or upbeat interview from him. Even when he wins, he's all negative.

MVP's chronic wrist problems definitely make him feel miserable while playing so that can't be helped. It's tough when you know what to do and how to do it, but you're limited by your hands.

The only edge MVP has these days are his strategy and decision-making, much like Nestea. There are players with better macro (Bomber), micro (sC, MKP), multitasking (MMA), etc. Times will be tough for Nestea and MVP in the future.

Poor Alive. Had the extra practice time to devote against Leenock yet still got smashed 3:0.

Q: Why wasn't your condition good?
A: I caught a cold, so even before the games started I had a bad headache. The cold was bad so I took some medicine before the games, but I played in a slightly dazed condition.


Sick and sedated from medicine? Still win 3-0. That's MVP for you.

Dunno what games you're watching lol. MVP still has at least the 2nd best terran macro in the world, 2nd-3rd best micro and easily has multitasking equavilent too or greater than MMAs.

And, can we stop using the bonjwa word now, since MVP explicitly stated that he needs more sucess before it can be applicable?
