T/N: These two interviews were done with help from a translator, I think he is decent and knows the game a lot but there might actually be misinterprets, especially the PartinG one, some stuff he said sound indeed fishy to me. But I'm just gonna put it here since I have no way to confirm what exactly they were saying.

Is this your first major individual title? What does this title mean to your career?
Yes, this is my first champion after I switch to SC2, I will remember this tournament all along in my heart.
But I will still stay low since more tournaments will come, I need to prepare better for them.

You defeated both F91 and Toodming 2-0.
Initially I was worried about those 2 players, because I didn't play against them before. But after the first game I realized they are still no match for a Korean player, so I just take it easy and win.

What separates the non-Koreans and the Koreans?
I think maybe the non-Koreans take Starcraft more like a hobby, so they don't practice that much? In Korea progamers practice all day long except for rest and eating.
And we have a more established structure, we have most professional players and tournaments, so eventually we are ahead.

Your goal for BWC? Which players will you take an eye on most?
Stephano and Scarlett. I haven't seen their games yet but I heard they are very strong. My goal for BWC is do my best to reach RO4.

In an interview before WCS Asia you said your weakest matchup is PvZ, and the 2 players you worry most are both Zergs.
I'm not good at playing against Zerg yet, need more preparation and new strategy. But comparing to foreigners I think Koreans are bigger threats.

Why don't you laugh a lot? Even after you won the championship.
(laugh) I'm actually very very happy. But I have to put myself into full force, and concentrate all my body and soul, so even the game is over I can't get back easily.

Your two ids, Sun and Rain are opposite in meanings.
I stopped using Sun already, Rain is my main id now.

A lot of people are talking about you being new Protoss President after MC, and you said you need a title to prove yourself.
I think even now I'm still behind him. The OSL finals are coming up next, if MC beats DRG, and I beat him in the finals, I think I'll be even with him.

Will your salary get raised?
(laugh) I just renewed my contract and set a new salary, so...

Anything more before we're done?
WCS Asia is my first champion title, I hope I can give better and better performances for my fans, thank you all.

How do you feel about your performance this time?
Actually I'm surprised to get a 2nd place.
After seeing the bracket I know it will be hard, so my goal was getting into Top 6. But I kept willing so I aimed higher, sadly I lost to Rain.

You are known as a PvT specialist, but you played a lot of PvPs.
People say I'm a Terran killer, but I think my PvZ and PvP are equally good, I don't feel differences for the lack of Terrans.

You played three highly intense PvPs before the finals. Feeling tired in the final?
I didn't sleep more than three hours everyday since I came to China, I'm not so used to the environment yet. And the games are really really tough, at the last moments I'm really sleepy, so I went to wash my face and continue playing.

You did things like manner nexus a lot this time.
I'm actually an gentle person in real life. In winner's bracket I made some silly mistakes and lost, so my temper caught up then.

There are only four Terrans in BWC as well.
I normally don't prepare a lot for foreign tournaments. As long as I handle the Koreans, the foreigners shouldn't be a problem.

This is the nineth runner-up title for Startale this year (laugh).
(sigh) I feel sorry for my team, every time we say we wanna break the kong curse, but again...
GSL finals is next, our Life will play against Mvp, probably another 2nd place, and it's ten...

How is Life doing now?
Life is so so good now, he is so young and confident. But in team practice I can get head on with him five by five.

Startale is performing well after absorbing ZeNEX.
Our Zergs didn't play well before, but after ZeNEX is in we have a strong Zerg lineup, so our results are significantly better.

You defeated teammate Curious twice.
Well we are good friends and we trash talk a lot every time we meet each other, so I just think "I have to work harder to take him down"(laugh).

Squirtle came to Shanghai as well but his recent slump continues.
He is not in good shape recently, but he can play well in practicing, it's when he is on stage that the problems come. We progamers will eventually meet slumps, but he can't play his best in real matches really concerns me.

Startale will play LG-IM in GSTL next Saturday.
Startale weighs team leagues above everything. And we are historically superior against LG-IM.
If we are in normal shape it will be 5-3 and if we are on fire, expect a 5-1.

Say something to your Chinese fans as we're close to finishing the interview.
One of my friends told me China is a really good country with beautiful cities and delicious food. But I didn't feel China is that good until I'm on this land, I realize my friend is right, China is so great I hope I can play more tournaments in China.
Thanks very much to all the Chinese fans supporting me, (Chinese)我爱你们 (I love you all)!

Startale Forever Kong T_T

Didn't think the curse was that bad...

Edit: I mean it started with GSL Open Season 1...The only times its been broken are when Aphrodite goes to a female tournament that Scarlett's not in, or Bomber's Code A and MLG championship
