How do you feel about winning the championship?
I am so happy that I can’t put it in words but I’m also that exhausted. I want to thank my family and friends for coming to cheer me on all the way from Busan and I want to thank the many fans that came to the finals. I honestly think I was able to win the championship this season because so many fans cheered for me. I really want to thank them for that.
When you were talking about what it meant to you to win the championship you started getting teary. What were you feeling?
I received a ton of help to get all the way to the finals. I received a lot of help from the head coach, coach Ju, and my teammates but I failed to actually express my gratitude. I’ve never expressed myself like this before but I want to say everything I’ve been wanting to say since I won the championship.
Everything I said up on stage was true and sincere from my heart. I felt so bad about the fact that I never properly thanked my teammates for training so vigorously with me as if it was their own training sessions and the fact that coach Ju guided me every step of the way. So I think that’s why I got emotional up on stage.
You seemed so calm and composed during the pre-game interview.
I was booming with confidence during practice so I didn’t want to pretend to be modest in the outside world. I also wanted to motivate myself to do my absolute best. Everything I said just came out naturally because I was feeling so confident.
Even though it probably wasn’t easy, how did you prepare for an opponent like Symbol?
I took to heart the semifinals match that Symbol had against Curious. I’m certain that he prepared even more extensively for the finals than he did for the semifinals. But things were still flowing the way I wanted them to so the games progressed easily. Honestly though, the biggest reason as to why I was able to win was because I made sure to fix whatever areas I was lacking in and I also made sure to understand all of my teammates’ basics.
Game one was really important. How come you were able to take game one?
I remembered a past match where I had lost in game one so I decided to just approach this game one with a comfortable mindset. I told myself that there was no way I was going to lose after I won game one. But I was the player with the disadvantage. Mainly because Symbol did not play the way I expected him to for games one and two. Thanks to that, the games did not flow very well. But Symbol never capitalized on his advantages and allowed me to bring myself back into the match so I played passively while making sure I won all the battles.
Ever since your debut in 2008 with WeMadeFOX, this is your first ever championship victory.
I had never gotten past the Ro16 of an individual tournament nor had I ever performed well in Proleague. I told myself that I was just an average player. But after I won the championship today I started thinking about everything that I put myself through to get here. The biggest reason as to why I got so emotional today was because I remembered all the difficult times I had to endure to get to this point.
When you first debuted, it was through a GOMtv Classic tournament. How do you feel about winning the championship on the same network that you debuted on?
I think it is a really amazing coincidence. I can’t help but think this championship was a gift from above. Five years ago, I played in that tournament whilst knowing nothing about what was to come. But now that I was able to win a championship like this the feeling is so new and so many things just keep going through my mind.
Everything was going really well up till game three but games four and five did not go the way you wanted them to. You especially got decimated in game four because of nydus worms.
It’s not like I dropped my guard after I won game three. But I did start to lose focus. The nydus strategy that Symbol used for game four was something that I had used before during practice so it was a huge mistake that I didn’t scout thoroughly enough. That loss was really lame on my part and I figured that things would only get more and more difficult for me as the series kept on progressing. But I think I was able to win since Symbol also made a lot of critical mistakes.
Was it a prepared strategy that for games two and three you only showed your expansion and then hid the fact that you weren’t getting more drones and preparing for an aggressive attack?
The scenarios that came out for games one and two were scenarios that I never experienced during practice. I had no choice but to react through improvisations. I won game one because I used my brood lords well and I won game two because I improvised well with my movements. Game three was all about hitting him where it hurt and the build order I used was learned from Hydra. I want to take this moment to thank Hydra.
Your aspirations as a champion?
I am disappointed that WoL is now over. I wish I could have played it a little more but now it’s time for me to focus on HotS. Unfortunately for me, even though everyone’s going to be starting over from scratch, I’m going to be even more behind. It’s not going to matter that I won a championship because I’m going to have to work even harder. I’m going to have to learn HotS step by step while starting from a very low position.
You stated that you would win by a score of 4-2 and you made that come true. Did you say what you said because you knew you were going to win 4-2?
I stated that I would win by a score of at least 4-2 during the semifinals and I was right then too. I stated that I was going to win by a score of 4-2 for the finals cause I figured I would lose game one, lose another game somewhere during the six games, but ultimately win the series by taking four victories before a game seven could occur. I somehow luckily guessed the score right.
If you get to another finals, who would you like to face?
It’s going to be HotS so I can’t really say a specific player I would like to face but I would like to play a different match up than this one.
What is the first thing you’re going to do when you get back to the team house?
We have plans to go out and eat after the finals. I have plans to eat a ton of great food and once that’s over I am going to spend some time with my family who came all the way up from Busan. Also, if there’s time, I want to meet up with my friends and treat them to a delicious meal.
Did you have any happy dreams during all this?
While GSL was going on, I didn’t get to sleep properly till around the semifinals. I kept thinking about my upcoming games even in my dreams. I realized that I was lacking practice. I would go to sleep at five and then wake up at seven and I got the thought that I hadn’t practiced enough to merit sleep. I just wanted to get this done and over with and the fact that I won this championship so eagerly was a huge source of strength. But now I am exhausted.
Anything else you would like to say?
I want to thank my teammates and coaches for sticking with me through to the very end. While I was preparing for the finals, the head coach and coach Ju would always get me the proper practice partners I needed and fed me whatever I wanted to eat. I am so grateful to them for that. I also want to thank the T1 practice partners for staying up with me until four or five in the morning just diligently practicing as if it was their own matches they were preparing for. I also want to thank all my fans who cheered me on.
I always showed a very confident side of me during interviews and that was because I just didn’t want to put on a fake performance but rather I just wanted to keep my word and do the absolute best that my body would allow. I am so happy and proud of myself that I was able to keep my word. I promise that I won’t allow this one championship to get to my head and will practice diligently and persistently for HotS so I hope the fans will continue to heavily cheer me on.

The new trophy looks kind of odd.
Roro seems extremely happy, hopefully this interview will put an end to the idea of " BW players don't care about GSL ".
|
Sweet!! roro is great :D
Yay for Khan >:D
|
cant even merit 2 hours of sleep O.o
|
waiting for it all day
so many passion by roro.
|
RORO! KHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!
It must mean a lot to RorO to finally clutch an individual tournament after being around for five years as a progamer. Hell, he even himself thought he was only an average player.
|
Really nice Interview, Roro has a lot of passion ^_^, made me a fan of him, hopefully he will be able to transition fast into hots so he wins many tournaments ^^
|
i didn't stay up to watch, cause zvz, but i'm happy for roro. the kespa players have arrived to destroy us all
|
What a badass grats to him and hope to see some sick hots builds from him :D

It's never been about the players not caring (because they obviously do a lot), but rather their management not caring, what with all the "SPL comes first" enforcement and "I had no time to prepare for the GSL" and such that's common to many, many, many interviews (even for the trainees who never get fielded in the SPL anyway LOL), along with the whole GOM vs. KeSPA tensions that exist and the drama and lasting implications surrounding that season where they said they were skipping the GSL entirely.
|
What a good season for Samsung KHAN, Stork, Jangbi, now Roro. Guess who's next? My head says Shine since there's Hydralisk speed upgrade in HOTS lol.
PS: GSL really should design better trophies in HOTS, those dildo shaped trophies look so wrong when the players are kissing it.
|
I'm fucking disapointed Symbol, fucking disapoint  Had u won I would have also won T.T
RorO is still a nice guy and I'm still happy he won. Kinda.
|
gj roro, nice to see players who have been a progamer for so long finnaly get an important championship

Thanks Seeker! Happy for RorO, sad for symbol lol. Only sleeping two hours because he felt he didn't practice enough :O Reminds me of when there were rumours that Flash wouldn't sleep much to practice BW. Hope RorO continues to do well in HoTS and Symbol finally gets his GSL final win as well!

So happy for your RorO! Your manly tears made me shed manly tears.

thanks seeker.. happy for roro.. great job.

weird looking trophy.
also no elephant talk? is this just unique to roro or is kespa knocking on the door already?

The final BW champion is a Khan.
The final WoL champion is a Khan.
What a funny coincidence. Well done, RorO.

It has been quite a while since Kespa players started playing SC2. It's no surprise that one of them won.

Woohoo! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

I think Samsung is always the team who makes great effort and preparation on individual leagues among KeSPA teams, January is awesome. Look at all those players who helped roro to practice, Odin and January definitely helped to make those connections.
On the other hand, SKT is known to be awful on this aspect, Bisu complained multiple times about preparation for individual leagues.

They haven't really had that many opportunities you know. What has it been a couple seasons and even then I still find this conversation fruitless considering a lot of those ESF players used to be Kespa players, lol. It's kind of ridiculous no matter how you slice it. To me it's just a bunch of nonsense.
|
I would like to play a different match up than this one.
So Roro also dislikes ZvZ; what a surprise. Off the top of my head I can't think of any pros who really enjoy ZvZ. On the other hand, in the first few months of HotS, I doubt Roro will play many ZvZs based on how weakly Zerg has been performing, so that's good for him, kinda, I guess. Good job Roro, though I'm still angry at you because of my anti-team.

What a great interview. Thanks! RorO deserves a good nights rest.
|
RorO really seems like the person who will always try his best and post good results. This interview just shows to me how dedicated and how grateful he is to everyone who helps him. He is a true champion.
|
2 hours of sleep a day.
well deserved
|
sick interview, roro looked so happy to win, not what i expected from a kespa player tbh.
|
Its funny how people who have barely played sc2 compared to other pros who have played it for years as main profession, take championships away from them. It tells something about how easy the "sport" is.

What an insult to the talent and skill Roro developed over this short time frame relatively speaking. That doesn't even address the fact that certain people may be more suited for certain matchups or have different preferences to begin with. Please keep your trash comments to yourself.
Congratulations to Roro though he's worked so hard and it means a lot to him especially since he's never gotten a championship during his BW career and he was among the most consistent players to have graced the game.
|
Its just a fact. Something like this would never happen in real sports where it is actually hard to be a master. You would not see some junior/lower tier icehockey leaguers suddenly come and take win at NHL even if they were allowed to take part, etc.
|
Roro! Amazing interview. You were always my favorite Zerg in BW So much talent and you always played standard, so we'd be treated to amazing games. I hope you can catch up right away in HOTS! I think Zerg isn't that different anyway, it's just a matter of incorporating either the swarm host or viper and you'll be set!

New people come into esports and they win, it happened in every other game including Brood War. This isn't sports, It's starcraft. Now go away.

Dude really, BW prepares you for SC2 more than you are saying, Flash for example crossed over and began dominating its more like a American Football player taking off the pads and learning new plays in Rugby and making a name for himself there. BW was more complex than WoL (arguably even HotS) so it was actually "true major leagues" to lower leagues.
|
Flash is hardly dominating sc2 atm
I would not be so sure about american football player getting so fast good at rugby.

Well... on that I will agree. Calling it a sport is kind of a joke anyway, I think we want to make people understand our passion and drive for the game so we dubbed eSport as a term that expresses that. Really, Roro prepared mentally as much as Tom Brady would for a Superbowl, he didn't get any sleep and he studied all day and plays 12 hours a day.
He isn't going to lift a car or slam dunk anything but the mental toughness and stamina to keep it up for hours is impressive.

Once again, what an insult to Roro's own abilities. I'll take the bait and assume that Roro should be compared to as a junior player (which generally isn't correct to begin with) and that symbol is an NHL level player (which can be debated as well). Even junior players who have skill can train to significantly improve over a short time. While it's not guaranteed that it is enough to win they can give even NHL players a run for their money depending on how they've adapted to their game.
I can tell you don't even understand conventional sports... let alone Starcraft.
Just let your own terrible analogy and trash comment sink in a little bit... one day you'll realize how wrong you are and learn to think with your head above your neck, not blow too early with the little one below.

What's this e-sport? I don't care about e-sport, I like Starcraft. Stop comparing Starcraft to sports.

Even if his analogy or comparison is correct (which it isn't to begin with) he just wants to devalue a players ability and effort.
I'm finished here... no point feeding to the dying fire that a mongrel... I mean mongol.... started.

I would not market esports with stuff like "no sleep 12 hours gameplay" because its just unhealthy and seems just obsessive. Also I dont think he really played 12 hours and slept like that because it would have just fatigued him and nothing really would have been gained by that bad training routine.

It's called dedication.
Quit shitting on Starcraft if you don't like it then don't post, keep it to yourself.

So what exactly are you doing in this thread exactly? Go to a sport website instead then...
All you are doing is basically insulting all the players.

it's different, you're talking about sports where peak physical conditions > much harder to train than just pure mechanical aspect.
and you're also talking about team sports, which compounds the difficulty factor.

Its totally possible to be at very good physical condition at 19 or so years and able to match those older player in physical aspects. But the hardest thing is, that it is fucking hard to gain those actual icehockey skills and additionally form a good teamwork between players.

who gives a shit? Why are you coming here in an interview thread basically insulting all the players? What is the freaking point?

I am not fucking insulting players. I just pointed out that it tells about how easy the game is if some newcomers take as prestigious titles as gsl from players that have played it for years by now.

What I've noticed about Mongolbonjwa:
- In my Up/Downs Group E interview thread, he brings up some shit about Koreans not speaking English properly and that started a flame war.
- In my EG-TL: From Heaven to Hell thread, he brings up some shit about Win Ratio being used incorrectly and started another flame war
- In this interview thread, he talks about eSports not being a real sport and started a flame war.
To all TL users, please don't take the bait. This kid loves attention. And he keeps doing it in my threads for some reason -__-;;

Okay, so you just came into the thread to demean the accomplishments and dedication of all SC2 pros. Fantastic contribution, thanks very much.

I just mentioned what is the state of sc2 esports currently, and I was the one who was flamed for that.

For the love of god people lets stop feeding him anymore he's gonna be fatter than Texas at this point. Let's just stop replying to him at this point (marble doesn't exactly wear away quickly into a prominent statue).
We each have our own opinions regardless of whether it's right or not. The least you can do next time mongol is try to think about your analogies and comments before you post them. (once again don't blow your load too early good sir)
GJ derailing the entire thread when it really should be dedicated to congratulating Roro on his fine achievement. Hope your mother is proud of you.
Back on topic congratz to Roro

Rofl now he goes on as if he understands the "state of SC2 esports" and insults that by exclaiming its ezmode.
Oh man you show us what's up.
I know it's against the rules to backseat moderate... but please I urge the liquid heavens that the moderation team bans you. (temporarily so we can see how much of a model gentlemen you become in the future... oh who am I kidding)

When he was up 3-0 and going into game 4, I excitedly told my friend he'd definitely take this hands down 4-0. Fast forward a couple minutes later and I'm left eating my own words loooooooooool. Gratz to roro, very nice to see at least one champion from kespa before hots.

YEE roro like a bawss
also i approve of this
If you get to another finals, who would you like to face?
It’s going to be HotS so I can’t really say a specific player I would like to face but I would like to play a different match up than this one.

i thought symbol was going to make one of his fuck off come backs for a second there

Lol, but you failed to notice that Roro has been playing BW for years. Although they are different games, a lot of the skills still carry over. Or are you saying that if Roro had no BW background, he would still have won after playing 6-8 months of SC2?

Its just a fact. Something like this would never happen in real sports where it is actually hard to be a master. You would not see some junior/lower tier icehockey leaguers suddenly come and take win at NHL even if they were allowed to take part, etc.
Well, I think Crosby and Ovechkin beg to differ. Oh and there's also Selanne's all time best rookie season; 76 goals 132 points.
Oh yeah, congratulations Roro!

Maybe consider RorO's background first? He's been playing BW for 5 years so no, he's not as much of a newcomer as you think since both games still share a lot of similarities(and some differences of course lol).

Grats RorO ! Nice to see the zerg win in this one 
Ty for the translation as always seeker !
|
I also want to thank the T1 practice partners for staying up with me until four or five in the morning just diligently practicing as if it was their own matches they were preparing for.
SKT gotta be a part of the championship somehow you know
And congrats to Roro!

What I've noticed about Mongolbonjwa:
- In my Up/Downs Group E interview thread, he brings up some shit about Koreans not speaking English properly and that started a flame war.
- In my EG-TL: From Heaven to Hell thread, he brings up some shit about Win Ratio being used incorrectly and started another flame war
- In this interview thread, he talks about eSports not being a real sport and started a flame war.
To all TL users, please don't take the bait. This kid loves attention. And he keeps doing it in my threads for some reason -__-;;
I love how right after this post there are 7 more people quoting and arguing with him. Some men just want to watch the forums burn.

huge grats to Roro, although I was rooting for Symbol, he did make a lot of mistakes, so I can't complain.

grats to RoRo!
Samsung Khan FTW!!
and thank you SeeKeR

Roro fighting! First KeSPA champion ^___^

The new trophy looks kind of odd.
Roro seems extremely happy, hopefully this interview will put an end to the idea of " BW players don't care about GSL ". I could cite 15 interviews with KeSPA players saying they didn't have any time or minimal time to prepare for GSL...
There is a significant difference between not caring and not having time to prepare due to team obligations.

This gave me a nice boost in Liquidbet Grats!

I had never gotten past the Ro16 of an individual tournament nor had I ever performed well in Proleague.
come on roro, you're the legendary Anti-Team destroyer!
|
Sad for symbol, but at least RorO is no Sniper - so nice for him. :>
|
He seems really happy with winning this tournament.
I wonder how much momentum he can take into HotS, gratz to you roro.
And thank you Seeker for the long interview translation

Oh man, don't even mention Hendry please. Always makes me shed a tear for poor Jimmy White

Really great interview ! Good words from Roro, made me like him.
|
Would have loved to see Symbol win. But its really nice that Roro seems so overly happy about winning.
|
Thank you for the interview, great read.

Thanks Seeker.

I wish they would hype players personal stories more during the tournament, at least for semis and finals, so the viewers can relate to players they might not know yet. If they made a storyline how Roro always was lacking in results and thinking how he was merely average, but then the opportunity came to hit it bigtime at GOM where also his career began, how he had doubts and practiced like crazy and would be unable to find sleep because he could still train more etc. How different would the viewing experience have been.
And that TSL-Zerg-schtick from Symbol alone would serve for a great storyline.
There are so many opportunities left to be explored. I hope they do.

Roro!!! This brings me the memory when other Khan members got their gold.
Stork also cried when he got his first OSL gold.
