WCS Interviews for this Week:
 MVP KeeN

Source: This Is Game
You brought forth the victory for your team with an all kill. Tell us how you feel.
This was my first all kill ever. I think that's why it's so much more meaningful.
Your first all kill since your debut.
The team kept on believing in me and kept on sending me out. I kept thinking that all my performance so far had been less than satisfactory but I think I erased all that with my results today (laughs).
Around when did you see the all kill coming?
A week ago, Swagger hyung told me to go out as first. I figured that I would be able to achieve an all kill as long as I prepared real hard and then it became apparent that I would as I was practicing yesterday.
MVP rose to 1st place with a score of 4-1. And the difference between you and #2 AxiomAcer is quite big.
For our first match of the season, we lost to AxiomAcer. Because we let our guard down back then, we've been taking extra precaution for all of our matches since then. I see a 90% chance for our team to advance to the playoffs as rank 1.
Your 11/11 proxy rax build was very easily thwarted in game three vs jjakji.
I used that same strategy against ByuN for Code A. Ever since then, I've been experimenting on how I can still stay in the game even when my 11/11 strategy ends up not working out. Which is why I was confident that I could still catch up to him even though my 11/11 ended up failing. I also decided to go for a 11/11 since it was a four player map.
Even strategic plays like DTs didn't hinder you.
Even before the game began, I kind of expected something like that to come at me. We have the same professional gamer status but I think there was a skill difference.
You are now the player with most wins with your all kill.
I've never done anything like this before for the GSTL (laughs). But right now I am working so much harder than I have been for last season so I think that’s why this kind of result has been following through.
This season, there are a lot of Terran players.
There are a lot of maps that favor Terran and there really aren’t that many maps that Protoss and Zergs can choose from. And any map that they can play on is mostly an easy map so every team, including us, just likes to exhaust all the Terrans.
Feels like there are a lot of all kills this season.
In my personal opinion, I think every eSF team is focusing on individual leagues because of financial burdens. I think that’s why all kills keep on coming out. Even for me, I was in Code S for a while and then fell out too easily this season. And since there are so many untelevised Code A games nowadays, the matches just feel meaningless. If you can’t make it into the Challenger League/Premier League then you end up resting for way too long so the players have no choice but to switch to AM or EU.
So it’s advantageous for KeSPA players but not for eSF players. KeSPA players constantly keep playing tons of games through Proleague so they keep their feel for the game, but eSF players can’t do that. That’s why even team MVP is constantly pondering what we should do.
You will face Prime in two weeks. Preparing for that match will probably be easy since you guys have such a long time.
We have Prime and AZUBU left. Our players are so confident right now that I can’t help but feel like they’ll be pretty easy victories. So I am confident no matter what. Personally, I desire to face viOLet against AZUBU. We hung out a a lot in the past and we still keep in touch to this day. I want to scold viOLet hyung and then laugh in his face. He keeps saying that he’s such a good player (laughs).
Anything else you would like to say?
My parents wished me to get an all kill when I told them that I would be the starter vs NSH. I am glad that I was able to fulfill my parents’ and my teammates’ beliefs in me. Lastly, I want to thank our sponsor Lotte Chilsung.

What does it mean by 'toxic Terran players'?

Terrans that emit poisonous molecules due to lack of hygiene.

Wouldn't the eSF teams rather focus on GSTL because of financial burden? Winning GSTL will get you more money than any of the teams have a reasonable chance of winning from WCS, and wouldn't that money belong to the player who won it? at least most of it.

No idea
TIG trying to be all fancy by using advanced vocabulary I guess.

Yay Keen! So glad he finally got a big win under his belt. NSHS, but still an all-kill is an all-kill.
I love the bit of confidence on "When did you see the all-kill coming" / "Yesterday"

이번 시즌엔 유독 테란의 출전이 많았다.
you dont need to translate 유독 as toxic because it doesnt mean toxic in this case. It should just read as
"This season, there are a lot of terran players"

If players tried to live off prize money they'd all be eating ramen with no eggs in them.

That's what I'm saying, the GSTL prize can go directly towards the financial situation of the team, it doesn't belong to one player like individual tournament winnings do. I guess the translation could mean that he's saying the players themselves aren't making much money, which is definitely true if you're not at the top of WCS and not in kespa.

Thank you. That's what I thought they were going for. But google translate and my iphone app both kept saying otherwise :/

It would be a nice bonus to their war chest but if that's the only thing going for them they might as well retire or sign up for the KeSPA draft.

That's really weird, didn't they just make a mousepad for MVP? Maybe he just forgot to mention Razer for some reason. If you go to the team razer website MVP is still there.

mvp only has one sponsor now?

You know I was thinking exactly this when I read Revival's WCS interview where he says they had a lot of free time back at TSL, now because he plays Proleague for EG, there's more schedule and purpose to training etc. and that it helps him get better.
If an eSF player drops out of GSL in ro32 or 16, he basically has no official games to play for a couple of months. He'll play a couple of bo3s in Code A at best, and he may or may not be fielded in GSTL, where teams only play 1 match every other week.
KeSPA players play a lot of games. And it's not just playing the official games, but the kind of purpose that gives to practice that's important.

I really don't get how MVP has trouble finding sponsors, one of their LoL teams is doing extremely well in the OGN league right now so that should be enough publicity and popularity to pick up a lot of them.
|
Thanks for the translation, great job as usual
...That’s why even team MVP is constantly pondering what we should do.
Uh oh, I don't like the sound of this.
|
I have this feeling that KeeN just got lazy on sponsor shout outs. I mean like, why would Razer want to stop sponsoring MVP :/

Keen should move back to CJ Entus where he was a practice partner during the Brood War days.
They need Terrans anyway.

I believe Ozone (same company that sponsors Karont3) sponsors MVP LoL, but not SC2.

GSTL drops off a lot after first team or two. better to have a few players in code s and win 1.5k per season for that instead
