Tell us how you feel about winning.

I had a feeling that getting to the quarter-finals was going to be inevitable. I wasn’t in good condition today so my performance was bad. This was my first time getting up at 6:00am since becoming a pro gamer. I am so tired (laughs).

How did you prepare for today’s matches?

I didn’t have a lot of time to prepare so I just focused on the basics. I also did some image training.

Any match that you specifically remember?

Overall, they were just very simple matches and I won rather easily. So there really isn’t a match that I specifically remember. But I’m going to have to do well for all my matches from here on out.

You met TLO in the winners’ round.

I thought Stephano was going to get through but I ended up meeting TLO. I saw that he like to play an aggressive style from his match against Stephano so I decided to respond to that kind of play style.

Was there any pressure?

Yes there was. Earlier this week, I got embarrassed by the MLG KR qualifiers because I got knocked out too easily. So I plan on redeeming myself through the WCS Season 1 Finals.

Any specific player that you’re conscious of?

I think the best players are fellow teammate sOs and STX’s INnoVation.

The championship is probably your goal so who would you like to face in the finals?

I just want to meet a good player and have a fun match. If possible, I’d like to face INnoVation. I am plenty confident and I am confident enough to put on a good performance.

You stated in your previous interview that you care more about prestige than the prize money. Is this still true for this tournament?

I’m not going to make getting the prize money my goal. Prestige is more important. I want to win the championship for the WCS Finals.

Anything else you would like to say?

I will put on a great performance since I’ve made it to the quarter-finals. I will make it to the semi-finals no matter what.

(T)LG-IM Mvp

You advanced to the quarter-finals out of your group as second. How do you feel?

I had to take profile shots and wake up early to play my matches so I am really tired. I’m glad that I made it through but I feel bad that I had to beat KangHo to get here.

Were you satisfied with your performance today?

I haven’t been feeling well for a while now. My performance was really bad today. My hands did not move properly while I was playing today.

What are your goals for this tournament?

My goal was to make the quarter-finals. If I get the chance to, I’d like to face Soulkey during this tournament.

Was it just a condition issue or were you also nervous?

I wasn’t feeling nervous but I was having trouble when I was practicing because of my neck disk issues. I’m not sure if it’s because I had to wake up early today or what but I was feeling worse than usual.

You used mech a lot during WCS EU. As expected, you used a mech strategy for the final round.

It’s a build order that not a lot of players use so I think there are a lot of opportunities for development. But I feel like for TvZ, it’s still not as efficient as the marine/marauder/medivac/widowmine composition.

Were there any difficulties during WCS Europe?

If I had decided to stay in Korea to play in WCS, then I probably wouldn’t have been able to break Code A because I was a Code B player. I wanted to win the championship so I went for WCS Europe. I started off straight from the Premier League for WCS EU so I wanted to grab the opportunity to win the championship.

Do you have any plans to return to Korea?

If I wasn’t a Code B player, I probably wouldn’t have left for Europe. I have to live overseas for a long time so I think it’s better to be in Korea. But I’m really satisfied right now because I established a good result in Europe.

Your first time playing matches in a 5 man gaming booth.

It was really roomy. For individual booths, referees watch your games from outside but for a 5 man gaming booth, the referees are actually in the booth. It feels like I’m being watched from behind so personally I prefer the individual booths.

Anything else you would like to say?

If I had just won in the winners’ round, then KangHo and I both could have made it through but I wasn’t able to so it was disappointing. But KangHo is more than capable of making it through for the next season so I just need to make sure I cover myself thoroughly (laughs).

Tell us how you feel about advancing out of your group as first.

I told myself that I had to make it to the quarter-finals no matter what because it was a 3 Zerg group. I am so glad that I was able to advance out as first.

Any specific match that you remember?

I got hit with a roach/ling/bling attack in game one. I’ve lost a lot of games because of roach/ling/bling attacks. So I really thought that I was going to block it this time around but I wasn’t able to. That hit me pretty hard.

Why do you think you keep showing a weak form against roach/ling/bling attacks?

I think I lack solid micro and the ability to decipher my opponent’s army composition.

What did you focus on for today’s matches?

I had no practice partners. So I prepared through ladder.

You went for a proxy rax build order for the winners’ round. You experienced a loss during the WCS Korea finals cause you went for a proxy rax build order.

I was looking at things from my opponent’s perspective. I figured he would expect me to go for a macro game for game three so I went for a proxy rax build on purpose.

You pulled off a comeback for game two.

I lost way too easily for game one. The match got a lot more difficult after that but somehow I was able to win (laughs).

You met RorO during last season of Code S.

He’s someone I’ve beaten before, and I figured I would win if I took him to macro games.

What are your goals for this season?

The goal is to win the championship. If possible, I would like to face sOs. If not sOs, then I’d like to face a Protoss player.

If you get to face Soulkey again, do you think you’d be confident?

I am confident. I will win no matter what.

ForGG stated that he wanted to face you.

These days, I feel like I can never lose in a TvT. I think I’m just going to flat out win.

You advanced to the quarter-finals. How do you feel?

It was an entirely new feeling since I haven’t played in YongSan for a while. I am even more glad because I advanced out of my group as first.

You haven’t played in YongSan in four years.

I don’t know if it’s because I played there a lot during the BW days or what but I was less nervous than I get for overseas games.

How were today’s matches?

It always grabs my interest when I play against strong players. HerO won WCS AM and Symbol, sOs are really strong players. I was happy with my group because it was a group with all strong players.

During your WCS EU match vs Stephano, there was a game where your widowmine backfired and killed everything you had.

I loaded my army into my medivacs after I made sure that I took care of Stephano’s banelings but all of a sudden my army just disappeared. I even thought for a second there that a bug had occurred. After I realized what had happened I felt dead inside.

During WCS EU, you were seen utilizing hellions mostly. But you didn’t use any hellions today.

I don’t tend to use hellions for TvPs. I just didn’t use any hellions because there were no TvZs today.

For today’s matches, you used a strategy where you all of a sudden increased your number of barracks. Is there a reason as to why you excluded getting factories?

In my opinion, it is better to go for barracks than factories. That’s why.

You grabbed a lot of advantages for game two through engagements but you still ended up losing.

I was in such a good position that I decided not to grab any ghosts and just stayed with a marine/marauder/hellbat composition.

sOs attempted a really powerful push for game three but you blocked with ease.

I was expecting an attack to come. Whether it was an all-in at my base or harassment at my natural, I knew that some form of attack was heading my way.

What kind of result did you expect for today after seeing your group?

I was expecting to advance out as second. HerO is a really strong opponent and he was riding a powerful momentum because he won WCS AM. But I felt that I was going to advance out as first after taking him down in the first match.

With your advancement to the quarter-finals, there are now 5 players in the Ro8.

I want to face INnoVation. I am confident in my TvT so I would like to play against him.

You’re living overseas right now so practice must not be easy.

It’s true that I am rather at a disadvantage because I’m not living in a team house in Korea. I can’t even practice at the hotel. So I did a whole bunch of image training.

Anything else you would like to say?

I had no idea that I would be able to establish such good results like these after I got through the WCS EU preliminaries. I am riding a really good momentum right now so I will win tomorrow also and advance to the finals. Lastly, I want to thank my fans who cheered me on and team Millenium.

Thanks Seeker

Mvp is a ballsy guy, wanting to take on SK. He would probably have to take him on eventually either way, but actually stating that he'd like to play him is quite the move.

in all the interviews, koreans always want to take on the best player. At one point, it was mvp when KeSPA first switched over then life then innovation now its SK so nothing new lol.

Thanks Seeker! SK looking confident, nothing new. Can't wait for the other interviews. Hope they'll get released soon

Didn't someone once say that Mvp was the best player on Woongjin Stars in practice? Soulkey and Mvp were both up and comers around the same time.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

I hope roro doesnt win against him-_- Soulkey has way better chances against every other opponent left in the tournament than roro.

Your a dedicated man. I am very grateful.

It is pretty funny how the groups worked out in such a way that there every match is a mirror matchup with the whole bottom bracket being a mirror matchup. My predictions would be Soulkey, sOs, ForGG, Innovation... followed by Soulkey 3-1 and Innovation 3-2. Epic rematch in finals with a revenge 4-1 from Innovation.

Awesome interviews! Thanks so much for translating them ^^

Man, I'm really rooting for MVP to do well. Sad to hear that his condition wasn't great today, sure hope it'll be perfect tomorrow as he's about to face some very tough opponents. Really don't think he can beat both ForGG and Bogus (aLive's got no chance!) but I'll still be cheering for him!

Because some of those Code A interviews had like 6 - 7 questions tops with very short and simplistic answers. These ones are long and detailed T-T

Thanks you for the translations! When you didn't do them it felt from time to time like we knew a lot less about the Korean scene.

He could be referring to different things under the same term I guess, but basically it's in the vein of going through buildorders in your head, imagining/visualizing different scenarios, doing repetition of specific parts of the game, maybe doing openers vs. AI. That sort of thing.

Psh. I've done 22 Code A qualifier interviews in less than 48 hours multiple times. I gotz mad skillz bro.

What's 8 interviews with a couple more questions each compared to 22 interviews?

Because some of those Code A interviews had like 6 - 7 questions tops with very short and simplistic answers. These ones are long and detailed T-T

You're a quality poster! You can't make excuses

ya, this is what image training is. It's pretty helpful when you can't practice like in ForGG's case.

He means he is literally a code B player. he dropped out of code S and code A thus he would be code B. Not that he has the skill of a code B player

Ahh, nice, ForGG interview translated now also

He seems to be bursting with confidence, I'm so scared for MVP right now. I wonder how much koreans followed WCS EU, that those widow mines hitting ForGG's medivacs was such an epic moment

yeah MVP still hungry: give me the gsl champion. i will tear him apart!

but innovation needs to listen to the forums and build a tank!

Any specific match that you remember?

I got hit with a roach/ling/bling attack in game one. I’ve lost a lot of games because of roach/ling/bling attacks. So I really thought that I was going to block it this time around but I wasn’t able to. That hit me pretty hard.

Why do you think you keep showing a weak form against roach/ling/bling attacks?

I think I lack solid micro and the ability to decipher my opponent’s army composition.
Countdown to victory: 1 200!

Well the EU scene pretty much is Korean Code B. Proven several times. Countless seeds has been given to foreigners and they drop from Code S -> B instantly with a very few exceptions. I don't think they feel any different because they have known this all along. Otherwise a lot of them would have played in the Korean Code S simply because of the prestige of being able to do so.

And Mvp is Code B. He dropped out of Korean Code A which means he is Code B. He has the skill to return but he chose to go to EU instead so perhaps we will never know if he could compete in Code S again.

Innovation:

He most definitely does not lack solid micro. If what he does isn't micro, then whose is?

Ability to decipher compositions though, that's kinda true. Make the siege tanks, Innovation!

image training is just hardcore imagination of how the games will go i think. Like you'd go through all of the possible sets in your head, your builds, your responses, all that fun stuff.

Innovation used to say his weakest matchup is TvT now he feels like he can't lose a TvT. He wants to play against Protoss. He's confident he'll beat Soulkey. So much confidence

His micro actually isn't too amazing. It isn't bad but it isn't anywhere near the level of the rest of his game.


Yeah, Innovation is more known for his macro and multi-tasking more than his micro. Even though his micro is really top-notch, it's not yet on the level of his macro etc which are really-really-top-top-notch.

Mvp is a ballsy guy, wanting to take on SK. He would probably have to take him on eventually either way, but actually stating that he'd like to play him is quite the move.

in all the interviews, koreans always want to take on the best player. At one point, it was mvp when KeSPA first switched over then life then innovation now its SK so nothing new lol.

Thanks Seeker! SK looking confident, nothing new. Can't wait for the other interviews. Hope they'll get released soon


I've never really heard anyone say they want to take on Flash (besides of course the most recent Code S group selection). The others yeah...

I feel like Seeker deserves his own personal sponsor for how much he does for the community... Like if he was sponsored by X hardware I'd fucking buy it; a nifty half translation from korean to english on the mousepad or something with him signing it would be bad ass.
