Maru – “Dear is just another Protoss”
“Semi-final opponent Dear will be an easier opponent than Rain”

[image loading]

Showing precise decision making, Maru defeated Jjakji and is through to the semi-finals.

On the 4th of October at the GOM TV studios in Gangnam, Maru (of team Prime) defeated Jjakji (of team MyInsanity) 3:1 in the WCS KR Premier League Round of 8, and now again has a spot in the semi-finals.

You beat Jjakji and secured your spot in the semi-finals.

Whenever I practiced my TvT, I lost. I’m really happy that I made it through.

How did you prepare for todays match?

As usual, I mainly practiced on ladder. Today, I practiced the maps I was playing today once each with Dream. I didn’t have anything specially prepared, I just improvised on stage.

You overcame a rough start to win the 2nd map.

I decided it would be hard to come back without medivacs. (I’m assuming he means doing the doom-drop)

In the semi-finals, you’ll be playing Dear.

He’s a pretty ordinary player that doesn’t differ much from all the other Protosses. Actually, I think it’ll be easier than when I played Rain. I think I’ll win 3:1.

In the Season 2 finals, you lost in the Ro16.

I just don’t want to drop out early this time.

Anything you’d like to add?

I want to thank all my teammates that helped me practice, and thanks to Dream for helping me practice.




soO – “I will punch through the steel-wall”
“Soulkey, the last match fell short of expectations”

[image loading]

soO defeated teammate Parting to make it through to his first ever semi-finals.

On the 4th of October at the GOM TV studios in Gangnam, Soo (of team SK Telecon) defeated Parting (also of team SK Telecom) 3:1 in the WCS KR Premier League Round of 8, and is now in the semi-finals, the first time since transitioning to Starcraft 2.

This is your first semi-finals since transitioning to SC2.

For the first time in SC2, I made it to the semi-finals. I feel bad that my quarter-finals opponent was a team mate, but I think that the world of competition is dispassionate. I’m happy with the outcome.

Being a team-kill match, the preparation must have been difficult.

Usually we sit right next to each other at the team-house, but because of today’s match we moved our spots. There were difficult points, and the atmosphere was a little odd.

You won 3:1. Did you anticipate that?

Parting used a lot of builds that I didn’t see coming, so I was really perplexed. Parting normally has a lot of builds prepared, so I think eliminating builds as I went was a good approach.

In the 2nd map, you won by producing a huge number of zerglings.

It was a strategy that I prepared. I poked in with my overlord, and when I saw the number of gateways increasing I started making zerglings.

In today’s match, we saw you focusing on strategies based on basic units like zerglings and roaches.

I wanted to go to late-game, but Parting kept forcing game to end in the early-game. I made armies in order to defend, but I was able to hold without much issue and the counter-attacks led to great results.

The 4th map was much like the 2nd.

Yep. Similar to the 2nd map, when I poked my overlord forward, I saw the number of gateways increasing.

In the semi-finals, you’ll be playing Soulkey.

As I watched the individual leagues, I noticed that he always loses at least once. I think he definitely has a weakness. I will punch through the steel-wall.

After you secured your place in the semi-finals, this also guaranteed you a spot in the Season finals.

It’s a stage that I really wanted to get to, at least once. There was a lot of difficulty getting here, so I’m determined to make the most of it.

Soulkey beat your teammate Rain in order to make it to the semi-finals. Do you have any thoughts of avenging your teammate?

It was a situation where he could have won, so I think he had bad luck. Soulkey’s play was below my expectations. I don’t think he’s an undefeatable opponent.

Anything you’d like to add?

I will prepare hard for the semi-finals and show good matches.

The ZvZ will be pretty fun IMO, better than the usual 72-drone ZvP shit that was SK vs Rain

thanks for translating! Hope SK wins 3-0 against soO and hope Dear crushes Maru 3-0 to teach him a lesson about thinking it's easier than rain and that he's just another protoss!

Thanks for the interviews <3
Maru vs Soulkey finals should be pretty awesome. I doubt Dear or Soo have a chance to make it to the finals...
