Thought I'd add this before tomorrow match. Fighting!

Original interviews:
+ Show Spoiler +

MacSed
问:你这已经是连续第三次WCS美洲区线下赛晋级了,感觉如何?
答:简直棒极了。

问:这次的目标是什么?
答:依旧8强- -。然后争取能走的更远。

问:最近备战的如何?
答:备战的一般把,对于比赛我觉得还是看当时的发挥和应变。

问:从美国转战德意志,感觉对自己的备战有什么影响吗?
答:没有影响呢,可能会更好些,因为时差容易调。

问:同组的还有国手Tooming,并且他还是战胜Scarlett晋级的,有没有对他说点什么?
答:希望我们能一起晋级,加油。(居然避开了Scarlett,这不科学!)

问:有没有为此次比赛准备了一些特殊的战术了呢?
答:没有,据说同组神族很强,需要准备特殊战术吗?

问:小组赛首战你将迎战Taeja,在去年WCS第二赛季美洲区淘汰赛中你们已经交过手了,并且最近神族比较强势,这次有没有信心战胜他呢?
答:现在人族真的很厉害,没多少信心能战胜他。

问:最后,还想说些什么呢?
答:飞机会不会消失啊,我好慌啊。感谢iG俱乐部对我的支持,还有我们的赞助商SteelSeries和网鱼网咖。

Xigua:
问:这是你第一次闯入WCS美洲区线下赛感想如何?
答:很难得的一次机会吧,希望能发挥出水平。

问: 这次的目标是什么?
答:尽力而为...

问:最近备战如何?
答:很一般,网络波动太大了。据说海底光缆出问题了,挺郁闷。

问:相比其他两位中国选手,你应该可以说是身陷死亡之组,有希望出线吗?
答:不知道。没有和他们交过手,我只希望能打出水平就好了。

问:你在32强线上赛上直接击败TL.HerO晋级让人印象深刻(>>>查看详细),然而这次线下赛有没有准备什么特别的战术呢?
答:ZVT是基本功的较量,我可能会根据情况来决定战术。

问:这应该是你继IPL与IEM第三次出征海外大赛吧
答:如果GSL韩国原来也算应该是第4次吧。(笑)

问:对其他两名国手有什么想说的吗?尤其是你的队友MacSed
答:希望国手都能打出中国选手的风采!

问:最后,还有什么想说的吗?
答:希望光缆快点修好吧,感谢iG俱乐部对我的支持,还有我们的赞助商SteelSeries和网鱼网咖。

问:由于NASL的解散,从美利坚转战德意志,感觉对自己的备战有什么影响吗?(>>>查看详细)

答:原本我准备和我们的领队去拉斯维加斯的。突然改变地点我好失望。我的阳光,美女,沙滩~不过想想下次还可以去也没什么了。备战的话因为我小组对手Arthur,几乎不打其他看得到rep,vod的比赛,也没办法了解。其实越早打我能越了解他的风格。毕竟他之前和IG战队的Luka打过。现在时间过了那么久,完全没有头绪了。只能“闭着眼睛”打了。不过他也是一波狂魔我想守好一波就行了。

问:最近备战的如何?

答:实话说毫无头绪。我的天梯分太低那个级别的几乎都是all in。ZVP我平均一天搜10盘,其中5盘都是光炮Rush,还有几盘一波流。打运营一天能打个3盘就不错了。所以我都不知道我现在是什么实力?ZVT的话完全拼基本功了,所以还算是比较有信心的。

问:和MacSed同分一组,然后你又是战胜了他的好友Scarlett晋级的,感觉压力大吗?

答:Sed老师是中国人吧?毫无压力。希望我们都能发挥出自己的水平。我们打胜者组决赛,然后你先放我先上去吧!我不想再打神族了!

问:同组的还有韩国的两位选手TaeJa与Arthur,有没有特别的战术准备给他们呢?

答:没有准备什么战术,不知道对手会怎么打所以只能见机行事吧。

问:觉得自己的出线有多大把握?

答:打神族看对方脸色了。所以我也没什么信心。打Taeja差不多吧。看谁更有耐心,他的风格在zvt上和我有些相似,看谁更有耐心我觉得谁就能赢。

问:这次WCS的目标是什么呢?

答:认真打比赛,打出自己平时训练的东西。这次线下时间还算长,所以希望能通过这次线下的机会多观察、学习、交流。可惜Jaedong被淘汰了要不可能能多学点,不过有蟒王Hyun,还有精彩镜头集结者Revival 他们俩也不错。当然还有瓜宗Xigua!

问:最后,出征前的誓言

答:最近几天的练习感觉我实在说不出什么豪言壮语。且行且珍惜~我会尽我全力的!


MacSed
[image loading]

Q: This is your third time advancing to WCS AM Offline, how do you feel?
A: Absolutely amazing.

Q: What is the goal this time?
A: Still RO8 - -. Then strive to advance further.

Q: How is your preparation going?
A: So so, competing will still depend on [my] performance and reaction on the spot.

Q: From US to Germany, does it affect your prep?
A: Naw, probably for the better, because easier to adjust to jet lag.

Q: Toodming is also in your group, and he advanced by taking out Scarlett, do you have anything to say to him?
A: Hope we can advance together, fighting! ([I] actually dodged Scarlett, this doesn't make sense!) (T/N: literally 'this isn't scientific')

Q: Did you prepare any special tactics?
A: No. I heard the Protoss player in this group is very strong. Do I need to prepare special tactics?

Q: Your first match is against Taeja, you have already faced him in WCS Season 2 AM last year. Recently Protosses are performing well, do you have the confidence to defeat him this time?
A: Terran is powerful nowadays, [I] don't have too much confidence.

Q: Lastly, anything you want to add?
A: Will my plane disappear? I feel unsettled. Thank you iG for supporting me, as well as my sponsors SteelSeries and WYWK (T/N: A Chinese internet cafe brand name)

XiGua
[image loading]
Q: This is your first time breaking into WCS AM Offline, how do you feel?
A: A rare opportunity, hope [I] can perform well.

Q: What's your goal?
A: Do my best...

Q: How is your preparation going?
A: So-so. Internet [performance] fluctuates too much. Apparently some problems with the optical cables across the ocean, [am] pretty sad.

Q: Comparing to the other two Chinese players, you're in the group of death, any hopes of advancing?
A: Don't know. Never sparred with them, I just hope I can perform well.

Q: Your victory over TL.Hero on the RO32 Online competition has left a deep impression on everybody, did you prepare any special tactics for this offline competition?
A: ZVT is a battle of mechanics (T/N: 'basics'). I will mold my strategy according to situation.

Q: This is your third foreign competition after IPL and IEM.
A: The 4th one if you count GSL Korea (laugh)

Q: Do you want to say anything to the other two Chinese players? Especially your teammate MacSed.
A: Hope us Chinese players can show our flare and represent! (T/N: open to suggestions on how to translate this line better)

Q: Lastly, anything else to say?
A: Hope the optical cable can be repaired soon, thank you iG for supporting me, and our sponsors SteelSeries and WYWK.

TooDming

Q: Due to NASL disbanding, [you have to] compete at Germany instead of US, do you feel if this has any effect on your preparation?
A: I originally wanted to go to Las Vegas with my team lead. I am very disappointed with the change of location. My sunshine, pretty girls, beach~ But it's okay consider I can always go next time. In terms of preparing for my opponent Authur, he almost never plays in any tournament that provides reps and VODs, so can't really check him out. The earlier I play him, the better I'd have a better feel of his style, since he has played Luka from IG. But since it's been so long, [I have] not the slightest clue. Have to play blind basically. But he is also a first-push(all in) monster, so I think I will be okay if I can defend his first push.

Q: How's your prep going?
A: Honestly, not the slightest clue. My ladder point is too low - at that level everybody all-ins. I average 10 ZVP a day on ladder, 5 of which are cannon rushes, and a few all-ins. I'd get three macro games if I'm lucky, so I have no idea how well I'm doing. ZVT is a battle of mechanics, so am somewhat confident there.

Q: You're in the same group and MacSed, and you advanced by beating his good friend Scarlet. Do you feel any pressure?
A: Sed sensei is Chinese? No pressure at all. Hope we can perform our best. Let us meet in the winner's match, then please let me advance first! I don't want to face another Protoss!

Q: There are two Korean players TaeJa and Arthur in your group, do you have any special tactics prepared for them?
A: Didn't prepare any special tactics, don't know how the opponent will play so going to play by the ear.

Q: How confident are you on advancing?
A: Against Protoss, it'll be depending on their mood/performance, so I'm not very confident. Pretty much the same against TaeJa, see who has more patience. He has similar style as me on zvt, so I think whoever has more patience will win.

Q: What's your goal for this WCS [season]?
A: Take it seriously, show the level of performance from practice. This offline [tournament] last for a while, so I hope I can take this opportunity to observe, study, and exchange [with other players]. Too bad Jaedong is eliminated, or else I can probably learn a lot more. But there are 'Python King' Hyun, 'Assembler of Great Plays' Revival, they're pretty good. Of course there is still 'Grand Master of Melons' Xigua! (T/N: them nickname are really hard to translate...)

Q: Lastly, your Battle Oath
A: Judging from my practice session recently, I don't have any strong words. Cherish what you have at the moment (T/N: Chinese Internet meme). I will give it my all!

Hey, thanks for the interview, it's neat to see how the Chinese players approach events given that we so rarely see and hear them

Also, those nicknames are pretty funny!

FYI the Luka guy Toodming mentions is iAsonu from iG, who lost to Arthur in Challenger.
