WCG Korean Qualifiers Ro16 Day 4 Winner (Z)Kwanro:
"I'm very excited about my Ro8 match"
[image loading]


- You defeated (T)Leta 2-0
▲ Since I have MSL finals and other players have vacation, I think that I lack concentration in WCG unlike other players, but I am practicing hard because I don't want to lose this opportunity. I'm thinking to myself that I'm in the advantage because I have other matches.

- Your game went well today
▲ My game went as I wanted today. I went into the match thinking "let's win in any way possible." I think I did well because I focused on the game.

- Your game versus (Z)Jaedong will be played before the MSL finals
▲ I am excited about it. Whether I win or lose, I think it will be great help for me in the finals.*

- The WCG and MSL finals are on the same day
▲ I wish they could change it if I make it to the finals. However, since I have a tough opponent to overcome in the Ro8, I don't think I need to worry about it right now.

- The players from Blizzcon came back today, don't you want to play in a different country too?
▲ I want to go but it's not like I can go just because I want to. If I keep doing my job, I think the chance will come eventually.

- Any last words
▲ I want to thank (T)910 for helping me practice. I got friendly with him while preparing for the last MSL. He helped me a lot.

+ Show Spoiler [Original Article] +

- 신상문을 2:0으로 완벽하게 격파했는데
▲ 나는 확실히 MSL 결승전이 있고 다른 선수들은 휴식기이기 때문에 집중력에서 밀린다고 생각을 하기는 한다. 하지만 놓칠 수 없다는 생각으로 열심히 하고 있다. 오히려 경기 일정이 더 있기 때문에 유리하다고 생각했다.

- 오늘 경기가 잘 풀린 것 같은데
▲ 오늘 경기가 뜻대로 잘 된 것 같다. 어떻게든 이기자는 마음으로 경기에 임했다. 그리고 집중이 잘 됐던 것 같다. 스타일의 문제라기 보다는 경기에서 신중하고 집중있게 경기를 하려다보니 결과가 좋은 것 같다.

- 이제동과의 8강전은 MSL 결승전 전에 펼쳐진다
▲ 굉장히 기대를 하고 있다. 이기든 지든 MSL 결승전을 앞두고 정말 도움이 많이 될 것 같다.

- WCG와 MSL 결승전 일정이 겹칠 수도 있는데
▲ 일정을 조금 조정해주셨으면 좋겠다. 하지만 아직은 내가 진출한 상황이 아니고, 8강에서 큰 고비가 남아있기 때문에 조금 더 나중에 고민을 해야할 문제인 것 같다.

- 오늘 블리즈컨 다녀온 선수들이 귀국했는데, 본인도 외국에서 경기하고 싶은 마음은 없나
▲ 가고는 싶지만 내가 억지를 부려서 갈 수 있는 것은 아니다. 묵묵히 내 역할만 잘한다면 어떤 식으로든 기회가 올 것이라고 생각한다.

- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 연습을 도와준 강구열 선수에게 고맙다. 지난 MSL을 준비하면서 친해졌다. 열심히 연습을 도와주신 것 같다.


WCG Korean Qualifiers Ro16 Day 4 Winner (T)Flash:
"I think the Ro8 match is going to be very difficult."
[image loading]


- You defeated (Z)EffOrt 2:0
▲ I met a tough opponent, but I won. However, there's one more tough opponent so I will try hard to beat him too.

- Since you had a tough opponent, did you practice a lot
▲ I couldn't prepare too much.** There were other matches. What I did today is what I wanted to show about my TvZ. When I lost in both MSL and OSL, I didn't lose the games I went standard. I was disappointed by that, and I think I showed today that I can beat any Zerg as long as I don't get damaged in the early game.

- You showed a very one sided game in the 2nd set
▲ I think Destination is good for Terrans. Even in practice, I almost never lost when I went mechanic. I am confident in that map. It's very hard for Zergs.

- You'll face (P)Bisu in Ro8
▲ I'm at a disadvantage in both terms of time and maps.*** However, I won't give up and prepare a lot. It will be very hard to win. I didn't have many TvP's lately and I've lost some sense in the matchup. I will practice to bring back my TvP senses.

- Do you have any desires to be a Korean representative
▲ Every player has some desires. That goes same for me. I'm trying extra hard this time. I want to win quickly and win the gold medal.

+ Show Spoiler [Original Article] +

- 김정우를 2:0으로 격파했는데
▲ 강적을 만났는데 넘어섰다. 하지만 한명의 강적이 더 남아있기 때문에 그 선수도 이길 수 있게 많이 노력하겠다.

- 어려운 상대이기 때문에 준비를 많이 했나
▲ 준비를 많이 하지는 못했다. 일정이 있었기 때문이다. 오늘 했던 것이 내가 보여주고 싶었던 저그전이었다. 그런데 양대 탈락할 때 무난하게 가서 진 경기가 거의 없었다. 그 점이 너무 아쉬웠는데 오늘 초반에만 피해를 입지 않으면 어떤 저그든 이길 수 있다는 것을 보여드린 것 같다.

- 2경기에서 엄청나게 압도적인 경기력을 보여줬는데
▲ 테스티네이션이라는 맵 자체가 테란에게 많이 좋다. 메카닉을 하면 연습 때도 거의 한 판도 지지 않았다. 남다른 자신감이 있는 맵이다. 저그에게는 많이 힘든 맵이다.

- 8강에서 김택용과 맞붙는데
▲ 일정면에서 내가 상당히 불리하고, 맵도 상당히 좋지 않더라. 그래도 포기하지 않고 열심히 준비하겠다. 굉장히 힘든 승부가 될 것 같다. 요즘 프로토스전을 많이 하지 않아서 감이 떨어진 상태인데 최대한 감을 끌어 올리겠다.

- 국가대표에 대한 욕심은 없나
▲ 모든 선수라면 국가대표는 욕심이 나는 타이틀이다. 나 역시도 마찬가지다. 이번에는 조금 더 많이 노력을 하고 있다. 어서 국가대표가 되어서 금메달을 땄으면 좋겠다.


* Damn right, everyone wants to practice ZvZ with JD

** Every player says the same thing.

*** I wonder what Bisu has to say about this

Interesting answers, thanks.

Thanks for the translations. WCG was such a sick tourney with a sick line up from the ro16. The ro8 looks amazing. I also think I have to side with Flash on judging map imbalance as Bisu complains about the maps nearly all the time. Gj Flash on showing that you have the best late game TvZ.

Go Flash! I'm so happy to see him rape good Zergs again.

Looking both at race statistics and the players' records on each map, Destination strongly favors Bisu, ROTK favors Flash, and HBR probably favors Bisu. On balance, Bisu seems slightly favored.

Bisu is undefeated in PvT on both Destination and HBR. On the other hand he won only one game on ROTK. I'm not entirely sure what was he complaining about, even if the maps are hard for PvT (which I'm not sure is the case) he is pretty damn good at them.

I get the feeling this is how Kwanro goes into every match

He's overrated, especially in BoX play.

WCG is turning out to be the tournament with the best line-ups, it's been pretty good watching it so far and there are some quality matches coming up.

Thanks for the translation.

It will be very hard to win. I didn't have many TvP's lately and I've lost some sense in the matchup. I will practice to bring back my TvP senses.


Wow, he's right. He hasn't played a Protoss player since 18 games ago. Hope he can get some good TvP practice to make the series a close and exciting match.
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!
