WCG Korean Qualifiers Round of 8 Day 2 Winner (Z)Jaedong:
"When I thought about my fans, my desire to give up went away."

[image loading]


- Thoughts about making it to Ro4
▲ Somehow I made it to the Ro4. It was ZvZ and luck was on my side. Since I made it to the Ro4, I think I would be sad if I get 4th place and lose the spot. Even though the remaining players are really good, I want to advance as first place like I did last year.

- How did you prepare for the match
▲ I only could practice basics and warm up my hands. I thought in game that I should stick to the builds I wanted to do. I had good sense and my control went well.

- Your next opponent is (P)Stork
▲ I played against (P)Stork hyung many times so I don't have any pressure. We practiced together often and I met him a lot in televised games so I think I can enjoy the game.

- Your determination to become the Korean representative
▲ I got to Ro4 and I think I would be too disappointed if I lose here. I will play hard for the players that got disqualified as well. Even though I am versing (P)Stork hyung in Ro4 I hope that whoever loses... No, I hope I win and (P)Stork hyung wins the 3rd place match so we can go to WCG together. *

- I'm curious about your current situation. How did you spend your days?
▲ I just rested at home and spent time with my parents. I also met many friends and rested. I tried to not worry about the match too much and rest. I came back to Seoul today and practiced, but truthfully speaking, I came without any expectations.** I thought it would be okay even if I lost and I was going to go right back home after the match, but since I won, I will practice hard and play good games.

- Your fans are worried. A word to your fans.
▲ Truthfully, I wanted to lose today, but I couldn't when I thought of my fans. Thanks to my fans, I could revive my desire to win. I would be lying if I said I knew the feeling of all my fans and how they worry about me, but the fans are giving me a lot of strength. I will try my best not to disappoint my fans' love.

* (Z)Jaedong started to say how he wanted whoever lost (Z)Jaedong vs (P)Stork to win the 3rd place, but he changed his mind and said he wants himself to win and (P)Stork to win the 3rd place match.

** He said he came without an empty heart, meaning he didn't expect anything.

- 4강에 진출한 소감은
▲ 얼떨결에 4강까지 가게 된 것 같다. 저그전이라서 운이 많이 따라준 것 같고 이렇게 4강까지 왔는데 4위로 떨어지면 억울할 것 같다. 남은 선수들이 모두 쟁쟁하지만 작년에도 1위로 진출했던 만큼 이번에도 1등으로 본선에 진출할 수 있도록 해야 할 것 같다.

- 경기는 어떻게 준비했나
▲ 기본기를 토대로 손을 푸는 정도의 연습 밖에 하지 못했다. 게임을 하면서 하고 싶은 빌드로 해야겠다고 생각했는데 감이 좋았고 컨트롤도 잘 된 것 같다.

- 다음 상대가 송병구인데
▲ 병구형과는 워낙 많이 만났던 사이라서 크게 부담은 없다. 예전부터 같이 연습도 자주 하고 방송 경기에서도 자주 만났었기 때문에 즐겁게 게임 할 수 있는 상대인 것 같다.

- 국가대표에 대한 각오 한마디
▲ 이번에 4강에 올랐는데 아까도 말했듯이 여기서 떨어지면 너무 억울할 것 같다. 탈락한 선수들의 몫까지 열심히 해서 꼭 국가대표가 되고 싶고 4강에서 맞붙게 됐지만 누가 이기든지, 아니 내가 이기고 병구형도 3, 4위전을 통해서 꼭 같이 올라갔으면 좋겠다.(웃음)

- 근황이 궁금하다. 어떻게 지냈나
▲ 그냥 집에서 푹 쉬다가 왔고 부모님과도 시간을 많이 갖고 친구들도 만나면서 휴식을 취하고 왔다. 이런 저런 것들을 떠나서 크게 신경을 쓰지 않으려고 노력했고 편하게 쉬려고 노력했다.오늘 서울로 올라와서 연습실에 합류했는데 솔직히 말하면 마음을 비우고 왔다. 떨어져도 좋다고 생각했고 곧바로 다시 집에 가려고 했다. 하지만 이렇게 올라갔으니까 열심히 연습해서 좋은 모습을 보여 드려야겠다.

- 팬들의 걱정이 많다. 팬들에게 한마디
▲ 오늘 솔직한 심정으로는 떨어지고 싶기도 했지만 팬들을 생각해서는 그럴 수 없었다. 결국 팬들 덕분에 다시 이기고자 하는 의욕을 살릴 수 있었다. 지금까지 저를 걱정해 주시는 팬들의 마음을 전부 다 안다고 하면 거짓말이겠지만 정말 많이 느끼고 있고 큰 힘이 된다고 생각하고 있다. 앞으로도 그런 팬들의 사랑에 실망시켜 드리지 않을 수 있도록 내가 할 수 있는 것들을 최선을 다해서 노력하고 싶다.


WCG Korean Qualifiers Round of 8 Day 2 Winner (P)Bisu:
"It was the first game in a while that got me tense."

[image loading]


- Thoughts about making it to Ro4
▲ For the first time in a while I tensed up during a game. I usually don't get tense, but today I had a tough opponent and I'm even more happy because I won against a tough opponent.

- You're close to becoming a Korean representative for WCG
▲ I have a feeling I'll make it. Since it's 3/4 that get to go I have a good chance. I don't think I'll be that one person who doesn't get to go.

- Your opponent was (T)Flash
▲ I was ahead in build order in the first game but I lost units recklessly and almost lost the center. Thankfully, I used stasis well and won, but on the second game, I lost to a build that I didn't think about. On the 3rd game I blocked the vulture with the pylon and gained a large lead. After that I just tried not to panic and won, but they were definitely tough games to win.

- You said you were worried because it was held in China
▲ After that interview, people around me told me that China was good. So I changed my mind and I won another tournament in China, so I want to win in China again.

- Anything you want to say
▲ This is my first chance to become the Korean representative and I will try hard to win.

+ Show Spoiler [Original Article] +

- 4강에 진출한 소감은
▲ 오랜만에 긴장하면서 게임을 한 것 같다. 이 전에는 긴장이 안됐는데 오늘은 강한 상대라서 그런지 긴장이 됐고 그런 경기를 이겨서 더욱 기쁜 것 같다.

- 국가대표에 가까워 졌는데
▲ 왠지 가게 될 것 같다. 이제 4명 중에 3명을 뽑는 거니까 확률이 높아졌다. 설마 떨어지는 한 명이 내가 될 거라고 생각하지는 않는다.

- 상대가 이영호였는데
▲ 첫 경기에서 빌드상 굉장히 유리했는데 무리하게 병력을 소모시켜서 그런지 센터에서 위기를 맞기도 했다. 다행히 아비터의 스테이시스 필드를 이용해서 잘 제압한 것 같고 2번째 경기에서는 미처 생각하지 못한 빌드에 당했다. 3번째 경기에서는 치즈 러시를 올 때 내가 파일런으로 벌쳐를 오지 못하게 하면서 확실히 승기를 잡은 게임이었다. 이후에는 당황하지 않고 잘 해서 이긴 것 같은데 전체적으로 굉장히 쉽지 않은 경기였다.

- 중국에 대한 우려를 얘기했었는데
▲ 예전에 인터뷰 하고 나서 주위에서 괜찮다는 이야기를 많이 들었다. 그래서 그런 생각이 좀 바뀌었고 중국에서 다른 대회로 우승한 경험도 있기 때문에 이번에도 중국에서 우승하고 싶다.

- 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 처음으로 국가대표가 될 수 있는 기회인데 열심히 해서 꼭 해내도록 하겠습니다.

hmm...I wonder if Jaedong wanted to lose to Calm in the MSL because of all the pressure on him. O_o

Wow. The sheer pressure JD is facing right now.... He's on the verge of forced retirement, his future is uncertain, he's got so much to worry about but he still manages to destroy kwanro like that. I really hope that this OZ/kespa fiasco gets sorted out and he can put all this garbage behind him.

It would be just devastating if he does retire...he hasn't even peaked.
