-This is the first time that you have qualified to be a national representative for Korea in the WCG.
▲The actual feelings from winning haven't hit me yet. I have failed to qualify to represent Korea in the WCG many times and I thought that I might be eliminated yet again. However, I was able to advanced like this because my luck was good today.
-You've frequently had bad results in the elimination matches.
▲Although my luck was good this round, I feel that my ability has increased as well since the last tournament. Although I've lost to terran players many times in the past, all my matchups have been strong lately, so I was confident this time. I wasn't stuck grabbing onto the coattails of others.
-In the first set against
Luxury, you only had to defend his attacks to win.▲As I was blocking his attacks, the thought that I might lose arose. But as I was defending, I suddenly felt that I was winning. When his overlord died in my main base, that's when I felt that I had definitely won.
-Who do you think will advance to the finals tomorrow?
▲I feel that no matter which player makes it to the finals, I will have a tough time. Rather than being about the prize, I think that the finals will be about respect. The important question is who becomes number 1. But I will definitely be number one, no matter who my opponent is.
-Nevertheless, who do you think will advance?*
▲I think that
Jaedong sunsoo will advance. Stork hyung said that he's not confident in winning. Then again, you can't really tell with Stork hyung. He always talks like that (laughs).-If you were to talk about your prospects for the gold medal.
▲If a Korean player goes out to play in the WCG, they almost always win the gold, so I think that it's definitely within my reach. Although the Korean representatives tend to face each other too early, if it doesn't happen to me, I'm pretty sure that I will win the tournament.
-It must have been difficult to practice since your teammates all went down to Chang-won for the STX Masters Cup.
▲Because we have trainees on our team, I wasn't worried about getting enough practice. Even today, I woke up at 12 o'clock (at noon and the games started at 3), ate some food, played one game, then came to play in the WCG. I think that I will go to sleep early today after practicing a little. There's no one in Seoul right now. I guess I'll just practice online.
-Do you have any last words that you want to share?
▲Our team is going out to the finals in the STX Masters Cup. Although it's a shame that I wasn't able to go out, I believe that my teammates will win it for me. I will try as hard for the gold medal as I did to become one of the Korean representatives for the WCG.

-With today's win, you have advanced to become Korea's representative in the WCG three consecutive times.
▲Although I failed to reach the Hall of Fame, I'm very proud to be able to be Korea's representative three times in a row. I definitely wanted to be within the top 3, but fortunately, I was able to advance (over
Jaedong).-Although you won, weren't you pretty nervous that your opponent was a zerg?
▲When I talked with
Bisu, he joked that playing zerg was cheating, but I really thought that I wouldn't be able to win today. Before my series, Luxury hyung lost (to Bisu) and I thought that I should just give up on this season's WCG (laughs). Although Bisu and I joked that playing zerg was cheating when we chatted, his performance was no laughing matter. Although I won today, I still think that playing against zerg is as hard as ever.-Even so, it seems that your performance today was pretty good.
▲Rather than anything like that, I was just surprised that I wasn't eliminated. Lately,
Jaedong's situation is pretty bad because of the FA situation.** I'm pretty sure that I won because his condition wasn't good today. Although Jaedong wasn't able to practice that much, he played well. Rather than being happy, I felt that I have to shore up my weaknesses.-It seems that it will be enjoyable for you and
Bisu to go to China today.▲After WCG ended last year, we went to IEF together. When I became the national representative, there was a jynx. I went to all of the finals. However, the players that beat me all fell in the 8th round. If Bisu wants to do well in the WCG, he has to keep this jinx in mind (laughs).
-After tomorrow's series ends, your schedule will be pretty empty.
▲I have a request for my manager. Because of these games, I haven't been able to have a proper vacation. Since I'm busy next week, I won't be able to rest then either (laughs). It would be nice if I could get my own vacation (laughs).
-If you have any last words that you would like to share?
▲I was very surprised when the manager visited our living quarters. She was worried that I might have seen
fantasy's winners interview. However, I don't think I saw it yet(laughs)***. I practiced until dawn today; I would like everyone to know that even if I'm not playing against zerg, I will still practice like it's the middle of the season.**+ Show Spoiler +

Referring to (T)Fantasy's interview after the round of 16 after he beat Kal.
"- Your next opponent is (P)Stork.
▲ I practiced TvP a lot lately so I feel confident*. I will definitely get to the semifinals and have a rematch with (Z)Jaedong"
-from this thread, translated by l10f . I read it as "I definitely want to reach the semifinals so that I can rematch Jaedong", but it still sounds a bit cocky and like Fantasy is just offhandedly dismissing Stork and just focusing on Jaedong. No one likes to be ignored, especially a player of Stork's caliber.
