(T)Last: "I want to win the Rookie of the Year"

[image loading]



-How do you feel about winning your first game of the season?
▲I thought a lot about which strategy I should use because my opponent was (T)UpMaGiC. I won because I was about to try out every strategy I could think of with my teammates and it's all thanks to them.

-It's been said that you are good at playing positional games in Terran vs Terran (like advancing your tanks slowly against theirs and using scan to get a longer sight range and killing their tanks).
▲I enjoy playing against other Terran players and I think that my TvT is better than my other matchups. However, I'm still in the learning process.

-When did you think that you had the chance to win?
▲When I was harrassing two expansions with vultures and when I was able to easily destroy all of my opponent's dropships at my expansion, that's when I thought that I won the game.

-You have the right to go after the Rookie of the Year award.
▲I will practice very hard so that I can be good enough to earn the Rookie of the Year award. I am confident.

-When you have in-team practices, which player gives you the most help and encouragement?
▲Recently, (T)FrOzean hyung joined our team and whenever I have a question, I always ask him. His great explanations has helped me increase my skill greatly.

-There are many rising Terran stars on your team, how competitive is it?
▲I practice the most on our team out of all our Terran players. Because of my practice, I am able to get better and be able to show up often on the lineup and I hope to get a lot of wins for our team.

-How many hours do you practice a day?
▲Besides the time that I spend eating and sleeping, I pretty much practice all day.

-What is your goal for this season?
▲I want to get at least 15 wins this round in the proleague. I'm still relatively new and I have many shortcomings so I will work hard to make sure that I come up often on the lineup. With these opportunities to play, I'm sure that I will be able to accomplish my goals.

-Any last words?
▲As I practiced for this match, all the Terran players on my team helped me out and I just wanted to thank all of them.

(Z)Calm: "I'm relieved that I won."

[image loading]



-How do you feel about your first win?
▲It's truly a relief.

-Even though you won, you didn't seem that happy.
▲Although I have a cold, I'm still able to concentrate when I want to concentrate. But strangely, other thoughts kept popping up in my head. I wasn't able to go through with my game plan, but luckily, my opponent's strategy was messed up to so I was able to win.

-It didn't seem like your gameplay was up to your normal standards. Was it because of your cold?
▲I caught a cold 4 days ago and it seems like it's been getting worse day by day. I've been to the hospital, but it still hasn't gotten better.

-Did your cold have an effect on your abiity to practice?
▲I practiced a lot, but I think that it would have been better to just not practice and just rest. I was at my worst condition when I sat down in the booth anyway.

-You almost lost the game.
▲For about 15 minutes, I played the game in a trance-like state and suddenly, I felt that I was about to lose. I decided that if he attacked, I would lose, but since he didn't, I decided to just make sunkens at 9 o'clock and just defend.

-You are the first player to get 5 wins.
▲Our team has only played 5 games so far. There are many games still left and we have to keep doing well.

-Do you have any last words?
▲Next time, I will play better and show you (the audience, the fans) another win.

(Z)by.hero: "I am very pleased and relieved that I won".

[image loading]



-How do you feel about finally finishing the game?
▲Since I was preparing for a starleague yesterday, I didn't have much time to practice for the proleague. I'm very happy and relieved that I won.

-You won a decisive advantage in one attack.
▲My opponent wasted all of his zerglings and since he left his zerglings in the middle, I just sent my mutalisks to kill them. At that point, I decided that if I attacked, I would definitely win.

-Did you know that you were at a build order disadvantage?
▲Yes, I did. Althoigh I was at a disadvantage due to my build order, I thought that if I didn't use a 9pool again, other teams would think that our team's zerg strategy is very simple. I tried to use that to my advantage. I will also look for other strategies.

-Were you shocked at losing in yesterday's starleague matches?
▲I was definitely extremely shocked after losing. I thought that there was something wrong with me. As the game went on, I lost more and more of my concentration. During the game against movie yesterday, I looked at my game and wondered if my play was really at the level of a proper progamer.

-It seems that you are getting better at ZvZ.
▲I spent an entire day playing ZvZ only and during that time, I felt that I was slowly getting better. However, I don't think that I'm that good at ZvZ so I am going to continue to practice to improve my skill.

-Any last words?
▲Since I wasn't able to advance in the starleague yesterday, there were many people that worried about me. However, I was able to figure out some of my flaws in this game and I will work hard to fix my flaws. Also, it seems that there's a cold going around, so I hope that you will pay attention to your health.

its funny to see calm say he knew he would've lost if sangho attacked. Sangho was way too passive that game.

Thanks for the interview!

Unfortunately, I hate PL interviews because every fucking winners say "Oh I'm happy/relieved that I won, I hope that our team keeps doing well. Thank you to [insert practice partners/friends/family] for their support"


Sometimes, not always. Top players usually have interesting things to say (I always enjoy reading Jaedong/Flash/Bisu interviews), Stork is always funny in his, and sometimes you get goofy stuff like Classic's chin of fortune.

This one is pretty plain though, yeah.

Thanks for the translations again, I'm addicted to reading these interviews (especially KT's) and I'm glad people take the time to translate them.
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

Sorry, I didn't ask the questions T.T.
It's even worse for me when they're boring because I have to read them in Korean AND in English more than once to make sure it's okay.

Well, there are a lot of ethnic Koreans living in the United States, I was just wondering.
