MSL Semi-Final #2 Winner (Z)Jaedong:
"I will play a game I won't regret in the finals"


[image loading]


- How do you feel about making it to the finals?
▲ I think it's been a while since I made it to the finals of the MSL. I'm very happy but I think I need to win to become even more happy. Rather than celebrating now, since I'm so close to winning the MSL, I will try hard to seize this opportunity. I lost in the Arena MSL finals 0-3 so I want to win today and further heighten my career.

- The match was one-sided.
▲ I think the games went well. There were a lot of tense moments but I was able to overcome them well. I think I can rank my game play pretty high. I'm satisfied because I think I showed that my ZvP has evolved a lot from the past. If I can keep this sense, I think I can show even better ZvP in the future.

- You set a new record for vP winning streak
▲ When I won game 2, I thought if I just won one more I could create a record that other players can't catch up to. I think I can someday break Flash's record as well if I don't let my guard down and try my best.

- People said that the maps were biased towards Protoss
▲ People around me said that the maps were designed to kill Zerg players. I thought it was overall playable for Zerg. I was confident because I had a good winning percentage during practice, but since so many people said the maps were impossible for Zerg player to win, it got on my mind.

- Which game was the most memorable today?
▲ The 3rd set. Even I think I played well (laughs). I could have ended the game but (P)Kal blocked so well so I almost lost my pace, but I was able to get through it and play a good game. I like playing flexible like that.

- Your team won in Proleague without you.
▲ I am very happy. I saw the games and I thought (T)HiyA played so well. I congratulated him and now since Winner's League is coming, I hope he continues to do well.

- Lee-Ssang-Rok has been decided for the finals ((T)Flash vs Jaedong).
▲ I really want to win. I have to get my revenge, so I will play this match with a stronger resolution. Apart from that, I want to thank everyone for giving so much attention to the Lee-Ssang-Rok match. I will repay everyone with a good game. Since so many people are looking forward to it, I don't want to play a game that I will regret.

- How will you prepare for the finals?
▲ I normally practice with my teammates, and I think I'll do that again. I practiced for today's match with Hwaseung Protoss players. [no wonder they always look so inconfident, they get owned by JD 24/7 during practice.] I believe in my teammates. I don't think it will be a problem becuase they help me out a lot during practice.

- It is known that you practice with Flash a lot.
▲ Not that often because it's hard to practice unless we have the right matchup coming up on the same map. We know each others' style very well because we meet so often in the matches. Since we know so much about each other, I'll play with an empty heart.

- Don't you want to win the MSL with no losses?
▲ It's a very powerful record but I'm not too interested. It is not good to focus on winning every set in a Best of X matches. It would be nice if I could, but I won't be disappointed even if I don't.

- Determination for the finals
▲ I think I did pretty well this season like I did last season. I need to finish off well in the finals. If I win in the finals, I think the momentum will carry into the Winner's League, so I there is a lot at stake. I will prepare with a strong determination and definitely win.

- Anything else you want to say
▲ I think I won thanks to the Protoss players on my team. Especially (P)Spear helped me a lot. I bothered him a lot to help me practice and I'm thankful that he tried his best to help me practice. I also want to thank (P)Pure and (P)free. I've always went to the Proleague Stadium since my debut, but I'm thankful that my team let me focus on the Semifinals. I will return the favor with a victory. Lastly, I have a ZvT in the finals, and HiyA always asks for something if I ask him to help me practice. I don't know what he wants, but I will buy a lot of food for him and listen to whatever he has to say, so I hope he helps me practice (laughs). If I win, the whole team will benefit, so I hope he practices hard with me.

- MSL 결승 진출 소감
▲ MSL에서는 오랜만에 결승에 올라온 것 같다. 그래서 굉장히 기분 좋은데 우승을 해야지 더 기뻐할 수 있을 것 같다. 지금은 기쁨을 만끽하기 보다는 우승이 코앞으로 왔으니 기회를 잡기 위해 노력하겠다. 지난 아레나 MSL 결승에서 0대3으로 졌기 때문에 이번에 우승해서 우승 횟수도 더 늘려서 커리어를 더 높이고 싶다.

- 원사이드한 경기엿다.
▲ 개인적으로 게임이 잘 풀린 것 같다. 중간중간 위기도 많았는데 이를 잘 극복해서 내 자신에게 점수를 많이 줄 수 있는 경기를 한 것 같다. 예전보다 많은 발전을 한 프로토스전을 보여준 것 같아서 만족스럽다. 당장의 MSL만이 아니라 앞으로도 이 감각을 유지한다면 더 좋은 프로토스전을 보여드릴 수 있을 것 같다.

- 프로토스전 연승 신기록을 세웠는데
▲ 2경기를 이겼을 때 한 경기만 더 이기면 다른 선수가 따라올 수 없는 신기록을 세울 수 있다고 생각했다. 이영호 선수가 가지고 있는 단일 종족 최고 기록도 방심하지 않고 열심히 한다면 언젠가는 깰 수 있을 거라고 생각한다.

- 경기 맵이 프로토스에게 유리하다는 평이 있었다.
▲ 주위에서 저그를 죽이기 위한 맵이라는 말이 많았다. 그런 부분에만 신경을 쓰지 않는다면 전체적으로 할만하다고 생각했다. 연습 때 승률도 좋아서 자신 있었는데 워낙 주위에서 저그가 못 이기는 맵이라고 해서 그 부분이 신경 쓰였다,

- 오늘 경기 중 가장 기억에 남는 경기는
▲ 3경기가 좀 기억에 남는다. 내가 생각하기도 잘한 것 같다(웃음). 게임이 끝날 수도 있었는데 (김)구현이가 너무 잘 막아서 내 페이스가 말릴 뻔 했다. 하지만 한번 더 생각하고 경기를 풀어가서 좋은 경기를 할 수 있었다. 그런 유연함이 마음에 든다.

- 오늘 본인이 빠졌음에도 불구하고 팀이 프로리그에서 승리했다.
▲ 너무 기분 좋다. 프로리그 경기를 보는데 성훈이가 너무 잘하더라. 그래서 감탄을 많이 했고 이제 위너스 리그인데 자기의 무대가 왔으니 앞으로도 잘 해줬으면 좋겠다.

- MSL 결승에서 리쌍록이 실현됐다.
▲ 굉장히 이기고 싶은 결승전이다. 복수를 해야 하는 부분도 있어서 다른 경기보다 좀더 남다른 각오로 임해야 할 것 같다. 그런 부분을 떠나서 많은 분들께서 관심을 가져주시고 리쌍록이라는 매치에 대해 열광해주시는 것에 대해 감사 드린다. 멋진 경기력으로 보답하고 싶은 마음이 크다. 기대 하시는 만큼 후회 없는 경기 하고 싶다.

- 결승전 어떻게 준비할 생각인가
▲ 연습을 할 때는 대부분 팀원들과 하기 때문에 이번에도 팀원들과 할 것 같다. 오늘 경기도 화승 프로토스들과 연습을 했다. 난 우리 팀원들을 믿고 있다. 연습 때 잘 도와주기 때문에 문제 없을 것 같다.

- 평소 이영호와 연습을 자주 하는 것으로 알려졌는데
▲ 연습을 자주 하는 편은 아니다. 서로 일정이 많아서 겹치는 맵이 아니면 연습이 어렵다. 하지만 워낙 경기에서 자주 만나서 스타일에 대해서는 서로 잘 알고 있다. 이제는 서로 알 거 다 아는 사이라서 마음을 비우고 경기하겠다.

- 전승 우승 욕심나지 않나
▲ 굉장히 포스가 있는 기록이지만 그렇게 욕심이 나지는 않는다. 다전제 같은 경우는 결국 승패가 중요하기 때문에 매 세트에 연연해 하는 것은 좋지 않다. 전승 우승하면 좋겠지만 그렇지 못하더라도 실망하지는 않을 것 같다.

- 결승에 임하는 각오
▲ 지난 시즌에 이어서 이번 시즌에도 전체적으로 나쁘지 않은 성적을 거뒀다고 생각한다. 마지막 결승이라는 큰 무대가 남았기 때문에 마지막 매듭을 잘 지어야 할 것 같다. 내가 만약 우승을 한다면 곧 펼쳐질 위너스 리그에도 기세가 이어질 것 같아서 얻는 것이 많은 것 같다. 그래서 이번 결승전은 남다른 각오로 준비해서 꼭 우승하겠다.

- 끝으로 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 우리 팀 프로토스들이 너무나 잘 도와줘서 이렇게 승리한 것 같다. 특히 임원기 선수가 제일 많이 도와줬다. 원기에게 도와달라고 보채고 불평도 많이 했는데 연습을 성심 성의껏 도와줘서 너무 고맙고 위메이드의 박세정 선수와 웅진의 윤용태 선수에게 고맙다고 말하고 싶다.
내가 지금까지 데뷔 이후 프로리그 경기장에 오지 않은 적이 단 한번도 없었는데 이번 4강을 위해 팀에서 많은 배려를 해줘서 너무 감사 드린다. 우승으로 보답하겠다.
마지막으로 결승전에서 테란전을 하는데 그동안 성훈이가 연습 전에 매번 나에게 무언가를 걸고 딜을 하는데 이번에는 뭘 원하는지는 모르겠지만 맛있는 거 많이 사주고 원하는 거 다 들어줄 테니 연습 잘 도와줬으면 좋겠다(웃음). 내가 우승하면 팀 사기도 올라갈 테니 열심히 도와주길 바란다.

Well we always hear about how much better people do in practice, so maybe practicing with Oz teammates isn't so bad.

MSL maps were difficult for Zergs, especially TvZ (Ultimatum comes to mind, with Match Point and Odd Eye not being far behind). Luckily for zergs, there's only one terran who's not mediocre nowadays.
Remember Violet.

raga4ka:
Matchpoint favors Protoss and Terran vs Zerg, whatever it is called[Fighting Spirit] is pretty even in all matchups so Zergs cannot be too happy and Ultimatum has a wide ramp that is hard to defend with only 2 lurkers
I'm posting on twoplustwo because I have always been amazed at the level of talent that populates this site --- it's almost unparalleled on the Internet.
