MSL Ro32 Group F
2-0 Winner: (T)Hwasin
“I’ll make sure to rise high this season”


[image loading]


Q: How do you feel about advancing to Ro16 10 times in a row?
A: I’ve been hearing that a lot lately so it’s starting to pressure me, but I was able to laugh when I had advanced. It wasn’t because I won, but the situation was funny.

Q: Do you think Group F was good for you?
A: I was hoping that no one would change my group during the Group Selection, so I was glad it stayed the same.

Q: You played against 2 Zergs
A: I was confident in my TvP as well from practicing a lot of it. I practiced thinking that I might have to play in the final match as well. I never thought about dropping out though.

Q: You showed an off-beat timing rush
A: I use it sometimes during practice and I thought of it on the spot. I needed a bit of luck, but it worked well because I scouted him thoroughly. There was a Drone blocking the ramp and Zergs usually don’t go that poor so I somewhat expected it.

Q: Does it pressure you to win the title because it’s your 10th consecutive Ro16 appearance?
A: It made me laugh rather than pressuring me (laughs). I don’t do well when I advance higher, but I somehow manage to win all my Ro32 games so it made me laugh. It feels so weird too. I don’t even know how I do so well in Ro32 myself. It just works out well no matter who my opponent is. I don’t know if it’s luck, but I usually advance easily.

Q: You probably want to go higher this time
A: People asked me this so much (laughs). During my first MSL, I went up to Ro4 and the fact that I advanced to Ro16 10 times straight makes me feel good. Although my fans were probably disappointed until now, I’ll definitely try my hardest to rise up high.

Q: Anything else?
A: I don’t have anything special to say, but I thank my teammates for helping me practice.

- 10회 연속 16강 진출에 오른 소감은
▲ 그런 말을 최근에 너무 많이 들어서 부담은 좀 되는데, 진출 확정되고 나서 웃음이 나왔다. 이긴게 좋아서 웃은게 아니라 그냥 이 상황이 웃겼다(웃음).

- F조의 구성은 괜찮았나
▲ 조지명식 때 내 옆 상대가 바뀌지 않았으면 좋겠다고 생각했는데, 안 바뀌어서 맘에 들었었다.

- 저그만 두 명을 만났는데
▲ 프로토스전도 연습을 많이 해서 자신은 있었다. 최종전에 갈 수도 있다는 생각으로 준비를 해두긴 했다. 떨어진다는 생각은 하지 않았다.

- 엇박자 타이밍 러쉬를 선보였다
▲ 연습 때 가끔 사용하던건데 즉흥적으로 해봤다. 운이 조금 필요하기는 한데, 상대를 봐 가면서 하면 잘 통할 수 있다. 입구를 드론 한 마리가 막고 있고, 그렇게 가난하게 하는 저그는 별로 없어서 어느 정도 예상했다.

- 10회 연속 진출이라던가 하는 타이틀이 부담되지는 않는지
▲ 부담이라기 보단 그냥 웃겼다(웃음). 올라가서는 잘 못 하는데, 32강에서만 다 이기니까 웃기기도 하고 신기하기도 했다. 32강에서 왜 잘하는지는 나도 잘 모르겠다. 상대와 잘 맞물리면서 이상하게 잘 풀리는 것 같다. 32강 때는 늘 운이 따라줘서 그런지 쉽게 올라가게 된다.

- 이번 시즌은 좀 더 높은 곳으로 향하고 싶을텐데
▲ 이런 질문은 너무 많이 받았다(웃음). 첫 진출 때 4강에 가고 이번이 딱 10회 째인데 의미 있는 시작을 한 것 같아서 느낌이 좋고, 그 동안 팬 분들도 실망 많이 하셨겠지만 이번엔 확실히 높이 올라갈 수 있게 열심히 하겠다.

- 마지막으로 더 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 특별히 더 하고 싶은 말은 없고, 연습을 도와준 팀원들에게 고맙다.



MSL Ro32 Group F
2-1 Winner: (P)JangBi
“My goal is always to win”


[image loading]


Q: How do you feel about advancing to Ro16?
A: I was hoping to advance with clean 2-0, but I lost in game 1. The build I used in game 1 is my team’s traditional strategy (laughs).

Q: You showed a strategic movement, but it failed
A: When Zerg spawns at the top, it’s normal for the Zerg to not be able to pass through the Forge-Gateway wall-in even when the Gateway is destroyed. But when my Gateway was destroyed right after it finished, I knew that I made a mistake. If I had just built a Core, I could have been watching the final match at home right now, but it’s disappointing (laughs).

Q: You only played Zergs today
A: It’s my most confident matchup recently and it became my favorite as well. It gets more fun as I play so I think my skill is improving. I used to feel this way for PvT in the past, but now it’s beginning to change.

Q: Did you feel insecure after losing the first game?
A: I didn’t feel insecure. I wanted to play against (Z)ZerO again in the final round so I rooted for (T)Hwasin in winner’s match (laughs).

Q: You advanced to Ro16 last season
A: My goal in MSL is to win every time. I always think about winning whenever a new season starts. The fact that I lost my chance to win in the past bothered me. I sometimes think that had I won previously, I would be different right now.

Q: Since Proleague ended, you must have free time
A: Rather than being free, my entire team is practicing intensely for R4 and R5. We must get in top 6 by the end of R5 in order to advance to the playoffs. I practiced for individual leagues too, but since it’s map testing period, I prepared for that and our ranking matches.

Q: How is the new map Triathlon?
A: I think in PvZ, Protoss is better, and I’m not sure about PvT yet.

Q: Did you ever think about using the neutral Arbiter?
A: I wanted to steal it quickly in the beginning, but I changed my build when the game began. You might see it later in the tournament (laughs). I think it’s good that there are a lot of neutral Arbiters around the map. I think I can use it just for cloaking purposes.

Q: Anything else?
A: I always plan to win in every league and to advance to the finals. I was practicing for MSL in middle of map testing and I thank my teammates for helping me practice. It wasn’t that many people, but just the fact that they helped me for my individual league is something to be thankful for. I’ll treat only the people who helped me practice (laughs).

- 16강에 진출한 소감은
▲ 오늘은 깔끔하게 2승으로 올라가길 바랐는데, 1경기에서 아쉽게 졌다. 1경기에서 사용했던건 우리 팀에서 전통으로 내려오는 전략이다(웃음).

- 전략적인 움직임을 보였는데 실패했다
▲ 원래 저그가 위쪽 자리면 프로토스가 포지-게이트를 지으니까 게이트가 파괴당해도 포지가 있어서 못 지나갔어야 정상이다. 그런데 게이트가 완성되고도 파괴당해버려서 실수했구나 싶었다. 그때 코어만 지어서 막았어도 지금 편하게 집에서 최종전을 보고 있었을지도 모르는데 아쉽다(웃음).

- 오늘 내내 저그전만 했는데
▲ 요새 저그전을 가장 자신 있어 하기도 하고, 가장 좋아하는 종족전이 됐다. 하면할수록 재미있어서 실력도 늘게 되는 것 같고, 예전에는 테란전이 재미있고 자신 있었는데 요즘은 바뀌고 있다.

- 첫 경기에서 지고나서 불안하지는 않았나
▲ 불안하지는 않았다. 빨리 최종전에서 김명운 선수를 만나고 싶어서 승자전 경기 때 진영수 선수를 응원했다(웃음).

- 지난 시즌은 16강까지 갔었는데
▲ 항상 MSL에 임할 때마다 똑같이 목표는 우승이다. 새 시즌을 시작할 때마다 우승만 생각하고 있다. 예전에 기회가 왔는데도 우승을 못 했던게 한이 됐다. 그 때 우승을 했더라면 내가 많이 달라졌을텐데 하는 생각도 가끔 한다.

- 프로리그가 쉬고 있어 좀 여유가 있을 것 같은데
▲ 팀 전체가 여유롭기 보다는 4-5라운드를 대비해서 열심히 연습하고 있다. 5라운드가 끝날 때쯤 6위 안에 들어서 광안리에 가야 한다. 개인리그도 준비를 하기는 했는데, 맵 테스트 기간이다 보니까 그걸 준비하면서 랭킹전도 했다.

- 신맵 트라이애슬론은 어떤 것 같나
▲ 프로토스 대 저그는 프로토스가 나은 것 같고, 프로토스 대 테란은 조금 더 해봐야 알 것 같다.

- 중립 아비터를 활용해볼 생각은 없었는지
▲ 원래 초반에 빨리 뺏어서 쓰려고 했었는데, 막상 시작하니까 빌드를 바꿔버렸다. 나중에라도 한 번 볼 수 있을지도 모른다(웃음). 맵 여기저기에 중립 아비터가 많아서 좋은 것 같다. 그냥 클로킹의 용도 정도로만 사용할 수 있을 것 같다.

- 마지막으로 더 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 항상 리그에 임하는 자세는 우승이고, 결승에 가는 것이다. 맵 테스트 연습하면서 쉬엄쉬엄 MSL연습도 했는데, 연습을 도와준 선수들에게 고맙다. 정말 몇 명 되지는 않지만, 그래도 내 개인리그 경기인데 도와줬다는 자체가 고맙다. 도와준 사람에게만 맛있는걸 사주겠다(웃음).

We need to plot a graph:

Of interviews done by Lyriene:

Number of minutes after the interviews appear on fomos vs. Number of minutes after the interviews are translated by Lyriene.

You'd see like a cluster near the origin.

FOR KHAN! Go Jangbi, cut down those zerg mofos! I Lb'ed Hwasin without even thinking. Obvious choice. I would LB Hwasin even if it was up vs. Flash for a ro16 spot.

I totally failed my liquibets tonight, but these interviews are hilarious.
10 freaking times? Why did I ever doubt...
Also rofl @ Jangbi: "these are our traditional strategies..."

I agree with Mystlord, I think I'll make a graph to include with the next OP^^

Maybe we should all just recognize Hwasin as one of the best in history...?

WTF 10 STRAIGHT WTF IS THIS SPARTA
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.
