After a record tiebreaker, I feel pumped enough to translate the interviews for ya.


Group C: + Show Spoiler +


Group C winner Pure!!
[image loading]

How do you feel after winning in the 2nd tiebreak?

I am very happy. I wanted to advance so badly, but I got thoughts of being eliminated after losing the first game. I'm glad that I got through.

How were your games?

I wanted to advance with 2 wins. I was very confident in my gameplan against Fantasy, so I told myself to win the first game. I made the wrong call.

How did you feel when you knew there was going to be a 2nd round of tiebreak?
I was ecstatic. My hands and feet were tingly when Fantasy lost. I was thrilled to have another opportunity, and I'm glad I made the most of it.

You must have regrets in your first game against Calm.
I didn't expect him to come out with a strategic play. That's a strategy used maybe once a year, but I was shocked that I got beaten by it. I wasn't able to stay calm and lost.

You were seen as the most likely to be eliminated.
People said I was the weakest but I just prepared my game, and thought nothing about their name value. That's why I prepared the best I could.

The team must've made room for your practice.
Of course. That's why I prepared as hard as I could, but I do regret that the tiebreaker went into the 2nd round. The reason I won is because the team excused me from Proleague.

Any words going into the Ro8?
There's going to be a regional tour (Ulsan) for the Ro8. It's my first time on a tour. That's why I think I'll be a little nervous, but I hope I can play as well as I practice. Win or lose, I want to show good games.

Who do you want to face in the Ro8?
Everybody in the Ro8 are top-class. I want to face a Terran. I avoided Flash in the Ro16, but I want to face him in the Ro8, since we're going to be on a big stage.

Any last words?
I had so many but I lost them because I'm so ecstatic right now. I want to thank my teammates who sacrificed their vacations to practice with me. I also want to thank Flash for his one practice game. I'll be playing on the big stage this round, so I'll prepare very hard to show good games and results. Please cheer me on to the end.

- 재재경기 끝에 스타리그 8강에 진출한 소감은
▲ 정말 기쁘다. 올라가고 싶었는데 재경기에서 1패를 하는 바람에 이대로 떨어지나 하는 생각을 했다. 결국 이렇게 좋은 결과를 얻게 돼서 너무 기쁘다.

- 오늘 경기 어땠나
▲ 2승으로 올라가고 싶었다. 정명훈 선수와의 경기에서 사용할 필살 전략이 무조건 통한다고 생각했기 때문에 1경기만 이기자고 마음 먹었는데 판단을 잘못한 것 같다.

- 재재경기 확정됐을 때 기분이 어땠나
▲ 정말 기분 좋았다. 정명훈 선수의 패배가 확정된 순간 손발이 짜릿짜릿했다. 기회가 다시 왔다는 생각에 최선을 다했는데 결과가 좋아서 기쁘다.

- 김윤환에게 당한 패배가 무척 아쉬울 것 같다.
▲ 전략을 사용할지 생각도 못했다. 이런 전략은 1년에 한번 나올까 말까 한 전략인데 당해서 너무 당황했다. 침착하지 못해서 패한 것 같다.

- 셋 중 8강 진출 가능성이 가장 떨어진다고 평가 받았다.
▲ 사람들은 내가 가장 약하다고 평가했지만 나는 나름대로 준비를 열심히 했고, 네임 밸류에 따라 승부가 결정될 거라고 생각하지는 않았다. 그래서 최선을 다해서 준비했다.

- 팀에서 많이 배려해준 것 같다.
▲ 많이 배려해 주셨다. 그래서 연습을 충실히 했는데 재재경기가 나와서 조금 아쉽다. 프로리그에서 많이 배려해 주셔서 오늘 승리할 수 있었던 것 같다.

- 8강전에 임하는 각오
▲ 8강 지방 투어가 있는데 이번에 내게는 첫 지방 투어다. 그래서 긴장을 한 것 같은데 연습한 만큼의 경기만 했으면 좋겠다. 이기든 지든 너무 못하지만 않았으면 좋겠다.

- 8강에서는 어떤 선수와 맞붙고 싶나
▲ 8강에 진출한 선수들이 너무 대단한 것 같다. 멤버가 너무 화려하다. 일단은 테란과 경기하고 싶다. (이)영호와는 지난 조지명식에서 하기 싫어서 피했는데 이번에 8강은 큰 무대인 만큼 한번 붙어보고 싶다.

- 끝으로 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 정말 많았는데 지금은 너무 기뻐서 생각나지 않는다. 쉬는 날인데도 불구하고 연습을 도와준 우리 팀원들 너무 고맙고, 한 경기 연습해준 KT (이)영호에게도 고맙다. 이제 8강 야외 무대에서 경기를 하게 되는데 열심히 준비해서 좋은 모습 보여드릴 수 있도록 하겠다. 많이 지켜봐 주셨으면 좋겠다.


Group D is on the way.

Edit: Group D :+ Show Spoiler +

After 4 epic rounds of tiebreak, Effort makes it out of his group at the stroke of Midnight.

[image loading]


How do you feel after FINALLY advancing to the Ro8?
My mind was going crazy because there were so many tiebreaks. The other players played well, so I think I got lucky. Advancing like this makes it even sweeter.

How did you feel at the 4th tiebreak?
I always went 2nd, so there was more pressure on me. Thinking about being eliminated if I lose made it even harder.

What was the hardest point in today's games?
Playing this many games made me tired. By the 2nd half my focus started dropping considerably, so it was very difficult managing games.

Which game was the most difficult?
The first game was the most difficult. I prepared a very sharp (T/N: timing I think) build, but because the build was such a gamble there was enormous pressure. I played a little easier after that first game.

Your Ro8 opponent is Zero.
I played against him many times. I hope we can play good games. My confidence in ZvZ returned after beating Zero.

Any last words?
I want to thank my teammates for helping me practice and I want to thank the [epic] fans who stayed till the end to cheer me on.
+ Show Spoiler +

- 힘들게 8강에 올라간 소감은
▲ 오늘 정말 재경기를 너무 많이 해서 정신이 없다. 상대 선수도 잘했는데 내가 운이 좋아서 올라간 것 같다. 힘들게 올라가서 배로 기쁜 것 같다.

- 재재재재경기 끝에 올라갔는데 기분이 어떤가
▲ 오늘 계속 두 번째로 경기를 해서 부담이 더 컸던 것 같다. 지면 탈락이라는 생각에 부담이 돼서 더 힘들었다.

- 오늘 경기를 하면서 가장 힘들었던 점은 무엇인가
▲ 이렇게 경기를 많이 하다 보니 힘들었던 것 같다. 후반 집중력이 가면 갈수록 떨어지다 보니 경기를 진행하는 것이 어려웠다.

- 가장 힘들었던 경기는 무엇인가
▲ 게일 처음 경기가 힘들었다. 날카로운 빌드를 준비했는데 워낙 도박적이다 보니 부담이 컸다. 그 이후 경기들은 조금 더 편하게 한 것 같다.

- 8강 상대는 김명운이다.
▲ 김명운 선수와도 경기를 많이 해봤다. 좋은 경기를 했으면 좋겠다. 김명운 선수 이기고 나서 잃었던 저그전 자신감을 되찾겠다.

- 끝으로 하고 싶은 말은
▲ 연습 도와준 선수들 모두 고맙고 끝까지 남아서 응원해주신 팬 분들께 감사 드린다.

Nothing about EffOrt getting a rematch?

Always count on Fomos to dodge the single most interesting / important / controversial issue in its post-match interviews…

Thank you for the translations, jpak!

Effort shouldn't have advanced it seems... KeSPA decided to handle win to Jaedong after the power outage while here mouse problems lead to re-game.

I will have to wait for vods but it seems like Effort was completely screwed when he typed ppp judging from LR.

This whole situation makes me feel bitter again about MSL finals.

Can someone explain what happened with this mouse incident?? Is it in the videos? Or was it cut out?

Sounds interesting =P

How can you first after 20min realize that your mouse is fucked up???? And how can the refs give him a regame when he is this retarded?

First these two cases are incomparable. And second how many times has it been proved that JD was way ahead and clearly deserved his win? The only thing to be bitter is that Flash fans will always have the excuse that Jaedong got a free win.

Effort didnt have the problem in his other games? Which would actually prove that it was the computer's problem, not his mouse.

so basically, in this crucial muta scourge battle, Effort lost a ton of mutalisks to scourge and whatnot.
Effort then types pp and pauses as he claims that something is wrong with his mouse. After reviewing replay and determining that there was something wrong with the mouse (not his control/assuming progamer level here b/c it is the Starleague), they try to find out whether it was a hardware malfunction, or a computer error. And because they were not able to find out which, they decided to call a rematch.
Which resulted in this ridiculously long tiebreaker.

I honestly think that it was Effort's mouse that just broke down, so he should be held responsible, and Shine should have won.

But w/e its the judges rulings
and it gave us the epic tiebreaker series

Gratz to Effort for the win though, those games must have been tough for everyone

edit:

Effort didnt have the problem in his other games? Which would actually prove that it was the computer's problem, not his mouse.


If anything that should support the fact that his mouse broke during that game. It is more unlikely that the computer had problem when it was working fine I think.

On retrospection, it's kind of debatable, whether or not it was really Effort's fault.
I mean sure it is his mouse, but if you mouse randomly breaks midgame... its not really your fault.
I'm not sure on the exact rules, but its kind of a hard decision to make. I mean it is kind of unfair to the opponent to regame because mouse broke :/
but at the same time...

Waking up at 8 am and seeing Group D still going made me laugh so hard... I hope more crazy stuff like this happens (But not too often.) Nice "Effort" : )

People have said what they think when watching the VODs, not the games. They knew nothing about the actual resources or what was popping out of eggs/structures at the moment.
Flash said he think he was in a decent spot and was really angry about the decision.

Nothing is really proven.
so don't state is as some fact.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

I hope Effort gets raped in ro8. That guy pulled some bullshit. He played like 2 whole games then suddenly he complained the moment he was about to lose.

I cannot believe it was the computer's fault. How many games were played on that computer prior to Effort's game that worked just fine? I mean, what could possibly go wrong in a computer to justify Effort's own mouse breaking down?

I bet that fucking crushed Shine's spirit and his play got sloppy. Effort sucks vs. zerg, sucks vs. terran. and is only decent vs. P. Did you see how close the game was even though Effort went 9 pool speed vs. 12 hatch? Fuck, I hope he gets raped by Zero and fails in SPL.
