I know it was yesterday, but no one bothered with the interview, so I just decided to translate the Chinese one from wfbrood. I can't read chinese to save my life (I'm chinese but I can't only really listen and speak it), its late, first interview translation, so if its wrong, please don't start bitching at me.

I did this because the winner had some very interesting things to say.

Stork
Your thoughts on the match?
-I don't really remember starting off in set 1 and winning. I think we were able to win because I set the pace early on.

In your last game, you lost because you didn't scout lomo's build with you observer.
-I originally wanted to use my observer to scout, but I thought lomo wouldn't go bionic so I didn't bother sending the observer in. I thought since lomo would mech, I would just go for carriers and win. That match taught me to think of all possibilities. If I bring proper countermeasures, I'm pretty sure I can win. In the past I had similar experiences; however I couldn't react properly this time. I reflected over the loss a lot and decided that I would prepare better during practice.

Its been a while since you played in front of such an audience.
-When we came to the stadium, we saw a lot of people. We had a weird feeling in the prep room. After the match ended, I became every envious after hearing all of great's fan cheering him on. I will do my best in the next season in the PL and individual league to receive similar support from the fans.

You heard flash didn't come right?
-We found out when we saw kt in the prep room. I don't know if his coach requested the time off or he himself did, but it was very disappointing. I have had times when I was busy with individual leagues yet I still managed to come to the proleague matches. I originally wanted to play him, so I practiced my pvt, but it was a let down.

Your next match is against estro, any thoughts?
-Because I've been busy with practice, I haven't really watched the proleague. So I don't know who gets sent out for estro, but I will beat anyone who plays me. Its getting near the end of the proleague season and every win is very important, so I will definitely win.

Any last thoughts?
-Because a lot of fans came, it made the match fun. I hope more fans will come again in the future so that we can perform even better. I also wanted to play flash today. During skt v kt, I saw fantasy beat flash. Although fantasy only beat flash once, he seemed very happy. It was probably because he beat an unbeatable opponent. But I think different. Although flash is very good, it is not like he is unbeatable. I would like to play him once and win to prove that flash is beatable.

My god. I just noticed how much stork says in his interviews.

+ Show Spoiler +

brave
You won set 4 and gave your team some hope.
-Being down 1-2, it put a lot of burden on me; however, my coach told me to not to worry and that I would win if I played like I practiced. I managed to calm down a little and win because of that.

The dark templars won you your match.
-I thought during practice, if my upon is not very well defended, I would use dark templars. My first wave of goons and zealot couldn't take down the sunken so I could only use the dark templars to deny his expansions. (thanks to themonkyguy for this part!)

You haven't appeared in a while.
-When I usually play, there aren't many fans that come, but there were many fans that came today and it made me nervous. I am glad I won.

Do you like it when there is a big audience?
-When there are many people, it makes it very exciting. I hope they come again in the future matches.

Samsung protoss is very strong, so this no minimum race requirement must be helping you.
-I am very glad that they have this new format. It allows players to have more chance at a playing spot.

You gained some experience today.
-It seems like there is no change. I had trouble sleeping the night before the match, but I am not tired right now. I hope I do well this season. I think playing in dream league has helped me greatly.

Any last words?
-Before every match, one of my fans comes to see if I would play or not. I am very glad that I have a devoted fan and I would work hard in the future for him.

great
Your thoughts on the match?
-Today is like hell (laugh). I am glad I won the ace match to balance out the loss from earlier.

In the set 3 you were in excellent position but you couldn't win. What happened?
-I thought I was in a good position with my hydralisks, but stats killed off my overlord and I was supply blocked. I wanted to end the game with the hydralisks, but then I couldn't replenish my hydralisk count. Stat's dt play was pretty good too.

In the ace match, you were in a slightly bad position after the zergling battles.
-When I scouted hoejja's base, he did exactly what I thought. I am glad that I made the sunken, if it wasn't for that I would of gged.

If you won set 3 you wouldn't of had to play ace match.
-Last season, I played many ace matches so I wasn't pressured. A lot of fans came today so I want them to be happy.

Samsung's playoff spot is looking promising.
-Our team is only ranked 9th, but there is still many games to come. If we do well, we can't make it to top 6. Our team is very experienced in the playoffs, so I believe we can show good results in the playoffs.

Your next match is against estro, anyone particular you want to play?
-Like before, I want to play against really and hyvaa. But lately my condition isn't as good, if I lose, that will be really bad. (laughs) If I get a chance to go I will definitely practice hard.

Any last words?
-The fans came to celebrate my 2 year anniversary since my debut, but I lost my first match and I couldn't even say hello. I want to use this to thank my fans.

Dissapointed that flash didn't have to play 2 games of proleague the day before 2x Bo5's. I'm dissapointed in you stork!
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 still managed to come to the proleague matches" I thinks he means visiting only not playing.

Let me reread it. I wish they had it in japanese. Japanese is easier to read >.<

Original text: 我以前也有过日程满满的情况,但我个人联赛和战队联赛都会出战

都会出战 so I'm pretty sure he means play in them too.

Sheesh what's with all the hyper-sensitivity... I dont think Stork meant to communicate any hard feelings about it, him and Flash are on good terms. He's just hungry for some Terran scalps

I think he did it in 2008 when he played Best and Kal in bo5's back-to-back. Dragon season like no other.

But he ended up losing to Kal after halting Best's monster streak.

Hahaha. Maybe if Stork had achieved anywhere near as many PL wins in a season as Flash has, his team would have been far enough ahead for him to skip matches too.

The "controversial" Stork Line, better translated. This is a little bit more stinging.

>> 이영호가 출전하지 않는다는 소식을 들었는지
Did you hear about Flash not playing today?
>>▲ 대기실에 KT 선수들이 들어오는 것을 보고 알았다. 모든 팀이 프로리그에 집중하는 상황에서 최고라고 불리는 선수가 개인리그 연습을 위해 불참하는 것을 보고 ‘약간 자신감이 없나’라는 생각이 들었다. 팀에서 의도적으로 빼준 건지 본인이 요청한 것인지는 모르겠지만 많이 아쉬웠다. 나도 예전에 스케줄이 많을 때는 개인리그와 프로리그 모두 준비하고 출전했었다. 오늘 한번 맞붙어보고 싶어서 연습도 테란전 위주로 준비했는데 그러지 못해서 더욱 아쉬웠다.
I learned about it watching the KT players coming into the waiting room. After seeing the player that is considered the best not playing in order to practice for individual leagues in a situation where every team is concentrating on the proleague, I wondered if he was lacking a little confidence. I'm not sure if the team purposely didn't let him play or if it was requested by himself, but I was very disappointed. Back when my schedule was full, I prepared and play for both my individual and proleague games. I wanted to play him today, so I prepared my Terran matchup, so it was a bit more disappointing for me.

>>- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
Anything else you want to add?
>>▲ 오늘 정말 많은 팬 여러분들께서 찾아와주셔서 너무 즐겁게 경기를 한 것 같다. 앞으로도 이렇게 많이 찾아와주시면 더욱 재미있는 경기를 많이 만들 수 있을 것 같다.


>>그리고 오늘은 내가 출전하는 경기에서 꼭 (이)영호와 맞붙고 싶었다. 결과는 경기를 해봐야 하지만 나는 이길 수 있다는 자신감이 있다. SK텔레콤과 KT의 경기에서 정명훈 선수가 너무 좋아하는 것을 봤다. 한 경기를 이겼을 뿐인데 더욱 좋아하는 것 같기도 하고 주위에서나 언론에서도 마치 못 이길 상대를 이긴 것처럼 말하는 것으로 비쳐지는 것이 내 생각과는 조금 다르다. 영호가 잘하는 선수긴 하지만 못 이길 상대는 아니다. 그렇기 때문에 나에게 기회가 주어진다면 꼭 승리를 거둬서 충분히 이길 수 있는 선수라는 것을 보여주고 싶었다. 앞으로 5라운드 경기가 남아있는데 기회가 된다면 꼭 영호와 붙어서 멋진 경기를 펼치고 싶다.

I really wanted to play against Flash today in one of my matchups. While you can only know the results after playing, I am confident that I am able to win. I watched in the SKT vs KT game fantasy being too happy. I thought he was being too happy since he only managed to beat flash once, and while everyone speaks as if Flash is some unbeatable opponent, I think otherwise. While Flash is a good player, he is not an unbeatable opponent. So that's why, if I am given a chance, I wanted to play Flash to win in order to show that Flash is indeed beatable. There are the 5th round games left, and if the chance is there, I definitely want to play against Flash and play a great match.
