I bumped into this on playsc.com, since no one has done it yet I figured might as well be me enjoy!

+ Show Spoiler +

CJ Entus's manage/head coach Cho Gyu Nam: (Z)EffOrt's win is not just a win for himself.
[image loading]

- (Z)EffOrt became the OSL champion today, how do you feel?
▲ Truly very happy, it felt just like when (T)XellOs won the Olympus OSL.


- As a matter of fact many experts predicted a (T)Flash victory.
▲ Although I'm talking in hindsight, but I still must say that the pre-match predictions were too rash. During the preparation for the finals I already saw hopes of winning through (Z)EffOrt's performance. I felt that this time he definitely won't play mediocre games. After the 4th set I could already see the face of a champion on (Z)EffOrt.

- (Z)EffOrt was dangerously behind 0:2 at one point.
▲ Today's match was absolutely extraordinary. Oddly enough, I was feeling strangely calm when he was down 0:2. In the end he won, so I can say this out now (laugh). I didn't give him any specific advice, I saw the other players gave him some build order suggestions. I never felt uneasy, I never thought he would lose. I believed in (Z)EffOrt.

- There was a re-game for the first set, you did not protest against it strongly.
▲ Actually I would usually protest against something like that, but today's mood was differen't from the get go. At the time (Z)EffOrt scouted (T)Flash's build order so we were at an advantage, but because it was such an important match, (Z)EffOrt would definitely be affected negatively if I started raging.

- (Z)EffOrt winning today would no doubt bring positive influence to CJ.
▲ (P)Movie also got into the OSL final last season, but this time it is even more important. I have always emphasized the importance of individual leagues for my players, because it will definitely affect their performance in SPL. (Z)EffOrt's win is not just a win for himself, it will bring a positive influence to the entire team. I'm sure this will greatly motivate our team in SPL from now on.

- Do you have anything to say to the fans?
▲ There has been alot of bad news lately, but today we saw the love and passion from the fans, and it is proof that esport will have a bright future ahead. If the fans weren't passionate, they wouldn't be angry. The ones who left were those who have left, but I hope everyone would see more truth about the people who have stayed. If everyone can believe in us, and supporting us as always, we promise that we will repay everyone's kindness with even more exciting games.

I laughed hard at this part:

That is so amazing haha. Wish he would have mentioned Savior directly, but I guess all of CJ is trying to forget about that right now. Congrats Effort and thanks for the translation monkey!

Oh wow this really is a sign like Savior is completely erased from CJ history, as he won Shinhan much more recently than Olympus.

I wish he'd say more about the Savior stuff, but I completely understand that he didn't.

KT coaching staff, look and learn from a true master and a caring coach for his players.

my thoughts exactly. Looks like CJ (or ESPORTS as a whole) doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, and I don't blame it.

Coach Cho is like the only reason I can find some peace with Flash losing this OSL. Thanks for translating.

CJ is so awesome.

This is the spirit of CJ, and also of being a CJ fan. Positivity, loyalty, and support. In the end, who cares about random things that happened years ago? Who cares about maintaining old grudges? Who cares about bonjwas, and delays, and esports drama?

For CJ, it's about supporting the team, and knowing that in the end, CJ will prevail.

Some spelling mistakes you might want to correct:
didn't gave = didn't give
definately = definitely
emphesised = emphasized


Edited, I always welcome corrections

Coach Cho has always been extremely well liked and respected amongst the Chinese netizens for being a caring coach as well as a shrewd tactician.

Cho wreaks of awesomeness. Not only did he report the under the table dealings to the authorities, but he knows how to keep a cool, calm demeanor. My hat goes off to the guy.

Hahah it feels like Savior is "You know who" or "The one who shall not be named".
He has been erased from esport history.

Lol, nice reference.

Coach Cho is definitely dodging any question that could possibly trigger a mentioning of Savior.

Best coach in e-sport. He truly cares.
