I'm going to translate the article from fomos.co.kr since I'm not good at creating original content.

KT Rolster Wins the Shinhan Bank Proleague 09~10 regular season.

On 28th, 6PM KST, KT Rolster won 3:1 against Woongjin Stars at Yongsan e-Sports Stadium (OGN) during Shinhan Bank Proleague 09~10 5th Round, 5th week 3rd match.

Before the match, KT Rolster had 34 Wins, 16 Loss with 43 point difference, holding onto the magic number '1'. After winning against Woongjin Stars, their record changed to 35 Wins, 16 Losses with 45 point difference, clutching them with the title 'Champion' even with the 4 games that they have to play later during the season. KT Rolster also won the ticket to the Pusan Gwang-Ahn-Ri Beach Special Stage for the Shinhan Bank Proleague 09-10 Finals on August 7th.

KT Rolster played amazingly well during Round 1 with 10 Wins and 1 Loss. After grabbing the first place during Round 1, KT never dropped down from the No. 1 position. KT Rolster also took home the title from Winnersleague 09~10, forshadowing their regular season title.

However, KT Rolster also had their dangerous moments. With 6 Wins and 5 Losses during Round 4, STX SOUL caught up to KT with 9 Wins and 2 Losses, leaving STX only 3 games behind KT. Things started to get worse when KT went 1 Win 5 Losses during first 6 games of Round 5, almost giving up their Number 1 spot to STX. However, STX SOUL started to slump along with KT, going 1 Win and 6 Losses, including 5 game losing streak. This gave KT Rolster a chance to step up and lower the magic number required for them to secure the title, going one step closer every single game.

For first time in 5 years, and second time in KT's history, KT Rolster took home the Regular Season Champion trophy with their victory in Proleague 09~10 Regular Season. Back in 2005, during the KTF MagicNs era, KTF took home their first regular season title with 10 game winning streak during Round 1 of Sky Proleague 2005.

After their victory over Woongjin Stars and clutching the title, KT Rolster received 50000000 South Korean won (41567.9500 US dollars) and the Winner's Trophy.

From fomos.co.kr:
KT 롤스터가 신한은행 프로리그 09-10 정규시즌 우승을 차지했다.

KT는 28일 오후 6시 용산 e스포츠 상설경기장에서 열린 신한은행 프로리그 09-10 5라운드 5주차 3경기 웅진 스타즈와의 대결에서 3:1 승리를 거뒀다.

경기 전까지 34승 16패 득실차 43을 기록하며 매직넘버 ‘1’을 남겨뒀던 KT는 이날 웅진을 상대로 승리를 거두면서 35승 16패 득실차 45를 기록, 이번 시즌 남은 4경기 결과에 관계없이 정규시즌 우승을 확정했다. 이로써 KT는 오는 8월 7일 부산 광안리 해수욕장 특설무대에서 열리는 신한은행 프로리그 09-10 결승전 진출권도 획득했다.

KT 롤스터는 09-10 시즌 1라운드에서 10승 1패로 1위를 차지한 이후로 한번도 선두 자리를 내주지 않으며 독주를 계속했고, 승자 연전 방식으로 진행된 위너스 리그에서도 우승을 차지하며 정규시즌 우승을 예고했다.

위기도 있었다. KT가 4라운드에서 6승 5패로 주춤한 사이 STX SOUL이 9승 2패로 추격에 나서며 선두를 3경기 차이로 추격했기 때문이다. 게다가 KT는 5라운드 초반 연패를 당하면서 1승 5패로 부진, 9개월 가까이 지켜온 선두를 내줄 위기에 처했다. 하지만 2위 STX가 5연패에 빠지며 1승 6패로 덩달아 부진하면서 매직넘버를 줄이며 우승에 한발씩 다가갈 수 있었다.

KT는 이번 신한은행 프로리그 09-10 정규시즌 우승으로 프로리그에서 5년 만에, 통산 두 번째 정규시즌 우승 트로피를 차지했다. KT는 전신인 지난 2005년 KTF 매직엔스 시절 스카이 프로리그 2005 1라운드에서 10전 전승으로 창단 후 첫 프로리그 정규시즌 우승을 차지한 바 있다.

신한은행 프로리그 09-10 정규시즌 우승을 차지한 KT 롤스터에게는 경기 종료 후 우승 트로피와 함께 5천만원의 우승 상금이 수여됐다.





Winners of KT Rolster vs Woongjin Stars



Tempest: I was glad that I contributed to our team's victory
[image loading]


- You won today with a nice performance
▲ I'm just happy that I was able to contribute to our team's victory in Proleague.

- Your strategy was very good.
▲ While I was analyzing the VOD's, the strategy came up into my mind. After thinking to myself that the build was going to work 100% and optimizing the strategy, I had a good feeling about it. When I told the coaches about it, they told me to use for the sake of Gwang-Ahn-Ri.

- Are you ready to come up with interesting and amazing strategies for Gwang-Ahn-Ri, just like today?
▲ I'm always trying my best, so I think I'll have good strategies again by the time when Proleague Finals arrive.

- Aren't you jealous of Violet and Stats? Recently, they have been doing well.
▲ I've never thought of it that way. I think the problem is within myself. Since I've been living together with Violet and Stats for few years now, I want to see the light (as in, victory, or doing well) with them. Also, I think my performance improved due to the fact that Violet and Stats have been doing well.

- Comparing yourself to Violet and Stats, what do you lack or need improvement on?
▲ I think I'm lacking stability. And also, I think I lost trust and faith from the coaches when I made mistakes in the past games, where I had many chances to go out and play for the team. Back in the days, I wasn't able to recover from it. However, with enough practice and fidelity between coaches and myself, I think I earned their trust again. Right now, I'm confident to say that I'm the hardest worker in the team.

- How are you going to prepare for the Finals?
▲ Overall strategy and performance will be up to the Coaches to figure out. I'll try to do my best to support my team in any method possible.

- Which team do you want to fact at the Finals?
▲ I think facing SKTelecom would be the best choice for gathering attention. If we win against our telecommunications rival at the finals, it would be the best victory that KT will ever have. Personally, I want our team to win at Gwang-Ahn-Ri with SKT as the sacrifice.

- Final words?
▲ I am thankful for everything, especially the coaching staff who always work hard, my teammates, and the fans who always cheer for me and my team.




Stats: We finally did it
[image loading]


- Your thoughts on winning today?
▲ I'm really happy that out team finally did it. I want to congratulate and thank my teammates, who worked hard for this.

- Your recent performances are amazing.
▲ Rather than good performances from myself, the great performances and games from my teammates were the bigger factors. I started improving as our team started winning. It seems like I responded to my team's expectations, so I am very happy.

- Due to Flash's recent slump, it seems like there's more weight on your shoulders now...
▲ Flash always practices very well so I think he will step up and get his pace back pretty soon. I also practiced very hard, thinking that adding my recent performances to the team will help our team win.

- Did you expect ZerO to come out?
▲ I expected him to come out. However, even with the expectation, ZerO's near-perfect control mixing up with my mistakes, such as losing the Corsair, made the game harder than I originally planned. Luckily, I won the game so I'm happy.

- Now you can play the final 4 games without any pressure.
▲ I will try my best to reach my goal, which was winning 20 games this year.

- Who do you want to face in the Finals?
▲ I really haven't thought about it, so I don't know. Personally I don't care who we face.

- Any final words?
▲ I want to thank Coach H.O.T-Forever for helping my PvZ from the side and all the teammates who helped me out for today's game. I also want to tell Flash that he did well (in order to comfort him), despite his loss today.



Other translation will come later tonight or tomorrow morning. I've never knew how hard Interview translations were. Sorry if the translation is bad; this was my first attempt at translating an interview.

Congrats to them.

But I feel like at the rate they're going they're not going to win the finals.

Though I guess they did beat woojin pretty handily.

well, they could beat woongjin even with flash failing, so they arent completely helpless. on the other hand, chances are high for the grand final to go to the super ace, where they really got a problem if their only legitimate ace-player flash continues his ace match slump.

now i wonder which team will be facing kt. my bet is skt, but wemade and cj look strong aswell.
anyways, gratz to kt rolster for a formidable proleague season.

Flash, ForGG, Stats, Violet, Tempest, Hoejja with a possible Flash again for ace is a pretty solid lineup. It'll all come down to matchups I suppose, but they're not the most matchup dependent team out there. Either way it should be exciting, but I wouldn't give than more than a 50% chance to win realistically unless Hoejja has managed to dramatically improved his game.

If KT had a good Zerg, maybe... At this rate (KT has been doing really badly lately.. mostly due to Flash ace-match failing), KT will probably lose in the finals.

This poll is a bit misleading... All the non-KT supporters will vote 'No' as they think their team will beat KT! The poll results will be a whole lot different when KT's opponent has been decided.
Same difference is not an oxymoron!

Yeah, it all comes down to matchups just like Trap says. Violet and Stats have been playing really solid lately.. Flash's aces have been questionable lately, but as a KT fan, I have faith :0 And man... Hoejja man, i love you and your zvp, but pleaseeee improve your vT and vZ... But yeah, unless Hoejja shakes off his inconsistent plays, looks like it'll be up to Flash violet and stats. (maybe Tempest) KT HWAITING!!!
Hoejja is Bonjwa

Congratulations, KT

But unfortunately SKT will rape you hardcore. The only reason that you are where you are is because Bisu slumped. That, of course, has been swiftly amended.

Thanks for the translation. Tempest is a nice guy. I hope he will provide us with some entertaining strategy for the PL final.

KT vs SKT finals. This is the absolute best thing I could hope for. last year's shitty oz/skt match with jaedong getting raped 0-3 was funny, but i think everyone saw an skt victory that time.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. Oz was lucky to get to an ace match at all. Most people expected 4-1 SKT for both sets, lol.

I want to see CJ vs KT though. CJ has a killer lineup for this format.
