Thoughts on the team winning?
Jaedong: It’s happy to sweep the opponent. The feeling of a 3-0 victory really is the best! [laugh]
Backho: Ah, this is a winner’s interview 300 days in the making. Like some of those old players, it’s a strange feeling getting a win after so long. But I’m very happy to welcome this victory.
Hiya: Even though we unfortunately can’t make playoffs, we still want a good finish, so we’ve been trying hard. It feels like a valuable training experience, so I’m happy.
You’re always strong in front of Hite.
Jaedong: No special reason for it. It’s just that I can keep winning, so I get more and more confident. Now it feels if the opponent is Hite, I don’t have a losing feeling. I think that’s why the wins can continue.
Your opponent was a newcomer Protoss Britney.
Jaedong: It was an easy game. I felt good, and the Zerglings managed to sneak in in the beginning, so I won easily. I was considering if I should mass Mutas to end it quickly, so I massed Mutas.
Did you play so relaxed because you can’t make playoffs anymore, so there’s no pressure?
Jaedong: Because we can’t make the playoffs it’s true I can play freely in games. Our team must free ourselves from the must-win pressure, and play like we do in practice.
Your momentum is returning.
Backho: It’s good. Even though the team lost against Ace, I won, and after I won, I was in a really good move. I felt like it was the best win in my entire career. But it’s also disappointing to only be able to win at the end of the season. If I can recover some more and re-join the team full force, I felt like we could’ve got into the playoffs, so I’m sorry to the teammates.
Are you sorry you had to leave everything to Perfectman?
Backho: Of course I feel bad for him. But from another perspective, it’s a chance for Perfectman. Before, when Anytime-hyung was the ace, I was like unemployed, but then he went to the airforce, so my chance came. I felt like I took advantage of the opportunity, but Perfectman didn’t seem to have been able to, which is a pity.
What are your thoughts when you’re watching everyone else play?
Backho: I felt like I couldn’t do anything for the team, so I could only hope my teammates perform well. I’m really looking forward to Perfectman doing better.
Are you satisfied with the record this season?
Hiya: I should at least get to the level I was last season, I actually did something last season. After last season, I was in a losing streak, and I’m only recovering at the end of this season, which makes me happy. I feel like SPL teaches you a lot.
It’s a pity you can’t make the playoffs.
Hiya: True, very disappointing. Now, we’ll practice with this disappointment, and we’ll definitely do better next season.
You lost the race for most wins.
Jaedong: Flash did very well this season, I can’t catch up. It’s a pity I couldn’t get most wins, but I wasn’t in the lead once this season, so there’s not much to dwell on. I have no regrets about my record.
Now you only need to prepare for the individual leagues.
Jaedong: There’s only one SPL game left, so I’m relaxed. There are only the individual leagues left. I will prepare with a calm attitude. There’s plenty of time, I’m expectant of the individual leagues.
Thoughts looking back on this season?
Hiya: There are a lot of regrets in the games I played, and that makes me feel like I still have a lot of faults. I must amend these faults, and I will return to the level I was at before next season, when we were fighting for the championship.
Backho: In 55 games I only played 9, and even so, my record isn’t good. Now, it’s at the end of the season, and I’ve returned like this. Next season, after a good rest, I will definitely remove all doubts about “Hwaseung Protosses” from everyone’s mind.
Last words?
Jaedong: It’s a strange feeling to think about the season ending. There was no rest throughout the year, and after all this time, we ended up being eliminated, so it’s true we’re disappointed. But there are still the individual leagues, and I will focus and prepare, and fight for a good result. I hope the fans support more. Also, the Jaedong café prepared a lot of gifts in commemoration of 300 wins, so thanks to them a lot.
Backho: I sincerely thank all the fans who’ve supported me all this time, and I want to say something to Perfectman. Perfectman has had a lot of pressure lately. The every race rule of course creates this kind of burden, but he had to bear it all on his own. If he kept losing he’ll definitely be dejected. But as a progamer, everyone has slumps, so I hope he can walk out of it, and do well next season. Let us work hard together, and make everyone say “Hwaseung Protosses” are “the best Protosses!”
Hiya: SPL is nearing the end. We’ll win the last game too for a good end. I also need to play the two individual leagues. This time I have a goal for the individual leagues, I will fight for the championship. Also thanks to the fans who gave gifts for Jaedong’s 300 wins today, I’ll eat well [laugh]
