Your thoughts on victory?
▲ Bisu I am very happy to get off to a good start. STX prepares extremely thoroughly. In tomorrow's matches, we cannot lower our guard. We have to advance 2-0.
▲ Canata Our luck was better than STX's today. I hope we get good luck tomorrow as well.
▲ Fantasy If I lost my game today, we would have needed to prepare for a 3rd set. I am very happy to have won and hope that we will advance 2-0.
▲ Best The opponent had more practice partners than we did. It really made me worried. I am very excited to have won today. I hope we win tomorrow as well and get all those teams that helped STX to help us instead.
You lost your first game but then went on to win the ACE game.
▲ Fantasy I was very angry at myself after losing that first game. I really wanted to rewind time and forget that it ever happened. I felt guilty and didn't dare make eye contact with my teammates. Since it was already decided beforehand that I would play the ace, I just waited for the ace. I am very thankful that Best won in game 6.
The team fell behind by a game and you came into tie it each time all the way up to the ace. Did you feel a lot of pressure during your games?
▲ Canata Because Fantasy is very strong, I felt confident that he would win. I got worried once I saw that he had lost in game one. But my opponent was Modesty and he was worried just like me, and that is what allowed me to tie up the set.
▲ Bisu The truth is I was really nervous. If I lost, the team would fall behind 1-3, so I put forth my greatest effort into the game. When we fall behind I feel like I can concentrate even better.
▲ Best If I lost the game, the team would have lost the set. The pressure was huge. Strangely I didn't feel much pressure during the game. After the game started, I actually grew more and more relaxed.
What were your reactions on seeing the strategies used by the STX players.
▲ Bisu They are really strong and it really motivates us. The stronger the opponent, the more our confidence grows after a victory. My victory over Kal basically counted as two wins because he is STX's powerhouse. Beating him raises our morale and breaks down the opposing team's.

Coach said you were send out to snipe CuteAngel. (Chinese really mangled the name)
▲ Best Before the games today, I said to coach, I would definitely win if I was matched up against CuteAngel. I was very excited that my opponent was the one that I had specially prepared for. But he played extremely well and it surprised me.
How about the ace?
▲ Fantasy I practiced for game 1 much more than I did for the ace, but my opponent turned out to a Terran which I hadn't excepted at all. It sent me into shock. During the game, you could see that my opponent was far better prepared than I was. During the ace match, I was confident in my build, so I wasn't nervous all. When the opponent attacked with his group of hydras, I feel a bit of danger, but as long as I fended it off, I was sure of my victory.
Coach said that because STX had so many teams helping them practice, you guys were even more motivated.
▲ Bisu I didn't think too much of it. We have some of the strongest players in the league in each of the three races on our team. So I am confident that we will win just by practicing amongst ourselves.
▲ Best I was a bit saddened.(laughs) When I was practicing on the net, I wanted to ask a few of them, but it turned out they had already agreed to help STX. If we advance to Gwangahnli, I hope everyone will come help us practice as well.
▲ Fantasy My thoughts are similar to Bisu's. Having a lot of practice partners won't suddenly raise your playing strength all that much. During the last MSL session, I saw a bunch of Samsung players entering the STX dorm. At first I thought they had gone to visit just for fun. It wasn't until later that I found out they were practicing with STX (laughs).
Any last words
▲ Bisu We are not relaxing our vigilance. We will definitely beat the opponent tomorrow and advance to Gwangahnli.
▲ Canata I don't have as many playing opportunities as these other players, but as long as I am sent out to play, I will work hard to come away with a victory. I will accomplish my duty as the captain of the team.
▲ Fantasy We will eliminate the opponent tomorrow, 2-0, as soon as possible.
▲ Best Before I became a professional player, the first match I ever watched was a finals match between SKT1 and KT. I really want to participate in an SKT1-KT finals match as a player and I hope I will give an ever more perfect performance at Gwangahnli.
Note: Arg, no centering for text!!! Canata didn't get a chance to be so sad this time.
