Woongjin triumphs!

free, Zero

[image loading]


Q: You two contributed to the team's win.
>free: I played according to plan today, and it ended up well. I feel like I can trust myself better now.
>Zero: In game 2, I lost without putting up a fight, so I had to redeem myself in the Ace match. I'm glad to have succeeded.

Q: free, your opponent went for a quick expansion. [T/N might actually be quick double expand, not sure]
>free: I thought my opponent was going to cheese, so I played defensively, but that ended up putting me into a bad position. But it's a good thing I scouted it. I knew that in a big macro battle, I would come out on top.

Q: free, your opponent's reavers were very sharp.
>free: In practice, I commonly encountered this situation, and if I scouted well I could defend it too. Even though the attack was earlier than usual, I felt that it wasn't very different from practice. I got HTs quickly, so when I blocked the attack, I knew in that instant that I had won.

Q: Zero, in your game with Hiya, you lost without much of a struggle.
>Zero: My methods were exactly what the opponent was hoping to see, so I was mad too. I couldn't play the way I wanted to, so my loss was very pitiful.

Q: Zero, since you carried a loss onto the stage for the Ace match, did you feel pressure?
>Zero: I modified my mindset, so I ignored the successes of all my opponents except Jaedong. [T/N this is worded funny] I have previously won an Ace match despite a loss earlier in the day. Back then, I felt pressured, but not anymore. I didn't ponder anything, so I was able to concentrate.

Q: Zero, you won as soon as your situation became positive.
>Zero: The win was incredibly tough. If my analysis or control had been a bit better, I could have relaxed more, so it's sad that I couldn't have played better. Because I evaluated my position to be OK during the game, I was in danger.

Q: Zero, it seems that peoples' evaluation of you is changing a lot.
>Zero: Soulkey's words are a little false (haha). In the practice house, we live together like friends, but I am raising a tiger cub. I'm starting to regret that. [T/N ]343[ suggested this probably refers to Soulkey, who will bite him back as he grows.]

Q: free, it seems that you had something to say to Zero before the interview.
>free: It seems everyone already knows about Zero and the ladies. On the way here, he was continually watching women and rating them. (haha) He spoke of the better-looking ones as if they were celebrities (haha). For those who want to get to know Zero better, please contact him privately.

Q: free, everybody is making conjectures about the secret you spoke of in your last interview.
>free: I was humiliated by a certain player one time, and I was very angry about it. I'm preparing for our next meeting in SPL or the individual leagues, in which I will take revenge. If I had said this in an earlier interview, everybody would know who it was. So I guess people misunderstood.

Q: Your team's strategic strength has boosted since Really and Flying arrived.
>Zero: Really's expression is always really warm. A person so handsome like Really arriving in our team seems to have made our team's mood more cheerful.
>free: Flying is working hard at practice; he definitely has a pro's energy, so he is very eager. There aren't any others who are willing to act up in front of me except flying [T/N unsure, I think it's slang.] (haha) If he improves his attitude a bit, I'll be nicer to him too.

Q: Anything else?
>free: I was very worried before the ace match, since if we lost there's no telling how harsh it would have been, so I hoped that Zero wouldn't lose. I've had the experience of losing twice in a day before, so I understood his mindset. I hope in the future we won't let down the team in the Ace matches. We'll work hard to become a very strong team.
>Zero: It'll soon be time for college entrance exams. I have a friend who will be participating. He has been preparing for a long time and enduring the difficulty. I hope he succeeds, and that everyone participating earns the result they deserve.

Soulkey, really

[image loading]


Q: Happily, you two both won.
>Soulkey: Compared to my win, the win of my mentor Zero who I worship made me much happier (haha).
>Really: I'm glad that I won and that our team is on a winning streak. I will work hard to maintain this atmosphere.

Q: Soulkey, your opponent was a rookie.
>Soulkey: I felt like that would make it an easy victory. I not only played well, I had good luck.

Q: Soulkey, your scouting with zerglings went well.
>Soulkey: I don't know why, but I smelled a zerg rush. I took the appropriate countermeasures. I ran a zergling into the enemy's territory, and it seems that was very useful.

Q: Soulkey, you have 9 wins this season.
>Soulkey: I wanted to play more games, since last season I didn't play many at all. To win this many times this season makes me very glad.

Q: Really, you used nukes.
>Really: The first one was to put on a show, and the second was to win. I knew for sure I was going to win, and I wanted to inspire my teammates who were playing later. It seems Zero [T/N unsure] got the message.

Q: Really, have you fully adjusted to the team?
>Really: I'm confident I have. There aren't any issues, so I can focus on playing BW, and my record is improving.

Q: Really, does the team have a lot of expectations for you?
>Really: Yes, and I can feel the pressure. However, playing with this pressure is detrimental, so I'm working hard to not carry it into games.

Q: Really, unlike you, flying seems to be in a slump.
>Really: Flying is an very good player, so I'm sure he will soon start performing well.

Q: Do you want to catch up to #1 SKT? [T/N SKT YEAAAAAAA]
>Soulkey: In R2, we will continue our dominance, and in R3 we will pull ahead. At that point, our team will be able to display our full power, and it will help us in SWL.
>Really: I'm confident we can catch them. Even though we lost our last match, we will win the next encounter. I think our team's lineup is better.

Q: In your interview, it seems that your view of Zero has changed.
>Soulkey: Before, I said there wasn't much to learn from him, but I was joking (haha). Usually, he helps me as if he himself were practicing. I respect Zero very much.
>Really: The mood is totally different from eSTRO. Especially Zero. He is very different from his appearance, he's actually even kinder (haha). I was going to say something newsworthy, but if I said it, I would die a horrible death. So I guess I'll keep quiet (haha).

Q: Anything else?
>Soulkey: Zero's the best. (haha)

LOL at this interview. Makes me wonder what's ZerO is doing. It sounds like some pretty scandalous behavior and he might have blackmail on Really and SK or something to keep them quiet hahaha. Or they could just be being nice lulz.

haha I love Woongjin interviews. Although this comes at the expense of Oz's victory, this is a very nice consolation prize.

Thanks for translating!

I was hoping they'd ask a bit more about the ace match, especially regarding JD's proxy sunken

It might be about his game with light in how free bm'd once he thought he had won, but went on to lose.
