KIM TAEK YONGGGGGGGG

[image loading]

- Thoughts on qualifying for the MSL?
▲ Before the match I had a feeling it would be a tough battle. My opponent in Set 1, Orion, hasn't played much in the Proleague and must have had more time to prepare than I did, but my strategy countered his. I felt very lucky. [T/N Corsairs massacre Zerg air? Say it ain't so, Beesuit!]

- This is your 12th straight time in the MSL
▲I knew I'd been qualifying for a while, but I didn't know it was my 12th time. Thinking back, it's been a long time since I've played qualifiers, I've always stayed in the MSL. That said, my inability to do well has left me frustrated. Lately I've been on a hot streak, and I have to go far this time.

- What was the key to winning Game 1?
▲ Countering his Mutas was key. I kept on making Corsairs, and luckily for me, he kept on making Mutalisks. Once I defended the first wave of Muta+Scourge and countered him, I had the advantage.
.
- You're on an 8-game PvZ win streak
▲ I'm just playing like I do in practice, things are just going well. It feels like my opponents are intentionally losing to me, haha [T/N MATCH FIXING?!]. I'm really surprised that I'm on such a streak - someday I'll lose. Still, I want to push this as far as I can and rack up long winning streaks.

- Circuit Breaker is said to be a difficult for Protoss?
▲ The starting positions are a bit far away, and it's easy to get vulture harassed. I was in a bit of trouble in the middle, but because I had a good economy, I mustered up a strong force. After taking out my opponent's first tank I felt I had a big advantage and could win.

- Once you macroed up you went immediately for a push break
▲ During practice my troops clump together often and I have a hard time breaking tank lines. This time, my Zealots and shuttles were able to successfully close in on the tanks, and so I broke them.

- You finished Round 1 in the Proleague with a perfect record, and also qualified for the MSL - nicely done! Your goals for this season?
▲When I was in a slump I had no idea how or why I was losing, but recently matches have all been going smoothly. My goal for this season is to win an individual championship - it's been more than two years since my last one.

- Are you confident?
▲ It all depends on my own effort. If I keep on working hard, I feel that nothing's impossible.
.
- Final remarks?
▲ I'd like to thank all my practice partners. Paralyze and Hyuk both have OSL matches tomorrow, I hope they can advance, and we can all participate in the Selection Ceremony together.

REALLY

[image loading]

- Thoughts on advancing to the MSL two times in a row?
▲ Has it been two straight? I had no idea, haha. It feels like my first time.

-You defeated Hyun twice, has your TvZ improved a lot?
▲ Because my practice partners were Woongjin's Zergs, I definitely improved a lot. I performed poorly in the past because I wasn't mentally in the zone yet. Now that I've got it all together, I'll do better and better.

- Your match against Bisu was unfortunate
▲ Yeah, although it's over now, I still have regrets. I had bad control and got my first tank sniped, and after finishing my 3rd, I even screwed up my rally. I played poorly. I hope to be put into Bisu's group again and challenge him once more. I lost in the Proleague to him too, so if I meet him again I have to win.

- You had been doing well in TvP
▲ I had a lot of confidence before the match, but it collapsed all of a sudden, haha. I'm working very hard right now, and I'm confident I can do better.
.
- There are already 3 Woongjin players in the MSL now
▲ The individual leagues really come down to your fundamentals - they all have strong fundamentals, so it's natural that they advanced, haha.

- Do you wish to do well in the individual leagues a lot?
▲ This is my first time in the individual leagues after changing teams, so I hope to put up strong performances. I don't have any concrete goals yet though.

- Final remarks?
▲ I want to apologize to Hyun-hyung for beating him twice in advancing. In MBC, Hyun's called the "Mother Zerg", but my practice partner was the "son of the Queen", so I had to win, haha. I'm really sorry. Thanks to Piano and Zero for supporting me in between the matches.

Really, as a Woongjin fan, please improve your TvZ before MSL starts.
And stop channeling Fantasy in you bio control.

Yeah Kim Taek Yong! I hope you win both leagues (one can dream)
Hoping Really's TvZ gets better since he has Soulkey and Zero to practice with. I almost forgot he had come from another team.
Thanks for the interviews.

Afrotoss playing tomorrow night, better tune in.

Thanks for the quick translations!

Is "son of a queen" a reference to Zero?

Don't say that till he takes a game off of jaedong or flash!

I'm really happy for Bisu, and I like how his goal is to win an individual title, if he does this I will be amazed and we really will have another protoss era in broodwar!

none of the above have yet taken a game from each other, so we still have to know )

But... the Total Starcraft is here. No more notion of a "build order". Just an adaptation, calculation and mind games - everywhere, every second. This season has to be a brilliant one. I'm really looking forward to seeing its final and deciding parts. )) All is there - current aces, one of them badly longing for the revenge on the other, the third one, returned from a slump when his fans almost lost hope, new promising players (Neo Generation )) ) and many many fields for them to prove themselves... or to fall on...
