FREEEEEE

- Thoughts on advancing to the MSL for the 11th time?
▲ I have lots to say, so I'm glad I could get interviewed. I seem to get into the MSL a lot, and I hope to keep my luck up this time.

- Your play was pretty mediocre in the first game
▲ I definitely wasn't pleased with how the game went, but I'm happy that I won.

- Your match against Reality went to late game. Did your loss to him earlier affect you?
▲ Prelims are prelims, official matches are official matches. I get eliminated a lot in the OSL so I didn't let it get to me much. It's unfortunate that I couldn't win in dominating fashion, though.

- Were you planning on sneaking DTs in?
▲ I was planning on knocking out his sunkens in the first attack, since I figured he wouldn't rebuild them. And so, I went for DTs. Though I was thrown off by the fact that he got burrow, I settled down and took out his Spire.

- Apparently your wrist is hurt?
▲ It's just not in good shape, my wrist is OK. Although I've been trying to hide it from everyone, my face contorts sometimes in games and I guess everyone saw that. I'll try to recover as quickly as possible to prime condition.

- You've advanced to the MSL so many times - isn't it time to get a championship?
▲It was like this last season too. My goal this time is to get to the Finals - I hope to fulfill my claim today.

- It's vacation now
▲ If I lost today vacation would be quite depressing. I'm really glad I won.

- Final Remarks?
▲ The college entrance exams are today, so I wish everyone the best. Even if you do poorly, don't get to depressed. I heard that Stork mentioned me in an interview before, I think it was something about Protoss ranking. I'm sure he only put it that way because we're pretty close. However, my fans don't know that, so for their sake I hope he takes it down a notch. Lately I haven't been in good physical condition and many people have been worried. I'll repay them with good performances.

... HOGIL?!

- Thoughts on advancing to the MSL?
▲I'm really glad to advance.

- You won two ZvTs - did you practice for this specifically?
▲Not particularly it's just that in the past I used to get nervous in ZvTs, and now I'm a lot more relaxed.

- Do you have many regrets in your match vs Free?
▲I snuck a Zergling in and did a lot of damage with it. But I relaxed my guard and didn't notice that I let 3 DTs in, and I was behind after that.

- Your scouting was excellent in the final match
▲It's hard to tell what a Terran will do, particularly if you're playing a Rookie and you're unfamiliar with his style. So I had to use Overlords to scout. If I lost them without getting any crucial information that would be pretty bad, but luckily I got the information I needed. That Overlord went in with strong conviction, thankfully his Marines were just chilling.

- What were you thinking when you saw his Starport?
▲I thought it would be a drop, but when I looked more closely I saw vessels. I'm sure if I hadn't seen them the match would have been quite different.

- Though you've advanced to the MSL four times already, your performance has been less than stellar
▲I hope to do a lot better this time. In the past, I wasn't that used to the big stage yet, and I wasn't doing that well in practice either.

- Final remarks?
▲One of my friends is retaking the college exams, and I hope he makes it this time. I also want to thank the coaching staff for consistently cheering me on.

That's sunken, I believe, though I didn't watch the games yet. Thanks for translating.

I was hoping Free might do a little trash talking back at Stork just for fun.
Thanks for the translations.

Thats a very mature response to the Stork interview. Didn't know he could be this humble. Well done free, looking forward to seeing you in the MSL

Stork and Free have a history of joking around like that...
Stork beat Free while off-racing as zerg. He told Sea and Sea revealed it at the Lost Saga MSL selection ceremony:

[image loading] Part 1



(T)Sea: Well I’m close with Stork.
[image loading] Announcer: So what do you choose to do?
(T)Sea: Please move me next to Free in Group D.
[image loading] Announcer: Free is one of the 6 dragons~ why?
(T)Sea: Our team has lost many times to WoongJin in proleague… and the scenario is always that we lose to Free in the Ace match… so I always wondered why… also it seems that Free is neglected the most out of the 6 dragons.
[image loading] Announcer: So you’re saying that since Free is already a bit neglected with this victory you plan on stomping him out of the 6 dragons?
(T)Sea: I’ve lost to Free many times… but honestly last time (at some other event), I was seriously so close to beating Free 7-0, so I was wondering why I always lose to Free in the Proleague. So I want to verse him in the MSL since I feel like I’ll lose to him again if I play him in the Proleague~
(T)Sea: Was I too direct?
[image loading] Announcer: No, let’s hear Free’s side now. What do you think of Sea?
(P)free: Well, it wasn’t the matchup I had in mind while on the way here… well I’m close to Sea, and to see him provoking me like that… *sighs
[image loading] Announcer: Wow, it seems you’ve really hit a nerve. You’ve hit a dragon’s nerve.
(T)Sea: Free is not speaking a lot so now I feel really sorry… but it’s because (Sea choosing to provoke Free) even though I’m close with Free, my coaches hate him, because he wins so many of the Ace matches.
[image loading] Announcer: So you want to get revenge for your team and also win against him individually.
(T)Sea: I’m sorry Free hyung. (hyung is a Korean term for older brother – he actually used it everytime he referred to Free and Stork but I just didn’t put it)
(T)Sea: Stork neglects/doesn’t think highly of Free!
(P)Stork: When did I say that??
(T)Sea: Whenever I see him he says how he’s beat Free even using Zerg.
[image loading] Announcer: Stork do you think Free shouldn’t be part of the 6 dragons? Honestly?
(P)Stork: Well firstly… beating Free with zerg… that’s the truth. It’s not so much recently but I won against him a lot in the past, so since then I’ve always been teasing/neglectful of Free.
[image loading] Announcer: So you’re saying that this isn’t something that recently started, but you’ve been like that to him since the past. It’s not something new.
(P)Stork: Yes.
(P)free: I have something to say. Stork told me he was facing Sea and he added a little “k” (k is Korean letter that signifies laughter). He liked that he was facing Sea (implying Stork thinks Sea is easy)
(T)Sea: I came here while sleeping, and I actually had a dream that I was playing Stork. The map was rushhour, and protoss don’t really come out, but for some reason I thought he would come out. But yea, he did end up coming out.
(P)free: So in the past, I played zerg against Stork (who played zerg too) and helped Stork when he was going to play Rumble (zerg in SKT). And honestly, out of 5 games I won at least 1 game. (people laugh) It’s because he keeps talking about only his wins~
(P)Stork: The important part is I only lost one game, but I think I won at least 20 games.
[image loading] Announcer: Is this the truth Free? (Free shakes his head quietly)
(P)Stork: Truthfully I used my teammates ID’s knowing that Free wouldn’t be hurt since we’re tight, and I won many times. (to free) You know even now there are many wins I haven’t revealed.
[image loading] Announcer: So Stork, do you think it’s too much to say Free is a fellow dragon?
(P)Stork: Oh no, it’s not like that.
[image loading] Announcer: Hm, so you’re acknowledging him as a good player, but you’re also saying you’ve beaten him using zerg.
(P)free: He’s so cheap~ he doesn’t practice with me when I want to and to hear that he uses his teammates ID’s to play me… so cheap.
