MAGIKARPPPP

- Thoughts on making it into the OSL for the 2nd consecutive time?
▲ I've been doing poorly in the Proleague lately, and I wanted to break out of my slump today. Thankfully I was able to put up good results today, and I'm quite pleased.

- Your strategy in the first set 1 was good. Did you practice it a lot?
▲Recently, I've had a tendency to lose if I play too standard, so I put a lot of thought into early game planning, and it paid off. Two starports works really well.

- Your 2nd set was quite strategic.
▲Originally I just wanted to go for a double [T/N "雙開" ? Double expo?], but after thinking about it I decided to go for a 4-rax hanbang. As long as we're not in cross positions, I'm pretty confident. I somehow felt that there would be a hidden expo, but to me that was Soulkey's last resort - he put a lot into that, and I took advantage of it.

- You're slumping in the Proleague
▲I'm still trying to figure out why. For a while I was feeling pretty down and it seems to have carried on for a while. Right now I really want to get back into it so I've been continuously practicing.

- Yesterday Hwaseung went to film a commercial
▲My singing is slightly less than ideal so I didn't end up going, haha. Honestly though, it was largely because of today's matches. It's a pity I couldn't go, though. If there's another opportunity I definitely want to go.

- You regained some of your momentum today?
▲Today's matches were really strange; I didn't feel nervous at all. When players are in slumps they always get nervous, but I got my confidence back today. I'll work off of that and do even better. In the 2nd round, I'll help my team rise in the rankings.

-Final remarks?
▲I keep doing poorly and losing, and I feel bad for my fans, and I'm worried about what my coaches and parents might think. In the 2nd round, I'll do even better than I did last season. Thanks to the Zergs who practiced with me - SKT's soO in particular.

AFROTOSS I BELIEVEEEEEEE

- Thoughts on qualifying for the OSL Ro16 for the first time?
▲I'm really pumped up. I'm in totally new ground right now. I was definitely a lot more nervous than I was in the first ground - in fact, I still feel it now. In the 1st match against Great, I was so nervous that I had no idea what to do, but now that I've gotten used to it, it's a lot better.。

- You got an advantage early on in both games
▲These were recommended openings from the hyungs. In the first game I planned to use DTs to fight, but they got blocked. Thankfully I was pretty lucky and made a recovery. My opponent emphasized defense, and I felt I still probably had a chance and kept on fighting. In the 2nd game, Leta's opening felt like a wave - hard to stop, but as long as I held on, I would win. Before I broke the contain, I was ridiculously nervous.

- You have lots of nicknames right now, which is you favorite?
▲There certainly are a lot of them; Luffa-toss, Afro-toss, Broccoli-toss [T/N I'm pretty sure these are really loose translations, given that I'm doing KR -> CN -> EN], etc. they're all fan created, so I don't really have much of a preference, it's all good.

- Apparently you considered straightening your hair before?
▲When I was a kid, it was pretty bad. I'd go and get my hair cut really short - it was a real pain in middle school, in particular. Right now though, my hairstyle's become my trademark, haha. Although lots of people have wanted me to go straighten it, I kind of like it the way it is now ^_^

- SKT already has two strong Protoss
▲They've both been helping me ever since Wednesday. They've always been great to me. Sun helped me a lot for today's match as well. Though I've never started in the Proleague, I don't mind as long as our four Protoss do well overall.

- Who do you want to face in the OSL Ro16?
▲It doesn't matter who advances. I was a fan of Bisu-hyung when he was in MBC, and now that we're on the same team, I don't want to face him. I don't like team-kills. Other than that, I don't have any thoughts on Ro16 opponents yet.

- You're going to participate in the Group Selection, what do you plan to do?
▲I'm pretty low-key right now, though all of a sudden everyone's paying attention to me. It's going to be very nerve-wracking - I think playing well is more important than showing off during the Group Selections.

- Final remarks?
▲Right now we're on break from Proleague, but after the match against Hwaseung, S2-hyung kept on helping me practice. Yesterday Ssak-hyung also helped me out a lot. My team has taken very good care of me, and I want to thank everyone. Also, I wish S2-hyung and soO-hyung the best for their MST matches tomorrow.

Q: Thoughts on entering the OSL Ro16?
A: I really wanted to make the Ro16 roday, so this time I practiced a ridiculous amount. That allowed me to succeed, which was pretty miraculous.

Q: Why did you want to make Ro16 so badly?
A: I've been playing pretty horribly recently, and in SPL I'm not doing well. I'm getting older and I'm the team captain, but I need to be a better gamer as well. Slumping made me very dejected, so I wanted to start performing better.

Q: Your facial expression was bad after your loss in the first game.
A: I didn't originally prepare for that type of opening. I played impromptu, so I was constantly berating myself, asking "Why did you play this way?" But then I thought, in the upcoming games I would definitely use the strategies I had the best grasp of. So I pulled myself together that way.

Q: You played excellently in the 2nd and 3rd games.
A: The 2nd game was good overall. In the 3rd game, my zergling runby did less damage than I anticipated, but what mattered is that I held the advantage throughout the game.

Q: In game 3, your mutalisks were not very effective.
A: I only had 5 mutalisks left, but I a-moved them to snipe off a high templar. I felt that it bought me time, so it wasn't a big deal.

Q: Recently, your team has been working hard at the individual leagues.
A: Yep. It's provided us a lot of benefit. Every player has his designated time to play, so everyone is doing well in the individual leagues. It's helped us find confidence, so our SPL performance is getting boosted too.

Q: Last season, you left behind a lot of regrets in the OSL.
A: I put too much energy into random things, so I was unable to concentrate on the games. I felt really apologetic to the coaches, and I hoped to begin anew next time. I feel like there's nothing that tops the importance of focusing on my matches now, but that still hasn't solved the issue in front of me.

Q: This season's goal?
A: I don't really have a goal to speak of. I'm redoubling my efforts in practice, so I'm confident I'll see results.

Q: Anything else?
A: Sun, Best, and Bisu have been helping me practice for a long time. They helped me analyze the enemy's style, so I want to thank them for that. It seems that people have been worried about me, but now I've advanced, so I'm now very happy and there's no need to worry. Despite being captain I haven't been getting good results, so I felt ashamed. It's good that I advanced today, and from now on I'll show everyone a new Captain Hyuk.

Thanks for the really fast translation.

Hiya's confidence coming back? It would be nice to see Oz doing something other than scraping the bottom of the barrel again.

Afrotoss' interview posted! It's great to see that SKT is treating him well. It would be so pimp if SKT could field all 4-Ps in one match, haha.

Glad to hear SKT is taking care of him and everyone is helping him out.

He didn't seem nervous, his play was cool as ice. Really impressed me that game.

I really like Afrotoss, I hope he does really well.

and please no team kills, I hate team kills...

After checking again it seems more like "Luffa-toss" than Cucumber, which makes sense given his hairstyle. My bad :p

He won't, probably read/watched One Piece. No wonder he made the right decision.

What perspective - and strength.

Aw, the SKT Tosses are one happy family. We know from past interviews that the SKT Zergs are also one happy family. Then there's Oov/Fantasy/Canata/Ssak. Probably depressed.

This guy knows what's up. All those show-offs at the group selections who proceed to fail spectacularly.

Thanks for the translations.

The Luffa-toss nickname in original Korean is "Scrubber-toss". (The thing you scrub your sink with? idk the precise word in English, sorry. 수세미토스?) Afro-toss and Broccoli-toss is the same.
