[Interview] SK Telecom T1 vs STX SouL Winners

DAMN IT KAL! I HATE YOU! :\

Shuttle!

You made a comeback victory to get a point for the team.
-I expected some other player, but then Sun came, so I was surprised. And in R1, he made a comeback victory against me, so this was my chance for revenge. I was confident. Last game, I was in a surefire win position, but managed to lose it, and I was upset. For today’s game, I thought that I shouldn’t lose without any major difficulties, but I didn’t win as easily as I thought.

You were constantly on the verge of losing.
-During the first engagement I knew I needed Storm, but I made a lot of Archons and didn’t have HT left, so I was pressured. I really thought I’d lose.

When Shuttle wins the team wins, and when Shuttle loses the team loses.
-I didn’t realize it at first, but after 9 times this happened, it seems kinda magical. I think the team will be able to win more from now on, so I guess I can win more. That’d be nice.

Central Plains was replaced with Bloody Ridge in R2.
-From the spectators’ perspective, they’d want to see different races, so I guess maps like that would be more interesting. Central Plains is a late-game map, and it’s basically all Protosses, so I think removing Central Plains is a good thing.

The next opponent is Samsung, what do you think?
-My R1 record wasn’t satisfactory; I only got a 2 win streak. Now I want 3 or even 4 wins in a row, and will strive to higher standards.

Last words?
-Calm seems depressed lately, today’s victory will change his attitude. Calm’s the team’s ace, so like Kal, he will become better very quickly.

Kal!

You simultaneously ended Bisu and SKT’s SPL win streak.
-I lost to Bisu before the ace match, so I was nervous before the game, and I was chilled to the bone. I really wanted to win, and I ended up winning, so I’m very happy.

You lost to him in game 4 but won in ace, what was the difference?
-In the first game Bisu chose a good strategy, and from my position it was hard to pressure Bisu, so I was impeded when trying to harass and pressure him. In the second game we both had equal chances, and I was lucky so I won.

What did you think when Bisu was sent out for game 4?
-Bisu prepared well. When I saw Bisu for game 4 I was glad because it was a chance to test my abilities, but I lost badly in both micro and harassment. I was glad to get revenge in the ace match.

Bisu was in a winning streak, did you feel pressured?
-I didn’t really mind that, but he’s really good, and I was jealous. As a Protoss, I wanted to stop him, and I wanted to give him a loss as a gift today. The end result was 1-1, so I guess it was sort of realized.

There’s no Central Plains in R2 anymore, it was replaced with Bloody Ridge.
-It’s a chance to play more aggressive, exciting games.

The next opponent is Samsung.
-All my teammates are working hard. Our result in R1 wasn’t great, so everyone’s working hard. We’ll try to get a winning streak.

Last words?
-I’m really glad to win today. It’s so rare to see Calm-hyung smile lately, but we can finally see it today. It’s so cute. I want to thank all the fans who’ve been cheering us on.

Calm and Bogus!

Thought son winning?
Calm: To be honest, because SKT has been performing well in SPL and hasn’t lost, we really wanted to stop them. To be able to beat a first class team makes me glad. It’s double the joy.
Bogus: I’m very glad to beat a good team today. And I’m extra happy that I was able to contribute.

You beat Best, thoughts on the game?
Calm: Best played according to his specialty, and I couldn’t fall behind on that, so I played very relaxed. The drops weren’t meant to win, but just to harass and pressure Best. Against a macro player, I couldn’t afford to give away units.

Your wincount has been going up.
Bogus: I’ve won many games recently, but I didn’t feel like it’s cause of my ability, and I wasn’t very confident. I will work harder and win with my abilities.

Last season a lot of people accused you of excessive turtling, and now you’re more aggressive.
Bogus: I’ve always been aggressive. I guess it’s cause I’m used to televised games this year, and my in-game decision making is usually better than last season.

You’ve contributed a lot, and you’re not the Terran ace of the team.
Bogus: I’m glad to have a good showing. There are still many games left, I need to focus and perform even better.

STX’s Zergs have been slumping.
Calm: We’ve been doing deep introspection right now, it’ll be fine soon.

The Protosses have been very active, is that affecting you?
Calm: It’s still the early stages of the league, so even though the other races performing well is threatening, the Zergs are also working hard to improve. We’re all looking to be better.

You opened R2 with two wins, thoughts?
Calm: In R1 we didn’t realize our goal, and the situation wasn’t great, but R2 we’re opening well. Our R2 goal is to win every game.
Bogus: The team is in a 2-win streak, but we haven’t displayed all of our strategies yet. We still have even better performances.
