Shuttle!
Q: You came back to earn a win for your team.
A: At first I thought some other player was going to be my opponent, then Sun came up, causing me surprise. Since had come back against me last time, this time it was my chance for revenge. Last time I thought the game was pretty much won [for me] but I ended up losing, and that shocked me, but I have confidence, so I thought I would win the game today as long as I wasn't put in too difficult of a situation. However, this win was not as easy as I expected.
Q: You faced the risk of losing.
A: During the first battle I knew there would be lots of storms [T/N: Psionic storms is cool but the way it's written in Chinese makes it sound like "there shall be THUNDAARRRR!" Either way it sounds cool.], but I made too many Archons, so I didn't have enough storms. Therefore, I had to be very passive [and lost the engagement]. At that time, I really thought I had lost.
Q: When you win, the team seems to win. When you lose, the team seems to lose.
A: Initially, it did not seem like that, but after nine matches it did start to seem kind of weird. I think that in the future the team can achieve many more victories, and if I can continue getting a lot of wins as well, that would be really good.
Q: In the Second Round Central Plains is gone, replaced by Bloody Ridge.
A: It seems the fans wanted to see more diverse matchups, so a different map was chosen to be more interesting. It seems like Central Plains was always a late-game map, and only Protoss was ever sent. I think it was a good idea to remove Central Plains.
Q: STX's next opponent is Samsung. How do you think that will go?
A: During the first round we did not have very satisfactory results. I only had a two-game winning streak, so this round I'd like to take a three-, maybe four-game winning streak and elevate my game to a new level. [T/N: He didn't answer this question at all?]
Q: Any last words?
A: Calm-hyung looks very depressed recently, so I hope today's victory will give him some momentum. Calm-hyung is [an] Ace, so like Kal he will quickly rebound.

Kal!
Q: You simultaneously ended both Bisu's and SKT's SPL winning streaks.
A: Last time I lost to Bisu in an Ace match, so before today's match I was still a bit nervous, even chilled to the bone. I really wanted to win, and so it was that I ended up winning. I am so happy.
Q: During the fourth set you lost to Bisu, but you won during the Ace match. What caused the difference?
A: During the first match Bisu's tactics were very good. I had trouble containing him, and being thwarted in my efforts [to contain him] was a major cause [of defeat]. During the second set we both had lots of opportunities, but my luck was better, so I ended up winning.
Q: When Bisu came up in the fourth set, how were you feeling?
A: Bisu-hyung was very well-prepared, and seeing him as my opponent for the fourth set made me very happy, since this was a good opportunity to test my strength. However, both in terms of containment and operations I lost pretty badly. In the Ace match, I met him again and was very happy to take revenge.
Q: Bisu was on a monstrous winning streak. You must have been under a lot of pressure.
A: I was not very concerned about this, but he is very good, so I was envious. As another Protoss, I wanted to stop him. Today, I really wanted to send one loss to him as a gift, but in the end we both took a win and a loss. I guess I kind of attained my goal.
Q: Central Plains has been replaced by Bloody Ridge in Round 2.
A: Now we can play more aggressive, exciting games.
Q: SouL's next opponent is Samsung.
A: The teammates are very positive. Our results during the first round were not very good, but we all practiced very hard. We will try to attain a winning streak.
Q: Any last words for us?
A: I'm really happy for today's win. Recently we haven't seen Calm-hyung laugh, and today we finally got to see that. It's so cute! [T/N: Fuck yeah cuteness.] I'd like to thank all the fans for cheering for us.
Calm and Bogus dual interview done by the lovable Cheep, who for some reason wants to consume me.

Calm and Bogus!
Thoughts on 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 reach 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.
