(T/N: "Successor" in this interview means the younger members of ACE, aka the players/soldiers that are below Yellow in rank.)
- You won your final game before being discharged from ACE.
▲ I am extremely happy, even more so because it's my first win in such a long time. And I feel like my happiness is doubled because my team won as well.
- Your win was related to the number 2 again.
▲ I can't help it (laughs). Even though I think that it's ridiculous, when I see the number 2 fulfill itself, I secretly hope that there will be more connections with me and the number in the future.
- You were in a tough spot with
Midas's 8 rax strategy.▲ I didn't think Midas would 8 rax, because I practice with him often so I thought he wouldn't do it on me, but when he 8 rax'ed followed by a bunker rush, it surprised me. But I played as hard as I could, thinking about how much it would suck if I lost my last game.
- How was your life in the Air Force?
▲ When I first entered ACE, I didn't have such a heavy heart, nor did I feel such responsibility. I originally just wanted to play more games, but after living in an organized fashion for so long, I realized how important and significant of a place ACE is. While we didn't always have the best scores, all the players wanted victory more than anyone else, and practiced incredibly hard. The personnel at ACE helped me greatly, so I practiced more, thinking that with a few more wins, we could become a team to be reckoned with. I tried my best not only for myself, but for the team, and it disappoints me because the results leave a lot to be desired. But I feel like the mood in the team has improved a lot, so I'm satisfied in that regard.
- Looking back on your time at ACE...
▲ I'm proud of my time here. It was a precious time where I learned a great deal. Of course, if you make me enter the military again, I'd politely refuse (laughs). Because it was the military, after all, there were difficult times, but there is no doubt that the time spent in ACE had an impact on me.
- Your games were always hyped and noticed more than others.
▲ Because I had lost so much before I entered ACE, I first had the mindset that I could play much more relaxedly in ACE. However, once I enlisted, the desire for victory was even greater here. So I played every game like it was a final in a tournament. I think I was noticed more because I beat a lot of S-class players. Also, I probably was noticed more because I won when there wasn't a lot else going on in the scene. I think it was the biggest issue when I best
Bisu. I think it sticks in people's memory more because it was my first win, and I came back from a sticky situation. Even I get touched when I watch that game again (laughs).- Are you going to keep your style even after being discharged?
▲ Before I enlisted, I wrote a lot of things on my notepad. It was to give my style a little change, because I had played in the same manner for 10 years. Of course, I didn't want to abandon my style, merely adapt a bit more to the current trends. But it wasn't as easy as I thought (laughs). I think it would be difficult to change my style, even after being discharged
- Any words to your successors?
▲ I laughed a lot during my last days at ACE because my successors were treating me so well. So I thank them for that.
GoRush became captain recently, and I feel like his stubbornness helped him a lot. XellOs doesn't show it on the outside, but he's the best supporter on the inside of the team. I thank him a lot for the effort that he puts in for the good of the team, putting aside his own benefits. I think RuBy would be golden if he just performs as well as he is doing now, and I don't worry about Much because he is old enough to take care of himself. The successors below them have less experience, so I hope that they will try their best to adapt to the new environment. Regular Air Force soldiers look at us a lot as a source of inspiration - I hope all the players won't forget that.- Your rival,
BoxeR, moved to SC2▲ It's a shame. It leaves a big void in my heart. Not only Boxer, but a lot of the older gamers have disappeared. I feel lonely with all these oldgamers going away. I support Boxer's decision, but I can't help but be disappointed. (T/N: No hinting lost in translation here - it sounded pretty clear that he had no intention of moving to SC2)
- Final words?
▲ I thank the fans, who have kept with me for two years despite poor results. Also, I want to send a big thanks to the Director of the unit of Air Force ACE. Finally, "Air Force ACE Fighting!"
