AIR FORCE ACE WINS 4:2!!

(T)firebathero-(T)XellOs: "We had a very big desire to win."

[image loading]

[Fomos Reporter Lee, Jung Han] Today's build was an Air Force 3-star Lieutenant-General build that excluded ground units. (T/N: If you got a better one for this, come talk to me.)

-How does it feel to lead your team to victory?
FBH: An opponent I didn't expect came up, so I was surprised, but I told myself to just stick to the fundamentals and played hard. The game went well because I calmly overcame a disadvantageous situation.
Xellos: The desire to win was big, but when I stepped into the booth my mind was emptied. So I just played comfortably, and I think I was able to win because of that. I feel really good about it.

-It's your first MVP in a while.
Xellos: It's been so long since I got the award. I had tremendous mental stress because I didn't get to play much. For the remainder of my time here, I will treat it as if these are the last days of my life and play my best.

-Who did you expect to come out?
FBH: I thought, "Of course (T)Ssak will come out." Seeing (T)Flash lose made me practice like crazy, but seeing him come out in the first set made me relieved and regretful at the same time. He's the one who won against GOD (Flash), so the burden on me was great.

-Your management with SK Terran was good.
FBH: I used a very special no-ground 3-star Air Force Lieutenant-General Commander build. (T/N: That's literally what it says. Silly, huh?) I thought about mixing in more ground units at the end, but I thought, "I need to end this with the power of Air Force," so I focused on making vessels. Moreover, take note of my marines. Marines, like me, are privates, but you need them, right? Near the end of the game, I built many CCs around the map, but it didn't get captured on screen, so I was a little disappointed.

-You tried to do an offensive CC, which you don't usually do.
Xellos: The flow of the match was going SK's way, so the morale of the team was very low. As Sergeant, you need to up the morale of the team, so I did the CC ceremony.

-You won decisively even though you had a build order disadvantage.
Xellos: I poked with my vulture and sensed that he was going 2-starports, so I adjusted immediately and got the positive effect out of it. I practice a lot with FBH, but I get very frustrated because he's too good on [the map] Fortress. Since FBH got me so many times, I was able to win with what I learned from practice. For example, FBH's very good at calculating tank range in the center of the map, so I got beat a lot. Today, I played like FBH in practice.

-Air Force Ace seems to be stronger now.
Xellos: ACE is developing a lot, so I am very happy. Ace is a team with a lot of potential, so please keep both eyes on us. Before, the team atmosphere was very rigid like the military, but now it's more sociable, letting us practice harder together and focus on the game.

-How does it feel to win with Xellos?
FBH: Ever since I started, I always said I admired him. I really liked the Perfect Terran's play. That's why I try to copy his play a lot.
Xellos: I like FBH a lot as well, so when I heard he's coming to the team I was very happy. I can't just show me losing in front of FBH, so I'm working harder now.

-You'll be discharged before the season's over. Are there any regrets?
Xellos: I have about 3 months left in my military service. During my time here, my results haven't been very good. I will work hard to make up everything I haven't done in my final three months

-Any final words?
FBH: I haven't shown good results in TvZ lately, but I showed that when I don't get damaged by muta-ling [early], I can play this good of a [late] game, so I am very happy. I will continue practice defending against muta-ling harass.
Xellos: My fan's haven't been coming a lot since I haven't made many appearances, but recently I saw a few who came. I would like to thank those fans because it's because of them I gained the strength to work harder.

(Z)ggaemo-(Z)Peace, "We're happy to have played fun games."

[image loading]

[Fomos Reporter Lee, Jung Han] Sergeant (Z)GoRush helped a lot

-How do you feel to have contributed to the team's win?
ggaemo: I'm happy that I won a very fun game. I'm also glad to have played a part in the team's win.
Peace: It was my first game in a long time, so I was shaking. I'm happy to win my first game as a member of Air Force Ace, and I will continue to strive to be a contributing member of the team.

-The game was chaotic.
ggaemo: (T)yeOngJae used a strategy I didn't think about, so I was take aback. However, I felt that he didn't prepare for my strategy as well, so I played without thinking I was behind. At first I got overlord speed, seeing 2-port wraith, so my mutalisk count was low. So the game went slightly bad for me. It was a little uncertain, but I told myself to play the game with full concentration to the end.

-In the end, you won the base trade.
ggaemo: Even I had fun in that game. I thought the one who had the higher concentration would win, so I did my best. I had no way to block the Terran army, so I was left with no choice but to take down vessels, but it went well.

-How do you feel to play for the first time in a while?
Peace: I practiced a lot, but since it was my first game in a while I didn't play perfect. All the practice helped a lot.

-(T)Iris got the opportunity before you.
Peace: I wanted to go out and win soon as well. That's why I'm practicing a lot.

-Coming out in a 3:2 lead situation must've lifted the pressure a bit.
Peace: Before Xellos won, so I played with the must-not-lose mindset.

-You also played a chaotic game. (T/N 난전 literally means a rough-and-tumble)
Peace: I decided I had the lead after blocking the zealot and shuttle harassments. I felt that I could do whatever I want and win, but I sustained a huge loss in the big battle due to control mistakes, which I believe led to the chaos. I am a little disappointed about that.

-Your ZvP was seen as weak before coming to ACE.
Peace: Normally, I enjoy ZvP, but the results in broadcast games didn't follow. My victory today had to do more with my opponent making mistakes than with me playing well.

-Having won against 1st-place SKT1, you now can potentially ride on the momentum.
ggaemo: Since we won against the best team, I feel we can end round 2 with a good score if we continue to play with this kind of spirit.

-The team looks stronger than ever.
ggaemo: If you look at our team now, we are strong because our racial balance is good and our abilities are outstanding.

-Any last comments?
ggaemo: Both mine and Peace's builds were recommended by Seargeant Gorush. I think we were able to win because of them. Thank you.
Peace: As I was preparing for my game today Seargeant Gorush came and taught me all the ins and outs of Benzene. Rock also gave me many pointers in practice. I won today because of them, so thank you both.

Please point out anything that could be done better so i can fix them. Thank you.

I think FBH might be the best abuser of Vessels in the scene. God, I'm gonna go and rewatch FBH vs Savior on Python now. ^__^

FBH a fan of showmanship? That's nice to know. He never forgot about the fans even when he can't do his crazy ceremonies.

so from the interview it seems air force is giving them more time to practice which would make more sense since they are winning more game, They also seemed to have a better race distribution i really hope they do better in the future and who knows maybe ace to the finals
