Haven't seen this up yet, and my inner Entusman compels me to translate it.

Winners: Airforce ACE

[image loading]

(P)M18M: "Very happy to win on my last day as a private."

- Thoughts on winning?
▲ I will be private first class tomorrow, so I'm very happy to have won on my last day as a private. It's an unforgettable Christmas today.

- Your win lead your team into a 3 match winning streak.
▲ I also found it strange that I always get to end the match lately, be it winning or losing, the last game was always on me. Every time a game finishes the crowd always cheered very loudly, and it gave me the strength to play. (laugh)

- Your expression changed alot once you gained the upper hand.
▲ It was somewhat ceremonial, last time when I played Oz I was the same way, but when I saw the VOD I thought it didn't look that good. It's so weird that I could smile that much.

- You blocked the initial zergling rush perfectly.
▲ Usually you need to have 3 zealots to block the entrance, but if I was careless the lings could run by. Fortunately I scouted my opponent massing zerglings before zergling speed was done.

- Do you prepare for PvZ much?
▲ I suspected my opponent would either be protoss or zerg, however the likelihood of zerg was much higher so I concentrated on preparing PvZ.

- Next opponent is Samsung.
▲ I want to win against (Z)great hyung and then do a ceremony, he always make fun of others (laugh). Next game I must beat him.

- How was the atmosphere amongst the ACE protoss player lately?
▲ It's not that ACE protosses were playing badly, but the other races were playing too well. My 5 game losing streak made ACE protoss looked particularly bad. I personally think protoss is the weaker race (laugh), I hope the savior for protoss would appear soon, I will remain faithful to protoss.

- Anything else you want to say?
▲ Today is Christmas and it only happens once a year, I hope all the couples out there will enjoy themselves, and all you single people should enjoy yourselves even more. Yesterday was (Z)Gorush's birthday, I wish him happy birthday.

[image loading]

(T)firebathero: "I want to play against (P)Stork."

- Thoughts on winning?
▲ During practice, (P)Much said this is a terran map and I must not lose, and it gave me alot of confidence.

- (P)Kal's push caused alot of damage.
▲ At that time the game should have been even but I slipped into abit of a disadvantage, however I won an engagement at 9oclock so I thought it didn't matter.

- You haven't played (P)Kal for awhile, how did it feel?
▲ Kal's playstyle is very good, and it was very difficult to play against as a terran. But he played fairly ordinary today, and my TvP has already improved alot.

- Your TvP does seem to have improved alot.
▲ During the game I felt like I was possessed by (T)Flash (laugh). in TvP the timing for sieging tanks is very important, and it felt very right today, which has been the case as of late.

- ACE's terran records right now is outstanding.
▲ I'm very proud, I sit next to (T)XellOs and (T)RuBy during practice and they have been rubbing off on me.

- You made a manner cc on your opponent.
▲ Manner cc is a must, but as a ceremony it was not quite enough, manner cc needs to have at least 5 SCVs doing it, I only did one today (laugh).

- Next opponent is Samsung.
▲ I wanna play against (P)Stork, playing him is really interesting, and not many terrans can take games off him. I want to break this record.

- Anything else to say?
▲ Lately time has been flying, and I hope military life will end soon as well. I hope everyone out there won't catch a cold, and happy Christmas.

[image loading]

(T)RuBy: "Glad to have won."

- Thoughts on helping the team on getting a 3 match winning streak?
▲ I'm abit scared (laugh), things has never been this smooth. But winning will always make people happy.

- The pizza handed out to the fans after the first game didn't even get cold by the time the second game finished.
▲ I expected a zerg opponent so I was preparing to play against it, but my opponent seem to have prepared specifically for me. I thought my opponent would be (Z)Calm, but due to the fact that I have previously prepared strategies in case of a TvT, I managed to win.

- How did you come up with your strategy?
▲ I usually play standard, but cheesing every now and then can be effective. I usually do this when I want to finish the game quickly.

- You said previously that having good results scares you.
▲ It was way too smooth, progaming has wins and losses, it would hit us alot harder if we lose games after winning alot.

- Usually when people think ACE they think of you, but lately (Z)ggaemo has been playing very well.
▲ I don't mind, I don't think I'm below him in terms of ability. The better he plays, the happier it makes me as a teammate.

- The ACE terrans won 3 games today.
▲ Ever since (T)firebathero and (T)Iris came to the team the atmosphere improved alot, me and (T)XellOs used to be like frogs on the bottom of the well, but since they arrived we learned alot of new concepts.

- One more match to play for Round 2.
▲ Recently all 3 races in our team improved alot. Although Samsung's protosses are very strong, but we do not fear them. Although I haven't won against a protoss yet, I have confidence in winning a TvP.

- Any thing else to say?
▲ Christmas is here and so is the cold weather, I hope nobody catches a cold.



[image loading]
Xellos disciplining some poor newbie.

(T)XellOs: "Although my service will end soon, I will not be relaxed."

- Thoughts on a personal 2 win streak?
▲ Extremely happy.

- You played on Fortress last time as well.
▲ I felt like it would be either against zerg or protoss, and if it was protoss it would likely be (P)Shuttle. The strategy I used today was recommended by (P)M18M and (T)firebathero.

- What made you choose 2 fact?
▲ It is an effective way to pressure opponents that 1gate expands, and most protosses play that way recently, so I thought this move would work.

- Your service will soon end, how many wins are you hoping to get?
▲ My service ends on 9th of April, but since there will be a break in March, I only have around 3 months left. Although I wanted to get 10 wins, for now 5 wins is more realistic.

- You could get 10 wins if you played well in winner's league.
▲ I do really want to play well in WL, but all killing is hard.

- Lately the ACE momentum has been unstoppable.
▲ All our team members are very enthusiastic, usually when your rank gets higher in the military you tend to loosen up, but since we are getting alot of new recruits now, vets like us can't just slack off (laugh). Also (T)RuBy and (Z)Gorush are doing well as senior members of the team.

- One more match to go in R2.
▲ Our opponent is Samsung, everyone can expect an excited match. (T)firebathero and (P)M18M were from Samsung, they will be of great help to us.

- Anything else you want to say?
▲ Merry Christmas (laugh). Although my service will end soon, I definately will not be relaxed.

ACE for the win! Remember guys, don't catch a cold.

But seriously, I do have to say that ACE interviews are [teamwise] my favourite interviews to read. There's quite a bit of diversity in what the players say and how they express themselves.

Xellos seems like a man of few words.

Well if eStro is still around, then Ace would STILL be 9th.

This ranking is wrong and outdated as I clearly remember ACE with 7 wins now (wow!) and 10 loss and given the results of other teams and matches, they are now 8th place! They might even rise up to 7th place after today or if they keep this up.

Imagine..... ACE...... in PL Playoffs..... PL Finals.....

Yeah definitely outdated, the ladder from yesterday's match showed ACE at 7-10 with a -2 win/lose diff. Wish they'd actually spend more effort maintaining their websites

They're definitely beating KT (therefore ACE is 8th right now) and if Wemade wins today against Woongjin, they'll be 7th.
