Bisu!! Hairtoss!(T/N: This is my first time translating... let me know if I should change anything ^^)
-How do you feel about reaching the Ro16?
It's a relief that I survived the Ro32 as I thought my group was the strongest. And I'm glad that I got my revenge on
Shine (haha).-On the whole, it felt like you "gritted your teeth" for this game.
Because the games ended pretty quickly I wasn't able to show that much but I really prepared for these games. When I practiced, good situations came out and I was confident for today's game as well, but I was a little surprised because the situation was a little different than in practice. My hands were also shaking a lot. In the 1st set, after my cannon rush succeeded, I was really shaking (haha).
-In the winner's match, you played
Kal.I practiced PvP more. I was confident and the game went the way I predicted so I was happy.
-In the 1st set you cannon rushed. You don't use this strategy often...
Looking at the map, if there was a space for cannons I wanted to build them. In practice, I tried cannon rushing and because it worked well, I won almost all those matches. In practice, the opponent zerg would usually finish the hatchery and block it or if the hatchery got taken down the game would end. But unlike my expectation,
Shine cancelled the hatchery and made one at a different location which startled me.-You defended against
Shine's all-in attack well.I think it was because I had already made alot of zealots. While I was scouting, I saw hydras so I thought 'lurkers are probably coming' but at that moment, 3 lurkers came to attack. I was really surprised and thought that I had lost. It was nervewracking. Although there were also alot of zerglings, I blocked it well and sighed in relief. I targeted the lurkers with my cannons. If I did not target the lurkers, I would have lost. Because I did not have any observers, if I did not get past that point, I would have handed over the game. To be honest, I don't really remember that point of the game (haha). My hands moved as if in a trance (T/N: Thank you Ambasa! trance sounds much better than my former words: like crazy by themselves, lol).
-Against
Kal, you used dark templars.Because my probe stayed alive for a long time, I was able to keep the advantage. I gained even more from the dark templar so I thought I could not lose. If Kal had produced observers first, it would have been hard. So I debated on whether to make dark templars or not, but I decided to make them and in the end, it worked well.
-In the Ro16, you will meet
StorkI am really looking forward to it. It's been a long time since I've played Byung-goo hyung and I think it will be fun. I had hoped to meet him in the Ro8 or Ro4 so I am a little disappointed. I will do my best to win.
-Many zergs have advanced. Expectations for Kim Taek Yong are rising.
I'm not sure yet. It's hard. Because I haven't practiced that much, I'm not sure. If I am at a disadvantage, I will find a way around it; if I am at an advantage, I will take the advantage and win. First of all, I need to advance to Ro8.
-Any last words?
Even though there was no practice today, thank you to
s2, (임)홍규, By.Sun, and MBC Saint. I'm glad I was able to answer my fans cheers encouraging me to advance. I feel I've received so much love and this season I will repay this love with results. And lastly, my older brother's birthday is tomorrow so I'd like to wish him a happy birthday (haha). I wish everyone a happy new year.Source: http://www.fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=113893&db=interview&cate=001&page=1&field=&kwrd=

-How do you feel about reaching the Ro16?
Because it was very hard group, I was feeling burdened so I'm very happy I made it to the Ro16. My heart feels lighter.
-Your poor results after you got the grand award (T/N: the daesang he won as Protoss of the year) must have troubled you.
In recent games, things did not seem to be working out well so I was distressed. Thankfully I won today, so I am very glad. The team is on vacation and from now, I am on vacation and I will be able to enjoy my vacation.
-Today you met a lot of opponents against whom you do not have good records against.
It was daunting. Although it was daunting, I had confidence and practicing until late last night really helped.
-In the Winner's match,
Bisu went dark templar.I did not know he would use dark templar. I thought he was scouting a lot to play greedily and I really had no idea that dark templar were coming. It really caught me off guard. The moment the dark templar arrived, I thought "It's going to be hard today" (haha). I met Bisu yesterday at 2AM on battle.net and he asked me about PvZ. Because he has the skills to advance 2:0, him asking me was a little... funny (haha). I hope he will teach me too (haha). Sometimes he does teach me but I don't really hang on to people and ask them so I didn't ask (haha). Our conversation was me saying I did not know that much and didn't have anything to teach. I'm watching VODs of good people and imitating them so I had nothing to teach him (haha).
-In the final match, there was a zergling drop.
I did not see that coming at all. Looking at the build, I thought he was going for a greedy play. I was very surprised. Luckily, I defended well and was able to continue without much issue. After that, things went well but I'm a little disappointed I could not finish the game quickly.
-Against zerg, protoss these days are doing well
Today, because I was at an advantage, I could win and these days zerg have also advanced a lot. After hive, play becomes hard and I think now the time has come for protoss to stand up to the challenge (T/N: Thanks again Ambasa)
-In the Ro16, there are 9 zergs.
It is worrisome that zergs are doing so well. Bisu and I are going to grab a meal together. I will ask him for help and I will do my best to defeat
RorO and get to the Ro8. I think if I plan by myself, it will be a little hard. -Last words?
Because it was vacation, there weren't that many people to practice with and I failed to keep in good condition (haha). So today all of my games were weird and I would like to apologize to all my fans. In the Ro16, I will show a sharp well polished game like a pro. 2010 is coming to a close, I hope everyone ends their year well and happy new year.
