Strange this wasn't translated instantly. I guess Flash is the final evil boss everyone wants to see losing? ;p

[image loading]

- Comments on leading your team to victory with 3 kills?
▲ I am happy, as it seems that my winning ratio is pretty good as the captain. I was happy too when Stats did all-kill last time, but this time, it feels even better as I personally ended the match as the ace.

- You've been receiving a lot of wrist massages recently, is it in bad condition?
▲ It has become better nowadays, with team taking care of it so well. Just today though, the matches were quite long, so it cramped up. It's difficult for me -- with cramps on my arms and legs -- if I keep on playing these long matches like we had today.

- Wasn't it pressuring to play as the captain today?
▲ Teammates have been not playing their best this season, and I believe that's a homework for us to solve together. Even so, I know they all know it, so it was a little burdening on me. I think it'll be better from now on though. There's no need to worry. As long as I do my best, teammates will also revive.

- In the last match, you used nukes.
▲ It's not that I have anything against sKyHigh, but I just felt rather sad toward myself... so I did that. With wrists not feeling great now, and having difficulties with various things, I felt proud of my mental strength. I don't usually do that, but I almost had the game and coupled with strong emotions, I used nukes. The game should have ended after using the nukes, it was extended a bit more than it should have.

- What kind of records do you expect to achieve in this Winner's League?
▲ First, Bisu-hyung keeps on doing greedy all-kills. I wish he would be more fair and only do 3-kills instead (laugh). The win rate continues to widen, and right now, I don't think anyone can beat Bisu-hyung. Anyway, if he keeps on being way ahead of everyone else, fans might find it boring. So, I think it'll be good if he would just leave 1 win difference and increase our win rate together (laugh).

- Most of the matches today has been macro-based long matches.
▲ Although there's the factor of wanting to play it safe, it was a little different when I took on Leta-hyung. There's no real way to win in TvT if the opponent just stays alive to the end, so I think I used too much energy in that match.

- Isn't there a stamina issue with long matches?
▲ When I end these long matches, I feel exhausted regardless of whether I win or lose. At that exact moment, cramps come up. That is really excruciating for me. Thankfully, cramps happened today after the last match with sKyHigh.

- Is there any secrets to win in the long matches?
▲ I guess it is a tactic if you call it that -- it is important to make different decisions using scans here and there. TvT often has a lot of matches where map control is divided half-half, and if I can get to that point, I am fairly confident that I won't lose.

- There were potential dangers with Spider Mine yeok-daebak (reverse great luck).
▲ Honestly, I thought I can't possibly lose that match, right from the start. Then, while scan wasn't available, Spider Mine yeok-daebak happened. So I thought, "Ah, am I going to lose in such ridiculous way again?". Thankfully, I won that match though.

- As stated before, being eliminated from both leagues (MSL/OSL) has worked better for you.
▲ It is very fortunate there's only Proleague. After being eliminated, it looked like it's a great case for me. First, it gave me the chance to recover my health, and it would certainly have been very challenging if I had to 3-kill like today while active in both leagues. Of course, it's disappointing to be eliminated, but I can take this time to recoup my skills.

- FanTaSy made it to the finals of Starleague.
▲ I really like FanTaSy-hyung. But if Stork-hyung makes it too, it'll be a difficult choice for me since I'm on good terms with both of them. I might do a bet with the teammates and cheer for one of them. Personally, I wish FanTaSy-hyung would break his jinx now.

- If either one requested practice help, which one will you help?
▲ Regardless of whom, whoever asks first will be helped first (laugh). If FanTaSy-hyung asks me first not to help Stork-hyung, then I won't help Stork-hyung. If Stork-hyung asks me to help first, then I will help him.

- You might now desire a new winning record.
▲ Last year, I managed 57 wins. For this season, I want to achieve exactly 60 wins. That's because every season, I add additional 3 wins to my previous record. Although, teammates occasionally show their true potential here and there, so it'll probably be difficult to take in 20 wins per round (laugh).

- Any last comments?
▲ I'm actually afraid of going to the hospital, so I don't go there all that often. Then the coach took me there forcefully. He took me to a famous traditional Korean style clinics and paid for them. I am thankful for him for waiting for me to finish my treatment, which took like an hour. My arm is certainly improving now with help from all around me, I hope it'll be all well soon so I can continue playing games without worry. Also, today was the birthday of my grandmother, but I was unable to go... I am truly sorry for that. But, in my heart, I always think I am with her, and I will certainly call her. I wish she will live a long, good life.

I laughed at this. This is amusing for a number of reasons.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

Hehe, fun interview. I don't like all this talk about his arm problems though.

Thanks for translating!

If Fantasy practices with BeSt and Stork can't practice with Flash, Fantasy might actually win.

More like he's going to read it on his cellphone/tab, stop playing games for a second and call Flash.

This quote speaks of self-reflection. Flash is very much aware of the current unpopularity of LeeSsang domination, and is humored enough to crack a joke about it.

I, for one, am glad that someone other than Jaedong and Flash is showing signs of PL domination.

If Flash really wants to catch up, KT coach should just place him as the starter. The downsides are that it deprives opportunities from other KT players, and also out of concern for Flash.

It seems to be that all kill may not be good for Flash's physical well being.

Heck, getting out both of OSL and MSL is actually a blessing in disguise.

Re-read that interview.

Flash clearly stated that if Fantasy requests first, then Flash will not help STORK. Meaning if Fantasy asks first, Stork won't get help from Flash. But if Stork asks first, Flash will help Stork with TvP practice.
