"I'm so happy I can't believe it"
![[image loading]](http://fomos.kr/board/interview/1297506118_1.jpg)
- Feelings on your first final?
▲ I'm so happy I can't describe it. I think I'll feel it when I return to the house and my teammates congratulate me. I can't believe it a single bit of it right now because I'm so happy.
- You beat Jaedong, the best ZvZer.
▲ I only practiced with my teammates, and I focused more on my play rather than how Jaedong was going to play. I wasn't more nervous that Jaedong was my opponent.
- You dominated from the first game.
▲ I took a safe build to show that I didn't fall behind in pure skill. I tried to make the game into a Mutalisk fight.
- You beat your opponent in Mutalisk micro in the first two sets.
▲ The Muta fights started without much trouble, and I think I won easily because Jaedong came out very aggressively. I think it's easier to play on the defense.
- You also showed aggressive play near the end.
▲ I thought that I could end it then and there, so I pushed aggressively, and it worked.
- Did you sense the hidden hatchery in Game 3?
▲ I saw his base with the Overlord, but I didn't see a Hatchery at his natural, so I suspected it. But I think I lost because I tried to make too many Drones. I thought I had almost won, but unfortunately I lost.
- What did you think when you were up 2:0?
▲ Every time I started to get other thoughts, I tried to focus. I concentrated, thinking that it wasn't over yet.
- You got caught up to 2:2 in a heartbeat - what did you think?
▲ It was okay until it was 2:1, but before Game 5 I thought "This is it, so focus". No other thoughts came to mind..
- Is it harder to micro Zerglings compared to Mutalisks?
▲ Usually I think that my Zerglings and Mutalisks are the strongest, but I think Jaedong used his Zerglings exceptionally well today, so if people think so, that must be why.
- Did you prepare the build in Game 5?
▲ I felt that I needed to use my planned build in order to not have regrets. I debated on it right up to the start of the game, but I played thinking to play as I planned. When I was practicing, I thought "If it goes to Game 5, I'll win" and therefore I could be confident in my play.
- You're playing great in the final.
▲ I thought that ZerO would advance, so I was a little surprised when I saw the results. I don't have any particular thoughts, just that I must win.
- great likes using Hive tech units.
▲ That's his style, so I think I must play him to understand his play. Even if it goes to Hive tech, I'm confident that I will win.
- Your ZvZ has been outstanding lately.
▲ I was always confident in it, but I used to get unlucky and my games wouldn't work out well. I practiced a lot after R1 of SPL, and I think it's paying off.
- Your loss in Game 3 was the first of your MSL.
▲ When it was 2:0 I thought "I can get to the final without any losses", but because the record is no more, it doesn't bother me.
- Thoughts on the final?
▲ I have a week left, and I'm just going to practice like I always do. I think I can easily win if I do that, so I don't need to go through any special training. I'll practice well.
- Your team has a Winners League game between now and the final.
▲ If it's my turn, I'll play.
- Final words?
▲ I want to thank our Zergs SonGDuri, minoR, Where, Cola, and Orion, and ask them to help me during the final too. The fans are the biggest driving force behind my play, and if they cheer for me during the final I promise to repay them with a victory.

if he took out Jaedong he must win!! nooo JD T.T

Lee Jae Dong 
Hydra has been pretty beastly though, lets just hope its isnt a one time fluke but he will continue to grow to solidly take the spot of the number 2 zerg
Jaedong needs to sharpen his edge though :/
EDIT: thanks for the interview!

Hydra is definitely the favorite in the final but I wouldn't be surprised if Great wins.

I swear, I think there's a jinx that no Z after sAviOr is ever getting a Golden Badge or something, or that no Z will have a chance of tying Nada, not to mention the double silver when dual leaguing.
Thanks for the translation. I am not happy about the result (HUGE understatement), but congrats to Hydra.

After winning the first Korean Air OSL, Effort will now claim this MSL? 
Thanks for the translation!
|
Neo-Effort will win the MSL, then retire.

The starcraft gods really don't want NaDa's record to be matched/beaten.
Anywho, congrats to Hydra!

nope .. i never thought of them to take it all .. it was BO1, but Classic was really surprising though :D

What if we are watching right now, the slow descent of Jaedong from the top?
Like some people said, he doesnt seem to have his deathstare...
|
Couldn't have imagined seeing Hydra or great have a shot at being a champion. But its nice to see someone other than JD and Flash win so..

Lol pun

Interview of a winner, short, precise and confident.
Let's see if we get a nice Effort replacement. The scene would need some new blood at the very top.
