Bisu: “Flash keeps on coming out as the ace player”
Bisu has rewritten history again in the Winners’ League. Bisu has gotten 20 wins from Winners’ League alone, and has surpassed “Final Boss” Flash as the 1st place ranked player with the most wins; his overall record of 37 wins has also surpassed Flash’s record, making him the sole person to stand at 1st place with the most wins. For the first time in a whole season, Bisu has made 3 consecutive all-kills and has been reborn in this season’s Winners’ League.

Q: You lead the way to a victory for your team with 3 kills.
A: Since it’s been a while since the last time our team had won, I’m really happy. My games were going well so that I was able to make 3 kills, but my game against HiyA didn’t go well at all, so I feel really regrettable about it. The chance to make another all-kill was right in front of my eyes, but to let that chance slip away from me was really disappointing.
Q: Did you think that you could be able to make an all-kill after you defeated Jaedong?
A: Until now, after I made 3 kills, I would always win and make another all-kill, so after I defeated Jaedong, I got too overexcited over the fact that I had the chance to make another all-kill and was unprepared for what was going to come next. During my match with HiyA, he was simply too good and overpowered me, so I couldn’t pull off another all-kill. It’s my fault that I was unprepared for what was coming.
Q: You receive a lot of criticisms for your lacking Carrier performances. Today you also used them against HiyA and lost.
A: I usually use them well in practice though (laughs). But for some strange reason, it looks like I don’t have good Carrier micro and macro in televised matches. Since my televised games with Carriers always don’t go that well, I was quite irritated about that. I’m really good with them in practice though. Please believe me (laughs). It seems that I must refine my Carrier play again. [T/N: You have 3 options Bisu: 1. You can call up Stork and get a few pointer tips from him, 2. You can completely eliminate using Carriers from your play in the future and never use them again, and always go with mass High Templars instead since you do have sick storm control, or 3. Call up Flash and practice a gazillion bazillion jillion times against his anti-Carrier build/goliath control and hope that your Carrier play improves somewhat, if not a little. Good luck.]
Q: You have rewritten Winners’ League history.
A: It seems that the 3rd Round has passed by really quickly. I’m satisfied with my personal record and all, but there are a lot of regrets about our team’s record. It would be great if my teammates would show an even better performance in the 4th Round. [T/N: Ooh, Bisu telling his teammates how it is! Laying down the smackdown!] I got really lucky in this round. The manager and coaches put their trust in me at the right moments so that I was able to pull off 3 consecutive all-kills.
Q: Please say one word about your resolution for Round 4.
A: I have confidence in myself. Since half of this season has passed now, I think of Round 4 as a new beginning. In the past when Proleague lasted for one year, I thought that that was really long time, but now I think that time has passed by really quickly. I will try not to lose more in the future, and will also try to do my best all the way to the end.
Q: Any last words you want to say?
A: It would be nice if Flash would stop keeping on coming out as the ace player for his team and not rack up many wins (laughs). [T/N: Shush, Flash fans! Flash said the same thing for Bisu, so we’re even here. ;P]
Fantasy: “I was careless after winning the OSL championship”
Is it because of the so-called post-champion curse? After overtaking Stork 3:0 in the Bacchus Starleague 2010 finals and winning the overall championship, he was not able to get another win even once. Fantasy had slumped after winning the OSL and heard cynical comments about SK Telecom being a one-man team carried by Bisu, and has achieved a questionable record of 5:4 in Round 3. [T/N: Not anymore! Fantasy won the ace match, so “SKTBisu” is long gone.]

[T/N: Not anymore! Fantasy won the ace match, so “SKTBisu” is long gone.]
Q: It’s been a long time since the last time you were been sent out as the ace player and won.
A: While I was in a losing streak, the team was also in a losing streak, so there was a lot of pressure on me. But since I won in the end and contributed to our team, it’s a huge relief to me.
Q: Right after the day you won the championship in the Bacchus Starleague, you lost to Stork. How did you feel at that time? [T/N: These interviewers, seriously…]
A: Truthfully speaking, right after the day I won the championship, I had pure confidence in myself that I could win against him again. Even though I hadn’t really practiced, I thought that I could still win, but that thought was a huge miscalculation. And after I had won the championship, it seems that I entered a losing streak while still enjoying the feelings of victory from that day. Now, I’ve honestly mostly forgotten about winning the championship, and have returned to my original initial resolution to practicing as hard as I can. [T/N: The post-championship curse, it really exists!]
Q: Just before Bisu was about to make an all-kill, he was defeated by HiyA. When your turn to participate came, it seemed that you were under a lot of pressure.
A: I thought that he would successfully be able to do an all-kill if he won against Jaedong hyung, but HiyA played really well. However, since I always have confidence against HiyA, I played my game with the mindset that I was going to be the one who would win. [T/N: Ohohooo, BM against HiyA!!]
Q: It must’ve been really hard on you for falling into a losing streak right after winning the championship.
A: After winning the Starleague championship and losing in Proleague, I couldn’t even raise my head in front of the executive office and coaching staff, so it was really hard on me. Since my performance in today’s match wasn’t very satisfying, I have to try to improve myself more little by little.
Q: During that time, did you think of why you had entered a losing streak?
A: I have a problem where I keep on dwelling on a big match and can’t get over it, even after it has ended. Even though the finals I’ve been to in the past are now long over, I still keep on remembering how I lost in them. But I think that time can heal wounds. Since I’ve finished with a good performance, I think that I can show an even better one in Round 4.
Q: Bisu has revived your team in Round 3. It seems that you feel sorry towards him.
A: Even though I do feel sorry towards him, I’m also thankful to him. Our team had to be good to Bisu hyung in critical moments so that we could be able to overcome the crisis and advance forward. [T/N: Okay, this is totally a “SKTBisu” moment here…] To make sure that he’s not having a hard time alone and ease his burden, I have to try harder too in Round 4.
Q: Any last words you want to say?
A: When I fell into a losing streak after winning the OSL championship, I made a lot of people worry about me. Since I’m working even harder than I did in the past, I ask those who worried about me to not worry about me anymore and to anticipate an even better performance from me in the future. [T/N: Oh, you better, Fantasy. You better.]

WASSUP GUISE, LOOK WHO GOT THE MVP AWARD.
...and HiyA too. But he totally deserves it, since he's such a boss.
This guy at the bottom has been a SK Telecom sports fan for 11 years. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Not only does he support the SK Wyverns (a baseball team), but he also supports SK T1! Baller veteran fan right there.
The secret to Bisu getting so many all-kills lately? Fussing over his looks, of course.
Hwaseung coaches: *High-fives Killer* "Good job, Killer!"
And then the rest of Hwaseung:
Lomo: "I wonder who'll be sent out next? Oh, apparently it's you, Jaedong."
Jaedong: "Crap. I wanted to be sent out for the ace match and not so soon, dammit."
Killer: "...you guys aren't going to high-five me? Just you wait, all of you.... After all, my name is Killer."
But then, Killer spots an attractive fan in the audience and completely misses his high-five!
Killer: "Oh, well hello THERE..."
*Lecturing Soo after getting defeated by Killer*
Coach Park: "Ugh! Soo! What are we going to do about you? Your record has been absolutely piss poor lately."
Coach Doctor.K: "Perhaps we could try sending out Kwanro next?"
Coach Park: "No, he's been trying to go for Hive tech builds lately, and you know how those games end up back in the practice house. But Soo, I really do think you have potential, I really do."
Soo: "...really? You believe in me then?" *Picks nose*
Coach Park: "Yes, I sincerely do."
Coach Doctor.K: "......*Sigh*"
PerfectMan: "YES, GO KILLER GO!!"
ShY: "You know PerfectMan, it's not nice to look so happy while our fellow teammate is struggling."
PerfectMan: "..." *Mutters in a low voice that no one else hears* "But I liquibetted Bisu...."
Dun dun duuunnn, Anytime caught texting on his phone!
Anytime: *Abruptly drops it* "It's not me, I swear!! It's not me who's been the one giving away our plans to Airforce ACE!!! Oh wait, oops..."
s2: *Turns around* "Hey Hyuk, could you hand me that-"
Hyuk: "!!!"
s2: *Pulls back hand quickly* "Oh god hyung, I didn't mean to do that, it was an accident, my hand just-"
Hyuk: "HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-"
s2: "Okay okay, I got it, I got it!! I ain't what you think I am though. I swear."
BeSt, going over builds with Bisu:
BeSt: "So Bisu, if you go up against Jaedong, then you could do this here, and-"
Bisu: "Uh huh, go on-"
BeSt: "And then you could do that there, and..." *Trails off* "...Bisu, could you put on a jacket or something? The way you're standing is kinda... distracting...."
Bisu: "Huh? But I always stand like this."
BeSt: "Just put go one on!!!"
Bisu: "Okay okay-"
Bisu: "Whoopsies, my pants slipped down a bit, uhuh, uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh!"
BeSt in background: "BISU DID YOU PUT ON A JACKET YET?!??"
Bisu: "I sure did, uhuhuhuhuhuh↗"
BALLER HIYA BEING SENT OUT FOR THE ACE MATCH.
But alas, Jung Laden is sent to take Magikarp out.
Fantasy: "Wanna know my secret to macroing? Just use some good ol' masking tape and tape down the keys used for making units! Works like a charm for me."
Bisu: *Sees Fantasy sneaking off*
Bisu: "Fantasy, you're going to go play some DDR after winning, right?"
Fantasy: *Freezes in tracks* "...wha? Of, of course not!! I'm going to go uhhh, straight to the bathroom instead, yes!"
Bisu: "You're going to go play DDR in the bathroom?"
Fantasy: "..."
BeSt: "Come on Fantasy man, it's group picture time."
Fantasy: "Oh, o-okay~"
Sun: "Why is he all stammering like that?"
Kwanro: *Sniffs the air* "Ohhh, Fantasy. I know what you did. But don't worry. It's our dirty little secret between us." *Winks* ;D
Fantasy: "...I text messaged stargirl Yunji about my win?"
Kwanro: "Exactly! You dirty little rascal, flirting with stargirls nowadays!"
Fantasy: "Ahahahah, yeeeahhh, sureee..." *In mind* "WHEW."
And last but not least, it ain't a SKT group picture without Fantasy's classic toothy grin. Creepertastic!
