Lolz, I did Flash's interview earlier but was too lazy to do Perfective's, so here ya go!



Q: It’s been a while since the last time you were sent out and got a win.
A: It’s regrettable that I was only able to make 1 kill, but even though I lost, since our team won in the end, I’m happy about it. I always have the basic mindset of making 2 or 3 kills, so when I lost, I was anxious about what to do if our team lost, but by seeing Perfective get sent out after me, make 3 kills, and earning our team victory, I was also happy by his performance.

Q: Since it has been a while since the last time you were sent out, it seems disappointing that you were only able to do 1 kill.
A: Since it was already arranged for me to be sent out as the first player in today’s match last week, I prepared hard for it. But Calm played too well, so I lost. If another opportunity comes next time, then I want to take on the challenge of getting an all-kill again. Truthfully speaking, I told my teammates today that my games didn’t go well. The 1st set didn’t go the way I liked it, but in the 2nd set my hands were loose and moved smoothly. But I lost to my opponent’s mind games, so it was too late to recover from that. I completely lost to his mind games. [T/N: Braaain Zerrrrrrrrrrrrrg~]

Q: It seems that in practice, you didn’t know what appropriate strategy to go out with.
A: I didn’t predict correctly which player would be sent out on “Benzene”. I thought that Kal would definitely come out on there, so I practiced for that. I excluded the possibility of a TvZ and used a build I had prepared before in the past. Even though I didn’t practice for TvZ, I had a past strategy that I had prepared up my sleeve so I was boosted by confidence, but in the end, I lost.

Q: Even though you lost, KT won.
A: After seeing that the players who regularly don’t get fielded out have been continuously rising, it gives us hope that our team will also do well in Rounds 5 and 6 and really encourages us. Now we don’t even have only a 1 win difference with SK Telecom in 1st place. After making continuous wins, I want to defeat SK Telecom again at Gwangahnri in the finals. [T/N: Hahaha Flash, you have a great sense of humor~ Such a funny player with lots of personality!]

Q: Since your teammates are doing well recently, there haven’t been many chances for you to be sent out. We’re seeing a similar pace with Jaedong now.
A: Recently I’m focusing on the recovery of my wrist. Since it’s continuously growing worse, I’m fussing a lot over it. I have to make a complete recovery when the next individual leagues come, so I’m doing my best to recover. Truthfully speaking though, I haven’t really been able to watch Hwaseung’s matches. Hwaseung has also rose to 2nd place in Winners’ League. [T/N: Remember, this interview was taken before Hwaseung’s match yesterday vs. Woongjin. Hwaseung is currently in 3rd place now.] We were both at the bottom of the rankings, so I was cheering for them to rise again, but if they start to catch up with us, then I want to tell them that our team is going to win it all in the end (laughs). We have a match with Hwaseung next week, so I want to win without fail and show the fans that our team is the stronger team. [T/N: Ohohoho, things just heated up now!! You can always count on Flash to spice things up!]

Q: How are you treating your wrist nowadays?
A: I’ve been going to a traditional medicine clinic and have been doing hot compressions on it. Since there haven’t been any huge improvements or progress, the manager is also worrying a lot. It’s not a hindrance to me when I practice, but when the individual leagues start again, I’m worried about the state of it. That’s why it’s a relief to me that I haven’t been sent recently so that I could take a little break from our matches, so I’m thankful to my teammates that they’ve been doing well. I have a lot of worries about the second half of Proleague though. My wrist does hurt, but I have confidence that I’ll continue to do well, and since my teammates are doing great as well, there are no big problems.

Q: Any last words you want to say?
A: Today is our manager’s birthday, so I told him that I would do an all-kill as a birthday present for him. But since I made only 1 kill and then lost, it was regrettable, but I think that Perfective’s performance was a great present to our manager. I haven’t been able to be sent out that often lately, and seeing that I was only able to make 1 kill today made my fans most likely disappointed, so I will do my best to show an even better performance in the future.
