EPTYellow : The first thing we promised each other when we got into semis was lets never ever meet in the 3/4 deciding match. It's kinda sad that teammates played the 3/4 match but I don't have regrets because we had great games. If I just win at Dual Tournament things will be the same.
Reach : When it was decided I will be playing a teammate at 3/4 deciding match I just cleared my mind. I joked with Yellow at our house that "Dual is going to be very hard" (Just to clear things up Reach was not saying he didn't care but that he decided to not have pressure and just have fun)
Q : (To Reach) How did you feel when you lost your first game?
Reach : I felt that I must win 2, 3, and 4th match. I won the 2nd and 3rd match and was in the advantage during the 4th match but Yellow played so well. At the end part of the 4th game I had a hard time saying "GG" because I thought I would loose for sure at Mercury on the 5th game.
Q : (To Yellow) Did you have a winning scenario?
Yellow : I didn't specifically plan out which games to win and which games to loose. I won so much during practice and I was very confident. So when I won the first match I thought I would win for sure. I believed firmly that the maps were favoring my side. The fact that maps favor your side isn't only a good thing. I thought that the maps favored me heavily and so I slacked off during practice, and I also think that if the opponent finds a counter strat on a disfavoring map, the opponent will have a good chance at winning.
Q : (To Reach) What was you favorite game today?
Reach : I like the 2nd game at Requiem. I feel like I won in a "Protoss" Style. A true man's pride should is zealots.
Q : (To Yellow) Comment on the 5th game.
Yellow : Don't ask. (He laughs) I think I lost in the 5th game because I lost too many units for attacking. I knew high templars were using storms but I just attacked blank-mindedly. After that I got a hold of myself but it was too late to turn it back.
Q : (To Yellow) How do you feel going down to Dual tournament?
Yellow : Like I said if I pass the Dual tournament there is no difference with getting a seed. Let's just say that I gave up the seed for Reach. If we weren't on the same team I would be mad but since my teammate beat me for third place I have no bad feelings. Afterall Reach did get 3rd place so he sould buy people a meal. (In Korea when its your birthday, or if something good happens you treat your friends/family/people to a meal+whatever you want)
After this interview I will discuss with him about what he is going to treat us with.
Reach : Of course I will buy Yellow what he wants since I beat him. (He smiles) I won't choose what to buy, Yellow can choose what he wants.
Q : Your last comments of tonight.
Yellow : I feel relieved. I will go back to a beginner's mind and practice for the Dual. After loosing 3-0 to Boxer I lost a will to play the game. Although I lost today, I will practice hard and pass the dual and appear in the next starleauge.
Reach : First of all, it feels kind of empty now that the Starleague is over. I accomplished my first goal of getting a seed but its natural for a person to want more and in the next starleague I want to get in the finals, and do more than just earn a seed.
