Edit: About Cella saying that he qualified to Code A ... I believe this is wrong but translator said that there is no mistake in translation. Literal translation from korean interview will be "I've attained the right to participate in Code A this time." So, no idea people, sorry

Interview with BoxeR and Cella. Korean Source
Your thoughts on winning?
Boxer: I’m really happy that the players played so well, and I feel that they’ve improved so much over such a short period of time. It’s hard to make the players realize their own character, but I’m very happy because it seems like we’ve become the best team.
Cella: Personally I don’t think I’ve made many contributions to the players in regards to skill, but they’ve tried so hard to benefit the team, and I’m extremely thankful and happy for that.
What are your future plans?
Boxer: So far my efforts have been to help the players realize that SlayerS is truly a pro team and to help them realize their own character. The contributions and preparations that Cella provided us are immense, especially in preparation for the new patch. As a new team, we want to show a modest and diligent image.
This is something I wanted to say before the matches: we’re not a weak team, but anyone would guess that IM is going to win, but in the perspective of the audience, it’d be more entertaining for the weaker team to win over the stronger team. However, we are no longer a weak team. We wish to remain as a modest team, a team that will continue to improve.
Any ambitions you had prior to the matches?
Boxer: My wishes were to prevent the team from wholly revolving around me, and to introduce the players and our teamwork to the audience and fans. The hardest part of the tournament was to suppress my desire to play. I tried my hardest to keep myself from telling Cella this during the finals.
Compared to the other teams, SlayerS’ players took an abnormal amount of set up time.
Cella: We wanted to allow the players to perform in the most perfect conditions and to allow them to play to their fullest.
Boxer: I apologize if the other teams thought it was disrespectful and in the next league we’ll make sure to compensate. I think it was result of poor communication.
Plans for the next season?
Boxer: Even though we became the champions, we are still a new team so we won’t be cocky about it. We’ll continue to reach for the top, so during the next league we’ll throw away our self image as champions and start over.
Many fans are saddened and worried that you’ve dropped down to Code A.
Boxer: It’ll sound like an excuse but I’ve been contemplating a race change as of late. These thoughts have affected my play harshly even during the matches. I realize it’s a wrong way of thinking and I’m concentrating on practicing instead. I’m trying very hard to return to Code S and I do not wish for my fans to worry too much.
Anything else you’d like to add?
Boxer: We were able to win because each player was able to pull their own weight, and for that I want to thank them. I want to thank Gayeon (<3) and our house lady for always taking care of the team. I want to thank our sponsors: Razer, Hosan ENG, EXR, Dong-ah Ocheuka and Intel. I also want to thank our fans who support us and want to ask for further support in the future.
Cella: In this GSTL I’ve concentrated my efforts as a coach. I now want to concentrate as a player. I’ve qualified for Code A in the upcoming season (I BELIEVE THIS IS A MISTAKE BY TRANSLATOR). Though I originally planned to enter Code S in 4 months, I’ve changed the plan to 6 months. I feel that even the coaches must be of high skill to understand the players’ hardships and to sympathize with them. I will try my hardest.

Your thoughts on winning?
Extremely happy. However I feel like I’m merely feasting from my teammates’ efforts again like last time.
Were you planning to play against Mvp?
I was preparing to play against him. 70% of my preparations were for Mvp, while the other 30% was for Nestea and LosirA.
You must’ve felt very pressured since you were the last player.
I’ve prepared and practiced for the map Dual Sight for a long time. I had confidence in my build and had a good win percentage among my teammates. The build I used today was a recommended by a friend named Yoon-Sung-Hoon and I want to thank him.
You’ve beaten oGsMC and IMMvp in this tournament!
All three of us are former Brood War players, but I lacked results compared to the other two, so I really felt I had to win. I’ve prepared more intensively because of this. It also feels nice to see that former Brood War players are doing so well.
Previously, no one would’ve guessed that SlayerS would take the tournament. Any secrets?
Our team spends a lot of time communicating and sharing information, and I think the results are starting to show.
It seemed like a one sided series in the beginning!
Alicia played so well and I was certain we had a good chance once he took out LosirA and Nestea. We were fully expecting IMYongHwa to be sent out in set 4, which was all according to our plan.
It seems like you’ll be pressured in Code A due to your GSTL performances.
As a pro, I feel that I’m obligated to show good results in the individual league since I’ve performed well in the team league. Thanks to our sponsors, I won’t have anything interfering with practice, so now the only thing left is to show results.
Any plans for next season?
I’ll return stronger and more ambitious than before. I’ll make sure to have no one label us as a weak team.
Anything you’d like to add?
I want to heavily thank BoxeR, Gayeon and Cella. Razer has come to every GSTL match to cheer for us and I think it helped a lot. A shoutout to my family: I love you guys!

Were you expecting the impressive 3 kills?
I was only planning to win the first set.
The fourth set was very close
The game started out well for me, but my overconfidence got the better of me.
Your victory over Nestea was surprising!
When I scouted the 3 hatches, I knew I couldn’t let the game go any further, so I ended it with the early attack.
Your future ambitions?
I now want to show good results in Code S. I regained my confidence thanks to the 3 kill.
Who is your role model?
BoxeR. I want to become a player like him.
Were your builds today improvised?
The first match was improvised, but in the second match against LosirA, I had the feeling he was going to baneling bust.
It seemed like you might have been going for an all kill.
I let my guard down due to the 3 kill.
Anything you’d like to add?
I want to thank BoxeR, Gayeon and our house lady. Also a shoutout to my parents, love you guys.
