Crazy-Hydra and Perfective- Comments on bringing the first win for the team in the 5th round?
▲ Crazy-Hydra: It was really disappointing to have lost twice in the matches against SK Telecom. But now, after winning a match, I feel like I can continue on with the momentum and play better in the future. Next time I fight against SK Telecom, I desire nothing short of a victory. I do have to say that it's a little sad to have my first victory a little later than I wanted.
▲ Perfective: The fact I couldn't help out the team during that match vs. SK Telecom was regrettable, despite this having been a while since I've been sent out. Even so, I feel a lot better now, and reminded me of the old times after finishing off STX today.
- Were there any pressure on you for taking on SK Telecom twice so soon after transferring to KT?
▲ Crazy-Hydra: Well, I thought this would be a good opportunity anyway, but it was sad to see how it ended. I took on
Bisu two days ago, and it was very unfortunate that my build didn't work. Now I'm thinking, "How would it have turned out if I chose to go macro?". I didn't choose to do an all-in because I was afraid, but since it was a new map, I wanted to try out a new, fresh build. I wish it worked though.- Despite that, that build was the talk of the day at that time.
▲ Crazy-Hydra: I just wanted to try it out. During practice, I had a success rate of half and half, but with the help of coach Kang, I confidently decided that this is the way to go. End result was poor, but I'll continue to trust the coach to help me try out variety of builds. I am thankful for him taking some weight off of my shoulders when I couldn't make up my mind.
- You've prepared twice already in the SK-KT rivalry matches. How's running as a member of KT like?
▲ Crazy-Hydra: Sure, it is a great weight on my shoulders, but I thought it would be even more fun if I win. It's definitely fun -- that rivalry setup makes me try harder, and it spurs me on. That's a plus for me.
- You showed a wonderful micro in your match vs.
Calm, leading up to your victory.▲ Crazy-Hydra: I should've played like that last time (laugh). I'm just happy now. As soon as I noticed his build, I just screamed in my mind "Oh yes!" and proceeded to take the match the way I wanted it to go. It's weird though, I was very relaxed... maybe it's because the guys before me did very well, and that probably helped me relax. I felt like I could take on anyone and win.
- The new coach, Kim Sang Hoon, will be managing the Zerg line.
▲ Crazy-Hydra: It was a very welcoming sight (laugh). Under his watchful eyes on my games, I found that I don't have to worry as much.
▲ Perfective: I like it. He's right there watching the games we play, and he tells me the things that I missed. Both coach Kang and Kim take good care of me, and thanks to that, I think my skills are improving.
- You 3-killed STX before in Round 4. Did that help you play relaxed?
▲ Perfective: I think the reason I was sent out today is because I've defeated STX before. Also, I anticipated a Protoss, and I planned to snipe him. I had the confidence that I would beat any Protoss that would show up.
- What do you think of the games today?
▲ Perfective: I tensed up a too much when I started, but seeing how the opponent was even more of a rookie than I, and with Crazy-Hydra-hyung advising me to relax, I think those factors helped me with the good result I got today.
- What is your future plans or goals?
▲ Crazy-Hydra: Winning is really fun! I wish to be able to keep having fun at the matches. When I first arrived, I felt out of place, but now, everyone's very nice to me. The atmosphere is great too. I think I might have caused inconvenience to them though, due to how relaxed it is here. I want to say I am sorry for any inconvenience I might have caused, and I want to get to know KT players better so I can be fully integrated with KT Rolsters.
▲ Perfective: I also took some time to talk with the coaches recently, and he said that my personal goal is definitely doable. Right now, my goal is to achieve 10 wins this season, but I won't be satisfied with just that. But first, I'll fulfill that first, then move onto the next step.

▲ Crazy-Hydra: I'm thankful for how nice they've been to the new guy that just arrived. When I practice, they really go out of their way to help me out, and that really helps when I prepare for a match. So many people have helped me, that it's simply impossible to name them all (laugh). Oh, and I've gotten a habit of waking up at 9 AM every morning since I came to KT. Everyone's sleeping at that time, and all of sudden, some man outside yells "Sae~ tak~" (Editor's Note: Saetak = washing clothing, and there are people who walk around yelling that to advertise their service in the morning)! When I was new here, I would wake up without the need for any alarm clock. Nowadays, I wake up and wait for him to pass by. I even woke up at 7 AM once, wondering when he'll pass by. I haven't seen him yet in person though, so next time I really want to meet him! (laugh)
▲ Perfective: I'm thankful for coaches putting the trust in me and sending me out despite my bad record. I want to also say thanks to coach Lee Gil Man for all the work he does behind the scenes. While I do talk to my parents -- one of my best supporters -- often on the phone, I want to say I'm sorry for being unable to be with them more often. Recently, 4 Zerg players came to stay in the same room, and being able to talk to them before sleeping -- that has been a very fun experience for me. I want to say thanks to
Anyppi, Reach-hyung, and all the Zerg-hyungs for their help during practice.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stats and 
BarrackS- Comments on helping the team achieve the first win in the 5th round?
▲ Stats: I didn't get to practice to perfection due to the short practice time after that previous loss, but I'm glad to see that the end result turned out to be good.
▲ Barracks: I was happy to have won in the last match, and when the next opportunity comes around, I'll try to win again. Still, the happiest moment for me was when the team won.
- You have 2 back-to-back victory record vs. SK Telecom.
▲ Barracks: With coach Kim Yun Hwan helping me with builds or mental readiness by my side, I was full of confidence. It's all working out pretty well in the matches, so I came to trust coach Kim more. My confidence is rising up even more.
- Your win today is your first official victory vs. a Zerg player.
▲ Barracks: Actually, I am confident in my matches vs. Zerg... but every time it doesn't work out at all in the televised matches, I seem to be failing just the same during practice. I think the reason I've been losing in the televised matches is because there are a lot of possible variables and intense micro required, but with today, it should be better from now on.
- You finally ended your 5 game losing streak. How did you feel about that losing streak?
▲ Stats: Of course, I was angry (laugh). My win rate wasn't that bad during preparation, and I even managed two all-kills before... I thought, surely, it'll all go well. Turned out I'd end up with a 5 game losing streak... I was really upset. During my match today, I worried how I could possibly lose again, but I chose to keep my cool and focus -- and I won. With today's victory, I'll turn it around and start winning back to back again.
- You had the image of being strong vs. Zerg, but recently, your plays vs. Zerg have been poor.
▲ Stats: To be honest, I never thought to myself that I play that well vs. Zerg. I believe I managed up to 11 wins in a row vs. Zerg because somehow, I would always win vs. them in televised matches, but this is actually a first time I've heard that I had such an image (laugh). Well, I kept losing vs. Zerg recently, so I think the fact I faced a different race this time helped me to win. Now, I have the confidence to win against the Zerg next time.
- The defeat in the first matchup in the Round 5 caused the allegation of "One-man team" to surface once again.
▲ Stats: Of course,
Flash plays at an amazing level, but everyone plays very well during practice too. I think it's just that things just go haywire in televised matches. I firmly believe that the day will come when we all show how well we really play just like during the practice. At all times, I believe in my teammates, and that they are doing their best. We're definitely not at a level where other teams can belittle us.▲ Barracks: I suppose others might see it that way, but all of us play really well during practice. I think we are definitely just as good as any other teams, and when the momentum gets going, we'll definitely be set apart as a strong team -- and may even become the champion.
- For the remainder of the matches, what are your goals?
▲ Stats: I met up with the coaches before Round 5 to discuss just that. My goal is to achieve 45 wins in Proleague. That means, I need to achieve 12 more wins... and that probably means I will have to work for it like never before.
▲ Barracks: I too, have decided on a goal, and that is to achieve 5 wins every round. I'll put forth my best efforts to achieve that goal. Coach put up a list of players and their goals in our practice room, so every time we practice, we remind ourselves of the goals. I'll make a mention that he didn't personally write that list up. Instead, he just printed it out from a computer (laugh).
- Your next opponent will be Hite -- the team that's chasing right behind you.
▲ Stats: I don't really have any specific player I'd like to face. So, I will practice harder than usual so that I would win for sure. I definitely desire to be an asset to the team.
▲ Barracks: Given chance, I will definitely win. Don't have a preference in who I want to face, but I do want to face a Protoss. I'm pretty confident in that matchup, but I don't think I've shown everything that I know. I'm very eager to show them off as quickly as I can.
- Last comments?
▲ Stats: During my preparation, I've received a lot of great advice from coach Kang, Reach-hyung, and
YellOw-hyung. In addition, Suny-hyung and Anyppi worked alongside me as well. I credit my victory today to all the help I received, and for that, I want to thank all of them. My parents were also worried due to my 5 game loss streak, and I want to tell them that, "Your son is doing well, don't worry." Also, coach Lee Gil Man works hard to make sure that we have no problems living as a progamer -- for that, I want to give him my special thanks.▲ Barracks: I want to thank the coaching staff for giving me a chance. Also, I want to say thanks to both Flash and coach Kim Yun Hwan for putting on the finishing touches on the builds and mental preparedness. Oh, and I wanted to say this before... I will say it now: I want to say thanks to Suny-hyung, Reach-hyung,
Tempest-hyung, Anyppi, and HoeJJa for all their assistance during practice.Random Note: I hear KT interviews often get translated very late. Confirm/Deny?
