Q: You've made it to the Shanghai Finals. How does it feel?
A: <Stats> It's really great [laugh]. But most of all, I'm happy we won 2 - 0. We can finally rest [laugh].
<Hoejja> It really feels like a dream we made it to the Shanghai Finals. It felt really fruitless when we started the Round of Six Playoffs, but it feels like a dream now that we achieved our goal. I'm still stunned. It doesn't feel like it happened to me, but someone else.
<Roo> I'm really happy we climbed up to Shanghai. I'm relieved just because we can rest now [laugh].
<Action> Even just when we started the Round of Six Playoffs, I thought it would be difficult, but it feels great now that we struggled really hard to get up here.
Q: You returned to becoming "Go God Min" from a "Paewang".
A: <Hoejja> It's a huge relief that I've been able to perform this well [laugh]. I was actually worried that my momentum was broken after I lost yesterday, but after playing today it felt like my momentum was still great. If I go into the finals like this, I would be able to have a good showing.
Q: You have a four game winning streak in the post season. Did you expect this?
A: <Roo> I'm a bit flustered because I did a lot better than I had expected [laugh]. I'm just happy that the team wins with me when I win [laugh].
Q: You must have been nervous that your momentum would have been broken if you had lost today after winning yesterday.
A: <Action> Yesterday I thought that if I lost today I would lose my momentum, but I felt really comfortable playing today. I hope I'd be just as comfortable in the future [laguh]. I think I've removed a huge burden from my shoulders with yesterday's victory and that led me to play a good game today. I rememberd the saying that I've heard that if you win in the end, that's all they will remember, and that advice led to a good result.
Q: You beat SK Telecom's Bisu last year at the Gwanganlli finals.
A: <Stats> I'm thinking that I really want to face Bisu again and reap another victory. I felt an extreme pleasure from taking down a strong player in the prevoius Gwanganlli fianls and I want to have this feeling again.
Q: Do you think the Four Zerg strategy will work against SK Telecom?
A: <Hoejja> Because every team has good players of different races it'd be different, but as if we try, I think we could be a match for them. Because the four Zerg has really good momentum right now, I'm confident that we will be able to win even if our opponent is SK Telecom.
Q: Your matchup against Protoss is extremely good right now. Do you want to face Bisu?
A: <Hoejja> He is an opponent that I would like to face in the Final Stage at least once. But even then I hope Stats takes care of Bisu [laugh]. Isn't Stats the player that can match up with Bisu? [laugh]
Q: This should be your first time being a main player in the Final Stage.
A: <Roo> I feel really great that the team made it because I've been able to perform. Isn't it an honor that I get to stand in that grand of a stage?
<Action> I've been in an outdoor stage during the Round of Eight in Starleague, but this is my first time in that big of a stage. I'm a bit worried that I'll be nervous, but I want to have fun during this finals.
Q: You were sent out after Flash lost and took the victory. It was a situation where you could have fallen apart.
A: <Roo> To be honest because it was a situation where Flash had the game but lost to a comeback victory, my hands were shaking as I was warming up. But because the coaching staff was next to me taking care of me, I think I was able to win. I talked with Crazy Hydra hyung and the other coaches and I felt convinced that my opponent's build was 12 Hatch. So I decided to do nine pool, and I'm relieved that it worked well.
Q: Is there anything else you want to say?
A: <Action> I'm really thankful to our teammates, coaching staff, and people at the executive office. They've put in a lot of effort for a long period of time, and I want to have them smile to the end by doing well in the remaining finals [T/N: Alternatively, "I want to show them us smiling until the end"]. The executive office got us Hong Sam [T/N: Type of Ginger root that's good for you] and we were able to eat that and win. I really want to thank them.
<Roo> I want to thank our executive staff, coaching staff, and my teammates. I was extremley nervous before going into the game today, and I want to thank coach Kim Sang Hoon and Kang Do Gyung for helping me prepare myself. I think that I'm only here today because my parents and my friends never hold themselves back cheering for me. I'm really thankful to them and I also wnat to thank the KT executive office who got us Hong Sam to take care of our stamina.
<Hoejja> I want to thank the executive staff and the coaching staff who had faith in me until the end. If they didn't believe in me, "Go God Min" would have never been born. I think I've only paid back half of what they've given me. I will pay the rest back all at once with a win in the Finals. Although SK Telecom is a strong team, I think the coaching staff showed everyone what a godly entry is like. I want to ask them for godly entries in the finals too. And this morning Violet hyung sent me a text and because the score went as predicted as Violet hyung, I'm really happy. I want to thank him for cheering for us even though he's still sick.
<Stats> Reach hyung, Anyppi, and Tempest hyung really helped me a lot. Violet hyung also sent me encouragement through text messages despite still being unwell. I want to thank them all. Also, I was able to win today because Manager Lee and Coach Kang Do Gyung helped me calm down when I was nervous.
KT HWAITING!
I wouldn't be able to concentrate after drinking that thing...
