This interview was translated from (Chinese)

and (Korean)

Interview
+ Show Spoiler +
Monster and DongRaeGu, as MVPs of Team MVP

[image loading]

Q: How does it feel leading the team to victory?
Monster: It's the first time I got a multi-kill, and I'm really happy. I usually get knocked out after winning a single game, so it feels good to get a multi-kill.

DongRaeGu: I gave up IEM to prepare for GSTL. Very glad to be able to get good results today.

Q: The two players before you both lost to TheSTC.
Monster: I wasn't worried because there was still DongRaeGu coming up after me. Because he is always after me, it allows me to play comfortably. With DongRaeGu around, I just feel really reassured.

Q: In the three games that you played, which was the hardest?
Monster: The game against Inca was the hardest. The map itself favours Protoss, but I think I got lucky today. I was able to destroy my opponent's forces with banelings and that allowed me to eventually win.

Q: The Protoss kept holding on with high tech units today. What are your thoughts?
Monster: The Protoss did not really apply much pressure, so it was still ok. If the Protoss had applied pressure, I would have been pressured into a bad situation. Because there was no pressure, I was able to expand freely and build my economy.

Q: In your games against oGs in GSTL, you have a 100% win record.
DongRaeGu: I don't know why either. It seems like the oGs players are scared of me and are unable to play to their full abilities when they go up against me. If they play as well as they do during individual leagues, this shouldn't be the case. Maybe they feel the pressure because it's a team league and as a result are unable to play to the best of their abilities.

Q: Your opponent in the last game was a Zerg player.
DongRaeGu: As long as it wasn't a Protoss on that map, I'm quite confident of winning, and so I really hoped that ForGG would be sent out to play. However, my ZvZ records have been pretty good recently, and so the situation was pretty good too.

(T/N: There is a question here that was translated into Chinese but is not in the Korean interview. It seems like the Korean interview might have removed it when the Chinese translators were translating, or maybe it was removed because it was inaccurate. *shrugs*
I'm not going to translate it because it's not in the Korean interview, because it seems like something Gom would want to announce themselves. If you're really that interested to know though, you can PM me. It could be nothing though haha, so don't get too worked up about this thanks.
Dear mods, if this is inappropriate, please let me know.)

Q; Are you confident of making it into the finals?
DongRaeGu: I think our opponents will probably be IM. Our team has really improved a lot nowadays, so I think we have a chance. As long as we can snipe Mvp and Nestea, I believe we can qualify easily.

Q: Any last things to add?
Monster: I am playing in the Code A qualifiers tomorrow. I will show everyone that I can qualify.

DongRaeGu: Well, I don't have any qualifiers to be concerned about (laughs). I want to thank the coaches and the family of the coaches, and my family, my girlfriend, my team mates and my fans. Genius is going through some tough times recently, I want to say to him that we will all wait for him no matter how long it takes. We hope he'd be able to walk out of this shadow soon and come back to us.

Aww no wonder Genius wasn't there, I hope whatever he is going through it's nothing serious and he comes back as strong as he was this season!

Did Genius go into the mountains after losing the GSL final?

Will he return with a TLO-esque beard?

Yeah, I wonder if this is the case too. I initially thought that he just expected to lose and was content with second place (since that was how their practice games went, according to Genius himself), but during the prize ceremony he was looking really shaken.

DongRaeGu: I gave up IEM to prepare for GSTL.


Now that's professionalism. Anyone can talk the talk about how important his team is. DRG truly epitomizes letting his actions speak louder than his words.

Able to allow his whole team to go to vegas is definitely at least worth as much as the prize money in IEM.

As harsh it might sound, this is a blessing in disguise for genius. I don't think progaming is a career that you can put half-assed effort into. Either he gives up completely or he comes back even much stronger.

Everyone hoping Genius is okay.


You kinda just know something's seriously wrong when DRG is actually saying encouraging stuff to Genius instead of poking fun at him.

WTH is wrong with genius? I wana know >.<

Maybe DRG is being overly nice (buying pizza for everyone, skipping IEM for GSTL, etc) because he feels bad for his ceremonies (the last one particularly) at the GSL finals?
