How do you feel about bringing your team the victory?
I feel good cause I snapped our losing streak. The team's atmosphere was almost about to be altered. I am relieved.
The team was on a losing streak.
I remained cool. I just played like I always do. If we had lost our match today then the atmosphere would have changed. But still, I am relieved that we've maintained our good record.
You secured a lot of wins but you also secured a lot of losses.
I don't think it's that many. Currently, my teammates all have really good records but I never really put thought into my own. All season long, the team winning the championship has been my first priority. As far as I'm concerned, I do really well when the team matters most to me.
Did you expect any difficult games today?
If Stats was only able to grab one game then I knew the match was going to become difficult. Mainly because CJ is such a strong team.
You blocked herO's proxy robotics facility build order.
I 70 - 80% expected that kind of build order to come at me. I shift clicked around the map and I happened to scout the proper area. I had a lot of experience built up so I instinctively built a bunker. As soon as I scouted his strategy, I knew that I was in an advantageous situation.
Any personal goals?
The most wins award is my goal. Because the championship is so desirable, it's inevitable that the team's ace grabs the most wins award. But right now, the player with the most wins keeps changing around so I don't know anything for sure. I think I'll know once round four is over. I am always confident. I declined down a bit after the EG-TL all kill but I think I was able to use today's match as a stepping stone to keep going forward.
It looks like the team is rather weak against Woongjin Stars.
It just doesn't make sense. It's really a mystery. For round three, I want to make sure we snap this losing streak.
Personally, how many matches did you expect to get sent out for?
As expected, I got sent out for about six to seven matches.
There is one final match for round two. So far, have you been satisfied with your performance and the team's performance?
It's not bad. I think it's just kind of there. Once we get to the fourth round, it's important that we maintain our top spot.
HotS will be released very soon.
Honestly, I just don't have any time to play HotS. I'm too occupied with WoL. I was told that we would have time to practice HotS once it gets released but I have to attend MLG so I don't think I'll have that much time to practice. It's true that I'm worried.
Was it disappointing that you fell out of the Up/Downs?
I'm not disappointed. It's because I didn't put a lot of hope into it. There are a lot of SC2 tournaments opening up so I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket right now.
Anything else you would like to say?
I am so relieved that we snapped our three match losing streak. From here on out, we will always win against Woongjin. We're going to face SK Telecom for a second time in a bit but I think we're going to have the advantage.

They make a shit load of money if they win GSL so why not? Plus even if you're in R32, you'll still get some money for it so why the hell not?

Because GSL is supposed to be the highest level of sc2 competition? It should hold the same level of prestige OSL/MSL held in BW days, its supposed to be meaningful.

Hm I wonder if that means MLG is having a wol and hots tournament? The next MLG is going to be hots and yet flash says he can't practice it with MLG being another reason. Interesting indeed.

Yeah this is more what I was getting at. You would figure any serious SC2 player would absolutely want to win a GSL. Maybe we just have to wait for a Kespa player to win for other Kespa players take note...

GSL is just another league with good players. Individual leagues never were the #1 priority of proleague players, they get raises based off their team league contributions for the most part so it makes sense why they would put their focus there. Do well in proleague throughout a season and get a raise/bonuses or play in an individual league where a bad day could knock you out of contention for the prize purse

It should, but it doesn't
PL > everything else SC2-related in Korea

1000$ a month for code S RO32? I can afford 1000$ too, why not Manny Pacquiao take a boxing with me?
KT paid him 400K$ this season for 42 regular matches and playoff. GOMTV paid him nothing so far, why he must play for GOM?

Flash makes 400k?! thought it was more like 100 000.

Flash's last known salary was $200k, not $400k.

100k earners are like effort tier i believe (or were)

I remember seeing flash's base salary around 160k with something near 100k worth of bonuses based on meeting certain goals(pl win #s, team winning championship, etc.)

yea but even in BW PL is more important than OSL/MSL. there used to be a controversy over SKT not allowing their players to participate in both leagues at the same time because it would interfere with PL, and in interviews players are always more concerned about PL.

Last I heard it was Stork 150k JD 180k, Bisu 200k, and Flash 250k (all base) after his ascension to Godhood (when KT renewed the contract). It's in one of the interviews. And in that thread, the performance bonuses would be equivalent to paying Flash 400k because IIRC, he had a chance to surpass Savior's record 500k in a year if he won more than 2 of the individual leagues.
