A few things I got translated, hopefully I don't miss anything. SUPER PROPS TO SUPERJONGMAN FOR THIS

First, they talked to Rock. They asked him about his history with July, and Rock said he doesn't want July to pick him. He said he didn't want any of that round of 16 nonsense, that he wanted to settle things in a series like a man.

They said to July, "all the terrans want you!". In particular, they talked about Sea, and July said "yeah, I'd play him, but the group stage isn't the proper setting for a match against Yum BoSung". Something to that effect, anyway.

Sea said he loses in the round of 16 a lot. He said, "I know people want grand words, but I don't really want to build up hype. I've lost so many times, if I fail again I'll have a mountain to climb (meant like he'd have to train his balls off)". Then they asked him about his mom and he said he'd love to have his mom be able to watch him on an outdoor stage (round of 8 and on, apparently).

Best's interview was pretty bland, he said he wants Flash and Sea in his group because he wants to advance to smash July later on (lol). Afterwards, July said that Best is a good player, and it's possible that he'd lose to Best, "I mean I think he can stop 5pool.. well, he did. But he couldn't stop anything afterwards." July basically said that Best played like ass in the final, but also said he wouldn't mind if Best went 0-3 in the group stage so he wouldn't have to face him again. Joking manner, of course.

Flash spent a lot of time talking about the environment in KTF, how happy he is there and the great expectations he has for the team in the future. Very bland interview, but he said he wants July to pick him. July wasn't pleased because now if he dodges he looks like he's scared of terran

GGplay's interview was very run of the mill as well, he just said that he's played really shitty since he won his OSL, and that he is making a serious effort to return to form etc etc.

Much's interview was largely more of the same, I want to show my best and so on. However, he talked about his pylon heart against FireBatHero. "You know, if I did that against any other player, I'd probably catch a lot of shit. But that didn't happen when I did it to him." Then he says that if he loses to FireBatHero he can probably expect a ceremony in return, "but I don't see that happening."

Midas said that he will find a way to win every game, be it a fast victory or a slow victory. He wants to win back-to-back OSLs, starting with this one.

The commentators asked Fantasy what he thought about the timing of his entry into OSL in relation to his career, and he only really said "I guess it'd be bad if it was earlier.. and I guess it'd be bad if it was later."

TheZerg gave props to July, and said that every MBC Hero zerg models their play after his aggressive style. He said that 2v2 is way harder than 1v1 because of the variance in chemistry with different partners. He said he's very focused on the Royal Road, he wants to walk that shit so bad

After that there wasn't really anything interesting. The rest of the interviews apparently didn't have anything worth mentioning.

LOL.
Thezerg said he likes ZvT, but he feels best about ZvT despite the strong terran line up.
So he picks.... Midas.

Midas says he loves it, he loves it a lot.
He has a lot of new things for TvZ with timing (probably cuz of maps) and he's confident in ZvT. The other guy in his group being Luxury, who's sucker brother got slain by our baby bear.
Obv, he's MIDAS, THE KING... of choke.

AHAHHAHAHAHA.
ROCK IS STUCK WITH GGPLAY!!!!
He is so pissed.

GGplay wanted a P, and cuz last season he lost so stupidly to Rock, he wants blood again.

Rock is talking about how he got raped lately (vZ), but his victory game vs GGplay was complete, and he wants another one. Lame stuff.
