(Z)Jaedong 3 : 0 (Z)by.hero


- After 4 seasons you made it to the finals again
I’m very happy that I can reap the fruits of my efforts. I increased my practice time and I think it paid off. I think I’ll do well in the future, too.

- The total playtime was about 25 minutes
I used a 12 drone hatchery build in the first set and thought if I lose the first set I’ll win 3:1, if I win it’ll be 3:0. Except for the first set I used aggressive builds and was confident that I could finish it quickly.

- Was there a decisive point in the series?
When I won the first set I had a feeling I’d win 3:0. While playing I got the feeling that I was controlling the gameflow, so from the second set on it went like the scenario I prepared. My opponent always played like I expected from the early game build on, so I never thought that I could lose and enjoyed the games.

- Your opponent for the finals is fantasy, how will you prepare?
He entered the finals for two times in a row now, so he’s definitely an opponent that is not to be underestimated. But I have won in proleague against him, so I’m confident. Playing a Terran in the finals, I am hoping for good games. (Translation of that sentence is kinda off I think)

- You have to be aware of fantasy’s mechanic builds
Fantasy showed mechanic builds a lot these days, but I don’t consider them particularly troublesome. Recently Terrans use mechanic builds often, so If I just prepare well there’s no need to worry a lot.

- Do you like the map order?
I like it. I think my coach picked them very well for me (laughs). It’s also good that Medusa is there twice. I think the first set may be the decisive factor for this series.

- You have the chance to win your second OSL
July hyung set the record for three Zerg OSL wins too early, so it’s hard to catch up. But now that I have the chance to win my second OSL I will definitely use it und will also try to set up a new record.

- Was it not difficult to practice because of the winners league finals?
It was not inconvenient at all, I practiced for OSL and winners league about the same amount of time.

- Do you think today’s win will be any help for the winners league finals?
Because it boosted my confidence a lot, I think it will be of big help. I don’t worry much. I worked hard for this match to show that I am unbeatable in ZvZ and want to continue to show this tomorrow.

- One word about your resolution for the finals
Right now I am filled with confidence, but too much confidence can be bad for one, so I try hard to control myself. Recently I’ve won a lot so I’m happy, I will work even harder so my streak doesn’t stop here. I want to make the promise that I will win the finals for sure.

- Any final words?
I did a lot of practice games and want to sincerely thank all Zergs from my team and also from Wemade that helped me practice.


+ Show Spoiler [Original Korean Interview] +

- 4시즌 만에 결승 진출인데
▲ 노력한 대로 결실을 맺어 가는 것 같아서 굉장히 뿌듯하다. 연습량을 늘렸는데 성과가 보이는 것 같다. 앞으로도 더 잘 할 수 있을 것 같다.

- 총 경기 시간이 25분 정도였다
▲ 1세트에 12드론 앞마당이라는 빌드를 썼기 때문에 1세트를 지면 3:1, 이기면 3:0이라고 생각하고 왔다. 1세트를 제외하면 공격적인 빌드였기 때문에 빨리 끝낼 자신 있었다.

- 승부처가 있었다면
▲ 1세트를 이겼을 때 3:0의 느낌이 왔다. 게임 하면서 분위기를 내가 주도하는 느낌을 많이 받아서 2세트부터는 내 시나리오대로 잘 흘러갔다. 상대가 초반 빌드부터 내 예상 범위에 항상 있었기 때문에 진다는 생각은 전혀 없었고 즐길 수 있었다.

- 결승 상대가 정명훈인데 어떻게 준비할 것인지
▲ 연속으로 결승에 진출한 선수이기 때문에 만만치 않은 상대가 될 것 같다. 그래도 프로리그에서 이겼던 경험이 있기 때문에 자신 있다. 결승전에서 테란을 만나서 좋은 경기를 펼치면 의미 있을 것 같다.

- 정명훈의 메카닉을 의식하지 않을 수 없는데
▲ 그 동안 정명훈 선수가 많이 보여줬지만 별로 까다롭다는 생각은 들지 않는다. 요즘 테란들이 메카닉을 자주 하기 때문에 연습만 제대로 하면 특별히 걱정할 것은 없을 것 같다.

- 맵 순서는 마음에 드는지
▲ 마음에 든다. 감독님께서 굉장히 잘 뽑아 주신 것 같다.(웃음) 메두사가 2번 들어간 것도 좋다. 아무래도 1세트가 승부처가 될 것 같다.

- 스타리그 2회 우승에 도전하는데
▲ (박)성준이형이 너무 일찍 저그 3회 우승이라는 대기록을 달성해서 따라 잡기 힘든 것 같다. 그래도 이번에 2회 우승 기회가 온 만큼 꼭 우승해서 나도 그런 대기록에 도전해 보고 싶다.

- 위너스리그 결승 때문에 연습하기 힘들지 않았나
▲ 전혀 지장은 없었고 위너스리그와 스타리그를 비슷한 비율로 연습했다.

- 오늘 승리가 위너스리그 결승에 도움이 될 것 같은지
▲ 자신감이 더욱 상승했기 때문에 굉장히 도움이 많이 될 것 같다. 별로 걱정이 안 된다. 이번 기회에 저그로는 나를 이길 수 없다는 포스를 뿜기 위해 많이 노력했고 내일도 계속 이어가고 싶다.

- 결승전에 임하는 각오 한마디
▲ 지금 자신감이 충만한 상태인데 그런 자신감이 스스로 독이 되지 않도록 마인드 컨트롤을 열심히 하고 있고 요즘 잘 이기는 것 같아서 뿌듯한데 여기서 멈추지 않도록 더 노력하겠다. 이번 결승전에서 꼭 우승하겠다는 약속을 드리고 싶다.

- 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 연습 경기를 굉장히 많이 했는데 연습을 도와 준 위메이드 저그들을 비롯해서 우리 팀 저그들에게 진심으로 고맙다고 전하고 싶다.

Thank you snowbird, and way to go for not littering the title and content with "SPOILER SPOILER!" (come on people, you can figure out not to click on the "[Interview]" links on mornings following big matches).

As for JD...what can he say about this series? He is just so monstrous in ZvZ. Total playtime 25 minutes? LOL

And it's good to see that JD is not going to underestimate Fantasy (unlike many of TL's members...).

Amazing interview, thanks! Jaedong's focus is definitely 110% again, and it's a great thing to see.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

He enjoyed the games, lol
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Since Jon747 hasn't uploaded vids yet. I'd stick with these results knowing that a zerg Jaedong won.
Jaedong has to be a Bonjwa. Tired of of rooting for July.

He's probably close to a 100% win rate during practice ZvZ.
