Air Force ACE's Coach Yoo Sung Yeul - "If we can adjust to the new maps well, we can win at least half of our matches."
[Fomos = Reporter Shim Hyeon] As the opening day draws nearer, more worries build up...

[image loading]


"We will definitely be different from Round 4 onwards."

Air Force ACE's coach Yoo Sung Yeol said that his team is currently in great shape, but as the opening day draws closer, he is getting more worried. After going through intra-ranking competition within our 7-player team, he realised that there will be many difficulties. However, he added that everyone is very determined and is practicing hard, and the team's atmosphere is currently very positive, possibly the best since the creation of the team.

Their aim is to "display a soldiers' strong will and mindset, and by sending out carefully chosen players for Round 4, hope to show a new, different image of the ACE team". The coach also revealed that "if (they) can adjust to the new maps well, they will be able to win at least half of their games."

The following is the interview with Coach Yoo.

- With the opening day coming up, what is the team's current mood and atmosphere?
▲ Our team is doing great, but with the opening day coming out, we're getting slightly worried. After going through intra-ranking competition within our 7-player team, we realised that there will be many difficulties. But everyone is very determined and is practicing hard, and the team's atmosphere is currently very positive, possibly the best since the creation of the team.

- We are greatly looking forward to the day (Z)GoRush and (T)XellOs will play.
▲ It will be slightly difficult for GoRush to make an appearance in the first week, but it might be possible in week two. Xellos is currently undergoing military training, so it'll be impossible for him to join us in this month, and I think he will be able to join us somewhere in the middle of May.

- Your team is comprised of players who performed exceptionally well in the past.
▲ It feels like a brand new start for them, who joins us after undergoing the military training. That makes them feel the same when they first made their debut, and that is giving them a lot of confidence and motivation, and the new recruits are practicing really hard. Especially (Z)YellOw. Anytime had said that "it was his 'first time he had seen someone practice even harder than Jaedong." That is how much hope we have pinned on the new recruits, and they are contributing positively to improving the team's mood.

- If you had to point out any weak match ups or weaknesses...
▲ I wonder if it is the 'soldiers' will and mindset'. But it is something that cannot be helped. The lack of players is a very serious issue. We have so little members that it is difficult for us to practice with each other. I think that that is something that we cannot make up for, no matter how prepared we are, or how much effort we put in. I think that when you compare our team with the other Pro-gaming teams, that is something we lack in - hence our weakness.

- Any special player you have high expectations for Round 4?
▲ (P)Anytime is already performing well, and so is (P)Reach. Together with Reach, the most hopeful player is of course, YellOw. First of all, his game sense is amazing, and has been practicing the hardest in the team, and once he gets adjusted to playing on the stage, I believe that he will perform even better than before. Also, his fellow teammates have been praising him a lot.

- Any anticipations to the upcoming Round 4?
▲ After becoming the team's coach, I feel that I have now set the foundations well enough to display our true capabilities. I want to display the soldiers' strong will and mindset, and by sending out carefully chosen players for Round 4, I hope to show a new, different image of the ACE team.

- Any specific targets?
▲ We lost a lot in Round 1 and 2, and even though we might have been all-killed in the Winner's League, we did not lose 0:4, not even once. From Round 4 onwards, it will be totally different. As long as we get adjusted to the new maps well, we will definitely be able to win at least half of our matches.

- Any words for your fans?
▲ I am grateful for all the fans who have been supporting us. We will try our best to win many games and hold fan meetings. Your support is our greatest strength. We look forward to your unwavering support and encouragement.

공군 유성열 감독, “신 맵 적응만 잘해준다면 5할 이상”
2009년 04월 10일 10시 21분

[포모스=심현 기자]시즌 개막을 앞두고 있으니 걱정이 앞선다

“4라운드부터는 확실히 달라질 것이다”

[image loading]


공군 에이스 유성열 감독은 “팀 분위기는 굉장히 좋지만 시즌 개막을 앞두고 있으니 걱정이 앞선다. 팀원이 7명인 상황에서 준비하고 랭킹전을 치르다 보니 어려움이 크다”고 말한 뒤 “하지만 팀원들 모두 하고자 하는 의욕이 넘치고 굉장히 열심히 준비하고 있기 때문에 팀 분위기는 창단 이후 최고라고 할 수 있을 정도”라고 팀 분위기를 전했다.

이어 4라운드 목표에 대해서는 “4라운드부터는 정예 멤버를 구축해서 경기에 출전한다고 생각하고 있고, 강인한 군인 정신과 의욕을 바탕으로 기존의 공군 에이스와는 달라진 모습을 선보이고 싶다”고 말한 뒤 “신 맵 적응만 잘해준다면 5할 이상을 노릴 수 있을 것 같다”는 각오를 밝혔다.

다음은 유성열 감독과의 일문일답

- 4라운드 개막을 앞두고 있는 현재 팀 분위기는 어떤지
▲ 팀 분위기는 굉장히 좋지만 시즌 개막을 앞두고 있으니 걱정이 앞선다. 팀원이 7명인 상황에서 준비하고 랭킹전을 치르다 보니 어려움이 크다. 하지만 팀원들 모두 하고자 하는 의욕이 넘치고 굉장히 열심히 준비하고 있기 때문에 팀 분위기는 창단 이후 최고라고 할 수 있을 정도다.

- 박태민과 서지훈의 출전 여부가 기다려지는데
▲ 우선 박태민의 출전 여부는 1주차에는 조금 힘들지 모르겠지만 2주차부터는 모습을 선보일 수 있을 것 같다. 서지훈은 한창 훈련중이라 4월 중에는 합류가 불가능하고 빨라야 5월 중순에 합류할 수 있을 것 같다.

- 팀원들은 과거 화려한 경력을 가진 쟁쟁한 선수들인데
▲ 군대에 입대해서 훈련소 생활을 거치고 생활하면서 초심으로 돌아간 것 같다. 그러다 보니 마치 데뷔 초기에 활동하는 것처럼 의욕도 넘치고, 신병들이 굉장히 열심히 노력하고 있다. 특히 홍진호는 엄청나게 연습하고 있다. 오영종의 말에 따르면 ‘입대 전에 연습하던 이제동보다 더 열심히 하는 선수는 처음 봤다’고 하더라. 그만큼 신병들에게 거는 기대도 크고 팀 분위기에 미치는 영향이 크다.

- 공군 에이스 팀 전력의 강점과 약점을 꼽는다면
▲ 군인 정신과 의욕이 아닐까 생각한다. 하지만 군인 정신이 강하고 의욕이 넘치지만 어쩔 수 없는 부분이 있다. 너무 얇은 선수층이 심각하다. 연습 상대도 부족할 정도로 선수가 너무 적어서 힘들다. 최선을 다해서 준비하고 노력해도 극복할 수 없는 한계가 아닌가 생각한다. 그런 점이 아무래도 기존의 프로게임단과 비교했을 때 공군 에이스가 가지는 가장 큰 약점이라고 생각한다.

- 4라운드에서 특히 기대하는 선수가 있다면
▲ 우선은 기존에 잘했던 오영종, 박정석 같은 경우는 계속 기대가 되고 특히 4라운드 개막과 함께 기대가 되는 선수는 단연 홍진호다. 일단 게임적인 센스가 굉장히 뛰어나고 팀 내에서도 연습량을 가장 많이 소화하고 있기 때문에 앞으로 방송경기에서 필요한 경기감각만 살린다면 예전의 홍진호보다 훨씬 나아진 모습을 선보일 것이라고 확신한다. 그리고 함께 연습하고 생활하는 팀원들도 홍진호의 칭찬을 많이 한다.

- 4라운드에 임하는 각오가 있다면
▲ 감독에 부임한 이후 이제는 어느 정도 팀의 체계를 갖추고 전력을 많이 향상 시킬 수 있는 초석은 다졌다고 생각한다. 이제 4라운드부터는 정예 멤버를 구축해서 경기에 출전한다고 생각하고 있고, 강인한 군인 정신과 의욕을 바탕으로 기존의 공군 에이스와는 달라진 모습을 선보이고 싶다.

- 구체적인 목표는 어느 정도의 성적인지
▲ 1, 2라운드에는 영패가 많았지만 위너스 리그에서는 올킬을 당하더라도 0:4로 패한 적은 한번도 없다. 4라운드부터는 확실히 달라질 것이다. 신 맵 적응만 잘해준다면 5할 이상을 노릴 수 있을 것 같다.

- 팬들에게 한마디
▲ 항상 응원해주시는 팬 여러분들께 감사 드린다. 4라운드부터는 많이 승리해서 팬 미팅도 자주 할 수 있도록 노력하겠다. 공군 에이스는 언제나 팬 여러분들의 응원이 큰 힘이 된다. 앞으로도 변함없는 성원과 격려 부탁 드린다.

We lost a lot in Round 1 and 2, and even though we might have been all-killed in the Winner's League, we did not lose 0:4, not even once.

Wow, alot of positive remarks about YellOw's potential.

Also surprised at the fact that they-apparently-are one of the teams who didn't get "all-killed" in the Winner's League.

They did, just that not in a horrible 0:4 way.

I mean I guess they'll probably do better than they have been, but they need more members badly and these guys just can't compete with the newer players

But the problem is, the newer players' average age is getting younger and younger, so this 'generation gap' will continue to increase.

It sounds like they need practice partners more than anything. Being stuck having to practice with the same seven people can be tough, especially if one of their team members are busy. You hear that players from other teams help out each other for the star leagues, something that ACE players can't take advantage of being in the army. That said I think ACE can go really far this round, they certainly have proven players.

Thanks for the translation, konadora!

As for ACE... they just go on iccup, don't they? I mean, that's better than constantly playing against the same people I suppose...

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing ACE this round... GO ROKAF!

Casy was good in the winner's league format when you could put him up against a zerg. In the proleague it'll be harder to get him up against a zerg.
