Hwaseung Oz vs Air Force ACE Set 1 Winner (T)RuBy:
"I want to become a player that helps my team"


[image loading]


- Your team finally won
▲ It should have came earlier, but due to my mistakes we finally won our first match. I think I'm even happier because Darkelf, who joined at the same time I did, finished the match.

- You killed your opponent's Battlecruisers without making your own
▲ The map is really big so it's important to look out for your opponent's weaknesses. I luckly found his weakness early and win. Today I made more workers than normal and couldn't do an agressive play. If I controlled my worker count well I could have switched to Wraiths or Battlecruisers, but I felt like I needed more units, so I struck my opponent's weakness.

- You won your 4th match of the season
▲ If I wasn't greedy and didn't try to do 2 matches in one day I think our team could have won earlier. I needed to prepare more to play twice in one day, but I couldn't.

- You've entered your service at an early age
▲ I thought I was lucky when I was accepted into ACE. I didn't have the experience or the skill. I didn't think I was able to make it in, but since I did, it encouraged me to try even harder.

- Was it difficult practicing?
▲ I'm still learning from the MBCGame Terran players and my teammates, but it's hard because of the different living patterns in the air force

- Your next opponent is (T)sKyHigh
▲ Skyhigh is very arrogant lately (laughs). I think he thinks of himself as the top terran. I want to win against him and break his arrogance.

- Goals for the season
▲ I didn't think I would be able to play so often. I have confidence that I can do well so even though I may not win all of my matches, I will try my best not to lose them.

- Anything else you want to say?
▲ I think that I'm doing poorly as a member of the team. I want to do well but things don't go the way I want them to. I want to become a player that helps me team. Also, today is (Z)YellOw's birthday. Happy birthday.

Hwaseung Oz vs Air Force ACE Set 2 Winner (P)Reach:
"I'm happy that my team broke the losing streak"


[image loading]


- How do you feel about breaking the losing streak
▲ I'm happy that our team broke its losing streak. We had so many disappointing matches. We went to the ace match 4 times, and we lost three of them. I was sad that we lost games that I thought we were going to win, and I was worried that our team would fall into despair. I thought today's match was going to end badly when Darkelf lost his Science Vessel, but he won. I think we need to continue this momentum.

- You also broke your losing streak
▲ I started last season with a 3 loss losing streak and I lost two matches this season. I hate losing matches without being able to do anything so I thought to myself that I wouldn't lose so easily today. It was dangerous after I got pushed but I think it helped that I felt comfortable about the match. Last time I had a losing streak, I was able to break it because I played the match against Stork comfortably. My game changes a lot depending on how I'm feeling, and I keep forgetting that when I play. I'm going to play comfortably now thinking that my skill levels has dropped to the bottom. That doesn't mean I'll definitely win, but I will try to play my matches comfortably.

- You lost your natural Nexus
▲ If it was any other day, I would have thought I lost already, but I thought I had to play to the end today. That's why I made a Shuttle and went to harass, and I got lucky.

- You used Psionic Storms very well
▲ I concentrated only on the game, that's why I got lucky. Nowadays, my opponents control their units so well so it's difficult to Storm very well. I think I was able to Storm well because (P)BackHo panicked after getting harassed.

- It was your 103rd Proleague win
▲ Like I said before my game play changes a lot depending on how I'm feeling. It's the same with the record. I lost after thinking about that record a lot. Before my 100th win I lost a lot because I kept thinking about it. I try to not worry about such things and concentrate on the game.

- Your next opponent is CJ
▲ I think my teammates are having less games where they lose without being able to do anything. I think we have a chance against any teams seeing how many times we're playing the ace match. Although we don't have a player that can definitely win an ace match, I think we will be able to win against any team if we just improve on that part.

- Goals for the season?
▲ People will think "Is that possible?" when they hear it but my goal is 30 wins, and my team's goal is to reach the post season. I think my goal isn't too high or low. It's not fun playing without a goal so I will try my best to reach my goal.

- Anything else you want to say?
▲ I want to thank Jangbi, Violet, Tempest, and Stats for helping me practice. It's hard to practice with players from the other teams lately. They helped our team a lot in the past but I think they're starting to be wary of us. I also wan to thank my fans. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to show good play, and I will try my best to show confidence in my games even if I lose.

Hwaseung Oz vs Air Force ACE Set 5 Winner (T)DarkElf:
"I want to play and win more frequently"


[image loading]


- Your team got its first win
▲ We broke losing streak and got our first win for the 09-10 season. I'm even happier because I was able to celebrate Yellow's brithday and (P)Much hyung entering the Air Force.

- You defended well then won with a strong attack
▲ I prepared a defensive strategy, but I had a hard time practicing because Zerg players are very good with controlling Mutalisks. That's why I played offensively, but it didn't go too well and I was forced to stick with what I practiced.

- You lost your Science Vessel
▲ I had that problem since I was in CJ, but I will try my best to overcome it. While I was in CJ, Xellos, Memory, and I had a hard time keeping our Vessels alive.

- You got your second win of the season
▲ It's only the second win. I'm content with our team winning, and I want to appear and win more frequently from now.

- Did you know you were going to play the ace match
▲ My teammates and coach trusted me. It was decided that I would play the ace match, but it took a long time to prepare. It was decided even before the entry was revealed last Thursday.

- Your next opponent is (Z)EffOrt on Heartbreak Ridge again
▲ I think it will help me practice because it's on the same map. I lack basics right now, so I will take this chance to improve upon them. I practiced a lot with Effort when I was in CJ but I think he's a lot better now. He was a snake back then, but now he's a hawk (laughs). I will keep up with my teammates expectations and play a good game.

- How is Ruby?
▲ I didn't think he would help me so much. It helped me a lot playing with him. I learned what it means to be a good friend in the military after living with him.

- Much finally joined the Air Force
▲ I didn't think people would be so interested(laughs). I never really thought about it. I was going to do a high kick ceremony today but I wasn't able to. I will show it if I get another chance.

- Goals for the season
▲ I want to show people that ACE is not an easy team to beat. I want to become the main character of ACE, but I will be content just being a side character for now. I still have time, so I can become the main character next season.

- Anything else you want to say?
▲ I want to congratulate Yellow on his birthday. Also our coach was having a hard time because of the consecutive losses. He only has a little time before he finishes his sevice so I will try my best to win as many matches for him.

Air Force ACE Coach Yoo Sung Yeol:
"I think I'll have to get used to winning now"


[image loading]


- Your team got its first win and broke the losing streak
▲ I'm used to losing now but I think I'll have to get used to winning.

- Your team continuously lost in the ace match
▲ I was very disappointed but I didn't show it in front of the players. We could have won if we just took one more step, but we couldn't. I was very confident about this season with a good lineup but I was sad we started off on the wrong step.

- It went to the ace match after leading 2-0
▲ I thought it would end 3-0 because (T)Casy is good at TvZ. I think Yellow got nervous after Casy lost.

- You seem to be using a variety of players
▲ We have more players than before. I'm happy that I'm able to pick the entry and prepare for the matches. Since I'm this happy choosing between 9 players, I wonder how good it must be for the other teams' coaches (laughs).

- Your team seems to have a lot of potential
▲ I tell that to the players a lot. We're doing much better than we did in 08-09, and I think we're a good team. We have a lot of potential this season, but we couldn't get a momentum going after losing so many ace matches. The other teams are using their best players against us. I hope they go easy on us (laughs). The other teams' coaches help me a lot.

- You're finishing your service at the end of December. Are you disappointed?
▲ When I first joined ACE I thought we would get to the post season in the first season then win the next season. I wanted to write an amazing scenario but the first thing I heard after I joined was the talk of disbanding, and we had a hard time getting players for our team. We avoided the last place in the first season, but we had a very rough second season, and we finally formed a good team this season. We finally have a good team, but now I must leave them soon. I want to stay longer and be their coach but I have personal problems preventing me from doing that. I want to try my best for the rest of the time I have with my team and set up a system so the players can play their best even when I'm not there.

- Anything else you want to say?
▲ Yellow practices a lot, but he lost on his birthday. I think (Z)Jaedong and Yellow may someday in each others' spots so I hope Yellow does not forget that and tries his best. Hapy birthday.

Thanks a lot.

I used to dislike Darkelf for being a lame Terran with a shitty aka and looking a dork but now i'm a fan.
Short hairs + member of Ace + awesome winning game in the ace match = win.

wow ruby
i can't believe it

i used to love darkelf when he was raping on cj, but he somehow just disappeared
i'm glad he finally came back into his own, although it's strange that it happened when he was on ace.
Today I found out her real name. No, I didn't ask her myself; when the class was doing a group assignment I walked to her desk and found her last name on a paper.

It's true, (T)RuBy is a bad teammate. That's because HE IS THE TEAM.
Keep plugging along ACE!

Yea~ Skyhigh has been getting really cocky lately. Glad that ruby beat him.
Stork's diet is making him boney.

God, Ruby! I never heard of him till now and he became a monster after joining ACE!

+ Show Spoiler +


I have always wondered what ACE's coach is like. Of all team coaches, he is always the one working with the least amount of personal experience with progaming management, the least amount of practice time, the least amount support and the least number of players. I doubt that the military is happy that their team is losing all the time, instead of gaining good reputation for the airforce. Glad to see that he is a pretty good guy who seems to sincerely care about ACE.


To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't worry too much about ACE's future. Jaedong, and Bisu will end up there...eventually... I do believe that Bisu already got his draft letter sometime ago.

Lastly but not least, happy birthday Yellow!

Yeah. As time passes, I think players in their mid-twenties will find ways stay competitive.

I predict, starting two years from now, ACE will make the playoffs every season (never win though).

Well that is if Bisu/Jeadong will never slump until their retirement and SC still being popular in 5-6 years after SC2 is out. Chance is quite small IMO

aghhh ACE needs more players in their roster, its not just about big strong ace players, its about the depth the team can provide and large array of practice partners. I hope the military understands that eventually and open up at least 17 slots for their team roster.

Also what Ruby is doing is quite smart, I hope more young strong players like him go and join ACE, instead of old washed up veterans..

How is that smart? going to ACE makes you give up any chance of winning a individual league. Very few people are willing to give that up and most decide to join the Army after their prime when individual titles are beyond reach already.

Haha, more progamers hating against Skyhigh
I'm so glad that Ace has a good line-up now. Ever since the end of last season, I've been LB'ing them more and more often because I believe in them, and they do impress.

He was hardly being used in MBC's lineup; joining ACE gives him the chance to play more live matches than ever before with even less pressure to win.

Ruby is respectable.
Don't tell your problems to people: 80% don't care; and the other 20% are glad you have them.
