Thoughts on a 3-game winning streak.
-In today’s win, the game was already decided before the Carriers, so the Carriers weren’t that important. I had wanted to used the Carriers for the atmosphere of an exciting win, but unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to.
You seemed very relaxed in the game.
-We both scouted late, so my opening would be better. I felt if I don’t make a mistake, I could win. I was pretty lucky.
Your momentum’s returning the R5.
-We still need a lot of wins, but there are a lot of games left in R5, and there’s the playoffs. Our goal is to win the grand championship, we need to get there first. We feel like we don’t need to rush. We also can’t fixate on this season, we need to consider next season too.
We’re reminded of your game against really on Katrina.
-I often meet Really. The first time we met I lost. That game impacted me a lot [laugh] So I always have a thought to play against Really. Even though I won because of good luck today, the opponent’s choices were good too. This game makes me think he’s a good opponent.
How’s Bisu recently?
-Bisu’s just as good as before [T/N: lol?] He’s practicing hard, and his results in practice are increasing. Soon you can see his good performance. I’m very excited for it. He should make a perfect comeback, we have a lot of things to learn from him.
Your next opponent is Ace.
-We can’t let our guard down just because it’s Ace. We saw that they defeated KT. Ace’s strategies are better than we thought. Ace is definitely not a team to ignore. We think their players are good, so we can’t let our guard down. We should have a good result.
The OSL Prelims are beginning soon.
-I’m currently preparing for it. Prelims are full of variables, no one can predict the results. I’ve been stuck in the Prelims for a year, this time I’ll definitely advance. I saw the Korean Air OSL finals, and I’m very jealous. If I advance, I’ll definitely show everyone my style.
Last words?
-Preparations were hard. The Protosses help me a lot. Coach Bul_T pointed out my weaknesses, and gave me a lot of suggestions. I can’t even trust my own strategies, but the coach trusted me. I also want to thank Mong, yeongjae, and Canata-hyung.

Thoughts on winning?
-We won again with a 3-0, it’s very magical. I’m happy. I hope we can focus until the last moment.
You met Action.
-I remember the hilarious game in R4 on Judgment Day [T/N: FFFU Terran imba] Recently I’ve been doing better and better, so I’m reminded of that game. I keep working hard to play calmly and steadily. Even after killing the expo I couldn’t let my guard down.
Why did you Bunker rush?
-Bunker Rush isn’t an all-in [T/N: so imba] and it’s not macro, it’s a very tepid strategy. Under such a strategy, all Action considered was defending it, so he lost. Also, my micro was good today. I’m very satisfied.
Did you want to user the Bunker rush to end it?
-Yes. I feel like I could hurt him a lot, so I made the decision. Also, I often see my predecessors use Bunker rushes [T/N: I was so tempted to just stop translating right here], so I was confident.
You seem to meet Action a lot.
-We played in R3, R4, and R5. Action’s a very good player, but he doesn’t perform well when he meets me. I feel it’s very interesting. I hope I can play interesting games with Action.
There was only one Marine in the Bunker.
-Usually only with 2 is it safe, but I only got 1 in, so I didn’t feel good. But the SCV control was good. Looking back, a lot of it was very on the fence, both sides were perched precariously.
Your next opponent is Ace.
-With our current momentum, we hope to create a miracle. We really want to win against Ace. There’s a World Cup game that day, we hope to win and then happily watch Korea play Greece.
Do you like soccer/football?
-I even watched all the warm-up games. I really like football. I’m very excited for this World Cup. Personally, I think we’ll win 1-0 against Greece, but I’m not a professional, so it’s hard to predict.
Last words?
-Us three (Best, fantasy, s2) were practice partners together. Winning together makes me happier than anything. We always say we need to win together, but it’s only the second time. I hope we can keep winning.
S2
You’re on a 5-game winning streak.
-I feel like I went from Hell to Heaven. The 5-loss was Hell, and now it’s Heaven. Our team’s in a winning streak, and I can win together. This makes me happier than anything.
In your 5-loss streak, you often met powerful opponents.
-Back then, I would wish to just get 1 win, but I also meet ace-level players. I feel like I need to beat these people in SPL, so I didn’t feel nervous.
Is 5-wins your longest streak?
-I don’t think I’ve been playing especially well, just good luck. I don’t know if my abilities have improved [laugh]
It feels like you won with ease.
-Because I’m in a winning streak, I think that’s why it feels like that. After all I’m confident, so I can play while relaxed. From practice, I’ve grown a lot of confidence.
You used your Zerlings well.
-I massed Zerglings then morphed Lair. My opponent probably knew, so he made a Sunken. In order to have an advantage, I made Drones, and tried to get an advantage. With the first Mutalisks I’d have an advantage. I wanted to use my gas advantage to end it.
A lot of people say SKT’s success is now due to the Zergs.
-Speaking of it, we’re undefeated in R5. Starting from the end of R4, we’ve been playing well. Hyuk-hyung did a lot. After the new coach came our Zerg situation improved a lot. He’s continuously given us confidence, and when we’re doing poorly, courage.
You don’t think you have a big role?
-I guess I contributed too [laugh] I feel it’s because Hyuk-hyung does well, so Soo and I play better too. In reality it’s just cause of Hyuk-hyung. We’re learning a lot from him. It’s a cooperative effect.
Your next opponent is Ace.
-We need to win the next game too, and then hope Korea can win in the World Cup. I hope it’s a good day.
Last words?
-It’s the second time today’s trio won. We were practice partners together [laugh] I hope we can win together like this in the future too. I want to thank all the teammates, the head coach who sent me out, and the assistant coaches.
