Hey guys. I am a new member as today (well I can start posting today). I basically joined in hoping to contribute to SC2 community by translating and bringing Korea SC2 community newses (Particulary from PlayXP). I was going to post other interviews but since GSTL is over I feel that this is probably the most highlighted news. Let me know if you want to see an interview with other players, if it is available I will bring it in to English. I will also try to bring VODs those only available in korea with subtitles if it requires high demand (as long as it is ok with GomTV, I've sent an email asking for their permission and still am waiting to hear back from them). Enjoy!
-
Q : How do you feel lifting the trophy up?
Kang : I am very glad. Glad in a different way when Nestea won GSL. I wish there are more team leagues in the future. I hope this GSTL gave young players an opportunity to do well in the future as well
Nestea : This feels bit different from when I won GSL. I am very happy that I could finish well in the final game.
Q : What was your main focus in today's match-ups?
Kang : The main focus was the timing of sending out IMMvp and Nestea. When IMJunwi had lost his first game I was bit worried about the overall picture I planned for but when YougHwa won the second game I was calm again. ST_Squartle's victory against IMMvp was already expected. On Lost Temple I thought ST_Bomber to play so that's when I had to decide between MvP and Nestea. I also knew the fans were eager to see a Zerg player playing which is why I sent out Zerg players as much as possible.
Q : Your Protoss players played really well
Kang : YongHwa practiced on the new maps as soon as they came out.IMSeed was a card to eliminate Song and IMBbiBbi (*Warning: Bad Translation of Username) also has new and different strategies, I hope BbiBbi can show the fans these new strategies sometime soon.
Q : (To Nestea) Your first play was the last game of the match. Were you disappointed that you could not play more games?
Nestea : To be honest, I thought the team could win even without me. I thought about playing against ST_Bomber but MvP really wanted to play against him and MvP was very confident against him so I let him play instead as other players were protoss players.
Q : Overall in this GSTL, new faces showed us some great plays. Why do you think that is?
Kang : Overall the new players were very comfortable and confident playing. I mean even if they lose they knew that players like MvP and Nestea could make up for their losses so they did not get nervous while playing which is the biggest reason I believe.
Q : (To Nestea) As a Zerg player how do you think about the new maps?
Nestea : When I played on these new maps, I have very hard time winning against a protoss. On Xelnaga Cavern chance of winning against a Protoss is about 50/50 I think but Cravase is the hardest map to win against Protoss. Terminus and Tadarim Altar is also very hard. However against Terran I think it is just alright to play on Terminus.
Q : With the GSTL, now your team has a strong line-up for Protoss along with Nestea and MvP. Very balanced team with all races, what is your opinion on this situation?
Kang : I think this is not quite good enough. To be the best team, I think, there should be at least one best player for the each race. If the team rely on one particular player that team cannot be the best team. At the moment, I am training couple of other Terran players I try not to expose them through Gisado or any other tournaments. I think it is not good for the team to expose a player before they are 'completed'
Q : How many players are you training and also do they have a potential to be the top class players?
Kang : I have three players in training. I think one of them could be the top player like MvP.
Q : You are the only team so far that had won both GSL and GSTL. Are you confident about coming up GSL Feb?
Kang : Personally I think the finals are going to be MvP vs Nestea. (laughs) you might say are you not too biased for your team? but really, I think if they don't face with each other before the finals, it is very possible
Nestea : I don't really know about that.. I rely on maps too much (laughs). I chose SanZenith in my group and I am bit worried now (laughs)
Q : Sadly Starcraft 2 teams are not getting as many as sponsorships as they should at the moment, do you think this win will help the team in that way?
Kang : I think it will help alot. We have a GSL winner and we won GSTL which is a promising result. I don't know why corporates miss out on those opportunities. (*compared to SC1)
Q : Any last words?
Nestea : Junwi did not show what he can do. He was amazing against ZvT during practice matches. I hope he cheers up and don't be down by his performance. Coach's wife gave me a new mouse as a present, I think that's why I won today. I will try really hard for coming GSL to win.
Kang : My wife is really great and caring about this whole thing. In the teamhouse she made snacks and stuff to the players and cheered them up. I always thank for your support. I had not told her how thankful I am that many times so yea I appreciate all her support and love. |

Wow, I didn't realize that they expected MVP to lose to Squirtle; do they really think that highly of him, or was it a combination of race or map? Also, thanks for bringing cool posts like this to TL! |

If they expect mvp to lose then Protoss must be really strong with the new maps.
Thanks for the translation. |

Thanks for posting. As expected, large maps help P a lot because they can macro up that huge unkillable force easier. Then again, Squirtle didn't even abuse proxy warping that much so it's not even the warp mechanic. MVP played super well though considering what unit composition he was facing.
I wonder how well Seed/Yonghwa stacks up in individual leagues! Its a shame we won't be seeing them for a while. |

Thanks for the translation.
With bigger maps Terran have hard time finishing P before 12 minutes, and after that not even the best player in the world can do anything about it.
Great translation BTW, greatly appreciated. |

I think that was more a case of them expecting StarTale to snipe MVP with a protoss (which is his weaker match up).
Great interview anyway, thank you for posting =) |

Really good interview! =) Glad to see their opinions on the maps.
Hate to be that guy but,
Nestea : When I played on these new maps, I have very hard time winning against a protoss. On Xelnaga Cavern chance of winning against a Protoss is about 50/50 I think but Cravase is the hardest map to win against Protoss. Terminus and Tadarim Altar is also very hard.

It's Crevasse. |

Yeah what the shit was that. The guy said in the group selection that he hardly practices anymore and that he should go to the military soon anyway. |

| Since Nestea says that the new maps are hard for ZvP - that's why I think he is worried about SanZenith now. X ) |

| Its not that they expected Squirtle to beat MvP. Incredible Miracles knew that Star Tale would have a player that practiced a lot and studied MvP's play style to be ready to play him. Kang knew ST would be prepared for the game genie. :/ |
