Both interviews translated from fighterforum. ^^;;
Reach interview:
Q: This is your second tournament in a row making the semis.
A: Truthfully, I thought it would be difficult this time. To be honest, I thought it would be difficult during Gillette as well.
Q: Recently your games are very strategy-oriented.
A: It's because it's so difficult to win. Because the other players are so skilled, it is difficult to win with just conservative play. So I had no choice but to choose unconventional plays, and they worked well. And recently I spend alot of time thinking. Because I'm not well physically, I instead spend alot of time imagining various scenarios in my mind. This has naturally helped during actual games.
Q: In the semis, and if you make the finals, you will probably meet terrans.
A: Actually, I think I was able to get to the finals during Gillette because there were more terrans than zergs. Of course this doesn't mean that terrans are easy. However, I think they are easier than zergs. The maps aren't so good for zergs in tvz's.
Q: Your preparation?
A: After the Premier League last weekend I had some time so I practiced alot. My practice partners, like Kim Yoon-hwan (Hery[Hyo]) and Kwak Dong-hoon (][Xll_S][DanieL) gave me alot of their time. Also, Cho Byung-ho (Eji) and Kim Jong-min (TheMarine) helped me as if they were in my position. I'm very thankful to them.
Q: Your opponent in the semis will be Choi Yun-sung (iloveoov).
A: Both (NaDa and iloveoov) are difficult opponents (deep sigh). And I don't think the maps are particularly good. However, I'm going to start preparing from a blank slate so I can secure victory in the semis.
----
iloveoov interview:
Q: You've made it to another semifinal.
A: In the last tournament, I remember that I started out so strong but lost so badly in the semis. I've said this already, but I think I've already lost whatever games I'm going to lose for this entire tournament.
Q: You faced off against Lee Youn-yul (NaDa), were you nervous at all?
A: To be honest I thought I was going to lose today's match. I freed myself from any expectations. In particular, since Requiem has so many different factors, I really hate TvT on that map.
Q: Your opponent in the semis, Park Jung-suk (Reach) is very strong against terran.
A: I think it's better than going against another terran. Because I've faced so many terrans recently I don't have any new strategies up my sleeve. At this point I prefer matchups against non-terrans. And I think that my record against Reach to this point is 4-1 or 5-1.
Q: It is possible that you will meet Lim Yo-hwan (Boxer) in the finals.
A: It's what I want to happen. Also, aren't these semis after all a face-off against KTF? So in the end I hope to play a memorable match against my SKT senior and teammate Boxer. In particular, on Bifrost, I have a strategy that you can all look forward to seeing.

Thx man
|
I always wondered why all of pros are so confident that they will win next match. Well they show respect to their oponent, but still say that they 100% win cos they practiced a lot. Like Nada said that he will show how should terr play on Requiem, but still lost to Oov
|
|
OoOo i wanna see that strat :O
|
Boxer vs Reach should be great. I dun like Oov at all T_T
|
Haha oov is so confident (and arrogant): My translation:
Q: You've made it to another semifinal. A: I will not lose a single game for the rest of this tourney
Q: You faced off against Lee Youn-yul (NaDa), were you nervous at all? A: I am a lot better than him, but I hate the Requiem because he could have got lucky on this map
Q: Your opponent in the semis, Park Jung-suk (Reach) is very strong against terran. A: Don't you all know that I have owned Reach like a newbie before?
Q: It is possible that you will meet Lim Yo-hwan (Boxer) in the finals. A: Haha I planned a special strategy on Bifrost, I hope I get the chance to show it off in the finals

Toasted_Zergling, what's your point? it's not even funny.
|
thanx uhjoo for all your hard work.
|
wow really thanks for this translations man, good job
|
|
These quick interviews are really interesting. I'm really hoping for Reach vs Yellow now(Because Reach just seems like a great guy and Yellow is super radical and I want him at least in top 2!)
|
yeah thx good job! iloveoov is so nice.... he's my favourite progamer..

"And I think that my record against Reach to this point is 4-1 or 5-1." e........ I see hard match between Reach and Oov.
|
I don't see what's wrong with oov showing his confidence. He is after all a kind of sports man. At that level of play, other factors aside from purely skill can make the difference between winning and losing.
Take a look at american boxers or sprinters for example. They reek of confidence/arragoance and nobody seems to mind.

Why is everyone jumping on toasted_zergling?
That was actually not bad =] He isn't being serious, I hope you all realize that. Oov just glows with confidence whenever he speaks
Btw, thanks sooo much for translating ^___^
