SK Telecom T1 Bisu "I'm focusing on my Starcraft 2 practice"
SK Telecom T1's Bisu defeated STX's Last in set 2 of the BW portion of Proleague, putting him at 2-0 for SC1 this season. Bisu raced to establish a rich, 3-base economy, allowing his army supply to explode, and from there, he crushed Last with arbiter recalls to bring the game to victory.
Q: Thoughts on winning. A: Lately I haven't gotten sent out in games very much, so it's been a while since I won. Because of that, I'm really happy.
Q: Evaluate your game today. A: I started off with a decent economic lead and managed to confirm that he was building a command center by sneaking a zealot in the backdoor. When I saw him adding on factories, I built my own round of gates and held off his push easily with reavers and ground army. Overall, I think the game went pretty well.
Q: You only have wins in BW. A: I have a lot of confidence playing BW, but I'm weak at SC2. I don't know what else to say. On its own, my SC2 performance has been disappointing. It's embarrassing, and I'm really sorry to my fans... I tried to play well but it didn't turn out that way.
Q: But we saw your potential at the MLG invitational. A: I don't think I played that well. The games just weren't satisfactory. So I've been focusing more on SC2 during practice these days. If I do, I hope my skills will gradually improve.
Q: Out of TBLS, you're the only one who still doesn't have a SC2 win in proleague. [man, these questions are rough ;_;] A: It really is a burden. But what am I supposed to do (laugh). I just want to let time solve my problem. I mean, won't I get a win at some point or another? I think that in the future, I can be just as good as any GSL player. If everyone could just give some more time, that would be nice.
Q: Why do you think you don't do well in SC2? A: I think that the most important thing to do is to just play the game a lot. When I played BW, I'd have to play many games to build up the confidence needed to win. Right now I just haven't been able to play a lot of SC2. Even though the game came out 2 years ago, to me it's as if it's a brand new game. Adapting has been hard, and I just don't have enough practice time for it.
Q: What about your teammates? A: My teammates have been developing their SC2 skills rapidly, and I think they have a real talent for it. If you compare me to the rest of the Protosses on SKT, I'm definitely lacking. What I need to succeed is time and practice.
Q: How was America? A: It was great. At first I was thinking we should just enjoy ourselves, but once we actually got there, there were so many people who liked us, it made me happy. For our fansigning, the line was so long that you couldn't even see the end. I felt like in order to live up to these fans' expectations, I'd have to make sure to never lose a game again. I ended up getting second in the invitational, but I think the most valuable experience was just being able to stand on such a huge stage. I regained the will to work harder and improve. Also I want to study English more (laugh).
Q: Round 1 of Season 2 is already ending. A: In the future, I'll have to focus more on practicing SC2. But even while doing SC2, it seems I'll still play BW. On one hand, playing BW is truly comfortable. But it's also something that I'll have to let go of soon.
Q: What do you think about this season's transition from BW to SC2? A: At first I didn't get it, but after doing it, I understand now. To be honest, the process has been really difficult and troublesome. But because we are progamers, we just have to endure it.
Q: The competition for the new SC2 OSL will be fierce. A: We barely have any time to prepare with such tight schedules, but I think it'll be fun. I really have to get through the qualifiers this time (laugh).
Wasn't really sure where to put this. On one hand, he played and won in BW. On the other hand, 90% of questions are about SC2, so... If a mod feels like SC2 forum is more appropriate, feel free to move.
That said, I just realized this is the first Bisu interview I've ever translated. People always snipe them before I get to them D;

thanks for the translation and enjoy your birthday to the greatest! even though it's sc2 i hope he can find confidence there too and maybe it's finally time for an OSL ...
Q: Last Words. A: I'd like to thank Ssak for helping me practice. Also it's Kiett's birthday today, so I hope she has a nice day. I tried to ask her out at MLG, but I was too shy to talk to her. Back off Stork! [laughs]
Why didn't you include this? :O
Thinking outside the box, I wonder what's in the box

although the questions were rough, i'm glad they didn't ask about how the fans in america compare with fans in korea..... and i'm glad that bisu seems optomistic....
thanks kiett!!!
So much on my mind that I can't recline, blastin' holes in the night 'til she bled sunshine
I can't fault some skt players for sucking at sc2, they won the previous season + had the hawaii holiday afterall, while other teams stayed in korea, and practiced.
KeSpa interviewers are such douches. It as if they completely ignored BW sets and just want to impose StarCractToo on the man. They are basically saying "Hey why aren't you as good as SCToo? You should really begin practicing that game y'know."
Let the man enjoy his BW!

this comment just makes me sad and angry, for him to have to give up his passion to continue to make a living. this transition just gets uglier and uglier for bw fans and players alike.
MC has done well in leading the Protoss charge these past two years. It is time for the leader of the Toss revolution to take his rightful place as the champion of Aiur.
GSL, OSL, Dreamhack, MLG, even PL and GSTL. Bisu will own them all.

Thanks for the interview Kiett! Bisu played well in the invitational and I hope it translates well in Korea Sc2. I wish I was there to meet all the Kespa players! <3 JD
Oh, anyways heres an interview of a few of them at MLG (not Bisu or Flash probably practicing hard for their finals match! :D). Pay attention to how they were so confused on how to hold the microphone hahaha I love them
