Sorry that I'll only be doing the translations for these two players.

Q: How's your body condition now?
A: Before the games, I thought that it wasn't very good. I noticed many minor mistakes in my play today. I think my health problems might be a bit more serious than I imagined (laughs).
Q: You were very lethargic in game 1. Is fatigue the problem?
A: I played too poorly. My opponent played well too, but it was my problem too. But I think it was mainly that I played too poorly.
Q: You used a risky strategy in game 2, building 3 bunkers. Did you have any backup plan if it had failed?
A: I did not think of playing in such an extreme manner. My plan was to transition into a standard game after opening like that, but I realised that my opponent was not defending as well as I thought he could have. I like these types of strategies, where I apply heavy pressure at the start before transitioning into a standard game. Perhaps my opponent did not expect me to use such a strategy.
Q: Your performance seemed to improve in game 3.
A: To be honest, there were still many mistakes. But at that time, I thought that I would win if I just attacked. I chose to believe my feelings.
Q: When you lost to GuMiho in the round of 16, you said you wanted to concentrate on getting your wrist treated.
A: My wrist condition still hasn't improved. I'm still unable to exert force with my wrists. It seems like the doctors do not have sufficient information and knowledge about such a condition. I need to find a doctor who is more professional and specialised, but I still haven't managed to find one yet, so I have to put up with it for now.
Starcraft 1 players who have received treatment or are receiving treatment generally suffer pains in their wrists, whereas for me, I am unable to exert force with my wrist. These are different symptoms, so it's really hard for me to get any useful advice.
Q: You didn't do well in MLG this time. On the whole, IM players did quite poorly.
A: Not getting good results in MLG was kind of expected because it was during the rest period. I originally thought of skipping MLG to continue resting in Korea, but I chose to go because I had to be responsible to the team.
I did not harbour much hopes of getting good results, and was contented to just be in touch with the feel of playing in a big tournament.
Q: The schedule for domestic tournaments is going to be quite busy. Will your health issues affect your upcoming tournaments?
A: It will pose some difficulties, but we really do want to win GSTL. I will do my best in the loser's game.
Q: Mvp being in a slump led to a GSL finals without a Terran (laughs)
A: The Protosses and Zergs nowadays are much stronger than they used to be. Nowadays, everyone, regardless of race, are all really strong. In the future, I think that there will be more finals without a Terran in them. I personally hope that DongRaeGu will win in this upcoming finals.
Q: Any last things to add?
A: Nestea hyung is playing in Code A on Thursday. I hope he makes it back into Code S. I also hope the players playing in MLG today will win their games (laughs). I also hope our coaches will continue working hard. I reached the airport very early this morning. I want to thank my team mates and coach for picking me up.

Q: Your game was the last to be played today. Was it very tiring? How was your condition before the games?
A: I arrived in the country this morning, so I'm really very tired now. But I was not as worried about being tired as I was about not having prepared well for today's games. However, the games played today was my favourite matchup, PvP, so it wasn't too much of a problem.
Q: Your opponent was a relatively new player, and it was a PvP. Was it less stressful for you?
A: When it comes to PvP, I feel comfortable playing regardless of who the opponent is. I like the mirror matchup, and have a pretty good win-rate. I was really happy, not because my opponent was a relatively new player, but because he was a Protoss player.
Q: The players who just came back from MLG and played in today's games did not seem to be in very good condition.
A: It was like that for Mvp. It was like that for me too. Even though it was a victory, there were many problems in the games that were played. But this situation is part of a life of being a professional gamer, and we didn't really have any way around it. Very happy to still win in the end.
Q: Your team mate, Leenock, lost today.
A: Even though he's really strong, he was really worried before the games because his opponent was a Protoss player. Also, he choked while eating a sandwich in America, and that caused his condition today to be the worst ever.
He's a professional gamer though, so he's not really moping about it. He doesn't have many other thoughts. A loss is a loss.
Q: Are you unhappy about this MLG? You almost won, but still lost to DongRaeGu in the end.
A: I was really unhappy, and thought it was really unfortunate. But DongRaeGu said he would buy me new shoes. I hope he'll buy them for me soon.
Q: It's some time before the new season starts. Will you be concentrating fully on preparing for GSTL?
A: We will have to prepare well for the game against SlayerS. We will win this time. We will get our revenge.
Q: What are your goals for the next season?
A: It's definitely to win the whole thing. Isn't that the biggest goal for all professional gamers? My goal is really to win the tournament. I came in fourth place again this MLG. I don't know why I'm always coming in fourth (laughs).
My aim this time is to at least reach the finals stage. From my perspective. being in the kong line is actually an enviable position.
Q: It seems like Protoss will be pretty strong next season.
A: People are saying that Protoss is really strong lately, but I don't find anything too strong with Protoss. For me though, the more Protosses there are in the GSL, the happier I am.
I really hope there are more than 25 Protosses in the GSL (laughs). I am confident of winning the tournament if that were really the case.
Q: Any last things to add?
A: It's been tough on all the players who had to play today despite being so tired after playing in MLG. I want to thank my team mates and coaching team for giving me so much help in America. I also want to thank my team mates and Coach Choya for picking me up today from the airport.
