Question: How do you feel about beating Flash?
Innovation: I thought it was going to be pretty hard. I was anxious because my 1st set build was a 11/11 rax but I had a really good build prepared for 2nd/3rd set so I thought maybe I could win 2-1? But I ended up winning 2-0
Question: 1st set you proxied each other
Innovation: In that situation, not a lot of marauders could be made because of its lengthy build time. Add to the fact that I also killed a lot of scvs beforehand, that's why I felt I won.
Question: In the 2nd set you showed a chess like drop play.
Innovation: The timing for my build was actually faster than I expected so I was able to kil a lot of scvs. In terms of hellbat fights, instead of taking a defensive stance towards it, I thought it is more advantageous to have a more offensive approach. When I only caught 4 scvs in the first drop, I thought I was at a disadvantage. To be honest, these days TvT is basically hellbat vs hellbat. So when the hellbats are nerfed, I think I might become a worse player in TvT.
Question: It seems like you play a terran that is unequal in skill. How do you feel about this?
Innovation: It's not like that at all. I lose on ladder all the time. For today, moreso than skills its just that all the builds and luck was on my side.
Question: You have your 10 straight WCS win
InnovatioN : I wasnt aware of this. To be honest, I dont think the streak is important at all and winning my sets and advancing is more important.
Question: Your next opponent is Bbyong
Innovation: I know bbyong as a good player and when I looked his game vs Bomber I know he wont be a walkover
Question: Any last words?
Innovation: None *laughs*

Question: How do you feel about beating Trap?
Maru: In the 1st set, I lost to Dark Templars so I felt In lost in vain but it makes me happy that I ended up winning anyway
Question: In the 2nd set you prepared a 11/11 barracks play.
Maru: When I did it in practice, it was a build that translated quite well. Since it was a new map, I didnt get a chance to practice it much so I used it. Also luck came in my way
Question: in the 3rd set, it was a tenacious economical game was seen (Editors note: I think its asking it was a harassment oriented game?)
Maru: I was able to strategically avoid losses time and time again so I played without losing composure. So when it came down to the big fights, I had confidence that I was going to take the win right then and there.
Question: If you could evaluate your play?
Maru: Out of 100, I'd say...60 *laughs* I used the builds I had in mind but I didnt play that well at all.
Question: Your next match is against Supernova
Maru: Lol, whoever uses hellbats better will win.If it does comes down to a hellbat wars I will have to make smaller attacks.
Question: Any last words?
Maru: I want to thank my teammates and my coach.

SKT T1 Rain's interview

Question: After meeting hyvaa, you won the set in quite a tough fashion
Rain: I won but I'm not happy. From what I thought, my gameplay today was not that great.In the 2nd set, I had to use the same build order I used for the 1st set and in my 3rd set, I didnt like build order at all.
Question: The phoenix/zealot build you used in the 1st set was pretty good..
Rain: I didnt show it until now but it's something I've been practicing vs Zergs. Since it worked so well, I figure might as well use it again in the 2nd set.
Question: In the 2nd set, what was exactly the problem?
Rain: From the point where my zealot/phoenix attack was deflected I had around a 20% chance of winning. I figured I already lost this but might as well warm up my hands so I dragged the game on.
Question: in the 3rd set, what's the reason it was such a back and forth chess match?
Rain: The map's quite large and when a zerg masses up swarm hosts and gets in a defensive stance, it can only become a chess-like match. Even if I made a full on attack, there isnt a way that I can break the zerg's defence completely so I slowly played it out.
Question: Your next opponent is a protoss called First
Rain: Since Fantasy lost, I think I need to secure that 2nd win. I have the mentality that I absolutely need to win this game. I think First's results in practices are quite good but I feel his style is rather easy and simple. Because of proleague I only had two hours to prepare for this match but this match result will come down to how prepared you are for the respective opponent.|
Question: Any last words?
Rain: I want to thank Sacsri and Dark. I didnt show such good results this time around so I'll show a better side of myself in the next match.I also want to thank my coach who came along with me and thank soO and Parting for waiting for my match to finish. I know they had to wait for quite a while, so I'm sorry <3

Question: How do you feel winning but via team kill
soO: I didnt prepare much for this match but I won so I'm relieved. But I feel bad for having a team kill.
Question: In MLG you got eliminated early.
soO: I lost but I got a taste of a cheerful atmosphere at the Anaheim venue and was a big motivator for me. To be honest, there werent a lot of good players in the tournament so when I got eliminated early, I felt quite disappointed.
Question: In the 1st set you blocked off the Immortal attack and won.
soO: Parting probably thought he would win easy by rushing me like that but he did react to the circumstances at play so he lost.
Question: How was the 2nd set?
soO: I predicted Partings build and "노림수"??? but the circumstances didnt come up the way I had planned. However, I was still able to use my roaches efficiently and I was able to carry out a difficult win.
Question: How do you feel about the ro16?
soO: I thought todays match was going to be quite hard but I won so I have a lot of hope. My next match is against Soulkey and he's an amazingly good player so I have to prepare extensively for myself to beat him
Question: Any last words:
soO: I feel so sorry for beating Parting. I hope we can advance together
