Reach: “My goal is to get 2-digit wins”







"Manhandling my opponent? It was a piece of cake."



There is no one who wanted a win after being discharged from the military more than Reach. Today he has achieved that 1 victory. The players of KT and their coaching staff, their fans, and all of eSports have been celebrating over their loved players’ “heroic return”. Reach, who has achieved 2 auspicious events tonight, ended his 11 loss losing streak and finally achieved a victory after 1523 days since the last time he won wearing his KT uniform, said, “I think that the future will be even more important. Since currently has the most wins after getting discharged from the military, I’m glad that this can motivate us and prepare each other for a rivalry over who gets the most wins after being discharged.” There is no one who wanted a win after being discharged from the military more than Reach. Today he has achieved that 1 victory. The players of KT and their coaching staff, their fans, and all of eSports have been celebrating over their loved players’ “heroic return”. Reach, who has achieved 2 auspicious events tonight, ended his 11 loss losing streak and finally achieved a victory after 1523 days since the last time he won wearing his KT uniform, said, “I think that the future will be even more important. Since Anytime currently has the most wins after getting discharged from the military, I’m glad that this can motivate us and prepare each other for a rivalry over who gets the most wins after being discharged.”



Q: You achieved your first victory after getting discharged from the air force.

A: First of all, I’m really happy that I won (laughs). To me, my strength in my games is usually more important, but this time it seems that getting even 1 victory was more essential. Since I was in a situation where winning was more important, I’m really satisfied with my victory today. If you’re in a losing streak, a change in mindset is necessary, and it seems that that change happened to me today. Since it’s been such a long time the last time I won, I’m really happy with myself.



Q: Your performance was rather shaky in today’s games

A: My multitasking hasn’t really been the best since the past and I worried over it a lot, but this time it seemed that my control didn’t go that well today instead. I have to focus more on my control in the future.



Q: You ended your 11 loss losing streak. You must be even more pleased about that.

A: In Air Force ACE, I ended a 13 loss losing streak, and in KT, I ended an 11 loss losing streak. I entered losing streaks in both teams though (laughs). If my losing streak turns into a winning streak in the future, that would be really great. When I ended my losing streak in the past against , I emptied my mind and thought to myself, “Whether it’s a 13 loss losing streak or a 14 loss losing streak, there's no difference in other people’s eyes”. And since I tried to play comfortably in today’s match, I was able to get good results.



Q: It’s been 1523 days since the last time you won with the KT uniform donned on.

A: I did think that it has been a long time since the last time I wore it, but I didn’t think that it's been 4 years and 2 months already (laughs). During that time, I haven’t been able to participate in games much and my record is quite bad, so I’m kind of embarrassed (laughs). Still, I’ll take advantage of today and make this my chance to redeem myself again.



Q: There were clear opportunities to lead the game and get an advantage when you faced off against Neo.G_Soulkey.

A: It seemed that I got bewildered over how he blocked my strategy in the opening and made me in a position where I couldn’t do anything. I put too much emphasis on the first game and focused too much on getting 1 single win instead of multiple ones, which led to me being unprepared for my next matches. I knew that I was at a disadvantage, and after wandering aimlessly around in the center and losing the battle there, it was regrettable that I lost like that. I need to prepare more thoroughly for matches against Zerg in the future.



Q: If Stats lost, it was planned that you would come out after in the 2nd set, but it looked like you had complex feelings for the 1st set.

A: I knew that could have won that game. If you look at it in another way, since there was a possibility for me to get a new chance of winning, I watched his game with strange feelings. I had practiced for our match today, so if had won his game, that would mean that I would’ve lost my chance at being able to participate regrettably, so I’m really thankful to that he let me have an opportunity at winning today. [T/N: He’s not thanking Stats for losing, ya realists! It was already planned out for Mantoss to get his glorious win today, fufufuu.]



Q: There is a competition between you and Anytime to get the most wins after being discharged from the air force.

A: My win is still not really enough. ’s momentum is way too good, and he also prepares really well for his matches. In the past, I had confidence in my control, which is why I tried to improve my multitasking, but now I think that my control is lacking. I think that competing with Anytime while trying to improve myself will be really beneficial to me. If we meet each other in the future, I think that it’ll turn out to be a good match. [T/N: Reach is so calling out Anytime right here. Please make a Reach vs. Anytime deathmatch happen in the future, any deity up there.]



Q: What is your goal in the future

A: Now, I think that the future is more important. Since I achieved my small goal of getting 1 win, before this season ends, I will try my best to rack up more wins in the 2-digit range. If I had lost today, I would’ve lost an opportunity to participate more in the future, so it’s a huge relief that I won instead. Since I won today, I will work hard to get even more chances to participate in the future. [T/N: You hear that, fanboys? Reach’s gonna try his best to come out more, just for you guys!]



Q: You have the record of having the most wins in Proleague so far. You seem to have strong feelings over Flash who broke his winning streak record right in front of your eyes today. [T/N: Not broke as in got an insane winning record, but Flash has gotten his first loss from his 11 win winning streak.]

A: I don't really remember my past winning streak record that well. However, I’m more amazed at the fact that my winning record still hasn’t been broken yet (laughs). If had performed 3 kills easily today, that would have been great, but it’s a little regrettable that he couldn’t. Still, since it seems that has broke out of his slump, it’s really good news to our team. Doesn’t this seem like this will push us to be even more determined and motivated to win the championship in the future?



Q: Any last words you want to say?

A: For the time being, I want to apologize to my fans that have been waiting for me for a really long time and for not coming out for a while. I want to thank all of those who have been cheering for and supporting me, along with the coaching staff who gave me a chance to participate today. I’m truly grateful to my little siblings who learned that I was going to participate and said, “I’m even more nervous than you,” and confidently helped me out as if they were playing real matches against me. [T/N: “Little siblings” in this context does not mean blood-related siblings; Reach is affectionately thanking his beloved younger teammates, of course!] Also, has been sick recently so he couldn’t come to our match today, so I wish for him to get better as soon as possible and fully recover.

If there's any errors/typos/grammar mistakes, please do point them out!



Translating the same interview at the same time sucks. Really hard. But luckily, there are heroes other than Mantoss out there, and thy name is nozaro33! He translated Flash and Action's interview, so all due credit goes to him. Thanks for translating, nozaro33!





Flash - Action: "The return of the Hero"







I changed the picture from the other thread to place more emphasis on Flash and Action instead of Mantoss, even though everyone loves to see more of his manliness. Hope you don't mind the change, nozaro33.

Hope you don't mind the change, nozaro33.

Thoughts on helping your team achieve a 6-game winning streak?

▲ : I'm very happy to help achieve a 6 game winning streak. Last season getting a 6 game winning streak seemed so effortless, so now we have to continue winning and extend the streak.

▲ : I've been losing a lot during this period, so I can't really take any credit. But thanks to my teammates doing very well, I can always play calmly without too much pressure.



You almost got the longest SPL winning streak record

▲ : I usually don't really care that much about records, so I was unaware of it this time. I only knew of it after the games. Although it is a bit unfortunate, I still got 2 kills, and winning with Reach and Action was great. I think the team winning together is much better than just winning records.



Everybody was anticipating Reach's victory

▲ : Reach hyung has very good PvP, so we also believed he could win. After a long period, Reach hyung finally showed his fans and teammates a "heroic return". I believe that Reach hyung will have even better performances in future SWL matches.



2 kills may not seem much, but today's games really showed off your "starsense"

▲ : I had a special feeling coming today to the stadium. Once I got the feeling right, I won. Against Really hyung, once I saw the vultures I knew how to react and what my gameplan would be. Although anyone can predict it, how you react is very important, you must assess the correct counter and have fast reflexes.



So losing to ZerO must have been even more disappointing.

▲ : I didn't think I would lose against . Maybe because it was the last match, so I didn't really play at my full potential. I wanted to win in one shot, but when I attacked, a lot of mistakes came up. I was planning to try and hold on as if I were in a movie, but once I came down, my teammates asked, "When were you planning to leave?" Next time I must improve more, so that this kind of mistake doesn't happen again.



You appeared as the ace player despite your losing streak

▲ : I felt very pressured during my losing streak. People around me gave me a lot of advice, and I hope that through this victory I can regain confidence again. Our team kept on winning, yet I kept on losing. So I thought that if I could perform better, everything would be fine. What was difficult though was that I knew what my problems were, but it was hard to find a way to improve. Today's victory didn't really change anything, but I think I can play better in the future.



Everybody was happy you ended your losing streak

▲ : Whenever I lose, we often go over about what happened during the game. I didn't hear anyone pointing out my flaws today. I am very grateful to everybody. The only thing that comes up in my mind is that I must play even better.



Will you continue to keep on winning?

▲ : Considering our current form, swapping places with SKT and getting 1st place doesn't seem like much of a problem. KT was last season's champion, not this season. So we must have confidence and work hard to become this season's champion.

▲ : Coming into SWL, my thoughts are no matter what, I must help the team rise in the ranks. During this time we must raise our ranking.



Any last words?

▲ : First off I'm happy to win, and also happy for Reach hyung and Action breaking their out of losing streaks. It feels like we achieved a lot today. hyung was sick so he couldn't come out today, so I'm really worried for him. I hope he gets better soon, so we can all win together.

▲ : During this losing streak, our coaches did a lot to help me relieve pressure. I want to thank them, and hope that hyung can get better and come to our games with us.



Guys, make sure you also thank nozaro33 for translating , because I stole his thunder! Here, I'll even put an example for those who are lazy so that you can just copypasta it into your comment:

"Thank you very much nozaro33 for translating Flash and Action's interviews; I offer my firstborn to you in thanks and gratitude. <333"
