00:19 You look like you really wanted this win badly.

00:22 How much did this win mean to you?

00:24 Not only eating, I also want to cry.

00:27 I saw you talking to Yusin, like really, you know, so...

00:31 I tried to give him a support, stay behind him.

00:37 Yusin and Yi, very intense match, third game especially,

00:41 walk us through the whole match today.

00:43 I think the first match we controlled the game quite well.

00:46 And the second game and the third game, starting the dance, doing great.

00:51 They're controlling the final game and we hardly controlled the win

00:54 because when we... third game we keep on lifting and it's out.

00:58 But we tried to change a little bit the gameplay and yeah, it works.

01:03 I think... yeah, we know it's going to be a tough match, yeah,

01:08 because they are quite consistent throughout, I think, the half year.

01:12 And we just tell ourselves, try to give our best and fight for every point.

01:34 [speaking in foreign language]

01:39 I think that was very helpful.

01:41 [speaking in foreign language]

01:43 I think... yeah, I think we just don't think about the point first

01:47 because when we think, maybe for me, I think 2018,

01:51 I got a chance to win, that made two easy mistakes.

01:55 That's the point.

01:57 I try not to throw it again.

01:59 Yeah, just keep our focus.

02:01 Guys, as we know, it's a very important year, first tournament,

02:05 for you all especially, you know, after maybe not so good of a year last year.

02:09 How much of a confidence boost is this?

02:12 I think it's keeping me a lot of confidence.

02:17 Yeah, I think start from the match on Tuesday.

02:21 After that, yeah, because I just came back with an injury.

02:25 Yeah, I don't train seriously, I think.

02:29 Seriously, don't train so much.

02:31 So much, yeah, okay.

02:33 So I'm happy with my result today.

02:37 Yeah.
