Your thoughts on reaching the finals?

▲ The matches were played so quickly that I still can't grasp the fact that I won. In SC:BW, I never had a chance to play in such a big stage (such as the finals) because I retired. I'm very happy I have the chance to play such a big game, on a big stage.





You won 3:0.

▲ I win 3 out of a 100 matches. And luckily, I won those three matches tonight. [laugh]





The first match started off against your favor. You still came back and won.

▲ The cross positional spawn points were under my favor, for sure. Also, the opponent building three bunkers, delayed his tech. This gave me a chance, even though my natural was taken down. After I stopped the banshee, I had confidence to win.





Competitively, these maps are tough to prepare for, as Zerg.

▲ I only had one day to prepare anyways, and on Scrap Station and Metalopolis I was lucky to have spawned under long rush distances. Even though the other three maps were Terran-favored, I played with this mindset: "Surely I wont lose all three matches..." [laugh]





So then, did you prepare for playing up to the 5th match?

▲ Not exactly. I was aiming to win 3:0.





In the second match, you were able to use fungal growth to snipe the medivacs.

▲ I used this tactic three months ago. Even when I practiced, I didnt reveal it in my plays. I figured Terran would learn how to avoid and counter it, so I saved it for an important match. It was tricky to pull off since I didnt get to practice it all that much, but I think it was quite effective today.





"Kim Won-Ki is a different breed of Zerg" is a rumour floating around recently.

▲ If I look through different Zerg replays, they win AND lose the same way I do. So, I can't really tell the difference. I believe I have above average positioning and micro, but I cant figure out the rest.





In the last match, broodlings were the key to your win.

▲ Really? I didn't know. Because it was a base race, I was only looking at his base. I had a feeling he was going for my main when I first saw his buildings. I initially thought of using burrowed banelings to stop his push, but I felt the timing was going to be late to do that so I changed up my strategy to ling/roach/muta.





You're usually nervous... were you in today's match?

▲ You're right, I usually am. However I wasn't nervous at all today. I was content with just being in the final four.





You're going to face a Terran in the finals.

▲ I think l have a better chance if I face Sung-jae hyung (Rainbow). Ensnare practices a lot, but Rainbow is similar to me: he enjoys playing the game, and takes it less seriously. I'm a bit more scared of facing Ensnare.





If you win the finals, the grand prize is in your hands. Does this feel real to you?

▲I don't know. I haven't thought about the money until last night, before falling asleep. I have never imagined of having the chance to win that money in my progaming life. When I get home, I have to call my parents right away. I haven't even told them about GSL yet, because of the fear of letting my parents down. But I must tell them now.



How are you going to use the two days to prepare?

▲ ZvT is easier to prepare for than ZvP. As long as I dont get overly nervous and choke, I have good chances of winning. I must prepare hard mentally.





You live in the same house as sSKS (Tester).

▲At first, we weren't even that close. Luckily, one night I was about to go to sleep, but I ended up having a drink with him [laugh]. I hope Ki-Soo uses more all-in strategies in the future. Ki-Soo agrees with me... I think. I think if he all-in'ed yesterday, he could have won. It sucks. When GSL2 hits, Ki-Soo, sSKS will be the best player.



Your goal for the finals?

▲I couldn't imagine being in this situation when I first started SC2. Everything is going well for me. The past two years, I've faced many hardships and misfortune. I think most of those misfortunes are being washed away. I want to provide and EXCITING series in the finals.





Last remarks?

▲ ZERG USERS. FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!









Enjoy! <3
