Source: inven eSports I thought it was going to be difficult, but after playing through it I saw that it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. But I did get to see that the players who I thought were good, were indeed really good. I was able to really feel the whole returning to Korea thing.If the level of players is going to be similar, then I figured that I might as well just play in Korea. I couldn’t really establish good results for WCS AM last year anyways so I thought that it wouldn’t be all that different between Korean and America.I always think that I have to play a lot of games on a constant basis, but it’s really difficult to do that when there is nothing scheduled. But I think I was able to see the light of sucking it up and practicing real hard through my results today. I think I did well.I think this format is better than the previous one. Even though my tournament performances are not as good as they once were, I feel that as long as I can revive my televised matches workmanship, then it won’t matter who I face.I went to the semi-finals once, but I didn’t go to America just so I could make somewhat of a good result. It was good that I made it to a semi-finals but I wasn’t satisfied. I probably would have stayed in America if I had won the whole thing but I didn’t, so I think that’s why the already familiar Korean scene is better for me.My first and foremost goal is to grab Code S. And then once I grab Code S, then of course I will aim for the championsip. Right now my skills have gone up a lot and I’ve also realized a lot of things about the game so I am confident.For a player like me who is not participating in Proleague, there are upsides and downsides. I do think though that the players participating in Proleague will have good performances and a good feel for the game. But all that matters is if I just do well.I want to thank my team for coolly believing in me when I said that I would be region switching back to Korea. I want to establish good results for this season so that I can repay that kind of kindness.Source: inven eSports I took a really long break from tournaments in Korea, so now I am ready to get things going again with no breaks.We still have the team house for now so I practiced at the team house.Nothing’s been decided yet but I will make sure that I can announce something as soon as possible.First and foremost goal is to achieve Code S status.Source: inven eSports When I fell to the qualifiers last season, I didn’t know if I was going to get the NesTea award or not. But I found out that this will be my tenth time if I can make it to Code S this season.Rather than say that I couldn’t practice, I should say that I didn’t practice. But I was feeling really good today so I think that’s why I won.Personally, I think the road to Code S has gotten more comfortable. I want to start off the new year with a good feeling by grabbing the year’s first Code S opportunity.I want to work real hard in individual leagues so that I can find a good team. Lastly, to all my fOu teammates that have been with me all this time, I hope they will make it as well.Source: inven eSports If I had failed to make it through for this qualifier, then I would not have had many chances left even if I did make it through next season’s qualifiers and made it into Code S. I’m sure that it would have been difficult to maintain my mentality had I failed to go through. I’m relieved that I was able to get through but I wasn’t satisfied in my performance. But if I want to participate in the GSL then there are a lot more things that I have focus on. Right now I have an anxious mindset.I was only able to perform about 60% of what I was capable of from practices. I also made a lot of mistakes.After my game against PartinG, I kept thinking “what did I do?” I was also really nervous, but I really just didn’t play like myself.Well first off, I have a really good feeling since I was able to get through the first qualifiers for this year. Honestly, I don’t believe in horoscopes but my parents told me to just hang in there since my horoscope for 2013 was not looking good. That kind of advice sort of helped me out. I think things are going to be better than they were last year.I can maintain my feel for the game thanks to Proleague preparations so that’s good. In the past, I didn’t have a lot of matches to participate in so I even started getting lazy, but nowadays I am always practicing while feeling nervous. The team atmosphere is great too and the players’ determination is also good.I think this format is actually better. For a Zerg player, it is really burdensome to have to keep playing against one person. It’s because there’s a lot of things that could go wrong. Rather than getting hit with a desperate strategy and be on the brink of death, I think it is better to just take on multiple people on the same day.I want to go through Code A and make it to the quarter-finals of Code S where a seed is on the line. Many players these days are really strong so I don’t think I’m at a position where I can talk about winning the championship (laughs).I am always grateful to my fans. I also want to let my parents know that they shouldn’t worry about me too much because I think things are going to go well for this year. I hope that every single one of my teammates who made it through the qualifiers today can go to Code S, and even though I’m not sure if my words will console them in any way, I still hope that everyone else who didn’t make it through will stay strong. Lastly, I want to thank our supervisor, Lim Hyun Seok.Source: inven eSports For 2013, I got through every single qualifier. But I kept on getting eliminated in the very first round. So I will show a different form for 2014.Since I kept on getting through each qualifier, I thought to myself that “huh, I’ve still somewhat got it.” But now I know that that was the wrong thing to think. So since from some time ago I’ve been practicing really hard and I’ve also grabbed the top ranking on ladder. I will work hard so that I can show a great form from here on out.If I’m a man then shouldn't it obviously be the championship?First off, because the fOu team disbanded, there have been some articles stating that the team lacked operating skills. But that was not true at all. I really hate receiving comments that say things like we have no skill or comments that look down on us. That’s why the players practiced really hard, and the result of that was that all four former fOu members that participated in the daytime qualifiers, made it through. Lastly, I really want to thank supervisor Choya.Source: inven eSports This was my first qualifiers so I am glad that I was able to get through without much difficulty.There were no interferences to the team atmosphere. In fact, I actually think that that loss was a good medicine for us.Everyone really excels at the basics and you could not imagine how much practicing we do. I can’t help but feel that good results will come from all this blood spilling practice.First off, I want to grab Code S that’s right in front of me.Recently my condition has been good and I’m also doing really well during practice so I have found confidence in myself. So I’m hoping people will anticipate a great form from me.
