Western Wolves Sting sat down to discuss his opinion on the up coming Intel Extreme Masters World Championship, as well as his thoughts on Heart of the Swarm. We also take a quick look at how Sting qualified for IEM WC, through his storming debut in Singapore for Western Wolves.



Good afternoon Sting. Could you tell the readers a little bit about yourself?



Hi, I am Sting from Western Wolves. I am 19 years old. I am a very aggressive terran player. I think my career isn’t that large, so people don’t know me well. Anyway please keep cheering for me.





You will play in the IEM World Championship on 5th of March. How confident do you feel going into the tournament?



I have more confidence in HotS than WoL. If bracket is good for me, I can go to semifinal.





As this is one of the largest StarCraft 2 events, all of the strongest players from around the world will be competing. Is there any player you fear the most?



All participants are so good. So I fear every player.





After your really nerving and close games at IEM Singapore you got the nickname "The Tightrope Terran". A large reason for winning the series in your last games must come down to the fact that you handled the stress better. Do you believe that is something that sets you apart from your opponents?



I don’t think I controlled my stress well for last game. Just my build was better than opponent’s and I had some luck. Frankly speaking, I can’t handle my stress.





It feels like foreign players are making themselves a way bigger name in Starcraft 2 than they did in StarCraft: Brood War. How do you rate the non-Korean players at the moment?



When I played HotS ladder games these days, sometimes I lost versus some good non Korean player and I learned from the games. There are lots of players like Korean players. I think they are very good.





On to some questions about the game. In the latest patches of StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty many people regarded Terran as the weakest race. What are your thoughts about Terran and race balance in Heart of The Swarm?





I think balance is fine for all race. Balance is good right now.





Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Are there any shout outs you would like to make?



After IEM Singapore winning, I got lots of twitter followers. Thanks! I will do more good shape on HotS. Please don’t stop cheering for me. I'd also like to thank my sponsors Mad Catz, Tritton, Sapphire and AMD. This IEM World Championship, I will do my best and I will show you good game!
