MVP – ‘It is hard to win in through one big battle because of the archon buff.’



- Your thoughts on making the round of 32?

It must be because the games were so long, but my happiness about the win is pretty subdued.



- Your predicted score before this match?

I only thought about playing well rather than focusing on the score. If it went well, I suspected I would win, and if it didn’t, it would be difficult.



- It is known that you do not like TvP matchups.

It’s not that I hate the matchup, but I think there are just so many things to think about. Although the warp gate was nerfed, it is always tough to prepare for the matchup because there are still so many strategies.



- Your reason for losing the 2nd set?

I went in thinking he would quick expand, but that wasn’t the case. And I didn’t really prepare for a macro game after that.



- The reason that the 3rd set was so long?

In the early game, I did a marine and bunker rush but that was stopped. And in practice, I only got that far, and since that failed, I tried to play in the most safe manner possible, so it ended up being so long. I don’t think the games today went as well as they could have.



- Was the nuke a ceremony?

I prepared it because it is possible to nuke the economy at the 12-o-clock position from above the hill.



- You focused on a lot of marauder drops.

Because of the archon buff, I wasn’t sure I could just win in one big battle. Even in practice, when I was ahead, there were several cases of reversals. So I played it safe by defending with planetary fortresses while dropping so it took a while for the game to finish.



- Anyone left you consider to be a challenge?

I take each match as a challenge. And if GanZi advances, my challenges will truly start from the round of 32. But if ButterflyEffect advances, I feel like I will have an easier time than facing GanZi. GanZi and I were on the same SCBW team so we know each other’s style pretty well.



- Any last comments?

My teammates Seed, YongHwa, and Nuts helped me practice. San and Inca also helped me practice. I want to thank all those players for their help and I hope all of them can get to the round of 32.

▼ 32강에 진출한 소감은?

- 경기를 너무 오래해서 그런지 기쁨이 반감됐다.



▼ 경기 전 예상 스코어는?

- 스코어보단 잘하자는 생각밖에 안했다. 잘되면 쉽게 이기고, 잘 안되면 힘들게 이길 거라 생각했다.



▼ 프로토스전을 싫어하는 걸로 아는데?

- 싫어한다기 보단 생각할 것이 많다. 차관이 너프되긴 했지만 그래도 할 것이 많아서 준비하기 힘들었다.



▼ 2세트에서의 패인은?

- ‘쌩더블’을 노리고 갔는데, 그게 아니었다. 그 이후 운영 자체를 생각 안하고 있었다.



▼ 3세트가 길어진 이유는?

- 초반에 해병, 탱크 러쉬를 갔는데 그게 막혔다. 연습 땐 그 상황까지만 했는데, 그게 실패했고, 최대한 안전하게 하려다 보니 그렇게 된 것 같다. 오늘따라 게임이 잘 풀리지 않은 것도 있다.



▼ 핵공격은 세리머니였나?

- 12시 쪽 언덕에서 견제가 가능하기 때문에 준비했었다.



▼ 소수 불곰 견제를 주로 한 이유는?

- 집정관이 강해져서 한 방 싸움에서 이길 거란 확신이 들지 않았다. 연습 때 유리할 때도 역공에 무너질 때가 많았다. 그래서 행성요새로 방어하며 하다 보니 길어진 것 같다.



▼ 앞으로 남은 고비는?

- 매 경기가 고비라고 생각한다. 동주 형이 올라오면 32강부터 고비가 될 것 같다. 백승주 선수가 올라온다면 동주 형 보단 덜 까다로울 것 같다. 동주 형과는 스타크래프트1 때 같은 팀이어서 서로의 스타일을 잘 알고 있다.



▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은?

- 같은 팀의 상원, 용화, 진형 선수가 연습을 도와줬다. 강초원, 송준혁 선수도 도와줬다. 두 선수 모두 도와줘서 고맙고 모두 32강에 올라갔으면 좋겠다.

GanZi – ‘My immediate goal is to overcome MVP.’



- Your thoughts on making the round of 32?

I feel like I won easily today so I am pretty happy. In the round of 32, I will be facing MVP; he is a good player, and someone I know very well so I will make sure to prepare my hardest to show good games.



- MVP mentioned that if he faced you it would be difficult.

MVP is being modest. In practice, MVP almost always wins. He is really good at TvT, and he is the best terran right now. Because of that, I want to face him with everything I have. I also think MMA is really good but he only seems to play at full strength during the GSTL.



- There are a lot of variables in a TvT, was it hard for you to prepare?

To be honest, we have been partying like crazy after the team league victory that my condition wasn’t too good today. I didn’t get to practice that much, and so I prepared to play my most basic style for today’s match.



- Is it hard for you to live as a player along with a coach?

In SCBW the significance of team life was dependant on the coach, so I have a lot of experience from that and I feel like I am in a good position in this team where I can get good advice. It makes me not lazy, and it feels pretty rewarding.



- Do you think the round of 32 will be your toughest test?

If I can beat MVP, I will get a lot of confidence. So my immediate goal is to overcome MVP. I will put all my focus for that.



- Any last comments?

I wanted to do some interviews for the GSTL, but I guess they only interviews the most valuable players. Although I wasn’t able to be that this team league, I feel like I carried my weight for the team so I am pleased. Our team is growing with good players and people that I feel like it is only natural that we will grow in time with more and more accomplishments as a team. I want to thank Ga-yeon and BoxeR. At first, I was hesitant about team living, but ever since Ga-yeon told me that she was happy to see me smile there, I have felt very comfortable. And when I see BoxeR in the teamhouse still practicing and putting forth his best effort after all this time, I am always surprised. I know that this team is still a burden that BoxeR tries to carry forth, but in the future, I know that it will be a team that will only get better over time as its members put forth their efforts.

▼ 32강에 진출한 소감은?

- 쉽게 이긴 것 같아서 기분이 좋다. 32강 상대가 종현인데, 잘하는 선수고, 잘 아는 사이이기 때문에 좋은 경기 할 수 있도록 열심히 준비하겠다.



▼ 정종현이 김동주를 만나면 어려울 것 같다고 얘기했는데?

- 종현이가 겸손하고 착하다. 연습 땐 종현이가 거의 다 이긴다. 테테전도 잘하고, 현재 테란의 최강자이기 때문에 그것에 의의를 두고 멋지고 화끈하게 붙어보고 싶다. 문성원도 최고라고 생각하지만 GSTL 때만 최강인 것 같다.



▼ 테테전은 변수가 많은데, 준비가 어렵지 않았나?

- 사실 팀리그 우승 이후 미친 듯이 놀아서 컨디션이 좋지 않았다. 연습을 많이 못했고, 오늘은 나름 변칙적인 플레이를 하려고 준비했었다.



▼ 코치와 선수 생활 겸업이 어렵진 않나?

- 스타크래프트1 때 팀 생활의 의의를 코치직에 두었었고, 그 때 많은 경험을 한 것이 오히려 지금 팀 내에서 중요한 위치에 있는 것에 도움이 되고 있다. 나태해지지 않게 되고, 더 보람을 느낀다.



▼ 32강이 가장 큰 고비라고 생각하나?

- 종현이만 꺾는다면 자신감이 많이 붙을 것 같다. 당장의 목표는 정종현 타도다. 총력을 기울이겠다.



▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은?

- GSTL 이전에 인터뷰 많이 하고 싶었는데, 주인공들만 인터뷰를 하더라. 이번에 주인공은 못 됐지만, 팀에 이바지한 것 같아서 마음이 편하다. 팀 생활에 있어서 좋은 사람들과 함께 만들어가기 때문에 팀에 대한 애착이 점점 더 커지는 것 같다. 가연 누나와 요환 형께 감사드린다. 팀 생활 초반에 침체기였는데, 가연 누나가 내가 웃는 모습을 보고 기쁘다고 해주셔서 감사드린다. 요환 형이 아직도 열심히 하는 모습을 보면 놀랍다. 팀원들이 아직은 요환형의 짐이지만, 차후에는 팀원들이 힘을 모아 더 좋은 팀을 만들어 나가고 싶다.

vs. SuperNoVa

+ Show Spoiler +

SuperNoVa – ‘I want to show my real skills.’



- Your thoughts on making the round of 32?

I thought it would be harder to win, so this win hasn’t really dawned on me yet. But I feel good.



- Did you predict that your opponent would 6-pool in the 1st set?

On the ladder, I tend to go for fast expansions so I knew that there was a possibility that he might do that, but I didn’t really think he would. I was lucky that I was able to block it. I suspected something was up when I saw the quick drone scout.



- Did the 2nd set go as you planned?

I think that went as the scenario that I prepared.



- What do you think is the reason that there hasn’t been much attention (by the media) toward you?

I don’t think I have really shown my full potential on broadcasted matches. My goal in this super tournament is to showcase my skills.



- Who do you want to face in the round of 32?

I think MMA will advance. It would be good if Lyn would advance, but I wouldn’t say I am afraid of either player. I believe the match against either of them is very doable, so I think the match will be fun.



- Your thoughts on your toughest challenge left?

I think each moment can be taken as a challenge, and I have passed the first one today. The next one will be bigger.



- Your goal for this season?

I don’t have a set goal, but I plan to show 100% of everything that I prepare for each match.



- Any last comments?

I want to thank Zenio, JookTo, and Cezanne for helping me practice.

▼ 32강에 진출한 소감은?

- 생각보다 쉽게 이긴 것 같아서 실감은 나지 않는다. 기분은 좋다.



▼ 1세트에 6산란못 전략을 예상했나?

- 내가 래더에서 ‘생더블’을 많이 사용하는 편이라 할 수도 있다고 생각은 했지만 정말로 할 줄은 몰랐다. 운 좋게 막을 수 있었다. 일벌레 정찰이 빠른 것 보고 이상하다고 생각은 했다.



▼ 2세트는 원한대로 흘러갔나?

- 준비해온 시나리오대로 된 것 같다.



▼ 본인이 크게 주목받지 못하는 이유는 뭐라고 생각하나?

- 방송에서 아직까지 제대로 된 실력을 못 보여드린 것 같다. 슈퍼토너먼트에선 나의 실력을 제대로 보여드리는 것을 목표로 잡고 있다.



▼ 32강에서 누구와 겨루고 싶은가?

- 문성원 선수가 올라올 것 같다. 박준 선수가 올라오면 좋겠지만, 딱히 두렵다고 생각하진 않는다. 충분히 해 볼 만하기 때문에 재밌는 경기 할 수 있을 것 같다.



▼ 본인이 생각하는 고비는?

- 매 순간 순간이 고비라고 생각하는데, 오늘 첫 고비를 넘긴 것 같다. 다음이 더 큰 고비인 것 같다.



▼ 이번 시즌 목표는?

- 딱히 정한 목표는 없고, 매 게임마다 준비한 것을 100% 보여드리려고 하는 것이 목표다.



▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은?

- 연습을 도와준 최정민, 조창호, 조만혁, 김정환 선수에게 고맙다.

MMA – ‘It is important to take it one step at a time.’



- Your thoughts on making the round of 32?

I feel like I have been resurrected from death.



- Your play seemed a bit different than usual.

Strangely, I think when my play is good it is good, and when it is bad it is just bad. The up and down swing is too much still. I need to work on controlling my consistency.



- Your reason for losing the 2nd set?

My whole strategy was messed up. My play was one thing then the next without focus and my ragtag strategy was broken so I lost.



- You were also behind in the 3rd set.

Lyn scanned in the center but I think he didn’t see the siege tanks on the hill. And after that exchange, I was able to play it slow and take the win.



- Compared to during the team league, it feels like you haven’t showed your best skills in the individual league.

I don’t know exactly why. If I knew the reason, I wouldn’t be doing that. I got to find an answer real quick. I suppose it could be because the atmosphere is different than when I play in the team league.



- Your next opponent is SuperNoVa.

He is a really good player so I will have to prepare very hard for this match. He is a former SCBW pro like me so I feel like the match will be fun.



- This season’s greatest challenge?

It is important to take things one step at a time. I will try to win in my round of 32 match and try to do well at MLG. I will take it slow.



- Are you worried about the MLG?

Whenever I have time, I have been watching VODS of the foreign players.



- In the foreign tournaments, you have to play many matches in one day. How are to preparing for this?

I think mind control (stability) will be especially important. There are a lot of moments where you may lose a game and get into panic mode, so your results really reflect how well you handle those kinds of situations.



- Your predicted result at MLG?

Of course, I plan to win. It is an individual event, but my teammates believe in me, so I feel like I will need to win. I have one friend who doesn’t believe in me. Kim…, (laugh). I heard that Idra and Naniwa are great players so I will need to watch out for them.



- Any last comments?

I want to thank Ga-yeon, BoxeR, and Cella. Recently, Razer has sent us a lot of products for us to use. I want to thank them. I will make sure to get good results in the round of 32. Finally, I want to thank my fans who cheer me on.

▼ 32강에 진출한 소감은?

- 죽다 살아난 기분이다.



▼ 플레이가 평소와 조금 달라보였는데?

- 이상하게 경기력이 좋을 땐 좋은데, 아닐 땐 아닌 것 같다. 기복이 심한 것 같다. 아직까지 컨트롤이 잘 안 되는 것 같다.



▼ 2세트 패인은?

- 체제가 어정쩡했다. 이도 저도 아닌 플레이를 하다가 어영부영 막혀서 패한 것 같다.



▼ 3세트도 꽤 불리했는데?

- 박준 선수가 센터에서 스캔을 썼는데 언덕위의 공성전차를 못 본 것 같다. 그 교전에서 이득을 보고 천천히 하다 보니 이긴 것 같다.



▼ 팀리그에 비해 개인리그에선 실력발휘가 안 되는 것 같은데?

- 이유를 잘 모르겠다. 이유를 알면 나도 이러고 있진 않을 것이다. 그 이유를 빨리 알아야겠다. 팀리그와 분위기가 다르기 때문인 것 같기도 하다.



▼ 다음 상대가 김영진인데?

- 김영진 선수가 잘해서 많은 준비를 해야 할 것 같다. 같은 스타크래프트1 출신이라 재밌는 경기가 나올 것 같다.



▼ 이번 시즌 고비는?

- 한 발 한 발 내딛는 것이 중요할 것 같다. 32강 승리하고 MLG 다녀오고, 천천히 올라가겠다.



▼ MLG는 걱정되지 않나?

- 틈틈이 시간 날 때마다 해외 선수들의 VOD를 챙겨보고 있다.



▼ 해외 토너먼트는 하루에 많은 경기를 치른다. 이에 대해선 어떻게 준비하고 있나?

- 마인드 컨트롤이 중요할 것 같다. 한 경기를 내주면 패닉상태에 빠질 때가 많은데, 그 것을 얼마만큼 조절하느냐에 따라 성적이 나올 것 같다.



▼ MLG에서의 예상 성적은?

- 무조건 우승이다. 개인리그지만 팀원들이 믿어주고 있기 때문에 우승해야 할 것 같다. 안 믿어 주는 친구가 하나 있다. 김…. (웃음) 그렉 필즈나 요한 루체시 선수가 잘한다고 들어서 조심해야 할 것 같다.



▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은?

- 가연 누나, 요환이 형, 홍 감독님 항상 감사드린다. 이번에 Razer에서 물품을 많이 보내주셨다. 감사드린다. 32강에서 좋은 성적 거두도록 하겠다. 응원해주신 팬분들에게 감사드린다.
