- Your thoughts on entering the Round of 16 for 8 seasons in a row?
▲ I have been in the OSL for a long time, but my performance was not good for the past few seasons, which left me slightly disappointed. However, I will do my best to perform the best I can this year.
- You took a break from interviews after Proleague today. How are you feeling now?
▲ I'm still feeling bad right now, but compared to earlier today during Proleague, I feel much better. Actually, my situation was so bad yesterday that I even considered giving up all my games today. But I managed to recover a bit today so I still played, but my hands still did not move fast enough and I was in a terrible condition.
I had the toughest time playing today, but I managed to bring in good results so it means a lot to me. I held on with sheer willpower and my results turned out well, so I am relieved.
- Your bionic play seems extraordinary.
▲ I think it is because I play with great confidence. I don't think it was a perfect play, but
HoGiL let his guard down, and luck was on my side too. I have to ride on this momentum even further.- You will be playing in an Asian competition held in Vietnam on the 30th as the national representative.
▲ This is my first time going overseas. That makes this even more meaningful. Even if I don't win, I think either
fantasy or I will finish as first place, and it should be good experience for me.ZerO: "My target is to at least get into the semifinals.""The heavens have given me another chance."

- Your thoughts on getting in the Round of 16 of the OSL for 2 seasons in a row?
▲ I was fully prepared for the Round of 36 in the previous season so I was certain I would advance, but today, it was slightly different. In our game against Hite in Proleague, I suffered 2 straight losses, and because I felt so sorry for my team, I was not able to concentrate fully for the individual leagues. Moreover, because
firebathero is weak against Protoss, I only practiced against Protoss, so I was taken aback (when I had to face Firebathero). Luck was on my side, which was why I was able to advance into the Round of 16.- Was there any dangerous moments in the first game?
▲ When the first marine/medic attack came, I barely defended it while suffering more damage than expected. Not only that, my defiler was sniped by tanks, so I felt very uneasy.
I was too nervous so I was initially unaware, but my defiler was consistently sniped by tanks. Later on, when I re-evaluated my situation, I felt that I was still on even grounds, so I focused once again and played the game.
- In the second game, Firebathero went for a 3-rax all-in rush.
▲ I killed my opponent's scouting SCV early, so I went for an all-in attack. I think Firebathero prepared the rush after seeing my game against Leta, where I lost to a sunken break. I really think luck was on my side today. In the previous season, I played very fancifully but I wasn't able to produce results. I think the heavens gave me another chance.
- Was your hold lurker tactic an on-the-feet thinking?
▲ If it worked, I would be able to win easier, and if it didn't, there would be nothing to lose, which is why I did that. I was consistently checking to see if he would scan the lurkers, for which I would then act accordingly.
- Your target for the OSL this season?
▲ It would be to meet only Zergs this season and to get far into the tournament. My target is to at least get into the semifinals.
- Aren't you worried that there might be too many Zergs?
▲ There are so many Zergs that I had hoped other Zergs would lose as I watched their games. I am rather disappointed that by.hero, whom I am close with was eliminated, but I think that it is a good thing for me.
I want to play well while the other Zergs perform poorly and shine.
- Any final words?
▲ After Proleague yesterday, our team was on a break but
GuemChi, Actually and Wrath still helped me with practice. Also, Actually asked me to mention him in my interview, but since I faced a Terran today, I don't really feel thankful.Sources: Group G interview, Group H interview
