(Z)sAviOr: "The fans' cheers gave me strength."

by reporter Lee Jung Han

[image loading]



-How do you feel about advancing to the MSL?
▲Rather than having any other feelings, I am just relieved. I'm happy because I advanced to the MSL and I have been performing poorly in the proleague lately. Since I was able to get into the MSL without much difficulty, I feel like I gained much more confidence.

-You blocked the bunker rush very well.
▲I came expecting a bunker rush, but I didn't expect to be playing with so few resources. When I saw the bunker with the drone that I was going to use to expand, I felt very pressured. I hurriedly went to mine out the side minerals to open up the ramp, so that I would be able to attack his main base, which was a huge help to me.

-Your performance in the proleague hasn't been very good.
▲I feel that all my opponents prepared their builds very well, especially for the crucial moments. As I played my games, I realized that I didn't prepare enough. I must be more thorough about my preparation.

-Do you want another MSL title?
▲Well, of course I want to win it again. But for now, I will just concentrate on what lies right in front of me, so that I can win, no matter what. That's all.

-It seems that you've lost a lot of confidence lately, as opposed to the way you used to be.
▲It's not so much that something's changed, but that I know myself very well. When I play well, my confidence shows in the way I play my games. However, I know that I still need to put in a lot of work. I just act based on the way I feel.

-Your fans' support is very impressive.
▲After the game was over, they cheered really loudly for me and I just wanted to thank them for that. Since I wasn't warmed up for the first game, I was wondering what would happen if I lost, but since I won, I was able to play well in the winner's game. I hope to return the favor by doing as well in the proleague as I have done today.

-Do you have any last words?
▲Since there is a new type of flu going around, I hope that everyone will watch out for their health. I would also like to thank the protoss teammates that helped me and I would also like to thank Samsung KHAN's (P)Stork for his help.

Thanks~

(P)GuemChi: "I worked hard to learn to enjoy my games."
"My recent games have been tough, but now I have recovered fully (from mini-slump)."


[image loading]


- Thoughts on getting into the MSL?
▲ I feel very pressured about my Proleague games, whereas I feel none for my individual league games. That is why I told myself to enjoy the games as I practiced. After I won today, I saw (T)UpMaGiC looking devastated. I too know the pain of being eliminated, so I wasn't too happy as I felt sorry for him.

- You won by going for a timing rush and destroying the missle turret.
▲ I actually only practiced for my first game, and played the rest on past experience. When the (final) game started, I thought about whether I should go for an all-in rush, before deciding to eventually do so. However, my opponent was too well-prepared, so I was slowly giving up. But when I saw my opponent's sim-city, I saw a weak point and attacked, and with that attack taking down the missle turret, I was able to take the game.

- Practicing for the MST does not seem to have been easy.
▲ My recent results in Proleague are not so good. That is why preparing for the individual league was tough, but I was able to practice thanks to my teammates who dedicated small portion of their time for me. I lost many games in Proleague, but now, many of my teammates are in the individual leagues. Moreover, we have also recently won a match, so I expect a change of atmosphere within our team.

- You lost the first game, which you practiced hard for.
▲ I practiced mainly for the first game, and up til mid-game, I was doing fine. However, I let my guard down once I started thinking that I was ahead. I think (Z)sAviOr won because he did not lose focus until the end.

- Your target for this MSL?
▲ I worked hard to enjoy my games, regardless of whether I lose or win, so I did not worry too much about qualifying for the MSL. Even in the MSL, I want to enjoy my games without feeling any stress. That is my target.

- You are not making that many appearances in Proleague.
▲ That is true, but I feel that if I enjoy my individual league games, my results will improve, and from there, I will be given more opportunities to play in the Proleague.

- Any final words?
▲ I slackened off recently and did not listen to what my coach had to say, so I think I may have made him disappointed. But now, I will listen to him and practice hard. I was very tired recently, but my team's (P)mingu-hyung gave me good advice and looked after me. I am thankful to him, and I would also like to thank the fans who came down to support us. In my final game today, I used an all-in strategy to win, but I too lost many times to all-in builds so I know the pain of losing in such a manner. I hope Upmagic does not take this too deeply, and I hope he picks himself once again and produce good results for his next game.

It's nice to see that sAviOr was intelligent enough to know UpMagiC's style before the game and adjust his game plan accordingly.

Sorry, I was doing it in class and my battery died.
I just knew that there were a lot of savior fans (and I'm a CJ fan), so I tried to do it as fast as possible, since it wasn't up yet. I will do Guemchi tonight, because I have class all day, until 9pm.
Apologies for the wait for anyone interested, hopefully someone else will do it.

I want what he's wearing. If TL sells this, I will buy it.

I was so happy Savior made it out. When I found out at work this morning, I probably looked stupid raising my arms in triumph.

I really hope he's able to do well both in MSL and proleague. Savior is easily still one of my favorite players, and I hope that if he doesn't return to his previous form, that he's at least able to put up great results.

MJY, I believe! Always!

It's been hard for GuemChi to get PL playing time because the Stars seem dedicated to a Zero/Kwanro/Free/Terran lineup lately, maybe he'll get a few more chances if he performs well in MSL.
