(Z)HoGiL: "I will practice so I can master zvz"

[image loading]



-How do you feel about winning?
▲I'm very happy about winning my first ZvZ in Proleague for a long time.

-You have received a lot of criticism due to your ZvZ.
▲As a gamer, I will probably have to play against many zergs during my career, so I figure that I will have to learn the matchup. I want to play more games against Zerg players so that I can raise my win/loss ratio. When you look at the players that are doing well, they all have good records against their own race. I want to be like that too.

-Why do you think your ZvZ is weak?
▲When you play zerg, I think that the ability to make quick decisions and having a good feel for the matchup is important, but when I play in televised games, I lack these. I make decisions slowly and I don't cope well with new situations, so I lose a lot. When I'm against terran or protoss players, I can get past these shortcomings, but I can't do this for my games against zergs.

-Lately, (Z)YellOw[ArnC] and (Z)type-b have been slumping, has this been beneficial to you?
▲If I am in the lineup, my goal is to win. But, Type-b hyung and yellow[arnc] hyung are good players, so they will get their skills back naturally over time.

-Your control was really good today.
▲Since I practiced a lot, I was confident in my micromanagement, but I feel that my macromanagement and my decision-making are somewhat poor. I have to compensate for these shortcomings.

-The team's mood doesn't seem to be that good lately.
▲Since our results have been bad, our team's mood has been bad as well. But listening to the transfers, it seems that our team is more active and more fun than other teams. Although we haven't been doing well and our mood has also been going down, we have to start winning, so that we can revive our team.

-You started the game with an advantageous build.
▲No matter how well I might be doing in a game, I don't play with the mindset that I won until I get the GG. So even today, I kept playing with the thought of "how can I get the GG?" However, it is correct that my build played a large role in my win.

-Do you have a goal for 2010?
▲In this new year, whenever I have games, I hope to get a win streak and a better win/loss ratio. I also have a bigger goal than these, but now is not the time to share it. I will just concentrate on these for now.

-Do you have any last words?
▲Whenever I have a game, coach Ju and coach Chun always gave me a lot of advice and paid a lot of attention to me so I would like to thank them. I am stubborn, so I am not good at accepting advice from others, but Coach Ju helped me control my mind, so I am getting better with this. Therefore, I wanted to thank him.

(T)Leta: "My game sense was very good today."

[image loading]



-You finished your first games of 2010 with two wins.
▲Although it was my first games of 2010, my game sense was very good today. I am very satisfied, it's a feeling that I wasn't even able to get last season when I was doing well. Therefore, I think I will do well this season and since I won two games today, I will keep working to stay spirited.

-How were today's games?
▲I was very satisfied since they went exactly the way I intended them to. I mastered a variety of styles so that I can show my strong force.

-Your TvP record hasn't been that great lately.
▲Since I've been losing a lot of TvPs, I have been trying to strengthen my weak points. As I thought and practiced, I shored up a lot of the areas where I had been lacking. I think that I've been trying to play too much of a harrass style (he says guerrilla), but I've fixed it, so I think that my record will be better in the future.

-Why did you use dropships today?
▲Even if my opponents know about it, they can't block it. But more important than my dropship play was the fact that I went out with a faster timing push.

-It must be very burdensome to have to carry the team.
▲If I were in the individual leagues like I used to be, it would have been difficult, but since I'm not, it's not so tiring. For now, I'm just concentrating on winning the games that I'm given.

-The entire team is slumping.
▲Last season, (Z)YellOw[ArnC] hyung did well and (P)Horang2 put in a lot of effort, but in this season, but (P)Horang2 is slumping very badly. If (P)Horang2 was doing well, he probably would have been able to bring us some wins, along with (Z)HoGiL. It seems that I'm doing a lot of interviews with (Z)HoGiL lately, but I wish (P)Horang2 could be doing an interview along with us.

-Now your team has a record of 2 wins and 6 losses in round 2. You still have a long way to go.
▲It's a shame because lately, our team's mood doesn't lift even if we win. Although I don't know how it'll turn out, I believe that if we just work hard, our team's spirits will lift naturally. I hope my teammates will not become frustrated and continue to work hard. I believe that if we work hard, better days are sure to come.

-Do you have any goals for 2010?
▲I wanted to win at the end of 2009 and have an interview, but sadly, I lost. But since I can have an interview like this in the new year, I feel good and I hope that I won't have an anticlimactic end to this year like I did to the last. I also want to win the MVP award.

-Do you have any last words?
▲I will definitely have good results in the new year so that my fans will be able to have an enjoyable year. I also want to have a touching game. I will work hard, so if you support me, I will definitely repay your support. I wish you much luck for the New Year!

Thanks for the interview. The lighthearted, good-humored character of the Sparkyz seems to really be lacking.

I feel bad for Leta - right now his team is basically counting on him to go 2-0 in order to win a match... they were playing against ACE ffs.

good to see his is still working to improve into an even more ballerific player

Hogil won a game, AND his team won? His fans must be savoring this interview, since it's probably a really rare happening

hogil: first there's zvz, then there's jvz. and after hogil practices zvz for hours without end, it'll be the new generation of zvz: the hvz. but that's not gonna happen.
