MSL Survivor Group 4
2-0 Winner: (Z)Hydra
“Satisfying games for the first time”


[image loading]


Q: It’s your first ever MSL qualification. How do you feel?
A: I’ve played televised games for a while and I’m happy that I played satisfying games for the first time. I think I’m getting used to televised matches every time. I want to continuously work hard.

Q: Your group wasn’t easy
A: I thought it was doable in the beginning. My team has good Terrans, so I thought I had a chance.

Q: You had to practice multiple matchups. Wasn’t it hard practicing?
A: (Z)Orion had to practice all 3 matchups, so it was easier than that. That’s why I put a lot of weight on my 1st match.

Q: Did you analyze your opponents’ styles before today?
A: Rather than worry about style, I prepared a lot so that I would be confident no matter what they do.

Q: Did your coaches want you do something specific for today?
A: Nothing really, but (P)fOru told me to do well.

Q: Your queen usage was good.
A: Terrans these days come out with a huge army. I thought it would be good to use ensnare, and after thinking about it, I decided to use it this time.

Q: Do you want to play against someone specific in the main leagues?
A: I don’t have anything specific. I just want to work hard to leave no regrets. My first goal was to advanced through the preliminaries to the MSL, and now my goal is Ro16 and I want to take it step by step from here.

Q: Anything else?
A: I thank (Z)Orion, (Z)MIsO, (T)sKyHigh, and (T)Rush for helping me practice.

Q 생애 첫 MSL 본선에 진출했다. 소감은.
A 방송 경기를 꽤 했는데 처음으로 만족하는 게임을 해서 기분이 좋다. 점점 방송 경기에 적응을 하는 것 같다. 앞으로도 더 열심히 하고 싶다.

Q 쉽지 않은 대진이었다.
A 처음에 할만하다고 생각했다. 우리 팀 테란도 잘하기 때문에 이길수 있을 것이라 생각했다.

Q 여러 종족전을 준비해야 했다. 연습에 어려움은 없었나.
A (권)수현이형 같은 경우에 세 종족을 모두 상대해야 했는데 그것보다 쉽다고 생각했다. 그래서 첫 경기에 비중을 두고 연습했다.

Q 상대 스타일을 의식하고 경기에 임했나.
A 스타일이 어떻다기 보다는 내가 준비를 많이 했기때문에 무엇을 하던 자신이 있는 상태였다.

Q 코칭스태프가 특별히 주문한 것은 없나.
A 딱히 그런 것 보다는 이재훈 코치님이 잘하라고 말씀해주셨다.

Q 퀸 활용이 좋았다.
A 요즘 테란들이 큰 병력을 모아서 나온다. 그래서 퀸의 인스네어를 쓰면 좋을 것 같아서 쓸까 말까 고민을 하다가 이번에 쓰게 됐다.

Q 본선에서 만나고 싶은 선수가 있나.
A 딱히 없다. 열심히 해서 후회 없는 경기를 하고 싶다. 예선에서는 일단 MSL 진출이 목표였다. 지금 목표는 일단 16강 진출이고 한 계단씩 올라가고 싶다.

Q 하고 싶은 말은.
A 연습을 도와준 (권)수현이형과 (한)두열이, (조)병세, (유)영진이에게 고맙다고 말하고 싶다.



MSL Survivor Group 4
2-1 Winner: (T)Midas
“Goal after coming back is to win”


[image loading]


Q: You’ve came back to MSL after 8 season. How do you feel?
A: I’m extremely happy.

Q: You’ve come above most people’s predictions.
A: I thought I could do it. If I just prepared enough, I believed that I could definitely advance. I practiced rather hard for today.

Q: It wasn’t an easy group.
A: I thought (T)Leta would be the most difficult opponent. However, because there were 2 Zergs in the group, I didn’t focus on TvT. I thought I would have the best chance of advancing if I only practiced TvZ. I was always confident in TvT, so if I have the early advantage, I’m confident that I can beat anyone.

Q: You’re classified as a veteran
A: Honestly, I don’t think I’m that old. It’s one thing if I’m in my 30s, but I’m only in my mid 20’s so I think I can achieve anything. Confidence is always the best.

Q: You’ve been showing good results after your transfer
A: I don’t think that’s true. I should’ve come through last season, but it took a while. It was about time that I advanced, so that’s why I think advanced this time.

Q: How’s rivalry among your teammates?
A: Our Terrans are really good. (T)Mind plays a really good TvT, so I have a lot to learn. I sometimes teach him as well. He’s always amazed at my usage of resources. We always sit next to each other. He’s probably one of top 5 nicest progamers that I’ve seen, so our current relationship is a win-win.

Q: What came across your mind when you were absent from the main leagues for a year?
A: I wanted to advance. There were times where I was good at both individual leagues and Proleague. I thought it would be good to advance in individual leagues too. Therefore, I practiced in the practice rooms throughout the New Year’s break. My manager cooks well, so I had a lot of things to eat, and it was good for practicing.

Q: Your goal this season
A: I always said my goal is to win. After the preliminaries, I said I would say it after making through the Survivor, so now I will really reach for that goal.

Q: It’s going to be your first group selection since a long time.
A: It’s almost been a year. MSL has a lot of people in the group selection, so I’m debating whether to be quiet. I don’t like to say something bad to others, so I might just do that.

Q: Anything else?
A: I thank my teammates for helping me practice, and my manager and coaches as well. I was lucky this time. I’ll work hard. I saw my fans in the individual leagues today, and I hope they cheer me on like they did in the past.

Q 8시즌만에 MSL 본선에 복귀했다. 소감은.
A 엄청나게 기쁘다.

Q 많은 이들의 예상을 뒤엎고 본선에 올랐다.
A 난 괜찮다고 생각했다. 준비만 열심히 한다면 충분히 올라가리라 생각했다. 그래서 나름대로 최대한 연습을 했다.

Q 쉽지 않은 조였다.
A 신상문이 가장 껄끄러운 상대라 생각했다. 하지만 저그가 2명이라 테란 동족전 준비를 많이 하지는 않았다. 아무래도 저그전에 집중을 하는 게 올라갈 가능성이 높다고 생각했다. 테테전은 원래 자신이있다. 유리하게만 시작한다면 누구에게도 지지않을 자신이 있다.

Q 노장으로 분류되는 상황이다.
A 솔직히 나이가 그렇게 많다고 생각하지 않는다. 30대가 되면 모르겠지만 20대 중반밖에 되지 않았기에 무엇이든 이룰 수 있다는 자신감이 있다. 자신감은 항상 최고다.

Q 이적 후 빠르게 성적을 내고 있다.
A 그렇지 않다고 생각한다. 지난 시즌에 올라왔어야 하는데 오래 걸렸다. 이번에 올라갈 때가 됐기 때문에 올라왔다고 생각한다.

Q 팀 내 경쟁은 어떤가.
A 우리 팀 테란들이 정말 잘한다. 그 중에 (박)성균이가 테테전을 제일 잘해서 배울 점이 많다. 내가 성균이에게 가르쳐주기도 한다. 성균이가 내 환상적인 자원관리에 감탄한다. 성균이와는 옆자리에 앉는다. 내가 본 프로게이머 중에 다섯 손가락 안에 들 정도로 착하다. 서로 윈윈하는 사이다.

Q 1년 동안 개인리그를 쉬면서 어떤 생각을 했나.
A 올라오고 싶었다. 개인리그와 프로리그 모두 잘할 때가 있었다. 개인리그에 올라갔으면 좋겠다고 생각했다. 그래서 이번 설 연휴에 되도록 연습실에서 보냈다. 감독님이 요리를 잘하셔서 먹을 것도 많고 연습하기 좋았다.

Q 이번 시즌 목표는.
A 목표가 우승이라는 말을 많이 했다. 예선을 통과했을 때는 올라간 후에 이야기하겠다고 했는데 올라왔으니 우승을 목표로 정말 열심히 하겠다.

Q 오랜만의 조지명식을 앞두고 있다.
A 거의 1년만의 조지명식이다. MSL 조지명식은 사람이 많아서 조용히 묻어갈까 생각 중이다. 남에게 싫은 소리 하는 것을 싫어해서 조용히 갈 것 같다.

Q 하고 싶은 말은.
A 연습 도와준 선수들에게 고맙고 감독님과 코치님들에게도 고맙다. 운이 좋았던 것 같다. 열심히 하겠다. 개인리그에서도 팬분들을 뵙게 됐는데 예전처럼 응원해주시길 바란다.

someone also pointed out (correctly, to my surprise - i had to immediately check TLPD) that midas has the third highest current vZ elo. isn't that's nuts considering how relatively under the radar he's been?

also he looked sharp last night, against good players too. go oldies!

Midas literally looks like an aging kid. I don't know how else to phrase it... his face looks so young, except from all the wear and tear of progaming life
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

Losing to hydra dropped him a lot though

anyway Good luck to Midas ! hope he gets deeper in the MSL

a lot of korean men look like that though. their face is young, but the way they dress themselves and carry themselves are much older.

true story: i once had a korean college classmate i thought was about 19-20 yrs old, turns out he was 30 something with a wife and baby on the way.

SKT is pretty good about not sending out slumping players to get raped. even last season Best had ~60% winrate because they stopped playing him at the start of his omfgfail period. ELO doesnt account for time, so since Midas hasnt lost alot of TvZ games since the end of his peak days, his ELO hasnt dropped much since then
