Q Your feelings on making the finals?
A I’m extremely happy. Including last season, this is my second consecutive qualification and because I feel like I’ve shown stronger play this season to get this far, I’m very happy. Also, because I feel like I’m showing the fans that I’m continually growing and developing as a player, I’m very happy with myself.
Q It does seem that you’ve gotten even stronger since last season. Is there a secret method behind this?
A Because I’m still young I feel like I learn and adapt very fast (laughs). I can also feel that I’m growing and developing as a player myself. I’ll try to utilize this fact and work hard so that I can win both individual leagues.
Q Though your play has been very strong, do you believe luck has been on your side as well?
A I do. I feel like this period of recent games have played out the smoothest. With luck on my side like this, I’ll have to try and avoid creating a huge accident (laughs).
Q What did you anticipate the score would be?
A I came expecting a 3:1 win. I thought I would win sets 1 and 2 but I was a bit nervous about set 3 on Fighting Spirit. However, the third set played out smoother than I thought so I was able to win rather easily.
Q Did you expect
free’s build in set 1? A I noticed
free hyung likes going double nexus. I came prepared to counter that exact strategy. Protoss lately come up with strategies they feel will be the best to beat me but I in turn confront that by preparing strategies to counter theirs.Q In BoX matches do you predict what strategy your opponent will use next?
A Rather than simply predicting, I try to adjust accordingly moment by moment. I always try to think at a higher level than my opponent and throughout all my games I always think about what my opponent might do next. I think this method helps me a lot.
Q In the 3rd set you went double command. Were you confident?
A I was confident and I also didn’t want to use standard play. I felt that
free hyung came prepared with an all-in strategy for Fighting Spirit but by getting control of set 3 I think it played out easily. Q You set a new record for yourself of 13 straight wins against protoss.
A I was surprised when I heard that I beat my personal record. I’m really happy that I set a new record for myself. Through hard practice I want to increase the number of consecutive wins even further.
Q Who do you want to play in the finals?
A Nowadays I’m almost thirsty to play zerg. For the finals, though playing
Jaedong hyung would be great, I would also like to play Calm hyung as well. Though both players are difficult opponents, because they’re strong players I feel that matches against them would be entertaining. I want to have a fun match. Q You’re the first player in history to qualify for both league finals two seasons in a row.
A I’m happy that I was able to set such a record. I feel I should play even better in the future. Since I got gold and silver last time, this time I want to win both leagues.
Q How do you plan on spending your time until the finals?
A I'm in really good condition nowadays. In the remaining time, I’ll keep on eye on who I’ll end up facing and depending on who it is, I’ll spend the rest of the time working on analyzing what I must do to defeat them.
Q You achieved a lot in this month of May alone.
A I’ve promised my fans I would always show a continually growing and developing side of me. Because I feel like I’ve kept my word, I’m very happy. I’ll continue to grow in the future as well.
Q Last words you want to say?
A
Violet hyung and Stats helped me practice like it was their own semi-final game despite the fact that it was their free time. Using this spot I want to tell them how thankful I am. I’m happy about the locations for the two finals. I think I’ll be able to have an awesome finals match in both places. I’ll make sure to win and in order to also win the best player award later on, I’ll work hard as well.source: daily esports & used bits and pieces of fomos to corroborate.
