[Interview] Coach of OSL Finals Winner

CJ Entus's manage/head coach Cho Gyu Nam: EffOrt's win is not just a win for himself.


- EffOrt became the OSL champion today, how do you feel?
▲ Truly very happy, it felt just like when XellOs won the Olympus OSL.


- As a matter of fact many experts predicted a Flash victory.
▲ Although I'm talking in hindsight, but I still must say that the pre-match predictions were too rash. During the preparation for the finals I already saw hopes of winning through EffOrt's performance. I felt that this time he definitely won't play mediocre games. After the 4th set I could already see the face of a champion on EffOrt.

- EffOrt was dangerously behind 0:2 at one point.
▲ Today's match was absolutely extraordinary. Oddly enough, I was feeling strangely calm when he was down 0:2. In the end he won, so I can say this out now (laugh). I didn't give him any specific advice, I saw the other players gave him some build order suggestions. I never felt uneasy, I never thought he would lose. I believed in EffOrt.

- There was a re-game for the first set, you did not protest against it strongly.
▲ Actually I would usually protest against something like that, but today's mood was differen't from the get go. At the time EffOrt scouted Flash's build order so we were at an advantage, but because it was such an important match, EffOrt would definitely be affected negatively if I started raging.

- EffOrt winning today would no doubt bring positive influence to CJ.
▲ Movie also got into the OSL final last season, but this time it is even more important. I have always emphasized the importance of individual leagues for my players, because it will definitely affect their performance in SPL. EffOrt's win is not just a win for himself, it will bring a positive influence to the entire team. I'm sure this will greatly motivate our team in SPL from now on.

- Do you have anything to say to the fans?
▲ There has been alot of bad news lately, but today we saw the love and passion from the fans, and it is proof that esport will have a bright future ahead. If the fans weren't passionate, they wouldn't be angry. The ones who left were those who have left, but I hope everyone would see more truth about the people who have stayed. If everyone can believe in us, and supporting us as always, we promise that we will repay everyone's kindness with even more exciting games.
