[Interview]Hwaseung Oz vs Airforce Ace Winners - Page 2

How do you feel about winning?
We already had multiple opportunities to score 3 consecutive wins. This was a goal that our team really wanted to achieve and I'm glad that I was able to be a part of it.

You used an exciting lurker-ling strategy.
It's a build that's been around for a while but wasn't shown much on TV. RuBy recommended it strongly and I expected HiyA to go 8rax FE. The basic foundations were created by Ruby and I just polished it.

It must have felt good when your strategy worked.
It's a very risky strategy but Hiya played as predicted and I was sure I could finish him. I resolved to go in with no regrets so I was able to win comfortably.

New recruits are coming.
Personally it doesn't affect me that much. I think they'll be a big help to the team. I have high hopes since they are good players.

You reach your goal of 10 wins if you beat STX in your next match.
Their Terran line is strong so for a Zerg player like me, it's not bad. We must beat them to reach 10 wins so I will practice extra hard.

Any last words?
Actually, it was my mother's birthday yesterday. I really wanted to win today and give and interview and am super happy that I am able to. A few days ago, some dude (don't know how to translate this guy's title) wished me to win twice in a day. I said my skills weren't yet good enough and he told me to win 3-1 then. It's amazing how that worked out.
I also want to thank the amateurs and FBH who helped me practice and Ruby as well for recommending me this strat.

Your thoughts on finally winning after losing 3 times in a row?
I felt bad for losing all those times and am somewhat relieved now.

You reached 99 wins.
I got worried about leaving Ace before reaching 100 wins after my 6-loss streak. It's a lot later than what I had initially hoped, but I want to reach 100 wins in the 3 games i have left.

How was your match today?
I thought it was going well in the beginning but I accidentally pressed the stop key and lost my corsairs and researched Zealot speed and storm waaaaay too late. I thought I was gonna lose but thankfully the gap between our builds was too great. Strangely, whenever I play with Killer I play crappy games, where I'm always attacking and Killer's just defending. I predicted that I would get to play Killer so I think I was ahead on that level.

Your victory destroyed Oz's chances of advancing to the playoffs.
I am in Airforce Ace now and just like how I did my best for Oz back then, I think I should work hardest for Ace right now. It does kind of suck that I destroyed the hopes of my old team.

It must have been hard to be on a losing streak.
This happened in the past too where during summer my play suffered. I practiced hard but I think I managed myself too poorly. I'm eating well now and keeping myself in good condition now which is why I think I was able to win.

Your resolves for the remaining games?
For Casey, Reach, and myself, this could be the last proleague games on Airforce Ace so I want to leave a good lasting impression. I really want to see Casy win a game in these last few games. And more than anything else, I want to reach 10 wins for Airforce Ace.

Anything else you want to say?
I was webcamming with some dude (same guy as above) and I told him that if I won this match, it would be my 99th win. He promised me he'd bring flowers to all 3 remaining sets for me. Personally, I'd like to reach 100 wins on the first batch of flowers. I'd like to say I'm always greatful and will work hard.
