- Thoughts on being 2-0 in the Ro16?
▲ I am happy that my results reflected my practice.
- You displayed the Hydra Wave.
▲ It was because of how the opponent was playing. Kal decided to go for harass-based play, thus I knew there would be a timing where he will be weak. I made use of that timing window. The entrance was wide, which made it difficult (for him) to defend against the Hydra Wave. Some people stated that this map was good for Zergs, but I did not feel that way during practice, which made me worried for today's match. Luckily, I managed to win on this map.
- With your win, Paralyze now has a chance to advance to the Round of 8.
▲ Paralyze helped me with practice as though it was his own match. He requested that since he was helping me with practice, he would want me to (win today's game and) help him advance as well, which made to work even harder.
- You will be facing Flash next.
▲ It's really tough. It's pressurizing since he's currently the best player, but I feel that it depends on how you prepare for it. In fact, I really want to beat Flash. Flash has dominated for so long that I think it would be interesting if he starts performing not-so-well. I will practice real hard.
- Any final words?
▲ Before my match, Coach Cha adviced me for the game. He told me how not to get nervous, and I credit today's results to him. Thank you very much.

- How do you feel to have caught up 1-1 after being down a match?
▲ I feel like I've escaped death. If I lost today, it meant elimination for me, thus I was very nervous. I was really worried before the match, but I think luck was on my side. I was really lucky with my scouting, build order and other stuff.
- Were you greatly shocked by your loss against HiyA?
▲ I think I was more in a state of disappointment than shock. I played really bad that day, so I was angry with myself. After losing to HiyA that day, I realised my flaws in my games against Terrans. I hope to advance to the Round of 8 together with him.
- How did you practice?
▲ I could not practice much. But it was a map I practiced often on, thus it was not a problem. I tend to get tired easily if I practice a lot nowadays, so I'm not overextending myself. To do that, I'm focusing on taking care of my condition. I'm trying to do self-reviews of my games to further improve myself.
- You will be playing against
HoGiL, another zerg.▲ I am confident. Because it is a ZvZ, I do not feel pressured at all. I hope HiyA can win and we can advance together. I do not want to play a tiebreaker (laughs).
- Another final words?
▲ I practiced real hard for tomorrow's game. Yesterday and today was important, but our team is not performing well in Proleague, so I'm focusing on that. I will be real sad if I manage to win yesterday (MSL) and today's (OSL) games but lose tomorrow's. That's why I really hope to win tomorrow's game. Also, the weather is really cold but fans are still coming down, which makes me want to play the games even more. I hope fans continue to cheer us on at the stadiums.

- How do you feel to have won a game after being behind two games?
▲ It would have been better for us to have faced each other with 1 wins each, but I lost my first game (in the Ro16) very badly, putting a lot of pressure on me for this game. But it also made me hungrier for a win this game. I will try my best to win the rest of my games.
- Practice must have been tough.
▲ At first, both of us did not practice, but I managed to get help from Woongjin players a few days ago. I think it was real tough for me to practice with my teammates.
- Shine's attempt at tying for the longest winning streak was denied by you.
▲ That was one of the factors that made this game real tough. Shine's important title (of longest winning streak tie) was on the line, but I would be guaranteed an elimination if I lost. I really dislike team-kills.
- You played solidly, as you would know about Shine's playing style.
▲ I did not really think that Shine would go for pool-first. That is why I even thought of going 14cc, but I made a rax first just in case. Thankfully, that decision turned out to be a good one.
- You are playing Sea next.
▲ My TvT has been good lately. So I am confident. I will definitely win.
- Any final words?
▲ I want to thank Woongjin's
Crazy-Hydra and Neo.G_Soulkey, who helped me with practice. hOn_sin also gave me some good advice while watching us practice. I managed to win today because of them.Source: Fomos
Fantasy: "I was not pleased with my performance today. I have to reflect on my gameplay.""I will definitely beat
Hydra and advance into the Round of 8."![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1292590095_1.jpg)
- You managed to win a game after being down a game.
▲ I won today but I was not pleased with my performance today. I will have to reflect on my gameplay.
- Why were you not pleased?
▲ I don't think I could have gotten into such a disadvantageous situation, but I think I made it that way. The game today did not turn out as smooth as my practice games. My macro was sub-par as well.
- You let that arbiter recall way too easily.
▲ In practice, I played very little cross-positions. That was why I let the recall succeed so easily.
- Your first loss in the Round of 16 (against
Modesty) must have been very disappointing.▲ I felt really sour after the end of the game, because if the Zerg spawns at 3 and Terran at 6, it is impossible for the Terran to fend off the mutalisk harass. The mineral formation and positional imbalance makes it hard to fend off mutalisks, and the air-to-air rush distance is really short as well. I think I was just disappointed that I was very unlucky (to have spawned at 6).
- Now, you have to play against Hydra with the Round of 8 advancement ticket on the line.
▲ At first, I wanted to advance together with Hydra, but now it is impossible. I am sorry to Hydra, but I want to advance high up into the OSL, so I will definitely win my next match.
- Any final words?
▲ Usually, only one of our coaches come to watch us play but today, all three coaches came down. I was able to win because of their presence, and I want to thank
By.Sun who helped me a lot with practice, even until right before I came here. Also, my keyboard got stuck today, but
Hyuk lent me his keyboard, so I want to thank him for that as well.Source: Fomos
