- Thoughts on your first all-kill this season?
▲ I'm so happy I can't explain it. I thought that I can perform an all-kill someday, but I was stressed out because I kept losing. Like last game, I kept losing in crucial situations causing my team to lose. It feels really good to come out first and finish the game. I don't even remember when I last all-killed, and I feel like "So this is how it feels" (laughs).
- In all honesty, the all-kill is a bit late.
▲ It's true that I haven't been playing well, and I knew it too so I was always conscious of it, making me play worse. I got a little less confident, and because of that I couldn't show my old form. I think today's victory will help me out a lot.
- Were you confident of a lead-off all-kill?
▲ After last game, a lot was on my mind. But the manager asked me if I wanted to be sent out first today, and I felt like by now, I wanted to do an all-kill and test myself. I didn't assure myself of an all-kill, so I only practiced up to Game 2. I wasn't expecting an all-kill, but the wins kept me going.
- You said you only practiced up to Game 2; did you expect Stork?
▲ I didn't. I expected a Protoss, but not Stork. But I think that actually helped me. I felt a lot better after I got rid of the ace quickly.
- You faced some difficulties in the first game, when did you know that you had won?
▲ I think I got the upper hand when we clashed in the center of the map. I think I won because the opponent is a rookie. I didn't play particularly well.
- Against Stork, you brought out a Hydralisk timing rush.
▲ I got a little lucky, and I don't think Stork expected me to come out and play like this. I was only going to do one rush with the Hydralisks, and then go into macro mode.
- It must be a while since you played a fiery Terran like Turn.
▲ I knew what his style was like, but after I played him, he was even more aggressive. I was taken aback by how aggressive he was. I had a big advantage, but I made some mistakes too. It's been a while since I played such a frenzied game. I think he's the best in terms of aggression (laughs).
- How does it feel as a Zerg to play such an aggressive Terran?
▲ Personally, I think it's better to play someone that pressures you that hard. It's more fun, and I like to kill each other's units.
- You had a build order disadvantage against Great.
▲ I was at a little danger because I saw my opponent's build so late, but the map is affected so much by build orders that I just let fate take its course. I somehow won.
- You're not playing bad per se, but people are saying "He's playing bad for being Jaedong".
▲ I personally feel I'm doing okay, but I think people react more than usual to every loss. Because of that, I thought "Maybe I'm really doing terribly", which made me feel uneasy. I was practicing the same, but it stressed me out because I kept losing. I get stressed easily compared to most people, so I think I was affected more. It wasn't easy, but I'm happy that I won when I needed it.
- This is your 32nd victory and you're heading upwards in the individual win rankings, don't you have any regrets about falling out of the race?
▲ Not at all. My teammates are playing great, and the team has a great atmosphere. The coaching staff gives everyone equal opportunity, and everyone feels motivated. I think the rest of the games are going to go well too.
- The next opponent is Winners' League's undisputed leaders, KT.
▲ I think they're the strongest opponents because they have Flash and are in first place. Because they're such a difficult opponent, I am going to practice more carefully. We're in second place ourselves, so we can't speak too early about who would win, I think if we play together like we have so far, we can win.
- You're coming close to the first player with 200 Proleague wins.
▲ It would be really great to set the record for the first time in history. There are still a few wins left, so I want to get them ASAP. I think the all-kill came at an appropriate time.
- People are talking about you quitting Twitter.
▲ I'm not someone who likes leaving my words somewhere. I started it and thought "I should quit this soon", but I never got the timing. And then a few days ago I randomly got the urge to quit, but maybe the timing was a little inappropriate (laughs). People don't need to worry.
- Final thoughts?
▲ Thank you to the manager who believed in me and sent me out first. I practiced harder and concentrated harder than any other occasion, and thank you to Shy and Dear for helping me. Thanks to my parents at home who are always watching, and I want to reassure my dad not to worry. Thanks to the fans too.
