Team 8: “We prepared strategies with a mind to win”

[image loading]

With a string of strategic plays, Team 8 beat SK Telecom T1 in just 53 minutes. (Z)Jaedong’s 5pool, (P)Tyson’s 3gate all in rush, and (P)Jaehoon’s quick zealot reaver attack took down (T)Ssak, (P)Bisu, (P)BeSt. Team 8: “with a mind to win no matter what, our strategies ran away with the match from set 1.”

Q: You followed up your complete loss with a complete win.
(P)Jaehoon: In the last match, I felt bad for my teammates because I lost so fast. If I’d won, the momentum might have been different.

Q: Were you guys expecting a 3-0
(P)Tyson: Our team has a lot of strong players, so I thought as long as I won, it’d be a 3-0.
(P)Jaehoon: With the score at 2-0, I was sure I could make it 3-0.

Q: You prepared a 5pool today
(Z)Jaedong: I thought it might be good to use it once in a while. Honestly, right before the match I almost changed my mind, but my coach reassured me. I was single-minded from then on. And because I had good luck with starting positions I was able to win.

Q: How does it feel to win with such surprise tactics
(Z)Jaedong: It always feels good to win. Because it ended so quickly I feel unfulfilled, but the win feels good like any other win.

Q: Your strategies seemed really prepared
(P)Jaehoon: You could tell we’d prepared a lot. As soon as I spawned at 9, I thought I’d won. It gave me confidence because Chain Reaction has a lot of income imbalance in starting locations. We were stressed out polishing and honing them countless times.
(P)Tyson: Although I mentioned (P)Kal in the tv interview, I didn’t learn it from him, but our ex-teammate (P)Lazy. We made it together, then Kal helped us refine it through practice. I want to thank both players.

Q: Did you have any worries about facing (P)Bisu
(P)Tyson: I played it with my eyes shut, flat-out assuming no dt builds. I played thinking I’d win no matter what happened.
(P)Jaehoon: I think you did a good job of it (laughs).

Q: You play STX next.
(P)Jaehoon: STX has really strong momentum right now. (T)Last and (P)mini are pretty good but if (Z)Jaedong takes out their ace (T)Bogus I can see them falling.
(P)Tyson: I’ll go in trusting (Z)Jaedong.
(Z)Jaedong: It doesn’t matter to me who I face. The important thing is to win no matter who it is.

Q: Anything you want to say.
(P)Jaehoon: I was going to do something for my mother’s birthday on Jan. 29, but I forgot. I was always sorry I had never sent her a present or said thank you [t/n tsk tsk, Jaehoon]. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to her.
(P)Tyson: It feels good to take down the mighty SKT1. We’ll close out round 2 by beating STX as well.
(Z)Jaedong: Compared to other teams, it feels like our fans are the most vocal and passionate. Although we’re in last place right now, I want to pay back their embarrassment by slowly climbing up the rankings and reaching the post season.

Yeah I'm interested in the income imbalance too, I assume it has something to do with mineral alignment and pathing making that starting position much more advantageous, i.e you can get your timing much better earlier with fewer probes or something like that.
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

I remember GGplay commenting on income imbalance on Python back in the day (where he beat Iris anyway). I guess when you practice on a single map thousands of times, you begin to pick up on such things.

I think regardless of the Drone cancelling, a 5 pool will still work.

Drone cancelling is just showmanship and to alert the commentators/audience to the fact that he's going to be cheesing Since cancelling units doesn't make you lose resources it makes no difference.

Man, I was very impressed by Jaehoon. I've maybe misjudged him, I used to always think he was bad. Nice with a win for T8 and for JD!
