Every Starcraft fan cheered as everyone's favourite veteran Zerg played a great game of ZvT to beat Midas with a refreshing performance.
-It was a sweet victory.
It was hard practicing especially because the map is difficult for Zerg. However I knew I’d find plenty of solutions if I played enough. Previously the opponents came well prepared when I played using strategies that are widely used so I decided to try and play my own game. I used a build order that isn’t so readily used on that map to try and win this tricky fixture.
-You were bunker rushed early on.
It is easy to bunker rush on this map so it’s one of the first things I practiced against, although when he did in fact try it I found myself thinking “what the hell?” because by the time I saw it the bunker was near completion. If the opponent was in a horizontal or a diagonal position to me I would have found it, it was very bad luck.
And so the bunker was complete (laughs) So I thought up the best counter. I made sure his reinforcements couldn’t reach the bunker and killed it when zerglings arrived. It wasn’t a completely unexpected form of bunker rush so I fought it off. It helped that I practiced so much against this strategy.
-By now you must be used to bunker rushes.
Before every game I sit down and think whether or not the opponent is in a position to try it (laughs). I don’t hate it. I just need to be more diligent with my play. From now on I will improve my game so I wouldn’t lose to any surprise strategies like bunker rushes.
-Was it a split second decision to use stacked lurkers?
It’s very inconvenient to use ground units on this map so most players prefer the mutalisk tech. However from the beginning I knew I could win if I pressured him enough to be able to move the lurkers up. I had it in mind all throughout the game. If I played defensively I might’ve been in trouble but I was at an advantage once I killed his initial army with zerglings.
-You have regained your confidence.
As I mentioned in the group drawing, I’ve decided to be a lot stronger mentally this year. I want to take my play style to its limits. My desire to win is greater than ever before. I want to reach the very summit. I’ve managed to top the rankings amongst our team and gained a lot of confidence from that. I feel I’ve learnt how to win again.
-Did you feel any pressure going into the match?
I was felt a lot of pressure. I know my situation very well, this is my first game for some time andI had also lost my games in special event games. To make matters worse all my teammates were winning, and I even read an article that it was down to me to carry on a winning streak for KTF. Having read that I was more determined than before and I felt a certain responsibility not to lose.
-Recently you backed down from your position as captain?
I've mixed feelings about it. I wanted to lead the team to many wins and trophies but then I suffered in my individual performances. I’m disappointed I don’t have many successes to my name as a team captain. However at the same time I feel the burden has been lifted and it’s refreshing.
-Your goal this season?
To at least get a seed. Rather than set a goal I just don’t want to let myself down. Even if I fail I want to give a performance that won’t leave any regrets this season.

Does anyone else thing Korean interviews as weird "questions?" They're like "You got bunker rushed." If I were Yell0w I would be like "orly? I didn't notice"

it's more like "comments on this?" rather than a full question, but yeah it seems a little strange in english

theMarine? Are you sure? I thought it was Reach that took over captainship for the team. Something about his being in a better position to oversee the new comers.
Iono...but go go go YelloW!!!
