"I will be the greatest Zerg player"

[image loading]


-You've put yourself on the shortlist as the 7th "Royal Roader".

This match was the hardest I ever practiced since I started out as a progamer. To be honest it hasn't hit me yet. There's too many people to thank so I'll get to doing that gradually.

-It was a difficult start losing the first game.

I didn't prepare special builds in particular or anything. I approached the game in terms of game management than practice. From the 2nd game it began to kick in. In the first game I didn't expect that Song Byung Goo (Stork) would fast expand. So it was hard.

-Did you expect to win in the second game?

-I expected him to be complacent when I started to attack with mutalisks. Recently the trend is that you increase drone count after spire tech but I went against this and used it to my advantage. I won because he only had the cannons and corsair to defend his base.

-What will you do with all the money?

I've not really given it much thought. For now I'll use it to repay everyone I need to and give the rest to my parents.

-Your mother seemed to be supporting you with all her heart.

It was the first time I had played with her watching. I think I won because she was there. When I started off as a progamer my parents really opposed the idea so I wanted to make up for it by trying my hardest.


-To your fans.

I'm thankful for everyone who came to support me. There were those who were even more nervous than me! I'm relieved that I managed to make up for their support. Also at the end of every game coach Han came and gave his best advice. I'd like to use this opportunity to thank him.

-Many people predicted Song Byung Goo (Stork) to come out on top.

From here on forward I'm going to put all my effort to be perceived by everyone as a strong player. I'm sure there were many people who predicted Byung Goo hyung's victory but I'll make sure nothing as such happens from now on.

-Where do you go now as a player?

Theres a lot of talk of the winner's curse but I'm going to revert to my initial mentality. I'm still going to play my part in proleague and keep up my hard practice so I could hopefully hear from fans would be like "was this guy really the winner of OSL the other day?" Also from now on I hope to be a player who sets a good example and is admired for the younger players. I will sit on the Zerg throne.

-Translated from fighterforum.

Merry christmas from Santa and FireBlast!

Congratulations to Jaedong on his amazing win over Stork to win the OSL, however

I have to disagree with this quote. His beating down of stork does not prove to me that his zvp has improved much; I think he needs to beat Bisu in a match before I declare him Bonjwa.
