[SPOILER] Woongjin vs WeMade WINNER Interviews!

Feelings on your first victory in the 4th round.
- I didn’t get to participate in the 3rd round and so I’m happy that I was able to win in my first match in the 4th round. In the future I will work hard to do well so I can continue to play.

If you were to assess today’s match?
- During practice I prepared for a long management game. I think it worked out as planned. Because it was a long match I was able to win.

In the early part of the match it seemed you wavered a bit because of your opponent’s harass.
- I think I was nervous because it had been so long since I played. I think that’s why I wavered so much. When I was able to gain control after my opponent’s first arbiter recall, I knew I could win.

In the 3rd round, PianO did really well.
- There are areas that PianO hyung does well in and I lack in. I think that’s why I didn’t get to play much. As I helped out with the new maps in the 4th round, I prepared strategies and builds and prepared with the mindset that I must use them in the proleague. As I watched PianO hyung, I thought to myself that I must also do well and perform in the 4th round.

Are you confident for the 4th round?
- In the past when I came out I became very nervous but now my nerves have calmed down a bit. I believe that’s how I got to this stage where I am able to show what I prepared in practice. Because of this I am confident for the 4th round.

Last words?
- I am thankful to all those people who helped me practice.

You helped out in your team’s victory.
- Because I was playing on a zerg favorable map I knew that if I lost it’d be a big blow. So honestly I didn’t feel that happy.

You won rather simply.
- I practiced a lot and it really is a favorable map for zerg. However, terran also has a good chance if they anticipate what zerg will do and play accordingly. I think that’s why a terran player came out today but it just didn’t work out well.

You probably didn’t expect to play terran on Battle Royal.
- At first I was expecting a zerg player so when Baby came out I was taken aback. However, as I practiced and realized zerg was favorable on the map, I felt reassured. As I prepared, terran players prepared many diverse builds and I even lost to the first strategy I faced. I was a bit nervous since I wasn’t sure what Baby would prepare today but thankfully he used a build I practiced against many times so I was able to play well.

You guys have probably forgotten about your 0:3 loss in the first match by now.
- That day… the matches and the thoughts going through my head… I just want to forget it all (laughs).

It seems that Woongjin is doing very well lately.
- In the 3rd round, I wasn’t able to perform well but my teammates stepped up. So in the 4th round, I want to perform well to keep this positive atmosphere going.

There’s only 1 win difference you guys and 2nd place now.
- Because our win rate isn’t that high I think it’ll be hard but if we just ride this momentum I believe we can easily get inside the top 6. Of course, my goal is not top 6 but to get even higher than that.

Last words?
- It’s about finals time for all the fans and they must be so busy but I hope they do well on their exams and once those are over I hope they will come and continue to support our games.

Currently you are on a 4 game winning streak.
- During practice although my win rate was high, because my gameplay was not clean I worried a lot. Since Mind is a very good player, I was very nervous but I’m happy that I was able to win.

You made resources your first priority.
- As I practiced, I realized that with my playing style if I took my nat earlier then my gameplay ran smoother. That’s why I played that way.

It seemed you weren’t pumping a lot of units.
- I anticipated that my opponent would wait until he was upgraded. Because I practiced against a strategy where my opponent expanded early, I was able to countermeasure against this appropriately. Because my first arbiter with full mana was hit with EMP, it became useless. So afterwards I was very careful in managing my units. Since I had a lot of expansions, I knew if I just held on I would gain the advantage.

What’s your goal for the 4th round?
- I wanted to win the All Time Wins but the gap has widened so much so I’m a bit disappointed. Currently I’m working hard so that our team can get in the top 6. I will definitely accomplish this goal.

Lately it seems all your gameplay against all 3 races has become consistent.
- Lately I haven’t played against protoss that much so I’m not sure but during practice my stats are good. The next match is against STX and I want to play against Kal. With good gameplay I want to defeat Kal who is one of the 6 dragons and regain my confidence.

Last words?
- Today I promised the fans that I would have a ceremony but because preparing for the match itself was so difficult I didn’t get to prepare a ceremony. I’m very sorry about that and although this is something I say often I promise that in the next match I will prepare a ceremony to show. In order to help out, I hope fans will come to my cafe and upload a ceremony video for reference.
