Leta, "It feels like it's been a long time since I've had 2 wins in a day"
"Right now it's important to win one game at a time"

[image loading]


In a day you had two wins to complete a reversal win.
- It feels like it’s been such a long time since I’ve had two wins in a day. During the Winner’s League I didn’t do so well, but just like I did in the 1st and 2nd round, in the future I want to perform well and have 2 wins in a day many more times.

In the 3rd set you attempted a very bold proxy barrack – were you certain about the build your opponent would be using?
- I anticipated that Really hyung would go 14 cc. Truthfully I had more management prepared but the game ended with my early pressure. Next time I want to show an even better game.

How does it feel to win 3~4 minutes into a game?
- There’s a slight empty feeling, but there’s also the satisfaction of knowing I won because I prepared a good build.

Because your victory in the 3rd set felt a bit empty, you must have welcomed the Ace match.
- From the team’s perspective it’s not good to win with personal motives. However, because I gained an opportunity to win 2 victories in a day, I thought to myself I should work even harder.

Did you like how your match against Upmagic played out?
- I just matched my play against my opponent’s and I think it worked out well. After seeing his 1 factory 1 starport, I made 2 starports. I think that’s why I was able to win.

In order to catch up to the top leaders in All Time wins, more 2 win opportunities like today should arrive.
- It’s true in my point of view. However it’s not something I can control, and right now it’s important to just win games one at a time. I believe if I just play this way I will be able to catch up naturally.

It was the first match for Hite Sparkyz (on OGN).
- It doesn’t feel like that much has changed. However, I do want to perform better to raise my sponsor’s name. Because it was our first time playing as Hite, I wanted to play even better.

You seem very tired.
- I woke up too early today (laughs). I wanted to sleep more but it rained so I couldn’t sleep well. So I’m kind of tired right now. I will work on increasing my stamina so that I will be able to show good performances in both the proleague and individual leagues.

Last words you want to say?
- Cloud Hyung, Casy Hyung, Shine Hyung, Samsung Khan’s Miracle hyung, Hwaseung’s Lomo, and my teammate Justin hyung as well as amateur player LeeGyuChan helped me a lot during practice. It’s because of these players I was able to win.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 하루 2승을 기록하며 역전승을 이끌었는데
▲ 정말 오랜만에 하루 2승을 한 것 같다. 위너스 리그 때 성적이 좋지 않았는데 1, 2라운드처럼 앞으로 하루 2승도 많이 하고 싶은 마음이다.

- 3세트에서 과감한 전진 배럭을 시도했는데, 상대 빌드에 대한 확신이 있었나
▲ (박)상우 형이 생더블류 빌드를 쓸 것이라는 예상을 했다. 사실 뒤에 운영이 더 있었는데 초반 압박에 경기가 끝났다. 다음에는 더 좋은 경기를 보여드리고 싶다.

- 3~4분 만에 경기에서 승리를 거두면 느낌이 어떤가
▲ 약간 허무한 감도 있고, 빌드를 잘 준비해서 이겼기 때문에 스스로 뿌듯하기도 하다.

- 약간 허무한 감을 느낀 3세트 승리 이후 에이스결정전은 반가웠을 것 같기도 한데
▲ 팀 입장에서는 에결을 가지 않고 이기는 것이 좋다. 하지만 하루에 2승을 할 수 있는 기회가 생겼다고 생각하면서 더욱 열심히 했다.

- 신희승전 경기 내용은 마음에 드는지
▲ 상대 운영에 맞춰서 플레이를 했는데 잘 먹혀들었다. 1팩토리 1스타포트를 보고 2스타포트를 올렸다. 그래서 이길 수 있었다고 생각한다.

- 다승 선두권 선수들을 따라잡기 위해서는 하루 2승 기회가 많이 와야 할 것 같은데
▲ 내 입장에서는 그렇다. 그러나 마음대로 되는 것도 아니고, 일단 한 경기씩 이기는 것이 중요하다. 그러다보면 따라잡을 수 있을 것 같다.

- 하이트 스파키즈의 첫 경기였는데
▲ 그렇게 많은 것이 바뀐 것 같지는 않다. 하지만 스스로 더 잘해서 스폰서의 이름을 더 알리고 싶은 마음이다. 하이트 이름으로 첫 출전한 경기였기 때문에 더욱 이기고 싶은 마음이었다.

- 상당히 피곤해보이는데
▲ 아침에 너무 일찍 일어났다(웃음). 더 자려고 했는데 비가 와서 잠을 잘 자지 못했다. 그래서 지금 조금 피곤한 상태다. 체력관리에 더욱 힘써서 프로리그 및 개인리그에서 좋은 모습을 보여드리겠다.

- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 연습을 도와준 (차)재욱이 형, (한)동욱이 형, (안)상원이 형, 삼성전자 박동수 형, 화승 손주흥, 우리 팀 (원)종서 형, 아마추어 연습생 이규찬이 연습을 도와줬다. 이들이 연습을 도와줬기 때문에 이길 수 있었다.

Yarnc, "It's rash for terran to come out on Battle Royal"
"I will work hard to show cool performances to coolly win"

[image loading]


With your victory in the 4th set, you swung the match around for a chance to win.
- Truthfully if it had been any other terran I wouldn’t have been nervous, but because it was Upmagic, prior to the game I thought a lot and was nervous. But surprisingly, because he used the strategy I had been anticipating I was able to win easily.

It was probably easy to prepare to play against terran on Battle Royal.
- Whatever strategy terran comes up with, I can deal with it. During practice, I won almost all the games as well. However, because my opponent was Upmagic I prepared even harder, and was not satisfied with the practice itself. But unexpectedly, he played right into my plans.

On Battle Royal, more and more terran are playing.
- It’s probably because the team decided terran would be a good choice. However, for terran to come out on Battle Royal is a bit rash.

Before the entries were revealed you were probably expected to play a mirror match.
- Although I was expecting to play zerg, I anticipated playing Upmagic to a certain level as well. It’s something the coaching staff and I considered during the entry meeting too.

You’re on a 4 win streak against Upmagic – is he a natural enemy now?
- I don’t believe it’s to that extent yet. In order for him to become my natural enemy the gap needs to widen more. I’d have to win about 3~4 more times but because Upmagic is a good player, that won’t be an easy feat. Whenever I played Upmagic, I think I was always lucky that he used the strategy I had been anticipating.

It’s Hite Sparkyz first match (in OGN).
- It feels very different. Today was our first game as Hite Sparkyz and it was different that we weren’t able to win ‘coolly’ 3:0. However, we still ‘coolly’ won through a reversal win so I’m happy. In the future I will work hard to show cool performances to coolly win.

Last words you want to say?
- I want to thank my terran teammates Justin, go.go, and Desire for helping me practice. Samsung Khan’s firebathero, Miracle, KTF’s Flash, Ace’s ClouD al helped me so I want to extend my thank you to them as well.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 4세트에서 승리를 거두며 승부를 원점으로 돌렸는데
▲ 사실 다른 테란이었으면 긴장하지 않았을텐데 상대가 신희승 선수라서 경기 전에 생각도 많았고, 긴장도 했다. 그런데 상대가 의외로 내가 예상했던 전략을 사용했기 때문에 손쉽게 에결을 이끌 수 있었다.

- 배틀로얄에서 테란전은 준비하기가 쉬웠을 것 같은데
▲ 테란이 어떤 전략을 하든지 모두 대처할 수는 있다. 연습 때도 거의 다 이겼다. 그래도 상대가 신희승 선수였기 때문에 더 열심히했고, 연습에 만족하지 않았다. 하지만 상대가 의외로 내가 생각했던 범위 내에서 움직였다.

- 배틀로얄에 테란들의 출전이 많아지고 있는데
▲ 팀 내에서 테란이 괜찮다는 평가를 내렸기 때문에 나오는 것 같다. 하지만 배틀로얄에 테란이 나오는 것은 객기다.

- 엔트리 발표 전까지는 저저전을 예상하고 있었을 것 같다
▲ 거의 저그전을 생각했지만, 신희승 선수의 출전도 어느정도 예상했다. 코칭스태프와 엔트리 회외를 할 때도 고려했던 부분이었다.

- 신희승전 4연승을 기록하고 있는데, 천적으로 자리 잡는 것인가
▲ 아직 그 정도는 아니라고 생각한다. 천적이 되려면 격차를 더 벌려야 한다. 한 3~4번은 더 이겨야 할 것 같은데, 신희승 선수가 너무 잘하셔서 천적이 되기는 쉽지 않을 것 같다. 항상 신희승 선수와 경기를 하면 운이 좋게 내가 예상했던 범위 내의 전략을 사용하셨던 것 같다.

- 하이트 스파키즈의 첫 경기인데
▲ 느낌이 많이 다르다. 오늘 하이트 스파키즈로 첫 경기를 했는데 '쿨하게' 3:0으로 이기지 못해 다르다. 그래도 더 '쿨하게' 역전승을 했기 때문에 기쁘다. 앞으로도 쿨한 경기력으로 쿨하게 이길 수 있도록 노력하겠다.

- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 연습을 도와준 우리 팀 테란 원종서, 김창희, 국정근에게 고맙다는 말을 하고 싶다. 삼성전자 이성은, 박동수 선수 KTF 이영호 선수, 공군 차재욱 선수 등 연습을 도와준 선수들에게 고맙다는 말을 하고 싶다.

Hm, I find it interesting that they practiced with members from ACE. Wasn't the story about ACE that they had enough practice time, but couldn't get good practice partners? Maybe that's changing.
Zero fighting.

Well, Cloud used to be the Sparkyz captain, actually. He might be the link between the two teams. I remember Boxer would always call SKT and ask to practice with some of their B-Team members.
