[Interviews] Bacchus Prelims Group C & D Winners

type-b has successfully qualified his first OSL after his win in his group C of the Bacchus OSL 2009 Preliminaries, held on the 1st of May at the Yongsan e-Sports Indoor Stadium.

The following is the interview with type-b.

- Your thoughts on your first OSL qualification.
▲ I think this is the first time I have passed the preliminaries in a year. And this is my first OSL qualification. I feel really good. I had never qualified for the OSL, and it is also because it is our team's company's individual league. I did not play much in individual leagues recently, so I am glad that I have gotten another chance.

- You had a rough time in your group.
▲ The matches were very tough. I waited very long, but besides that, my opponents were very strong players. There were times I overdid myself and lost a game I could have won, and many games turned out differently from what I expected.

- Your most difficult match?
▲ It was the second game against Really. The map was Return of the King. Even when I think back about it now, I still can't reorganize myself. That was how close that game was. It was a game filled with never-ending chaos.

- Hite's players are performing great so far.
▲ go.go usually passes the preliminaries with ease. HoGiL was originally the second-best Zerg in our team, behind YellOw[ArnC]. I believe that those two will definitely qualify. I am still very lacking in my skills.

- Your target for this OSL?
▲ I think that I need to somehow work hard enough and get into the Round of 16. If I get eliminated at the Round of 36, I will have to go through the preliminaries once more. I really hate the preliminaries.

- Any final words?
▲ I hope the rest of my teammates qualify. They have been practicing extremely hard lately.

HoGiL has successfully qualified this season's OSL after his win in his group D of the Bacchus OSL 2009 Preliminaries, held on the 1st of May at the Yongsan e-Sports Indoor Stadium.

The following is the interview with Hogil.

- Your thoughts on your qualification?
▲ This is my third qualification. My results in the recent preliminaries have not been good, and my broadcasted games weren't that good either. I have been slowly winning games in Proleague, and I wanted to keep this momentum going and qualify.

- You have shown to get extremely nervous on stage. How well do you fare during practice?
▲ It has always been good, but strangely enough, every time I play on stage, I cannot display my skills properly because of my nervousness. I had even thought whether this was the right path for me when I was slumping. But I started gaming since young, and if I quit now, I will have nothing else I can do, so I practiced extremely hard. That is why I think that my recent games have been good.

- Were there any tough matches?
▲ In the first round, I got too nervous and lost, and I could not focus. At that moment, Ju Jin Chul coach came over and helped me to calm down. Other than the first game, the rest were not that difficult.

- How was your finals against Midas?
▲ I played it with a calm mind. I told myself that I had nothing to lose, even if I got eliminated, so I did not feel heavily burdened.

- Show us your willingness to enter the Round of 36.
▲ I will practice with all my strength like mad, as though this is my last chance. I will work hard so that I will make it into the Round of 16.
