Zero, "I will work hard in order to fulfill my dream of becoming a Royal Roader"
"I want to say thank you to my teammates and my parents"

[image loading]


This is your first time qualifying for Ro16 of the OSL.
- It’s a stage I’ve wanted to qualify for a while now, and during the Ro36 I didn’t really feel like I was a ‘Starleaguer’, but now it really seems that I’ve reached the Starleague so I’m very happy.

Among your diverse plays today, we can’t leave out your use of infested terrans.
- I thought about whether or not to utilize the neutral command center and then came up with the build I used today. Because it’s not perfected yet I worried a lot but because I blocked the first dark templar and the first shuttle well, I believe the result came out as good as it did. However, I don’t believe I was able to use the infested terrans as well as I planned. If you drop the infested terran between units, you can deal a lot of damage but I wasn’t able to do that.

Do you think there will be a discussion as to whether it is imbalanced to use infested terran?
- Even if you infest the command center, if you don’t utilize it properly it’s useless. The important point is how poor the zerg is when he chooses to infest the command center, and if the protoss just adjusts accordingly, they can counter it easily. Of course, during practice, my teammates mentioned that it was imbalanced. I think it’s just because protoss have never really had to deal with infested terran before.

In the last match, what did you think when you saw the 2 gateways?
- Because I was aware of his build in the 1st set, I just thought he was trying to play as safe as he could in the 2nd set. During the last battle at 12 o clock, I honestly wasn’t very confident but when I won there, I was sure I had won.

You’re a Royal Road candidate - your thoughts on that?
- “I believe I’m fully capable of fulfilling my dream of becoming a Royal Roader and I will work hard to do so.”

Last words you want to say?
- To my protoss teammates who helped me come up with today’s strategies in order to surprise protoss, I’m very thankful, and I also want to say thank you to my parents at home who are always cheering for me.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 생애 첫 스타리그 16강 진출인데
▲ 예전부터 굉장히 올라가고 싶었던 스타리그 무대였는데 36강에서는 ‘스타리거’에 대한 느낌이 별로 없었는데 이제서야 진짜 스타리그에 올라간 것 같아서 기쁘다.

- 다양한 플레이 중에 인페스티드 테란을 빼놓을 수 없는데
▲ 중립 커맨드센터에 대한 활용을 고민하다가 오늘 쓴 빌드를 생각해 냈다. 아직 완성된 것이 아니라서 걱정도 됐는데 첫 다크템플러도 잘 막고 셔틀도 잘 막아서 결과가 좋았던 것 같다. 하지만 생각만큼 인페스티드 테란을 그렇게 잘 쓰지는 못했던 것 같다. 일꾼 사이에 드롭하면 굉장히 피해를 많이 줄 수도 있는데 그렇게 하지는 못했다.

- 인페스티드 테란으로 인한 밸런스 문제가 대두되지는 않을까
▲ 커맨드센터를 먹어도 활용을 잘 못한다면 소용 없다. 저그가 얼만큼 가난하게 하면서 센터를 잡느냐가 중요하고 프로토스가 그에 잘 맞춰서 대응하면 쉽게 막을 수도 있다. 물론 연습할 때 팀원들이 사기라고 한 적도 있다. 아무래도 프로토스들이 인페스티드 테란에 많이 안 당해봐서 당황하는 것 같다.

- 마지막 경기에서 2게이트웨이를 보고 무슨 생각이 들었는지
▲ 1세트 빌드를 의식해서 2세트를 굉장히 안정적으로 한다는 생각이 들었다. 12시 쪽 멀티에서 마지막 전투를 이길 자신이 없었는데 거기서 이기고 승리를 확신했다.

- 로열로더 후보인데 각오 한마디
▲ “충분히 로열로더의 꿈을 이룰 수 있다고 생각하고 열심히 하겠습니다”

- 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 오늘같이 프로토스를 당황하게 만드는 빌드를 만들기 위해 열심히 도와준 우리 팀 프로토스들에게 고맙고 집에서 항상 응원해 주시는 부모님에게도 감사드린다고 전하고 싶다.

Just to add on, but in most, if not all interviews, when they mention 'starleague', it refers to OSL, as they always refer to the MSL as 'MSL'.

Good job Smix

OSL has always been given more attention than the MSL because of everything - the power difference between the sponsors (Bacchus, EVER, Incruit, Shinhan Bank vs Lost Saga, ClubDay Online, Avalon Online, see the difference?), the grandeur, the existence of 'golden mouse', having a wall with the OSL winners' pics, etc. Everything just points to OSL being better than MSL.

Tx for the translation. I almost had to change my underpants when he went for IT. ^^
They should infest it, fly it back to their base and then mass produce, stick em in ovies and do boom-drops, eat that storm dropping toss scum. ^^;
