It seemed the crucial point was when you caught your opponent’s overlord.

Because I had made an overlord first instead of a drone and made my units faster, I was sure I could win so I killed the overlord with my mutalisks and initiated the attack first. I believed if I attacked at that timing I could be at an advantage in the game, and coincidentally the overlord came out right at that moment so I was even happier.

god damn. way too pro man

Most of the pressure came from trying to produce results that were fitting to my contract, but because there is no pressure like that at Ace, I feel I’m playing a lot more comfortably.

Gods among men, you two! Much thanks for the interviews!

I'm loving getting to see nice ACE interview wins, the resurgence of these old players have made their matches among my favorite to watch every day. They don't give boring interviews either, especially with the types of questions that inevitably come up (army related) which makes it all the better.

Nice to see more practice partners, even if most are from their old teams.

- You were in a slump for quite a long time, so have you finally fully recovered?
▲ The stadium was very cold for a long time. For me, if I play in a cold environment, my reaction time slows down and I can't play well. I am very sensitive to such things, but the weather has been getting warmer, so my reaction time and micro both got better.

After your enlistment in Airforce, what has personally changed most for you?
- Honestly, while I was on SK Telecom, I was disappointed I didn’t more chances to play. Though I was always confident, by not getting chances to play my sense of the game fell a bit and when I finally did get to play I wasn’t able to appropriately show my skills. Though that was disappointing, in Ace the coach believes in me and keeps sending me out, and because I want to live up to those expectations I believe I’m practicing even harder. Also, it is the truth to say that old gamers feel pressure trying to keep up in the current gaming scene. Most of the pressure came from trying to produce results that were fitting to my contract, but because there is no pressure like that at Ace, I feel I’m playing a lot more comfortably.

very interesting.

thanks for the writeup!

The best set of interviews in a long time, Ace deserves it. <3 you Oversky. + I dont think continuing with being a progamer after Ace is of any use, just look at boxer, the gap increases too much in those 2 years, and you fall into mediocrity. Coaching or commentating would be a good option.

Thanks Smix and Konadora <3
