EPTA : It's been too long I can't even remember..I have never been this nervous at a semi final match before..my games all worked out very well.
Q : All the three games were bunker rushes
A : People might say I won too easily but they don't know how much effort was put into coming up with this strat. I worked all night for many days to find the exact timing where the zerg can't block the bunker rush even though he knows about it. Really, I prepared more than the past finals I have been in. I was extremely stressed. I was thinking of doing a different strat if my early marine/scv strat didn't work. But fortunately Yellow played without gathering units at the early stage so I just pressured him some more. What I wanted to do was make both of us poor and make it a control game. I am always confident in control.
Q : Did you have anything special in mind because you were facing Yellow?
A : I think I know more about Yellow than anyone else. So during practice I thought to myself "this won't work against Yellow" or "Yellow will overcome this easily". So during practice I asked my partners to do specific strats. Mumyung helped out the most and so did Zerglee and many other semi-pros at my team. Also July from POS helped out a lot. With the scv/marine/bunker strat, I beat July 5 times in a row.
Q : Your final opponent is OOv.
A : I always thought to myself "we will have to fight one day" but I never thought that would be the OGN finals. I really didn't want to meet a team member in the final but now its inevitable. Its very pressuring that there is not even a week left till the finals. Oov must have rested a lot but I won't have that time.
Q : Your training must be pressuring.
A : We both know each other well so I think it will be a fight of brains. If it was long time ago I would leave the team house and practice other place but now I am the older one so..If both of us practice at the team house I can spy on Oov's strats (He laughs)
Q : Your final words on the final
A : My goal in this OGN season was trying my best. And I think that is what brings me good results.
Congrats Boxer on winning semis
