Super Rookie FoxeR, 'I still have holes in my play'

FoxeRPrime, considered the 'super rookie' of this season's GSL advanced to the semi finals with a distinctive playstyle, beating KyrixZenith 3:2.

Q. How does it feel to advance to the semi finals?
A. The games were so tough, I just feel happy that I won.

Q. It looked very hard to tell who the winner was until the very end.
A. In the last set, I didn't defend well against his first rush. I thought I lost and decided to give it my best. My focus brought me back into the game and the gold expansion with tank defense gave me hope.

Q. In the first set, your marine micro was spectacular.
A. I realized after the game that I didn't upgrade combat shields. No wonder my marines died so freaking fast. I was too busy during the game.

Q. Is there a secret to your marine micro?
A. It's crucial to know where his zerglings and banelings are. I like to lure with marines in front and make a concave while spreading out with the marines in the back.

Q. KyrixZenith's aggression was overwhelming in sets 2 and 3.
A. When I practiced, there were no zergs as aggressive as him. I felt like I lost even though I knew it was coming.

Q. What did you think when you were behind 1:2?
A. I never had the experience of playing a Bo5, so I thought I was sure to lose, but the Prime coach calmed me down during the break and helped me immensely.

Q. In the 4th set, you finished the game with pure banshees.
A. He found about my 2 starport banshee build, so I thought I would lose if mutalisks were out. I had to attack, and when I killed all his queens with micro, I knew I won.

Q. You also made banshees in the 5th set.
A. I didn't really prepare for the last game. It wasn't a well prepared build so I was behind.

Q. KyrixZenith never used infestor against you.
A. If the zerg went infestors, they tended to be overwhelmed by my aggression during practice. He definitely made the right choice of not making infestors I think.

Q. The ID of FoxeR does not seem to fit you.
A. I heard that foreigner fans like Fake Boxer. I'm not completely sure of what to do, if there is a good name, please let me know.

Q. In the semi finals, you will face off with HopeTorture or NEXGenius.
A. I want to face HopeTorture. He beat my teammate CheckPrime both last season and this season, so I want to get revenge.

Q. Do you think you will do well?
A. I thought I grew as a player after today's games. I'll show a more perfected game in the semi finals.

Q. It looks like you will have a lot of fans.
A. I still have holes in my play. It would be nice if they cheered me on for my playstyle, and kept doing so.

Original interview in Korean (www.fomos.kr):
+ Show Spoiler +
이번 대회 최고의 슈퍼루키로 손꼽히고 있는 이정훈(프라임)이 스타일 뚜렷한 플레이를 펼치며 4강에 진출했다.

이정훈은 1일 소니에릭슨 스타크래프트2 오픈 시즌2 8강 1경기에서 공격적인 플레이로 한준(ZeNEX)을 3:2로 제압했다. 한준 역시 미칠듯한 공격 본능을 자랑한 가운데 이정훈과 한준은 최고의 명승부를 만들어냈다.

다음은 이정훈과의 일문일답.

- 4강에 진출한 소감이 어떤가?
▲ 너무 힘들게 경기를 하고 왔다. 지금은 기쁘다는 생각 밖에 들지 않는다.

- 끝까지 승리를 예감하지 못했을 것 같다.
▲ 마지막 세트에서 상대의 첫 러시를 효과적으로 막지 못해서 상당히 불리했다. 졌다는 생각을 하면서 최선을 다하자는 마음을 먹었다. 그 이후에 집중력이 살아났고 황금 미네랄 멀티를 먹고 공성전차로 계속 수비를 하는 과정에서 가능성이 있다고 생각했다.

- 1세트에서 해병 플레이가 인상적이었다.
▲ 경기가 끝나고 전투 방패 업그레이드가 되어 있지 않았다는 사실을 알게 됐다. 어쩐지 해병이 잘 죽더라. 경기 중간에는 너무 몰입을 하다 보니 그 사실을 느끼지 못했다.

- 해병 컨트롤의 비결이 있나?
▲ 상대의 맹독충과 저글링이 어디에 있는지를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 가장 앞에 있는 해병 소수로 유인을 하고 뒤에 있는 해병을 펼치며 진영을 짜는 것이 핵심이다.

- 한준의 공격성이 2, 3세트에서 대단했다.
▲ 연습을 하면서 한준 선수만큼 공격적인 저그가 없었다. 그래서 알면서도 무기력하게 무너진 듯한 느낌이다. 이제 그런 점들은 보완할 수 있을 것 같다.

- 1:2의 상황에서 어떤 생각을 했다.
▲ 5전 3선승제도 처음이도 경험도 없어서 '이렇게 탈락하는구나'라는 생각이 들었다. 하지만 쉬는 시간에 박외식 감독님이 '편하게 하라'고 다독여주셨다. 그것이 큰 도움이 됐다.

- 4세트에서는 밴시로만 경기를 끝냈다.
▲ 밴시를 들킨 상황이라서 뮤탈리스크가 뜨면 내가 불리해지는 상황이었다. 그래서 어쩔 수 없이 공격을 했다. 여왕을 공격하면서 이길 것으로 확신하지는 못했다. 하지만 컨트롤을 하면서 여왕을 다 잡고 이겼다는 생각을 했다.

- 5세트에서도 밴시를 생산하기는 했는데.
▲ 5세트까지는 준비를 많이 하지 못했다. 그래도 준비한 빌드를 하기는 했는데 미숙했던 관계로 상당히 불리해졌다.

- 저그가 감염충을 한 번도 사용하지 않았다.
▲ 저그가 감염충을 가게 되면 계속 몰아치는 내 공격 앞에 밀리는 경우가 있더라. 한준 선수가 잘 판단하신 것 같다.

- Foxer라는 별명도 안 어울리는 것 같다.
▲ 외국 분들이 Fake Boxer라는 별명을 좋아하신다고 들었다. 아직 어떻게 해야 할 지 잘 모르겠다. 좋은 별명이 있다면 팬들이 알려주시길 바란다.

- 4강에서는 정민수 혹은 김성제와 맞붙게 된다.
▲ 김성제 선수와 맞붙고 싶다. 지난 시즌도 그렇고 김성제 선수에게 우리 팀의 이형주 선수가 또 패배했다. 이번에 내가 꺾어서 복수를 하고 싶다.

- 4강에서도 잘 할 수 있을 것 같은가?
▲ 오늘 경기를 통해서 한 층 성장했다고 생각한다. 4강에서는 더욱 완벽한 경기력을 선보이겠다.

- 팬들도 많이 늘어날 것 같다.
▲ 나는 아직도 부족한 점이 많다. 내가 플레이하는 스타일을 좋아해주시고 응원해주신다면 힘이 많이 날 것 같다. 더 많은 응원 부탁드린다.


Long interview... decided to share with you guys
Not sure if I have the 'right' to post these on here, but let me know and I'll delete it or something, otherwise, enjoy!

PS. also thought it was interesting how he mentions infestors would lose to him. There were a lot of us posting in LR that infestors would've done the trick, but guess not? haha

Q. The ID of FoxeR does not seem to fit you.
A. I heard that foreigner fans like Fake Boxer. I'm not completely sure of what to do, if there is a good name, please let me know.

No, keep it that way :D

Thanks for the translation! I actually agree with his comment on zerg making a good idea not to go Infestor as that would be less banelings and having to wait for that 25 energy for fungel growth pretty sure he would have died earlier.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Oh my god. Amazing. I can't believe it. WOW.

In BW pros would NEVER mention foreign fans and take their thoughts into consideration.

Very very happy about this.

Thanks for the post! <3 FoxeR

I think that he will become even better in the near future. It seems as though he is satisfied playing for Prime too.. which means he has a damn good set of practice partners (=.

I think Foxer is a bad ID, I wish he would come up with his own unique name, rather then hide in boxers shadow.

Awww, though I dislike him for taking out an awesome zerg, I'll forgive him, since he seems quite awesome ^^. Cool interview, and interesting point about the infestors.

great translation, thanks

you'd think being on the same clan as July he'd get practice against super aggressive zerg, but no, Kyrix is the most aggressive SC2 zerg ever

The Emperor said that given his play he deserved the name Boxer.

Foxer works I guess :p.

He seems absolutely great. I usually dislike Terran play but his is a pleasure to watch.

Edit:
I think Kyrix will also progress a lot too. The games were close, I'm expecting Kyrix to be a name we hear again.

Fauxer is much better. I hope he picks that! Having any group of fans, korean or foreign, would help boost a player's appeal.
