IMNesTea, 'A fantasy became a reality.'

[image loading]

'Detective' IMNesTea became the champion of Sony Ericsson StarCraft 2 Open Season 2 after beating 'King of Marines' BoxeRPrime with a score of 4:3.

Q. How does it feel to win the tournament?
A. I always imagined myself playing on a big stage. I would have been satisfied by just reaching the finals. I even imagined myself kissing that trophy once season 2 began, and I'm ecstatic that a fantasy became a reality.

Q. You started out the series 0:2.
A. I prepared thinking I wouldn't lose the first set. When I was cheese rushed, I thought to myself this would be a rough day. In the second set, I had a chance to play it out, but I wasn't able to perform under pressure. I had a lot of confidence on Scrap Station, so I was relieved to win on that map. My coach settled me down so I was able to play comfortably.

Q. You began by playing SC:BW, what did you think when you switched to SC2?
A. When I quit being a coach to play again, I didn't think of participating in tournaments. However, as I played more, I improved a lot so I thought I could do fairly well. The game doesn't require the highest APM, so I thought that fit me pretty well.

Q. What did you think of when playing the last set? How about right before you won?
A. I was expecting him to play the way he played out the first set with 2 barracks and scv support. I judged that if I didn't let him control my entrance, I could win, so when that attack came I thought it was possible for me to win.

Q. How are you going to spend the prize money?
A. I will put most of it into my savings. I'm going to give some for my mom to spend and buy her warm winter clothing. I will also treat my friends and teammates to delicious food, but most of it will go into savings.

Q. BoxeR said before the match that he will win purely on marines. How does it feel to have experienced that?
A. It is very strong. I practiced a similar scenario to the first set at least 200 times and was able to defend it well in practice. I guess the pressure of the first set got to me so I got dismantled.

Q. How do you evaluate your play in the finals?
A. I think I played with just 70% of my full ability. I'm disappointed that I didn't get to show everything I got, but I will show everyone in the next season.

Q. You've succeeded being a 30 year old progamer, what are your future plans?
A. There are many cases of players becoming worse as they age. I think the most important thing is self-conditioning. I believe that you can still do well if you are fit at an older age.

Q. You didn't make any hydralisks in the third set.
A. My original plan was to make hydraslisks and attack, but I thought I could still win without them. [note: a question that's not really related to anything... but I will translate nonetheless just noting I didn't plug this in lolol]

Q. What are your plans for season 3 and the 2011 seasons?
A. I will prepare just as well for season 3. I want to have this feeling again. In 2011, I want to show everyone my full capabilities. I want to enflame the passion of a 30 year old.

Q. You're well known as a 'detective zerg', how did you prepare for BoxeR's strategies?
A. I personally prefer powerful macro games. I think I got that nickname since so many players tried to play tricky strategies against me. I thought I could win if I just deflected the initial marine push. Everything went well in the seventh set.

Q. Any comments?
A. I want to thank my family for always supporting and trusting me. I also want to thank my dad who is looking down on me from above, I wish he could be here...[note: omg I almost cried while translating this] Thanks to my girlfriend, as well as friends, teammates and the coach. IMmvp helped me out a lot preparing for the finals. It would have been impossible to win without him. Team IM fighting!

Original interview in Korean (www.fomos.kr):
+ Show Spoiler +
'명탐정', '대마왕', '추리왕', '예비역' 등 다양한 수식어를 자랑하는 임재덕(IM)이 시즌2의 주인공이 됐다.

임재덕은 13일 소니에릭슨 스타크래프트2 오픈 시즌2 결승전에서 '해병왕' 이정훈(프라임)을 상대로 4:3으로 격파하고 1억원 우승컵의 주인공이 됐다.

다음은 임재덕과의 일문일답.

- 우승을 차지한 소감이 어떤가?
▲ 큰 무대에서 게임을 하는 것을 항상 상상해왔다. 오늘 결승전에 온 것 만으로도 기분이 정말 좋았을 정도다. 시즌2가 시작되면서 트로피에 키스하는 모습을 상상했는데, 상상이 현실로 이뤄지니까 너무 기분이 좋다.

- 초반에 0:2로 밀리면서 경기를 시작했는데.
▲ 1세트에서는 지지 않을 것으로 생각하고 왔다. 치즈러시에 당하는 순간 풀리지 않는 날이라고 생각했다. 2세트에서도 할 만한 상황이 있었는데 실력을 보여주지 못했다. 3세트는 자신이 있는 맵이었는데 이겨서 다행이다. 우리 팀 감독님이 마인드컨트롤을 해주셔서 마음 편하게 게임을 할 수 있었다.

- 스타크래프트부터 프로게이머 생활을 시작했는데 전향을 하면서 어떤 생각을 했는가?
▲ 코치를 그만두고 다시 게임을 시작했을 때 대회에 나가려는 욕심은 갖지 않았다. 하지만 하다보니 실력이 늘면서 나도 어느 정도 할 수 있겠다는 생각이 들었다. 게임 자체가 손이 그렇게 빠르지 않아도 된다는 점이 있어서 나와 잘 맞는 점이 많다고 생각했다.

- 마지막 세트를 앞두고 어떤 생각을 했나? 우승 직전에 든 생각은?
▲ 마지막 경기 때 첫 세트와 똑 같은 플레이를 할 것으로 예상했다. 2병영에 일꾼이 동반된 러시가 올 것으로 생각했다. 입구만 내주지 않고 컨트롤만 잘한다면 이길 수 있겠다고 판단했다. 그래서 일꾼을 동반한 공격이 올 때 이길 수 있겠다는 생각이 들었다.

- 상금은 어떻게 사용할 생각인가?
▲ 대부분의 돈은 저축을 할 것이다. 짜내서 어머니 용돈도 드리고 겨울 옷도 사드릴 것이다. 친구들과 팀원들에게도 맛있는 것을 사겠다. 대부분은 저축을 할 생각이다.

- 2세트에서 이정훈 선수가 토르, 불곰 등을 활용했는데 예측하지 못했었나?
▲ 한 두 번 정도는 불곰, 해병 위주의 경기를 할 것으로 생각했다. 내가 생각했던 것은 다섯 경기 정도는 해병을 집중적으로 사용할 것 같았다. 2세트는 조금만 더 침착했다면 이길 수 있었다. 상황이 불리하다가 할 만해지니까 방심했다.

- 이정훈 선수가 '해병으로만 이기겠다'는 도발적인 멘트를 날렸는데, 실제로 겪어보니 어떤가?
▲ 강하긴 강하더라. 첫 판은 비슷한 연습을 200번 정도 했다. 연습 때는 완벽하게 막았는데 첫 세트라서 그런지 잘 막지 못하고 무너지고 말았다.

- 결승전에서 본인 실력의 몇 %가 발휘됐다고 보는가?
▲ 연습 때의 70% 정도 발휘됐다고 생각한다. 모두 보여드리지 못해서 아쉽다. 다음에 보여드릴 것이다.

- 30대 프로게이머로 활약하게 되는데 이를 위해 앞으로 어떤 계획을 갖고 있는가?
▲ 나이를 먹을수록 선수들이 나태해지는 경우가 많다. 가장 중요한 것은 자기관리다. 자기관리가 잘되면 나이가 들어도 경기를 잘할 수 있을 것으로 본다.

- 3세트에서는 히드라리스크를 사용하지 않았는데.
▲ 원래 히드라리스크를 생산해서 공격을 하려고 했다. 하지만 생산하지 않아도 이길 수 있을 것 같았다.

- 시즌3 목표와 향후 2011년 GSL 계획은 어떻게 되나?
▲ 다음 시즌도 이번 시즌처럼 준비를 많이 할 것이다. 다시 한 번 이 무대에서 감동을 느껴보고 싶다. 2011년 GSL 정규시즌에서도 내가 할 수 있는 만큼 보여주고 싶다. 30대의 열정을 불태우고 싶은 마음이다.

- '추리왕', '명탐정'이라는 별명이 있는데 이정훈 선수의 어떤 점을 공략했나?
▲ 사실 나는 힘싸움을 좋아하는 스타일이다(웃음). 나와 경기한 선수들이 전략적인 플레이를 많이 해서 그런 별명이 붙은 것 같다. 이정훈 선수의 해병만 생각하고 왔다. 초반 해병 찌르기만 잘 막으면 이길 수 있다고 생각했다. 7세트에서는 생각한대로 잘 된 것 같다.

- 더 하고 싶은 말이 있다면.
▲ 나를 믿어주고 항상 응원해주는 가족에게 고맙다. 하늘에서 지켜보시는 아버지에게도 감사드린다. 지금 함께 할 수 있었다면 좋았을 텐데... 여자친구에게도 고맙고, 친구들이나 친한 형들, 우리 팀원들과 감독님께도 감사 드린다. 이번 결승전을 위해 (정)종현이가 정말 많은 도움을 줬다. 종현이가 없었다면 우승은 불가능했을 것이다. IM팀 파이팅.

That is so win lol.
Rooted for Foxer but I'm not mad at NesTea for winning. He showed that even at 30 years old you can still perform at the top and win a major event as the GSL.

FoXeR still has a lot to learn, the last few games showed it, I cheered for him, I will continue to do so (hope he doesn't end up being only an early game player). As for NesTea - great play, he did what was right, overall a solid play.

EDIT: Hope he joins the SlayerS team.

originally i was mad at NesTea for taking out my man Foxer
but, then i remembered that he was a KT coach so it was ok to root for him
in fact the KT manager even congratulated him on twitter right after the finals ended, I guess he was watching: "재덕아 ㅠㅠ 축하해 ㅜㅜ 1억타고 놀러온다했으니 기다릴게 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

This would've been unbelievable 3 months ago, nevermind the times when he was known as Zergbong, a captain figure/2v2 player that never performed up to par back when he was in KTF.

Best bo7 ever ever. Both would have deserved to take this down, i think Nestea played probably a chunk better and deserved to win it. Maybe Foxer a little bit too predictable and cheesy, but of course very strong play of both.
God i hope Season 3 will be just as awesome!

Great interview. Nestea seems like a cool guy (like almost every SC player ^^ ).
I'm glad we won over those marine+scv rushes.

Love Foxer's aggressive style but I think it was just a little overly aggressive at some points. Oh well. Well played Nestea.

originally i was mad at NesTea for taking out my man Foxer
but, then i remembered that he was a KT coach so it was ok to root for him
in fact the KT manager even congratulated him on twitter right after the finals ended, I guess he was watching: "재덕아 ㅠㅠ 축하해 ㅜㅜ 1억타고 놀러온다했으니 기다릴게 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
http://twitter.com/#!/KTRolster/status/3428586014900224


That tweet says: "Hey Zergbong Congratz! You said you'll come over after winning 100 million won, so I'll be waiting lololololol."

something like that.

NesTea totally deserved this, Foxer/Optimus has many years of pro gaming ahead of him, and hes too cheesy. I hope Bliz can move the game beyond all the marine vs. zergling games we are seeing.

i feel the same! had to stay up till 5 am but that was a very exciting series. in game one when BoxeR pulled 90% of his SCVs and marines to rush NesTea I was screaming with excitment. It was like a flash back of a SlayerS_BoxeR match.

i watched the VODs, but I seriously did not know who was gonna win it all until about 5 minutes into game 7

and I downloaded the first 4 VODs, then one at a time, so I had to buffer...it was a tense wait, there's not much more I can ask for - well fought by both players, and I'm really happy for NesTea (we're the same age so yeah, it's cool to see old men like us playing well)

Congratulations to NesTea!

I was rooting for Foxer the whole way, but I'm still very happy for NesTea. He seems like a nice guy and he is very deserving of his prize. Certainly an amazing Zerg player.

GSL 3 is shaping up to be so exciting now! Get to see how these two do again, get more foreigners, get to see Boxer/Nada (maybe others??) hopefully too! Can't wait!

Was rooting for Foxer, but NesTea deserved the victory. He is a worthy champion. The fact that he is a 30 year old pro-gamer brings out more to the table.

Perhaps the age limitation for Starcraft would not be as severe as in BW. Perhaps this is a sign of progression. Screw APM.

I don't see why games have to be long-lasting to be fun.

I mean, if every game in the GSL was short then yeah, there's a problem, but sometimes short games with cheese are the most exciting to watch. What would SC be without its Kwanros? Kind of boring, honestly. You need all kinds.

While I was rooting for Foxer it feels better that Nestea won considering his feelings and his "situation".

Both players showed such emotion at the end of the 7th set, I feel like season 1 doesn't compare (emotion wise). Even John's speech at the end added to the air of it, was a really powerful way to wrap up the tournament.. Kinda makes you appreciate the player as a person- with their own trials they have had to face in life.. Not just as another gamer who wants to win.

Good show! :D Thanks for the translation.

I'm very happy with the result, even though I liquibet Foxer and I like terran generally. They did give us exciting games, though I really did long for longer games by the end (a little disappointed to see double rax + SCV's AGAIN in the final set).

two zergs in a row they must be imba hahaha jkjk. i was pulling for him in this series i think boxerprime go a little nervous knowing he dismantled slayersboxer and that affected his play. opening with cheese definitely supports the argument, you wouldn't do that if u felt comfortable with the MU.

Thanks a lot for translating this

I think i find an error thought, i don't know if it was a part of the original article or not, but i'll mention it anyway.

"Q. What are your plans for season 3 and the 2010 seasons?
A. I will prepare just as well for season 3. I want to have this feeling again. In 2011, I want to show everyone my full capabilities. I want to enflame the passion of a 30 year old."

Shouldn't it be "2011"?

Its interesting that he said that the game doesn't require the highest APM to compete. We have heard that from several other players and to me it seems that SC2 at the highest level will be dominated by the experienced more seasoned SC1 veterans for a long time. They may not have the APM for SC1 any more but they have all the routine and good decision-making. For a neutral viewer this could be good because it may be more a batlle of wits than before.

Man, I still think fondly back on Zergbong vs Skyhigh and Rise from SC2gg questioning if ZergBong even knew what the Zerg is .

How vindicated ZergBong must be now, taking it all in the GSL2! I wanted Foxer to win, but I don't feel terrible about Nestea winning either - both were players I would have been happy to see win .

Cool interview.

While I wanted FoxeR to win, I'm OK with NesTea being the champion now. He seems to be a nice guy, and considering this was basically his last chance and BoxeR still has most of his gaming career ahead, it's probably for the better that he won.

Nestea's situation reminds me of Xellos (check out National Geographic's World Cyber Games on youtube lol)

GGs! Congratulations! :D

Btw is this IMmvp the same one from SC1? and did he not qualify for GSL 2? Or did i just miss him...

hurray for "old" player winning :D this is another good step for esports; lengthening the life span of a progamer!

FoXeR still has a lot to learn, the last few games showed it, I cheered for him, I will continue to do so (hope he doesn't end up being only an early game player). As for NesTea - great play, he did what was right, overall a solid play.

EDIT: Hope he joins the SlayerS team.

I believe he's joining prime as optimus prime, I think this dude is a total cornball, he jacks slayers name, now he decides instead of livin up his nickname of foxerprime, he goes cornball optimus, good for him though, but I was rooting for any one who opposed him after he knocked out fruitseller... good interview thanks for translation!

A TRUE CHAMPION! The testament to keep SC an epic macro game, not Rushcraft 2. The miracle defense of all miracles game 7. I called it, Close Spawn, Blind 14 hatch, Blind double rax cheese by Foxer except unlike game 1 we would have a godlike defense by NesTea. GG

After game 1 I was a little worried, but after game 2(even though he lost) I felt his skill, determination, and ability and felt reassured that he could come back from a 0-2 deficit. Even after SUCH AN disadvantageous position he kept holding on and turned the tables. He lost that game on LT, regardless of it, I felt the momentum switch to him. Epic

I'm rooting for foxer, but being 30 and win major tournament won me over, I just can't hate NesTea for that sole reason

Hope foxer can improve next season and win it, it will boring to see another Z won the GSL 3. But if Protoss can win it, I will be super happy. I still can't figure out how to play P, especially against Z .. *sigh.

ps: did foxer change his name to Optimus? Lol, that would be hilarious.

(P)HuK fighting!



Are you kidding me? That name is hilarious! It's obvious he has a sense] of qumor I was also going for (T)BoxeR, but happy for (Z)NesTea.

Btw. Did Boxer switch to Toss? or why is his liquipedia saying he is Toss? D:

What does this mean really? Is his dad alive, but looking down on him for doing what he loves, or is his dad in heaven?

Looking down on me from above usually implies that he is passed away.. at least for me anyways lol


or up, depending on his character

I disagree with the notion that foxer was cheesing. What he was doing was a natural response to a zerg who takes early expansions. In fact, going greedy with a super early expansion can be considered a cheese. Whenever a player over extends themselves, be it a rush or fast tech or over expanding, that player will either be punished or given a huge advantage. Foxer was correctly trying to punish Zergbong for his FE play.

FoxeR played Protoss back in StarCraft 1. (He was then known as Clare and EllenPage.)
He switched to Terran in StarCraft 2.

I also rooted for BoxeR being a fellow Terran, but NesTea's story is awesome finally breaking into the bank! WP NesTea! Still my hero, BoxeR!

What.... has Zergbong won something ? He was maybe the most awful BW pro of all times. SKT zergs ftw I guess.

Nice interview. I was hoping for foxer to pull out the victory, but the best player won in the end. Good job nestea.

That's not ironic ... at all ...

Grats to Nestea was hoping he would make it 4-0 to have an undefeated ride to victory, but hey can't complain

Can't wait to see what incontrol says about his money plans lol.
