+ Show Spoiler +

- Your thoughts on making the round of 16?
I am really happy that I don’t have to go to the up and down matches. I’ve been there before and it’s not a place you want to be. So, I prepared hard for today’s matches.

- Did your mindset change after the up and down matches?
Now, it’s become more that I want to keep being a progamer than completely winning the tournament. I enjoy showing my play on televised matches so in order to do that, it is important to me that I stay in code S.

- Your first opponent was LosirA.
That put a bit of pressure on me. Since I’ve been in code S for a while, I wanted to show him how scary code S can be, therefore, I practiced a lot.

- What aspect of your play did you focus on?
It was hard for me, but I was prepared to win through macro. Since I saw that he prepared to use infestors, I was a bit lucky.

- Your goal for this season?
I want to make it to the finals.

- The meaning behind your ceremony?
It is the ring I got for winning blizzcon. I wanted to show it off previously, and a blizzard staff member recommended it to me.

- Who do you want to face in the next round?
Anyone except Marineking.

- Your biggest obstacle in reaching the finals?
I thought it would be MC, but he’s gone. I feel like terrans are strong nowadays so if I don’t face a terran, I think I will have a good chance.

- Any last comments?
Now, there are 4 MVP players left (in code A), I hope all of them can make the round of 16.

Winners of Group C
Genius
‘I am regaining my confidence.’

- Your thoughts on advancing as 1st in your group?
I feel like I am back in the open season. My confidence level is on the way up. I was sure that I would make the round of 16 today. I thought overall, it was easy.

- So you say you gained a lot of confidence?
Yes, I have found my mojo. I don’t care who advances in group D.

- How did you prepare?
I definitely practiced a lot. DongRaegu practices extremely hard. I practiced in response to his practice but I think he has slacked off a bit as of late. .

- People say your play is not fancy and usually ends in a straight up battle of strengths.
I don’t feel like I won if I don’t win decisively. A macro-oriented play may be able to show more fancy maneuvers to get ahead, but winning through brute strength in a direct clash fits my style. I have tried to change a bit but it is difficult for me.

- Instead of using stalkers for defending medivac drops, you used zealots.
I have learned from watching zergs. It is a similar thought to zerg defense to medivac harassment, like when they put zerglings underneath the drop. If you just put a couple of zealots underneath, it works the same way.

- Did you practice a lot for today’s matches?
It wasn’t too much, but I did practice focusing on the 1st match. I used ladder matches to prepare for the other ones.

- Should we expect something from you this season?
The round of 16 should be a challenge, but if I can get past that I have a chance at taking the tournament.

- Any last comments?
I want to thank treefOu, and oxfOu for helping me practice. Tails said some stuff in his interview yesterday, but I think he should keep that to himself until he gets to code S (laugh).
