Today I listen to Pink's "Fucking Perfect", with some slight changes in lyrics this song always gets to me and makes me think of you:
You made a wrong turn, once or twice.
Fought your way back through hate and spite.
Bad decisions, thats' alright.
Welcome to progaming life.
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood.
Mister, no way you give up, it never slow you down.
Mistaken, always second guessing.
Underestimated, look, you're still around.
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel.
Like you're less than, less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel.
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to us.
They say your mean when you talk.
Speak your mind can't be wrong.
You are too honest, haters said.
Rather true than two-faced head.
So complicated, but you still will make it.
Filled with so much passion, such a crazy game.
Its enough, you've done all you can think of.
Chased down all your demons, so you can win the game.
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel.
Like you're less than, less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel.
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to us.
The whole world stares while you swallow your fear.
The nerves and the pressure, maybe soon you'd be there.
To get the big win, you tried, tried, tried.
When you try hard it's not a waste of your time.
Done looking for the haters cause they're everywhere.
They don't like your talk, they don't get your style.
They just try to keep you down, rip you apart.
Why do they do that? Why do they do that? Why do they do that?
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel.
Like you're less than, less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel.
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to us.
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel.
Like you're less than, less than perfect.

Hi Nani, congratulations on your win at MLG Dallas 2011, will you do anything special with the prize money?
Nope, I'm gonna have to give the boring answer once again: I will just save them for now :D
What was your first thoughts after you won the final game?
I was extremly happy and overjoyed, it was my first time to america and I really wanted to peform well, and I did :>
KiWiKaki was starting to close the gap with 2 victorys in a row, what went through your mind after the second loss?
In the second game I got a bit mad at myself for not scouting and falling to such a basic move, but then SeleCT and SjoW rushed up on stage and helped me refocus. I am very grateful for that
Aside from the tournament, can you tell us a bit about the overall MLG experience as well?
Did you get to chance to speak to some of the other tournament participants or other people from within the SC2 scene?
Oh yeah, I tried to get to know as many as I could but it's always difficult to approach IdrA and some other players because they only speak to their team mates. But the ROOT guys (CatZ, Destiny and drewbie) were extremly nice and fun, also it was nice meeting up with the VT guys.
You entered the finals undefeated, but who do you consider your most difficult oppent in the open brackets?
I thought Vibe would be the hardest since I heard good things about him but, Pokebunny on Xel Naga was probably my closest game to lose.
You defeated your team mate SeleCT in the semis, were you confident going up against him? Do you ever practice together?
I wasnt very confident but I knew I could and should win unless I played poorly, since his weakness is that he very often goes the same style.
Yeah we practise alot but not before this event, so I was a bit unsure in the end.
Let's talk a bit about TSL, your next oppent in the round of 16 is the Terran player GoOdy known for his mech style, do you feel confident against him? Do you have any game history together?
Against goody I have won everytime we have played as far as I know, but I saw that against nestea that he had alot of tricks up his sleeves so I will not underestimate him and go into the match as if it was just another player.
If you could pick one player - aside from yourself, who do you think has the most likely chance to bring home the TSL victory seeing how many upsets we have seen thus far with alot of Korean players beeing eliminated early?
I want to say MC But to be honest I am a bit intrigued by tyler. he really did surprise me against strelok winning so easily, I will not count him out but i would expect MC to pull through.
Thank you for you time and good luck in TSL! Do you have any last words or shoutouts?
Thanks to all my fans for supporting me, I will try my best to not dissapoint and become the best player outside of korea for now, and when I move there - the best in korea as well.
