Interview from Dark's win today against MVP.Dream in Proleague.
Source: http://www.inven.co.kr/webzine/news/?news=108558&iskin=esports
Q. How are you feeling about recording your first win in Proleague?
It was natural for me to think I'd win. My first win didn't make me incredibly happy, I'm just a little glad.
Q.Why were you so confident you'd win today?
Originally I had confidence against Terran. But in practice I ended up losing quite a bit. I was a bit anxious versing Terrans but since my opponent was Dream I was able to relax a bit.
Q. Do you really mean to say that you think Dream is a weak player?
Yes, exactly. I watched him in the preliminaries [GSL] so that's how i know.
Q. Isn't it a worry that the SKT zergs always come in second place?
Coming second is still really good. I think in 2014 one of the SKT.Zergs might end up taking a championship. If it was only me I don't think it would be possible but with Soulkey and Soo I think it will happen.
Q. In Code S you were able to make two consecutive seasons. Is it harder for you to perform in Proleague.
Because I won today I think ill be appearing more often than last season. By definition competition is meant to be difficult, so when on SKT there are so many great players I don't get to participate.
Q. In today's match you didn't use Muta/Ling/Bane and instead went for Roach Hydra. Is there a special reason?
From way before I've been preparing this build on this map particularly Hydralisks seem like the right answer.
Q.Do you have any goals for this individual season (Code S)?
To get to the round of 8. And by the end of the 4th Proleague round I want to get about 5 wins.
Q. Anything else you'd like to say?
To my parents that are always cheering me on I want to say thank you. To the executives of SKT thank you. And to the coaches who trusted me to participate, thank you. Today I was only to perform to about 60%, I'll practice harder by lifting my game to 100% in the practice room.
TN:+ Show Spoiler +Wow harsh words against Dream, I guess it shows Dark is confident. Also I always appreciate a pro-gamer that thanks his parents

ALSO SIGN ME UP! DARKKKKUUUU!!!

Watching him in Code S. Fantastic player. Sign me up.

Great play by Dark today in Code S. Dark advances to the ro16 for the first time in his career.
Against Bbyong's bio he showed impenetrable drop defence and against mech his patient play with swarmhost spreads meant he could ride his bank to a victory.
Against Zest's proxy 2 gate Dark hid 2 drones to make spine crawlers while he ran the rest of his drones around, so despite playing a very greedy build he was able to hold off the pressure unfortunately he was far enough behind that he couldn't quite hold off Zests 2 base timing.
|
Sign me up. I'm a huge fan of his style.
|
Code S ro 16 groups have been announced: http://puu.sh/8XNJg.jpg
Dark has a pretty easy group, Maru will be his biggest challenge but nothing that Dark can't overcome. Dark showed pretty one-sided ZvT when he went 4-0 against Bbyong in the ro.32.

Woosh.
Sign me up for sure <3
Mah boy is going to advance to Ro8 with 5 other SKT players, sadly, T1 this season can't get all 7 but we will achieve 8/8 one day. #thedream
|
Unfortunately Dark got eliminated in the ro16 of Code S. He showed good games particularly game 1 vs Maru. Each season he's getting to a higher round so hopefully next season he can make it to the quarter finals.
|
Congratulations to Dark who got revenge on True after being knocked out of the ro16. Dark overcame probably the biggest build order disadvantage possible in ZvZ. With a hatch + gas first he was able to beat True's 9 pool. I'll definitely put up the VOD in the OP later.
