Offensive Zerg, Han Jun (KyrixZeNEX) (note: shortened as Kyrix from now on), showed even stronger offensive instinct, leading him to a glorious win.
Kyrix defeated Foxer(Prime) 2:0 in GStar 2010 StarCraft 2 All-Stars finals, and won 10 million won as a prize as well as the honor of being the "winner". Kyrix defeated everyone he faced -- including SlayerS_BoxeR -- with amazing record of 2:0 every match.
This is the interview.
- How do you feel about winning?
* It's almost unreal. I can't believe I won.
- This is a first time we've heard it's "unreal".
* It's as it says. I didn't practice much, and recently, I haven't been winning much. I thought that I will lose 0:2 in RO 16 then go home.
- You didn't have any goals for this tournament?
* I actually didn't have any. I did think it'd be good if I won, but I was happy just being invited. That alone was really good for me.
- But, you won 2:0 in RO 16?
* I went "Whoa, I won?" after winning RO 16. I did think "I'll surely lose next match".
- You defeated BoxeR in RO 8.
* While it was an honor, I didn't really want to face him. Just facing him alone is a great pressure. I was too tense during the match vs. BoxeR. I don't even know what I did.
- But after managing to get to semifinals, you probably thought you might be the champion.
* When I did make it to the semifinals, I did feel that it was possible. I felt I had good ZvZ.
- You faced Foxer, whom you lost to in last season's RO 8, in the finals.
* I don't really concern myself that much with that (laugh). But, I don't think Foxer did his play very well. He is very good with 2 rax play -- which he uses often -- but, both 1st and 2nd match, he played around going tech. That made it easier for me to deal with. I think Foxer tried to do a mind game, but it made it easier for me.
- Out of all, the fact you won every single one of your match is amazing.
* I can't believe that happened. I think Zerg is way too overpowered, that's why I didn't lose any of my matches. The Zerg is too efficient. Banelings or Roaches are too powerful.
- Do you really think Zerg is overpowered?
* I am being really honest. I thought I did quite well during the days of dark ages for the Zerg. But, after the patch, my win rate started to go down. Other Zerg players are saying it's become better, but in reality, my win rate wasn't as good as before. So, I couldn't believe that I won this tournament. I was more used to the playstyle previous to the patch, but that playstyle doesn't seem to work as well now.
- Do you wish for more in GSL Season 3?
* I don't really want more. As mentioned after passing prelims, It is good enough if I make it to RO 8.
- Your micro was really strong this tournament.
* The reason why I showed such aggressive play was because opponents all played macro game. I like to do a timing push against macro-oriented players, and that timing is obvious to me. So, I did a lot of aggressive play. I do like long matches, and I am also confident in macro plays.
- Do you feel that you have become more famous?
* I don't think so. I don't really want to be famous either. I just like to play the game.
- Any comments?
* I want to say thanks to everyone who practiced with me. I also want to thank my parents, who gave me the permission to come all the way to Busan. They actually told me not to... (laugh) They said it was too far (laugh).
