For the better or worse, his interview is like the most humble one that I have ever read out of those who have won anything remotely significant.

He has like no ambition whatsoever, which is very surprising to me.

- 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.



Gee this is going cause a riot among the Zerg population around here. He was being too humble throughout the interview.


nice interview, but this part is very interesting coming from a Z player
if play random i can't call any race imba?

Larva inject is very strong for Zerg. Zerg can excel in macro games as we have seen in the past. Also, the moment a Zerg player realizes 'My opponent is teching and has very small defenses', they can morph in a sizable army very quickly. Banelings doing 80 damage to buildings smash down walls and bunkers/cannons and clean up a few units, then the high-hp roaches finish off the wounded forces. This attack can deal massive damage in a very small window of time without the Zerg sacrificing economy to build this army up over time - it just takes 2 larva injects off 2 hatches. This makes Zerg a very strong race for tournaments, where nearly every strategy and tactic is employed.

The comment is confusing. Zerg is overpowered but he's now doing worse? But he just finished in the ro.4 of the GSL and now has won this. Is the translation mis worded? (the part about him doing worse that is)

That's the secret to winning in SC2 expect to lose and instead play zerg lol. Glad to see that Kyrix has an interesting personality and has no interest in being a big name just playing.

Stop spoiling in titles. It was LAST NIGHT. This entire series of games have been spoiled for me. There's no reason to do this UGHHH.


Hahaha
First of, thanks for tall the people who provided alternate means of seeing the Korean content . I tried to navigate through gomtv.com without knowing a lick of Korean to try and stream it direct to boost their numbers, but... that was unsuccessful.

Glad that I got to see the series. Kyrix played great and I can't wait to see his play during GSL3.

Third thing, relative to the above quote. I mean, if you really want to watch the series unspoiled, is surfing the TL forums the right thing to do? Think about it

I'm confused to his comments about zerg being OP then saying he loses more since the patch.

I assume he use to try harder since zerg was weaker hence won more because of the effort?

I wonder if thats what he really meant or if the translation is right.


wow

Since it is a spoiler, can someone contact a mod to get the title changed to "Winner of GStar 2010 SC2 All-Stars" or something? ;o

Kyrix isn't exactly the most charismatic of players, but it's kind of refreshing the way he brings this "hey whatever man, I guess I'll just show up and play" attitude to his games.

It's interesting that he says his style is based on pre-patch play, because back then it was most common for Zergs to play passive and try to macro up and tech to tier 3. It's only after the change in Roach range that we've seen a lot more aggression and timing pushes from Zerg players. The fact that he's willing to be aggressive makes him a lot more dangerous than someone like Idra, whose downside is his predictability. Kyrix seems to have solid mechanics to back up his play though, he could go quite far in GSL3.

To be humble


So you beat Foxer

It was because of him playing bad.


Do you want to go further in the GSL?

Nah its fine


You didnt lose a single game

Well my race is overpowered

Wow, I just got drive-by spoiled by a thread title. And I was looking forward to watching these games, too.

Oh well, thanks for the interviews.

Assuming the translation is correct I guess he meant that the prepatch play style that he used does not work well after the patch and causes his win rate to go down.

hmmm interesting
i think hes refering to zerg t1 being too effective, but his winrate went down because he was playing a turtle/react zerg still

I thought it was more that since all Zergs were playing passively pre-patch, his aggressive style was something opponents didn't know how to play against so he got a lot of wins that way.

I think something has been lost in translation I think he is saying that he lost more to begin with because he wasnt used to the new style which is different to the one that worked pre-patch and the one that he was god at but now he has improved.
