- How does it feel to be the champion?
It feels amazing to have gotten through the qualifiers for the First time and get all the way here to take the win. My original goal was to qualify for the Super tournament, but I am extremely happy that I was able to win and even take out MVP to do so.
- How have you been preparing for your matches so far?
I have been mainly focusing on figuring out my opponent’s play style and finding builds to match up well against their strategies. I think it was hardest to prepare for
Jjun since I had no idea what he would do. - How did you prepare for today’s match against MVP?
I knew that MVP is someone who is extremely confident in his TvT matchup, so I predicted he would focus on macro oriented games. Because I am a macro oriented player as well, rather than focusing on specific strategies, I tried to be in the best condition as possible for this match.
- Today’s matches ended up being pretty aggressive on both sides and rather short. Did you predict that this would happen?
I planned to all-in on that 3rd set, but other than that, I predicted that all the other games would be long macro games.
- Today, it seemed as if your play was one step ahead of your opponent the entire time.
Other than my round of 16 match, I have had only TvTs throughout this tournament. Because I was able to play so many TvTs, right now, I have a great feel for that matchup. MVP only played TvT in the semifinals, so I feel like I was definitely at an advantage coming Into this match.
- If you get Into code S, who do you want to face?
I have played a lot of terrans recently, so I want to face some protoss or zergs.
- Do you have any players that you look up to, or consider your rival, or you worry about?
I think all of the former champions worry me to some extent. And I believe I can still learn a lot from MVP and I believe he is still the best.
- You picked
Lyn and Ensnare to be in your up and down group, any reasons?I have been playing and preparing for TvTs so long that my feel for other race matchups are a bit down. And amongst the terran players (in the up and down), I just picked two players that I don’t have particular attachments to.
- Your goals going Into the up and down matches?
I don’t even have 1% of doubt in my mind that I will lose. I guarantee I will win 2 to 0 and advance.
- Any last comments?
The New GSTL season will be soon and this time, my team will definitely win so I want to ask all the fans to cheer us on.

▼ 우승을 차지한 소감은?
- 첫 예선을 뚫고 우승까지 해서 기분이 좋다. 원래 목표는 슈퍼토너먼트 참가였는데, 우승을 차지하고 정종현 선수까지 꺾어서 기쁘다.
▼ 그동안 경기 준비는 어떻게 했나?
- 상대의 스타일을 파악하는데 주력했고, 빌드에 대해 맞춤 전략을 준비했다. 정혜준 선수와 경기할 때 상대가 뭘 할지 몰라서 그 때가 더 힘들었다.
▼ 정종현과의 대결은 어떻게 준비했나?
- 테테전에 굉장한 자신감이 있는 선수고, 운영 중심으로 준비할 거라 생각했다. 나도 운영 중심이기 때문에 뭔가를 딱히 준비하기 보단 컨디션 관리에 힘을 썼다.
▼ 오늘 경기는 꽤 치열하고 장기전이 없었다. 예상하고 있었나?
- 3경기 때 올인을 했는데, 그것을 제외하곤 모두 장기전을 예상하고 있었다.
▼ 오늘 전체적으로 앞선 경기력을 선보였는데?
- 16강을 제외하고 전부 테테전이었다. 그만큼 동족전을 많이 치러서 감이 많이 오른 상태였다. 정종현은 테테전을 4강에서 한번밖에 안 해 내가 더 유리했다고 생각한다.
▼ 만약 코드S로 승격된다면 누구와 붙고 싶나?
- 테란전을 많이 했으니 저그나 프로토스와 붙고 싶다.
▼ 배우고 싶거나 라이벌로 생각되는 선수, 혹은 신경이 쓰이는 선수는?
- 우승자 출신들이 신경 쓰인다. 정종현이 배울점도 많고 제일 잘하는 것 같다.
▼ 박준과 김상철을 지목한 이유는?
- 그동안 계속 테테전 위주로 준비해서 타 종족전 감이 좀 떨어진 상태다. 테란 중에서 친분이 없는 선수들이라 선택했다.
▼ 승강전에 임하는 각오는?
- 떨어질 거란 생각은 1%도 안한다. 무조건 2:0으로 승리하겠다.
▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은?
- 곧 GSTL이 열리는데 이번엔 우리팀이 무조건 우승을 할 테니 많은 응원 부탁드린다.
