Hello TeamLiquid readers,
myMYM conducted an interview with one of the semi-finalists of the GSL May Code S, sCfOu. In this interview, he talks about his performance in GSL, his team, his favourite players, his real life and more. You can find below an excerpt of this interview.
You reached the semi-finals of the GSL May Code S losing to NesTea in a very close match. What do you think about your performance in this tournament? Were you expecting another outcome against a player considered as the best Zerg around?
Nestea doesn't play properly or seriously on ladder, so I thought he wasn't that good but when I played versus him in the GSL MAY Code S semi-finals, he was very good so I was caught off guard.
You managed to top your group consisting of Terran players only. How good do you think your TvT is?
I think my TvT is as good as MarineKing's haha.
You faced another Terran player in the round-of-16, Polt. He is none other than the player who eliminated the two-time GSL winner, MC. Were you confident before this match or were you worried by the fact that he eliminated the best player in the world?
When Polt beat MC, I was a little scared because he seemed better than I thought but when I practiced my TvT, I won almost all my games so I got confidence from that.

Very nice, sCfOu is a great terran!
|
Wow I thought this was a really good interview. The questions lead to very interesting responses... too many to highlight to be honest. I hope sC does well in the future.
|
Not much of a dark horse anymore!
Thanks for the interview.
|
sC is pretty much going to be the next champion. He is so good.
|
Great interview. Not sure I agree on the korean style being better. I think Koreans play more rusky, take that as you may.
|
Wow, someone is a little cocky, saying he's better than MVP in TvT.
|
Hmm I'm surprised sC knows of Select. Has he played him in an FXOpen or something?

Yeh I was thinking the same thing!
Awesome interview guys, really loving all these interviews coming out of Korea recently with the non MC/MVP/NesTea type players
good to know the other guys in the scene a bit better
|
I like that he's very confident
He seems to think very highly of Inca
|
sC's been consistently doing well in the background behind all the hype for other players. Glad to see him get a little spotlight of his own :D
|
Interview sounded nice and happy despite me not really liking the player. Great interview!
|
I don't see why people think sC is all that great. He beat July using really exploitative timing builds and won the first game with NesTea with a bunker rush. In the fifth game, his Tank positioning and control was great, but NesTea made a lot of early mistakes in that game as well.

Oh. very nice to see an interview with sC. He didn't get much respect despite making R8 last season, but I think people really sat up and took note this season with some impressive play across both the TvT and TvZ matches.
I'd speculate his comment re: foreigner vs korean playstyle is somewhat influenced by his first hand exposure @ the fxopen, he won most of his matches vs non-koreans pretty handily, and even when he was in a tricky spot things worked out for him.
Looking forward to seeing what the future holds in store for him!
|
this interview kinda comes off as.. elitist..without the results to back that up.I don't mind if people talk the talk.. but make sure you can walk the walk first <,< if you understand my drift, high placement =/= you are as good as others, like for example how can he say his TvT is as good as foxer who at least has some medals (albeit silvers)
not that i hate the fellow, i just think hes being overrated atm, a couple good games isnt the same as consistently being good for awhile.
|
lol what a joker. sC thinks he's as good at TvT as marineking and a little better in skill than MVP. I totally forgot how young he is. sC will be around for a long time, now if only he played on a better team he could have better practice partners.

Anypro beat July. sC took down Losira.
|
Wow I didn't know he was so young. He's only 16 years old(real age). That's younger than Marineking. He's got a little catching up to do, but I can see why he looks up to MKP given his success and the age likeness.
|
myMYM myEG? Is that a coincidence or is theres some story behind that?

MarineKing Jr is a little cocky or he wasn't very serious (about Bomber and Mvp)?

MKP, not MVP. It was a joke from him, because MKP is renowned for losing TvTs.

Thanks for the interview!
Haha the bit about Nestea not being serious on the ladder but then a monster in life is hilarious.

I think you are taking his answers too seriously. You don`t even know the context in which he said it.
Anyways scfOu is a great player given his age and I am looking forward to more of his play in the future.
|
sc is definetely underrated. He knocked BoxeR/Nestea out of the code s group last season together with san and did very well this time as well.
I really like his playstyle. One of the few terrrans I don't see using drops that much at all.
SC FIGHTING!
|
Protoss is the strongest, Terran is average, Zerg is the weakest.
hmm is this what most pros think?
|
only way he can beat nestea in a bo5 is to find more fancy bunker placements pulling 4-5 scv.
|
Nestea doesn't play properly or seriously on ladder, so I thought he wasn't that good but when I played versus him in the GSL MAY Code S semi-finals, he was very good so I was caught off guard.
He was caught off guard by NesTea???? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? hahahahhaha
That excuse works for San but not the best Zerg in the world buddy

^^^^ didn't read the article >.>
You managed to take him down with a convincing 2-1 series. After beating such interesting Terran players, do you see yourself as good as Bomber, Mvp or NaDa in this match-up?
I think our skill levels are similar but I want to say that I am a little better than them
|
I would like to see a rematch between these two. They are both great players. I'm sure they'll meet again in the GSL soon enough =)
|
sC thinks he's a big shot or what? I guess he's done ok for himself but he's talking pretty big here.

That was not Sc, it was ensanare, Sc was in the same group as inCa MKP and some zerg.

This guy is so underrated. He's gone literally from ro.32 in season 3, ro.16 in season 4, ro.8 season 5 to ro.4 in season 6 losing out in an extremely close series.
Look for this guy in the future
|
Man he is arrogant. Caught off guard by Nestea's skill? Better than MKP at TvT? He's a great player no doubt, maybe I'm just reading to much into it. XD

He said he was as good as MKP at TvT, and I would agree. sC is 17-8 in TvT and MKP is 32-21.
Except MKP is 3-7 in his last 10 and sC is 7-3.
And making it out of the all Terran group, then he beat Polt just this season etc., and he also even beat MKP himself so yes, he is better... but he didn't even say that, he said "as good as"

Ah, my bad then. oops 
Well, sc is still good

I don't really see the Nestea ladder comment as being cocky at all. It just confirms my belief that the large majority of pros don't take ladder seriously and it shouldn't be used to judge player skill at all. Even after Tylers post on it tons of people still go "well he's top of the ladder" as if it matters at all.

I loled.
"I guess I beat him plenty on ladder... time to lulz through this match......... WTF HE SO GOODDDDD" ??
Also, does he...like to just put "haha" at the end of almost every of his answer?
|
Would anyone find this at all interesting if he was super modest..? Nothing wrong with getting some hype out there (not to mention his results other posters above have mentioned)
|
Wow yeah he's only 16? Looked like he could be 20.
Well hurray, sC and Losira and 1 more protoss... then they can be the bonjwa trio of rivals in a few years :D

Don't look only at stats.
MKP 32-21 in Tvt, but how many games played against Mvp?
|
Sounds a little cocky lol. He didn't think Nestea was good because Nestea fooled around on the ladder? How did he not know that pros often try new things on the ladder and don't take it nearly as seriously as pro tournaments?
He was caught off guard by Nestea playing well -.-' lol
|
You guys think he isn't justified?
NesTea won, the sC beat him.
Letting 2 expansions die to 20 mutalisks because he had no turrets was why he lost. He had nestea down to 1 base basically.
NesTea is a baller for crawling out of it, but sC legitly put him in a hole. He didn't cheese, he just outplayed the best zerg in the world until the final 5 minutes where everything feel apart.
He just has some small errors to work out in his play and he will be an amazing terran.

Wow. Pretty long and good interview. Thanks MYM.

Its just a coincidence. Pretty sure myMYM was there first.
Nice interview. Saw this guy play in the FXOpen. Pretty good
|
I watched game five again from the semi final and sC was so impressive.. he contributed just as much to that game as NesTea did. And remember that ridiculous game against San in GSL march?
His playstyle is kind of MarineKing Jr, but that's no bad thing. He's legit good and will continue to be successful.

Great interview. Favorite part:
Movie - Inception
Wonder if he watched with subs/dubs or if he knew english :O

goddamn you people take every comment so seriously just relax for once. he even uses haha's at the end of most of his comments, no reason to start bashing him

Alright, since the last time Mvp faced MKP, he is 3-7 with a loss to sC himself in TvT facing players ranging from aLive, Rainbow, NaDa, MMA, sC, and Supernova.
sC is 7-3 (in his last 10) with a win to MKP himself in TvT facing players ranging from Polt, TOP, Byun, Rainbow, MKP, aLive, Rainbow, and Puma.
Of the players that they both faced, sC beat Rainbow where as MKP lost to him. sC beat aLive where as MKP lost to him. sC beat MKP.
I'm sorry if I wasn't indepth enough.

lol, Yeah all pretty much all the IM guys don't take ladder that seriously. Though i mean when you have such a baller Team to practice with, why would you ladder so often.
SCfou ladders a lot, he probably think its a more legitimate form of practice given his teams weak status. However his play style favors best of 1's, given that he does really well executed/abusive timing attacks.
I feel that anyone that plays consistently against ScFou, would learn and improve from previous games more so than SC would. Therefore If a rematch ever happens that doesn't take place in group stages, i think Nestea will have learned from, the series and won't be as caught off guard by SC's timings.

NesTea won, the sC beat him.
When I was last watching Idras stream, he quit a game immediately on Shattered Temple when NamhchiR dropped two bunkers down blocking his ramp. The resources necessary to overcome such an obstacle (that can itself be refunded nonetheless) for Zerg are gigantic compared to the resources and risk the Terran players takes. Bad maps make for bad play.
SC won the first game with a bunker rush vs Nestea. His bunker win didn't prove who was the better player, it proved that on that map in those circumstances Terran has a build that is incredible difficult to stop vs Zerg (with the bunker going down in an area that makes surrounding difficult, and with SCV's being spammed to "Stop" so drones don't auto-target, forcing a micro nightmare for Nestea). There is literally no good solution for Zerg in that situation (at least that I can think of) unless you have the foresight to lay down creep tumors so you can build Spines near your ramp or make a lot of lings (which means less drones) early, in which case the Terran player can back off and macro and be ahead.
Nestea did this in later games (built lots of lings), and it showed why Nestea is so much better. His macro exploded and he took out SC, despite committing far more resources to defend SC's rush, than SC committed to the rush.

He couldn't keep up with Nestea to save his life in a Macro game. Crossfire is a bad map.

So MKP is better than him in online off server events, and sC is better in offline long preparation type events. They're two different types of players I guess, so yes, I take back that he is better, and back to what he said. He is as good as MKP in TvT

Think of it as more like having the parents hold onto and manage the money for them, rather than straight up giving the money away.

Protoss is the strongest, Terran is average, Zerg is the weakest.
Wow, what typical zerg QQ from the terran player....

This kid has an insane amount of potential and is definitely one of the few who can dominate the SC2 scene in the future

giving money to the parents doesnt mean the parents go out and buy something for themselves. most likely the money is going towards paying the house or into the bank for the kid.
nestea is a lot better than sc it wuld appear since nestea went pool first with many lings every game sacrificing his econ greatly but still winning

From what I've heard on korea it's still really hard to hold off 2-rax with trickier bunker placement and sc goes 2-rax every games without concerns for map size. The thing is 2-rax is still pretty strong against pool first because it can still grab map control back from the speedlings pretty quickly.

You can't makae EG.net and nearly everything 4 words or less is taken. It was probably copied from myMYM or something i dont know but the companies have no ties to each other, other then the name.
ClanEG was taken at the time and still is i believe.

SC didn't take NesTea seriously so... thats nestea's fault? After the first game SC should of figured it out.

ye it was kinda sad, when sC lost to NesTea, i really wished sC had won.
2-3 is a hell of a good score vs zergbong, almost beat the guy who eats terrans for breakfast

Listen buddy, winning with "Zerg macro" doesn't mean the Zerg is better or played better. Getting 20-60 supply ahead in the midgame doesn't mean Zerg is 'outplaying' anyone. It means jack shit. You know why? Because the races all work differently. In Brood War Zerg might be at less than 20 supply when Protoss is almost at 50. Is it because every Zerg player just can't macro as well as Terran or Protoss? In your view is Terran supposed to go for NR 15 games expecting at that point to be even with Zerg?

If a rematch gets me a game as epic as Game 5 between sC and NesTea then I am all for it! Great interview btw (:
|
Nestea vs Sc was so entertaining. A show match would be quite epic. Maybe a match in the GSTL if IM were in it...
|
sC is quite a good player. Really impressed by him getting to the ro8 and then the ro4 in back to back seasons.
|
He cheesed out Losira then said Losira is overrated, lol.

Lol, sounds like Idra. There is no 'properly,' only winning and losing. Here's to more s-classers sandbagging on ladder, haha.
|
- If you use a strategy on battlenet it goes around pretty quickly, any complaints?
(Nestea) – I am extremely dissatisfied. When I ladder I cannot use a build that I would regularly use. So rather than taking the ladder seriously, I use it as fun or recreation. I use the ladder to feign weakness and I also use weird builds to play mind games on possible opponents.
NesTea's mind games worked like a charm it seems. I don't know why you underestimate the best Zerg in the world though, maybe because he though "Well he just hasn't faced me yet except on ladder when I beat him a lot"
And to the above poster... no it's not like IdrA. NesTea probably does ridiculous builds or stupid stuff for "fun" and sC thought that's how good he actually is based on that play.

Nestea doesn't play properly or seriously on ladder, so I thought he wasn't that good but when I played versus him in the GSL MAY Code S semi-finals, he was very good so I was caught off guard.
hahahahaha it is so unbelievably funny that this actually worked in the semi-finals of the GSL. NesTea hustled the crap out of sCfOu (but just barely)

im wondering, like alot of players want to support their parents with their prizemoney. is this just a culture thing in korea or even the far east or am i missing something? giving money to the parents doesnt mean the parents go out and buy something for themselves. most likely the money is going towards paying the house or into the bank for the kid.
The money thing also might have to do with the fact that most progamers are less than 25 years old, so it makes sense that they might want their parents to manage some of their money.

when did people start saying scfou was good? Besides this game, the only other one I've seen was where he went for a weird marine all in against another player and got raped. I don't remember the other matches but I know he got stomped in them too.

I wonder if the "Haha's" is about him being either nervous for being his first international interview or if he just not being very serious

You mean the marine all-in he beat Losira with?
Can't work out if serious or not since you seem to "know" what is actually completely false =S

maybe the haha's are a phrase in korean that don't translate over well. regardles, an intersting interview, sC has been underrated and it's good to see fOu players competing. more good teams = more good games

Wow I didn't know he was so young. He's only 16 years old(real age). That's younger than Marineking. He's got a little catching up to do, but I can see why he looks up to MKP given his success and the age likeness.
Also sc and Marineking are good friends.

Well hurray, sC and Losira and 1 more protoss... then they can be the bonjwa trio of rivals in a few years :D

And making it out of the all Terran group, then he beat Polt just this season etc., and he also even beat MKP himself so yes, he is better... but he didn't even say that, he said "as good as" Don't look only at stats. MKP 32-21 in Tvt, but how many games played against Mvp? Alright, since the last time Mvp faced MKP, he is 3-7 with a loss to sC himself in TvT facing players ranging from aLive, Rainbow, NaDa, MMA, sC, and Supernova. sC is 7-3 (in his last 10) with a win to MKP himself in TvT facing players ranging from Polt, TOP, Byun, Rainbow, MKP, aLive, Rainbow, and Puma. Of the players that they both faced, sC beat Rainbow where as MKP lost to him. sC beat aLive where as MKP lost to him. sC beat MKP. I'm sorry if I wasn't indepth enough.
check the most recent FXOpen final . I think MKP has changed his TvT play style recently. He plays very standard now and gets some very good results (vs MMA in GSL, vs sc in FXOpen).

They're two different types of players I guess, so yes, I take back that he is better, and back to what he said. He is as good as MKP in TvT
I don't know man. They only played ONE ''offline'' game so far.
Btw, they are good friends, similar age.

Not everyday you see Terran put Zerg as weaker than them.
|
Considering his age, I think he has a lot of potential.
|
Great interview . It would be fun to see MKP vs sC now and see who is better heh.

Yeah, He will be a serious threat in the future, Looking forward to see him in the GSTL, hopefully he gets paird against MKP and Losira again : )

Last week, MKP 3:1 and 3:2 SC (two Bo5) in FXOpen finals.

I don't really think you should base your opinion of a player on the ladder games that they two of you have played, I am sure that most of the pros are not really in try hard mode when they ladder for the most part.

sc has a good future and i dont blame him for exploiting the fast hatches, but serious LOL at underestimating a GSL champion based on ladder games.
i think he was joking around a lot in this interview. he would get smacked down hard by Bomber in a straight TvT.

Great Spoiler in the title. -.-

The thing is that they both played on NA server, so even if it was for 900$ (that's quite a lot since semi-finalists gain about 4.5k$ I guess?) it can't really showcase who would have won in a better environment. Anyways MKP trains for normal TvT.

Yeah. Bomber is dominating atm.
Still 7 years younger than Bomber...

Yeah, I love sC but that is funny that you'd underrestimate a GSL champion and hugely respected player based off ladder games, I do hope that wasn't serious lol.
He's a great player who's been very consistent this year. I've been impressed with him ever since that Ro8 series vs San and his abusive amulet HT's style, which he dealt with well, he's been improving ever since so the qqzergs will have to deal with it.
He sounds very confident, but in interviews you often hear Korean players say similar answers. It's either that or the "i'll do my best" type answers, and even then i doubt he's that serious.

gj Swain =) awesome interview
|
Nestea playing mindgames even on ladder...
|
I guess the feedback for my first interview is good. Is there anything you would like to for the next one?
Also, some of you take his answers way too seriously 
|
Hm sorry but ... where was Bomber in this GSL ?
sC is looking strong atm ! He looks very cool haha

Bomber is the winner of GSL May Code A - He defeated Mvp in final.

Shouldnt this be highlighted?

Loved the bit about Nestea playing bad on ladder. Why the hell would SC not think he's good? Does he not listen to Artosis at all?
Well clearly not.
But come on now.

I'm pretty sure that sC was not being serious, he knows that ladder means nothing (Mvp isn't even grandmaster...).

sCfOu is indeed a great Terran, and seeing he's only 16 is sick!

sC is one of my favorite players.. I also like the cockiness... i think it gives him some more character. I hope he gets his rematch.
