Nestea winning during zerg darkest hour making it even more exciting!
[image loading]
Q: Congrat on winning! Feelings?
A: Very happy to be the 1st zerg player to take 2 GSL championship. Today matches went out the same as during practice, thus making me very excited.

Q: You seemed to win easily.
A: I am feeling distressed back then, because I kept on thinking whether to cheese on the 1st set or the 3rd set. In the end I felt that the 1st set is very important, and the result is good too. Opponent seemed to lose his flow due to the failure of 1st set.

Q: How do you prepare against the new patch?
A: When I play I do not feel an major difference. I feel there is not much change.

Q: As of now, Team IM has never lose a final.
A: MVP is a really great player. Basically, Mvp and I will never get nervous during a final. Ro32 or Ro16 might feel a little nervous. The higher we climb the more stable we get. Thus able to play out exactly like during practice.

Q: To take the throne during the zerg darkest hour. As a leading zerg player, are you stress?
A: Very stress but, this is also my motivation to work hard. If there is no such things happening I might turn lazy. Therefore on the contary, this has helped me greatly.

Q: The difference of prize money between you and MC is only 500w thousand korea money.
A: I can see the money ranking at GSL official webpage. When I was ranked #1 I thought I could slowly play, then MC caught up. This revelation shocked me, and it became my turning point to work hard. I hope within this year I could earn 2.5 billion korea money.

Q: If you are in Super Tournament finals, who do you want to face?
A: Mc or Mvp.

Q: Give some vZ tips to other zerg players.
A: I dont know what to say, basically you have to lose alot in order to know it. If you lose alot, slowly you will understand.

Q: Last words?
A: Finally taking another championship after 6 months. I feel these 6 month is awfully long. After taking the championship today I will not become overconfident nor will I turn lazy. Even as of now, I don't feel zerg is strong. Still, I will use next championship as my goal to work hard.

Seed helped me alot, as though as it was his final. I greatly thank him. Mother is always supportive of me, thus giving me strength to keep on fighting. I thank my mother and my brother from my heart. My girlfriend's support helped me practice comfortably, I would like to use this opportunity to tell her I love her.

Also, thank my fans for always supporting me. I will not let any of you down. I will perform even more exciting matches as a tribute for all of you. Also thank Coka-Cola company as IM team sponser.

What does that have to do with anything? Also, spoiler.

NesTea was great last night. Inca obviously opened DTs to try to prevent the Roach/Ling pressure that Zergs have been using but NesTea adapted easily and won every game with sick attacks.

"Nestea winning during zerg darkest hour making it even more exciting!"

this is definitely not zerg's darkest hour - see GSL season 1.

as time goes on it's pretty obvious that zerg is not only capable of competing with the other races but also capable of winning plenty of tournaments

At the time i read this interview, i had the impression it was translated by some tool (especially because the money thing). Sorry if i am wrong ^^. Probably meaning another Code S finals or the Superchampion thing.

Thanks in any way. Was understandable GJ

Sorry, I do not noe how 2 translate money value. Because I translate from chinese source and chinese do not use multiplier of x3 x6 x9 in their money. So I have many troubles.

Lets be honest this finals showed us nothing of the current state of the game. All it showed us was that if u do the same build 3 games in a row you will get stomped. Inca never even made a colos.

Zerg darkest what ?
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes
