[Int] GSL July Code A Winner

Puzzle
‘I want to take my revenge on LosirA.’

- You just won code A. How do you feel?
I was a bit worried because PvP can be so volatile, but I think I was able to win because I practiced a lot in order to stop 4 gates.

- In the first game, you went 3 gates and lost to a 4 gate.
I was nervous because it was the first game and got hit by some stalker shots which was the result of my poor reaction to the rush.

- You started off by losing the first 2 games.
I was angry. It felt like I did nothing during the first two games and just kind of lost, so I began to get angry at myself.

- By set 6, you started with 4 gates so often that it felt like you didn’t do 4 gate only for 2 games or so.
I don’t usually like to do 4 gate, but my opponent’s 4 gate was too strong. I could only match him when I went 4 gate as well. So I began each match with a defensive 4 gate. I think NSHoSeo protosses are definitely at a different level than most other protosses.

- You became the first person to advance to code S by winning code A.
Even last season, during the up and down matches, 6 out of 8 code A players advanced to code S. So getting into code S right away doesn’t seem to be that different. After I beat MMA I only had victory in my mind. I knew that I would advance to code S after I won that match. I feel great right now.

- How long do you think you will retain your code S spot?
I have said previously that some players in code S do not deserve it, but even with those people in there, I believe code S is an extreme challenge. However, I do not think I am that far behind any of them. As long as I practice hard, I believe the chance that I retain my spot is 100%. I believe I will keep it until I retire.

- You said before you wanted to face LosirA.
I have an overall losing record against him and BanBanssu. I also lost to him (LosirA) during the preliminaries when I felt like I could make it. So I want to face him even more because of that.

- It was the first PvP finals at the GSL and it was full of 4 gates.
I am not the only player who doesn’t like 4 gates. Many protoss players now prefer to play more standard now rather than doing that. But I guess it just is the NSHoSeo style to do this strategy. I think they just like to use strategies that are against the trend.

- Your ambition going into code S?
I didn’t practice as much as I should have to be perfectly sure to secure my victory in code A. So in order to win code S, I think I will need to practice like my life was on the line.

- Any last comments?
I want to thank Yong and cOre for helping me practice. Practicing PvP can be mindnumbing so we just crammed the practice in a short time. It hurts when you have to think so much about the matchup.
