GSL Code A Winner
[image loading]
Banner©HawaiianPig

Translated From PlayXP
Winner between
(P)Tassadar vs. (P)Puzzle
+ Show Spoiler +

(P)Puzzle
‘I want to take my revenge on LosirA.’
[image loading]
- 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.
+ Show Spoiler +

▼ 코드A 우승을 차지한 소감은?
- 프프전이라 변수가 많아 불안했는데, 4차관 막는 연습을 많이 해서 이길 수 있었던 것 같다.

▼ 1세트에서 3차관을 하다 4차관에 패했는데?
- 초반에 추적자가 몇 대 맞고 시작해서 긴장했고, 빨리 반응을 못해 졌던 것 같다.

▼ 초반 두 세트를 내주고 시작했는데?
- 화가 났다. 아무것도 해보지 못하고 너무 어이없이 져서 내 스스로에게 화가 났다.

▼ 6세트 중 4차관으로 시작하지 않은 세트가 두 세트정도밖에 없는 것 같았는데?
- 4차관을 많이 하는 편은 아닌데, 상대의 4차관이 너무 셌다. 같은 4차관이지만 상대에 따라 강도가 다르다. 그래서 4차관으로 막고 시작하자고 생각했다. NS호서의 프로토스 선수들은 다른 프로토스들과는 뭔가 다르다.

▼ 첫 코드S 직행 선수가 됐는데?
- 전 시즌엔 승강전에서 6명 정도가 올라갔다. 그래서 코드S 직행이라고 해도 별 다른 것은 없는 것 같다. 문성원 선수 이길 때부터 우승에 대한 생각은 하고 있었다. 코드S 직행은 그 경기 이후 알게 됐다. 굉장히 좋다.

▼ 얼마나 오래 코드S에 머무를 수 있을 것 같은가?
- 코드S에 어울리지 않는 선수들이 있다고 했는데, 그런 분들이 있더라도 코드S는 엄청 어려울 것 같다. 하지만 내가 많이 부족하다고 생각하지는 않는다. 연습만 열심히 하면 코드S에서도 잔류는 100% 할 수 있을 것 같다. 은퇴할 때까지 잔류하겠다.

▼ 황강호와 붙고 싶다고 했는데?
- 상대 전적에서도 밀리고, 서명덕 선수뿐만 아니라 한창 분위기가 좋을 때 예선에서 황강호 선수에게 패했다. 그래서 더욱 붙고 싶다.

▼ 최초의 프로토스 동족전 결승이었는데, 4차관 전략이 주를 이뤘다.
- 나만 4차관 안 쓰는 스타일이 아니라 정석적인 플레이를 선호하는 다른 선수들도 잘 쓰지 않는다. NS호서 팀의 스타일인 것 같다. 변칙적인 전략을 잘 쓰는 것 같다.

▼ 코드S에 임하는 각오는?
- 코드A 때 연습을 많이 한 게 아니라 우승할 거란 확신은 하지 못했다. 코드S에서 우승하려면 이제부터 목숨 걸고 연습을 해야 할 것 같다.

▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은?
- 연습을 도와준 홍성용, 안정민 선수에게 고맙다. 프프전은 연습하면 머리만 아프기 때문에 벼락치기로 연습했다. 생각이 많아지면 머리만 아프다.

Thanks
Yeah, I imagine practicing PvP non stop for 7 days must make you go insane, because each first 5-7 minutes are just the same with a detail or two that can have an huge role. I can't explain weel but I understand his comment about PvP training (even tho I don't play P)

All the winners of code A have been great. Top, Losira, Bomber, and now Puzzle. Code S should be much better now.

did puzzle knock dong rae gu out of code b in the finals?

i love these up-and-coming players when they finally hit code a, was so great seeing Bomber own up. I remember in January people were saying "wait until you see Bomber and Puzzle, they're code s material".
who else have we got incoming (dong rae gu or sage next?)
There can be only none

Let's not overhype Sage... remember when everyone said yonghwa and seed were going to be code S after that GSTL?

They are still good players and show up from time-to-time, but we haven't seem then in code A yet. Let's hold judgment on Sage for now...

Great job to puzzle. When I saw him beat MMA I knew this guy meant business and kind of expected him to win the whole thing.

Puzzle has always been hyped up but he was always back in the seat compare to the hype MMA and Bomber were getting. Its nice to see him in Code S as a strong Protoss. Every Code A champion and finalist has always had solid success in Code S. With players like Coca, Byun, Line and Puzzle, ZeNEX is finally starting to shape into a solid team.
