Q: Thoughts on passing through the Up and Downs and advancing to Code S?
A: Last week in the Code A finals I lost completely so I wasn't able to meet my goal of advancing directly. I was fretting about the Up and Downs, but I was confident I could advance so I wasn't very worried. It seems like the games went like I wanted so I was able to advance.

Q: It must have been a shock losing to Curious 0:4 in the Code A finals.
A: Before the games with Curious I had a perfect record against Zergs. Furthermore, I had been doing well in practice against Zergs, so I thought I would win. So I mainly focused on my mental state rather than practice, but Curious researched my play well. After I lost the second set, my mental state got bad, and it seems like I collapsed of my own doing. I want to meet Curious again in Code S and get revenge.

Q: What did you think of today's games?
A: I put a lot of importance on the first game against Terran while I practiced. Whether you win or lose the first game in the Up and Downs is really important, so I had to calm my nerves, but then I won easily so I was able to ride the momentum.

Q: You are being called one of the “New Type” Protosses.
A: A lot of things are being said about me, but I'm not especially aware of them. I think if I play at the level of MC, then I will be able to hear that I am good. I think I will accept those kinds of ratings if I can do well in Code S.

Q: What did you think when you saw your group?
A: After I lost in the finals, I looked at the group layouts and saw that my group had two other Protosses. Usually my PvT isn't especially good, but since the only Terran was Keen I felt content.

Q: What's your goal for next season?
A: I think it has been a month since I advanced through the qualifiers. I had a desire to advance straight to Code S after the preliminaries, and then things went as I wanted so I feel good and I want to show a good result in Code S too. Ganzi won Code A last season then made it all the way to the Round of 4 of Code S. I would like to show a good result like Ganzi. But since there are so many Terrans I'm worried.

Q: Anything else you want to say?
A: Our team's players helped me a lot. Startale's Squirtle and Ace also gave me a lot of advice. I really want to thank them. I was able to advance to Code S, so I won't prepare carelessly and I will show a good result in the upcoming WCG and Code S. There aren't many Protosses in Code S now, but I hope that they can all cheer up and practice hard. Finally, I want to say that I hope Lucky will do well in his games tomorrow.

Q: Thoughts on advancing to Code S after a close match?
A: I lost the first game and had a big blow to my mental state, but some friends cheered me on so I was able to pull myself together. I really thank them. After I lost the first game I thought I would remain in Code A.

Q: Did you like the group composition?
A: There were three Protosses so I liked it. I had a long break after I got knocked out of Code A, but because my ZvP hadn't worsened I felt confident.

Q: What did you think of game 2 against JYP?
A: I thought that if I could win either my game against JYP or against Keen I could advance, but I didn't know that game would be that difficult.

Q: You won after a base trade, but you must have been very worried.
A: Compared to the other matchups, lately I feel best about my ZvP. It seems like today's decision to base trade was good. Lately my decisions in practice are good so there are a lot of situations where I win in comebacks.

Q: You were in a situation where if you lost the last game you would be knocked out.
A: I felt confident that I could advance if I won either my first or my second game. It was possible for me to advance comfortably based on the ninth game, but that didn't happen so I was disappointed. That was a little regrettable.

Q: You had stayed in Code A for a long time, but now you've advanced to Code S.
A: I had stayed in Code A longer than Leenock, so this is really surprising. Even this time I just got good luck; my skills don't feel on the Code S level.

Q: What kind of games do you want to play in Code S?
A: Usually there are a lot of things I need to practice, but since I practice more with other players than on ladder the number of games is rapidly decreasing. I think if I can just fix that I will be able to show good games in Code S.

Q: What's your goal next season?
A: Since my first goal was to get through the Up and Down matches today, I haven't yet set a goal for next season. I think I will go home and start worrying about it.

Q: Anything else you want to say?
A: I want to thank NsHoSeo's Sia, San, Tassadar, and Shuttle for their help in practice. If there are any players whose names I forgot to mention I hope they will understand.
When I saw today's B group players, I counted myself out and thought they were all very good. So I decided I absolutely had to win (laughs). I hope that the players who got knocked out will not get too distressed. I want to thank the Director for guiding me well.

Thanks for translations!!!

So surprised yugioh made it through (slayers player so happy about that), but still would've liked to see how JYP would stand up in Code S.

Also Oz is a baller!! Remember him beating boxer in last round of qualifiers, and i was like DAMN YOU!! good to see he came so far

If he is going to stay in Code S this is going to have to change XD

Thanks and yea for the generic slayers interviews. You just copy pasted the interview from yesterday's Puzzle that you copied from Taeja's interview, right ? xD

At least Oz shows a little personality, interesting he doesn't rate his vT highly :o
