How long do you think it will take before you conquer SC2?

I have no idea either. If I had some game sense I wouldn't be nervous at all and playing in official matches wouldn't be much of a burden, but right now my understanding of the game is still not that great compared to BW so I'm not sure. However I think it might be possible within one year.

Thank you for the interview. What does Hyung mean? I guess its some kind of respectful way to adress NesTea.

You made it through the Code A qualifiers on your first try.

The maps were not very good. On top of that there was a weird patch so it was really difficult. However I'm happy that my hard work paid off in results.

Which match was the hardest today?

The final match against wOn was the hardest. First off the maps were not Terran favoured. I'm not sure if it's because they're trying to tweak the balance, but it's changed for the worse for Terrans. They should have changed the Code S maps first, I don't know why they changed the Code A maps first. So that made it difficult for me.

It hasn't even been a month since you announced you were making the switch to SC2. Are you happy with the speed with which you are Conquering?

This qualifier is the last one this year so I didn't want to miss this opportunity. If I didn't make it I wouldn't have the chance to play this year, but it worked out the way I wanted.

Out of all the players who switched from BW you are the one with the most recent championship so a lot of fans are looking forward to how you do.

I am aware of the fan's anticipations. However the time that I won was short and it was a long time ago so I don't remember it anymore. I want to return to my roots and play games.

You chose oGs because of your connection with oGsGon. But he is entering the army soon.

I am a little disappointed, but it's not like he's leaving as soon as I joined. Now I'm somewhat settled in with my teammates so I don't have any worries. He is getting up there in age so I'm hoping he settles into the military life well.

Terrans are playing the part of the villains in the GSL. You are also a Terran, does that matter to you?

It doesn't matter. Terran players prepare to win so there ends up being all-ins and strong builds, but it was unfortunate that all they get in return is criticism. I'm also a gamer and a Terran so I could empathize with them.

Thanks to the changes to the format the qualifiers and even getting into Code S have gotten a little easier.

I think it worked out well for me. It's a format that allows Code A players to have an easier time of moving up. For now I'm just satisfied with making it into the GSL and I will be working towards my next goal.

What is your first Code A goal?

For now it's getting into Code S.

You'll be starting from Code A but is there anyone you want to face in Code S?

If I get the chance I hope to play with Nestea hyung. Before I joined oGs I played against Nestea-hyung to try and understand the TvZ match up and I ended up losing every game. I've gotten a bit better at TvZ so I want to face him again.

How long do you think it will take before you conquer SC2?

I have no idea either. If I had some game sense I wouldn't be nervous at all and playing in official matches wouldn't be much of a burden, but right now my understanding of the game is still not that great compared to BW so I'm not sure. However I think it might be possible within one year.

What is your ultimate goal that you want to achieve with your switch to SC2?

For now winning Code S is my biggest goal. I haven't set any other detailed goals other than that. I'm thinking of just taking it one match at a time in preparation.

Is there anything you'd like to say before we end this interview?

Today is my mother's brithday. Thankfully I was able to win and do an interview. Happy birthday mother. And oGsGon-hyung has decided to go to the army. I was able to join oGs thanks to oGsGon, but it's not like he's leaving permanently so I hope he takes care of himself. In the real deal I beg that the maps are a bit more balanced. I am the only Terran that made it through today. It's way too harsh. Lastly, thank you to our sponsors Mom's Touch and Corsair.

Wow nestea owned him.

But i agree with what he said, the terrans may be owning code S but its unfair to make the maps in code A so stacked against Terrans who may be deserving. There are still a lot of mediocre terrans in code S who should be knocked out instead and let other more deserving players of all races take over. Not try to force only protosses/zergs into code A.

Forgg is close with Nestea since they were on the same BW team, so he calls him hyung, which means older brother.

I think that's GOMTvT trying their best to rename themselves. This at least proves that he's pretty good if he's the only one to make it through.

Timing attacker is back!!!

Wishing him the best in his upcoming Code A run. I honestly believe he's at the top 4 and then advance to Code S pretty soon. BW-trained mechanics + new timing attacks, yay!

Congratulations to fOrGG! Wishing him the best, even if it does mean another Terran will make his way into Code T

To be honest,

I'm not surprised at all. The work ethic is about to pick up.

First off, congratulations to Creator and fOrGG. Especially Creator. He's not a hugely innovative Protoss from what i've seen, but he's always been jumping around from first round of code A and just barely missing qualifying so i'm happy he's made it in again. I hope he's finally gotten over his nerve issues and can stick around this time.

Second, I don't even know where to start. I felt like one of the BW faithful and i was reading this in the BW section. I have to side with everyone saying fOrGG was not a legend. He wasn't even S class!!! I view him more as a shooting star. Definitely a noteworthy player, but he had his time to shine and was already fading if not fizzled out. Next, everyone still super hyping him up or speculating about it. I've watched all his games (and you should too, ESV broadcasts are up in their twitch tv account) that i could for the ESV weekly and he is not super impressive. He still makes A LOT of mistakes. The KT thing i'll only touch on since it's hard to say from an outside perspective, but the main point is, there is still more money in BW than in SC2. Why would you drop a guaranteed large paycheck (talking about their top players here)??
