http://thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=933244&board=&category=13439Q: Thoughts on advancing to the Code S Round of 8?A: I'm so happy. I was playing in a daze but I won so I'm happy, and yesterday when practicing I was very stressed, but with today's win it feels like I have gotten compensation.
Q: You lost to MVP and got put into a crisis.Q: I predicted that MVP would use that strategy and prepared for it, but because it was a broadcast game I was anxious and made mistakes.
Q: You've secured a Code S seed for next season.A: I'm remaining in Code S so I'm really happy. I'm playing against a Protoss in the Round of 8, so I think I can rise even higher. I usually practice a lot with Puzzle so I am a little worried, but as he is a Protoss I think it's okay.
Q: What did you think of your game with Gumiho?A: My early game build was good so I was confident, but after losing to MVP in the last game I had gotten a little worried. But I think Gumiho was more nervous than me.
Q: You showed a style of using ghosts actively.A: Since I started the game with ghosts and didn't take damage from banshees, I thought it would work. I saw that some players used them on ladders, so I used them and they are good. In cases where you go ghost-expand, your opponent can know you have ghosts, but with this strategy you can the fact that you have them.
Q: Are you confident you can win in the Round of 8?A: I think that I am still only able to show half of my ability in broadcast games. For now, trying to show proper broadcast games is primary.
Q: Anything else you want to say?A: Player Ju-Hoon and NsHS_Sculp really helped me in practice. I really thank them, and I also thank my family for always cheering for me. When I get prize money, I will buy my teammates some drinks.

Q: After experiencing a stagnation, you've risen again to the Round of 8.A: It was a really hard time. I didn't want to fall to Code A again. It was really hard when I was in Code A.
Q: You beat MC twice.A: I didn't think that would happen. I thought if I won the first game I would advance with two wins, but my opponent excluded my management so I was flustered. The game was really messy, but thankfully I rose to the Round of 8 so I'm happy.
Q: Did Patch 1.4.2 have an impact on the games?A: In the game with Puzzle, I excluded the possibility of him getting a fast expansion, but he got one. So I was worried and thought I would lose. My teammates call ghost's EMP "Kong-Al-Tan" [T/N sorry this is some kind of pun and all Google turns up is an adorable dog video]. The area of effect is that small. After the patch games got hard. It's really hard to hit High Templars with EMP.
Q: Lately there's a trend for Protosses to go for heavy upgrades.A: I'm confident about mid-late game management, but I don't know how to end an upgrade-heavy Protoss opponent. Since my management is good, if I can just finish my opponent off well I think I won't have problems in the future.
Q: Who do you want to meet in the Round of 8?A: I think MVP will rise first out of his group, but I want to play against Jjakji. MVP's management is really good so he is a tough opponent, and Gumiho has a lot of strategies so he is demanding. I think out of the three, playing Jjakji would be the easiest.
Q: Are you confident you can advance to the Round of 4?A: If I can just improve my TvT, I think I can try to win. Unlike the other matchups, if I don't get help with TvT it's really difficult.
Q: Anything else you want to say?A: Since I am playing in MLG Providence, tomorrow I'm flying to the United States. Since it is my first foreign competition I hope people will cheer for me a lot. I think if I get out of the open bracket I can advance to the Round of 4.
