SlayerSCoca

[image loading]

Your thoughts on carrying your team to victory with the three kills?

With today's three kills, I am now in first place in regard to the kill count in GSTL and on top, SlayerS is now in the finals which makes it all the more meaningful.

Did you prepare specifically for Polt?

I was going for both Polt and Inori. So I practised mostly ZvT and ZvP. However, TSL is a Zerg powerhouse so I got enough practice in that match up also. That's why I was confident about taking the last game as well.

You're on fire in GSTL so what's driving you?

I used to get really nervous in the team league unlike in the individual league. However, once I started to take win after win, the nervousness disappeared and with an all kill, I was set. I think everything's been going right since then. That's why I'm confident that I can take multiple kills against any team that's out there.

If Puzzle takes three or more kills in the finals, he will overtake you in the kill count

I have a feeling I'll be sent out before him though since he's the ace. After today's match, he told me off for ending the match with three kills before he could come out (laugh).

The ZvZ against HyuN was fiercely back and forth

I thought I was in for an easy time with the damage I inflicted with banelings early on but after losing out in engagements, I was backed into a corner. I despaired at one point after losing four infestors. It was such a desperate game that I could not be sure of the win right until the end.

What's the reason you didn't get level 3 carapace?

It's too expensive. I saw no need for it

How do you expect the finals against FXO will go?

As long as my team mates work hard and do well, we can take this (T/N: sounds like he's teasing them). If I get the chance, I will take multiple kills once again.

Do you feel like you are now as skilled as you once were?

I think I'm almost there. Only thing is I'm having a hard time financially so I hope to win some money in the team league (laugh).

You are playing in the dual tournament next week

After seeing MC walk over DRG in ro4, I felt that I needed more practice.

Anything to add?

I want to thank BoxeR and Jessica as well as Cella who is having to work so hard. I hope Puzzle doesn't bear a grudge even if I get the most-kill award (laugh).

Man, MMA & CoCa pretty much switched spots in terms of being the glory & the shamed of the SlayerS team.

Thanks SW, Coca bossed it up today. Really cool to see Slayers able to win while missing a lot of their key players and dealing with this drama.

All the favorites got down fast, IM,prime,liquid,startale were dissapointing, at least tsl and mvp made it to semis, but no one would expect fxo vs slayers lol

Should be a great final, great to see SlayerS doing so well when they lost their entire Terran core (except the true son of Boxer, of course)

Mixed feeling, I support SlayerS and MMA too... I want both of them to be successful just like old time.
Marine is Terran strongest unit but it might be Terran's biggest weakness. Bcos of Marine so OP, other Terran unit regrettably have to be weak..

SlayerS is still not paying some form of salary to their A-team? Makes me sad, they do have some decent sponsoring after all.

Mhhm, why? I agree that SlayerS doesn't need to disclose anything, but us fans have a choice in who we cheer for as well. And subjective stuff like this makes a huge part in team allegiance, in eSports and real sports alike. Maybe he was more of a MMA fan than a SlayerS fan, so why should he continue to support a team he feels has a taint now?
Because SlayerS feels entitled to its fans, maybe?

I thought it was well known that most Korean sc2 teams don't pay salary to all their players on the A team, if any.

Sad to hear that Coca is having financial troubles. It just goes to show how much he lost out on for throwing that game. He was in the GSL and could have made money from other tournaments along the way. Such a shame.

Here's hoping he gets more chances at foreign tournaments. Maybe to IPL5 as the Slayers representative.

I could imagine myself being a bit miffed if my favorite sports team demoted my favorite player without any explanation. I suppose it is a lame reason, but teams are no more entitled to our support than we are entitled to know everything about how they're managed.

Man, if Slayers ever actually manages to have Coca, Puzzle and MMA actually playing at the same time they will be completely unstoppable.

We did, and FXO beat us last GSTL season. Oz took out Puzzle and Coca, and MMA lost to...Choya

But let's focus on the now. Great to see Coca doing so well, and congrats to him for making the top of the GSTL in individual performance. I do feel kind of bad about him having financial problems though, so I hope he can do well in the OSL (sorry MC, but cash isn't a problem for you I would hope :p ).
