How do you feel about making it to your first ever OSL Ro4?
I am so glad that I've been able to make it to the Ro4 for my very first OSL. I think I'm going to have prepare more and more from here on out.
Why do you say this?
Honestly, I focused more on my build orders rather than practice today. I picked my build orders as I was there at the studio. But since I have a Terran opponent coming up next, I will have to prepare more tightly for that.
You are considered to be the best SC2 KeSPA player.
I'm really not pretending to be humble here. I don't understand why I keep winning my games even though my skills are still lacking. I feel like people are going to figure me out sooner or later so I am afraid of that. Skill wise, I'm still not the best.
It seemed like PartinG was trying things out in his games against you.
I wasn't really planning on playing defensive as I tried to block all his attacks. Which is why I used a phoenix play style twice. Instead of trying to just block my opponent's attacks, I just went along with what I saw was coming. I think that kind of play worked well for me.
In game one, after scouting him with your phoenix, you immediately blocked your entrance with a pylon.
I saw PartinG use that exact same build order on that map against Seed before. So I expected DTs the minute I saw his gateways.
In game two, it seemed like you were chasing PartinG.
I faced a bit of a disadvantage after I sent my stalkers out. That's why I was in a really bad situation. But PvPs are all about waiting till 200/200 so I decided to wait it out. PartinG attacked me first so I was able to win the battle and the game.
Were you affected at all after your loss in game three?
I really had no idea he would do a build order like that. Personally, I was impressed by his ballsiness. And after seeing today's games, I noticed that PartinG doesn't really scout well. So I decided to go for a four gate for game four.
For the 2012 GSL Season 4 Code S, you've made it to the Ro8.
Since I made it to the Ro4 for the OSL, I know that one more victory in the GSL means that I'll be in two Ro4s. But as of right now, I don't really feel the pressure from worrying over results. In my BW days, I would feel so pressured because I would worry about the results. That's why these days, I just tell myself to enjoy myself and that seems to be working splendidly.
How much do you practice these days?
I don't necessarily practice a ton but I don't practice a little either. I guess I could say that all I do is eat and play games? (laughs)
It seems like the KeSPA players have caught up to the GSL players by a heavy margin.
I think KeSPA players have finally become equalized with GSL players. We know the build orders and we understand the game now. But I think we still have some details we need to work out. This applies to me as well. Since SC2 is so versatile, the player who practices the most always seems to win.
Your Ro4 opponent will be either Flash or Last.
If I want to make it easily to the finals, Last should come up (laughs). This is my honest feeling. Flash has a ton of experience and his skills these days are top notch. But I wouldn't mind facing Flash in the end. They're both Terran, so I have confidence.
Anything else you would like to say?
I want to thank the fans for cheering today. I said that I would make it to the Ro4 during the group nominations and I am so glad that this came true. I only need to win against one more player to make it to the finals so I promise that I will win at least one more time.

Awesome! i always like to read interviews!
|
Unbelievable this guy. Royal road inc!
|
Thanks for translating! I kind of want him to be a royal roader in dual leagues. Wouldn't that be something
|
If Flash wins tomorrow, I don't know who to cheer for in the RO4 T_T
Thanks for the translation!
|
I can only hope he walks the Royal Road to OSL gold. Yeah Sun! Thanks for the translation, Seeker.
|
lol if he wins both osl and gsl people would go mad.
|
Rain seems like a good guy.
|
This guy is like a big ELEPHANT. holy f. he keeps stomping everyone.
|
The thought of an SKT player winning both leagues..:OOO...that'd be insane
|
Royal road in GSL and OSL incoming? 
|
This man is killing it left and right! I dunno who I want to win more.. Flash or Sun.
Dual championships incoming (dam i miss the MSL)

sun will win osl and gsl this season. he handles himself so well and his mindset is really amazing, reminds me of flash when he started beating everyone.
|
"PvPs are all about waiting till 200/200" Wow, who ever thought we'd hear that in SC2

I feel the same. Each season, I always have a player I expect to win GSL by the Ro8. I picked Rain this time. For the OSL, I felt less confident because he had to face PartinG, who, even though he has a mediocre PvP win rate, is a player I really respect. But after this victory, I'm feeling Rain will win OSL.
|
Sun is a very smart player. He's impressing me quite a bit.
PvP Rules:
+ Show Spoiler +1. Reach 200 pop.
2. Do you have stalkers in your army? Kill them.
3. Replace with archons.
4. Win.

Toss elephant is coming TT
thanks for the interview, Rain is really confident somehow

By.Sun just have to crush Flash/Last in Ro4 since SKT wasn't even in the finals of Prolegue - to even things up, you know.
|
This guy is sooo good, totally solid in every way.
|
He is very talented, hearing how he adapted his play to suit parting throughout the set, so smart. I think he will reach the final of the osl, maybe not the gsl, but whatever he achieves from now on will just be a bonus to an amazing first two SC2 tournaments for Sun.
|
always so humble. ro4 vs flash would be very interesting, dont think flash can win

lol Rain is so funny. He is not quite sure why he keeps on winning because he is lacking in skill? lol
|
Although I'm T I really love his play(style). He really seems to be on fire.
|
It will be funny if byrain wins both OSl and GSL lol.
|
Wouldn't it be awesome if he got a double royal road? That would just be nuts, and not entirely out of the question given how good he is.
|
By.Sun has become the new Golden Boy of SC2?
|
A round of 4 of Rain, Flash, MC and DRG would be insane. How many better Ro4s could you think of? You have probably the best Kespa player, the best Bw player ever and then the best Sc2 protoss ever and then arguably the best zerg ever/currently in Sc2.
And then we are guaranteed a eSF/KeSPA final which would be sick (as long as it isnt Rain v. MC)

I want Rain to do well, but if Flash faces him in the Ro4, I'm sorry but I'll be rooting for Flash.
If he's against anyone else though, RAIN FIGHTING! :D

And he still answers questions the same way, "What just happened? I'm not supposed to be here."

i wonder if there's any truth to it. He did say he's not being humble. Perhaps there are players that he knows are actually better?

For sure perhaps other players show more chops in practice, but he should be a bit more proud of the great play he's shown thus far!

I'd say it'd be even more awesome if Flash won the OSL and Rain won the GSL.
It's like bringing the battle of which is the best KT straight into the faces of the other teams ^^
|
Its also possible for Rain to win WCS Asia in October and WCS Global finals in November....fucking MAJESTIC road ahoy!!
|
if he wins gsl and osl, perhaps he will be the only guy ever to win both same time xD

The OSL VOD system on Twitch is complete trash right now. No spoilers placeholders, every game is a separate VOD! Who can we contact to get this fixed, they just ruined Parting vs. Rain for me by game number 2.

Yea, it worked fine for ro16 but they need to change it for the bo5s.

I fucking love Rain.
Not often in the last few month I just sat down and watch a game without doing anything else besides. But Rain made me do it
|
Rain fighting! Great interview & thanks for translating it.
