+ Show Spoiler +

Tell us how you feel about advancing to the Round of 4

Initially, I wasn't too confident about today's match so I'm glad to have won

Why was that?

When I got up this morning, I was really stiff and my hand wasn't quite moving like it normally does. That's why I left for the studio early and got about three hours of practice in before the match. This got rid of the stiffness and allowed me to play good games.

If you were to evaluate today's match?

I was sure I would win 3:0 so I regret dropping a set out of arrogance. I thought I had the first set in the bag so losing it hit me hard.

So did dropping the first set despite getting ahead affect the later sets?

I figured out Leenock's style so it was a breeze.

You tried proxy rax bunker rush several times so was there a particular reason?

The bunkering was to ensure that Leenock would not be able to take his gases quickly. This means that there is no opportunity for Mutalisk play and I am free to do what I want. That's why I focused so hard on early aggression.

Do you have regrets about losing to Rain in Ro16?

Rain had great warp prism harass in his game against Byun. I don't normally watch a lot of VODs so I hadn't quite figured out his style. I think that's why I lost.

Who do you want to face in Ro4?

I don't care. They are both great players so it's hard to predict who will advance anyway.

Sea recently joined your team

It's great to have a Starcraft 1 progamer join our team. I'm sure he has a lot to teach me with his wealth of experience.

Lately, there has been talk that Infestor/Broodlord is an unbeatable combination so what do you think?

Unless it's a map like Metropolis, that is indeed true. On Metropolis, you can skimp out on your ground forces while producing Ravens but on other maps, that is simply impossible. As you produce ground forces to contend with the Zerg, you fail to make enough Ravens to stop the Broodlords.

Anything to add?

As mentioned before, Sea recently joined our team so I hope we get along well. I want to thank our sponsors Twitch TV, Razer, theLittleAppFactory as well as my family at home and the fans who cheer me on.

Your thoughts on advancing to Ro4 for the first time

I thought I would win 3:0 but was caught off-guard by an unexpected strategy in the first set. I'm worried because now I have to go back to school and won't get to practise much.

You sound very confident with that 3:0 call

I almost never lost in practice and lately, I've been doing well in actual games.

How was today's match for you then?

I noticed that I was making mistakes. I don't think I can give myself a score higher than 50~60

When were you certain that you would advance to Ro4?

I think the turning point was in Set 2 where I saved my Zerglings against Hellion harass.

You seem to have grown as a player since joining Startale

It's definitely been helpful. Before, I used to play the game as a hobby but since joining Startale, the coach got me to practise in a structured manner and that's definitely made a differencel.

Your use of Zerglings was impressive

Zerglings have great mobility and are fantastic units in the right hands. I want to make it my trademark unit.

You pulled off a Hatchery ceremony in Set 3

MKP is a player prone to mental breakdowns so that was intentional. Set 4 was proof to me that it had worked.

In Set 4, you pulled off amazing feats like taking down Hellions with Zerglings

Zerglings will beat Hellions any day as long as they close the distance. That's why I was very aggressive with my units.

You face Taeja in Ro4 so how confident are you?

I am a bit worried but with enough practice, a win is possible. I saw his Ro8 match prior to my own and seriously, Leenock didn't play poorly at all and it was more Taeja having superior strategies. I think I need to be on my toes.

Do you want to try taking down the unstoppable Rain in the finals?

Sure, if he makes it that far.

Anything to add?

I want to say thank you to my school teacher who excused me so that I could practise and also Sculp, Sting and the Startale Terrans. I want to thank the sponsors Red Bull, BenQ, Zowie and Joy Gear as well as all the fans who came to cheer me on.

I think it makes sense to wait. This week was meant to be about two players in the Ro8. Stupid to announce right before Taeja's game oh btw we just hired this new guy who was a Kespa player. It will probably be announced tomorrow or later tonight (note : it's 10pm in aus).

why does the interview say taeja's played squirtle with warp prism harass? i'm pretty sure they've never played before..
in WCS he lost to creator and in OSL before he lost to parting o.o


Rain's game against Squirtle. Read again.


rain has never played against squirtle

hmm... I checked again and it seems to be Squirtle in the original article. I'm not sure.

there are three hyun woos in korea though - creator byun and squirtle

pretty sure he meant byun?


haha lol so many hyunwoojwas

Both players were both so confident. Didn't even think they would lose a game.
I hope Life is able to keep up his practice even with school!

Life vs Taeja is going to be an awesome semi-final. Both players are super confident right now. Come on Taeja!

MVP winning a final would give us our first bonjwa.

Rain vs Life would give us a Royal Roader finals, and our firsts royal roaders.

Rain winning would be a punch from Kespa to Esf. Would be cool.

Teaja vs MVP would give us a king of terran vs prince of terrans finals.

How can we choose a favorite player for semi finals ? T_T

You, storywriter and Seeker should get in a Skype group or something to coordinate, maybe even colllaborate

You are all adding a valuable service to the community, thank you

The fact that Sting is still teamless despite being one of the main practice partners for every big-name pro just shows how bad scouting is for foreign teams. The fact that Liquid was the ONLY team even interested in talking to Taeja still blows my mind to this day.

How has no one in this thread mentioned taeja's last response about infestor/broodlord? He's basically verifying what every other Terran (and protoss, and astute spectators) already knew - infestor/broodlord is essentially unbeatable when Zerg gets it all set up unless you have enough ravens...which vs top tier Zergs is really only possible on split maps such as metropolis.

Maybe since it comes from Taeja's mouth people will actually listen...?

if people balanced sc2 based on taeja's opinions, Protoss would have been taken out of the game a while back

Or on the other hand, one can never have enough liquid terrans.

TaeJa when asked for words of reassurance about TVZ: "Zerg is OP and Terran is the worst race."

Very reassuring.

Can't believe no one else was interested in Taeja. For such a long time he was the only terran that could play TvP solidly without relying on 1-1-1s.

Taeja should destroy life if life can't dedicate 100% to the match. Rain should take down MvP.

He has time now, not in the future. He is transferring to another school. Also remember that Life beat Seed without practicing ZvP at all.

Do you want to try taking down the unstoppable Rain in the finals?

Sure, if he makes it that far.

Life has been taking lessons from Parting?

Lately, there has been talk that Infestor/Broodlord is an unbeatable combination so what do you think?

Unless it's a map like Metropolis, that is indeed true. On Metropolis, you can skimp out on your ground forces while producing Ravens but on other maps, that is simply impossible. As you produce ground forces to contend with the Zerg, you fail to make enough Ravens to stop the Broodlords.

I sure can't.

This GSL is fucking nuts. So much talent and backstory.

I would be happy with any of these guys winning.
