You successfully advanced to the Round of 16.

I'm not happy about today's games so much as I'm happy about being able to go to the group nominations. There were many deficiencies in my play today that I'll have to compensate for.

What was lacking in your play today?

In my second set against HerO, I had already seen his all-in attack coming and was in an advantageous situation, but I wasn't able to adapt as smoothly as I do in practice.

Your won your final set against HerO without much difficulty. HerO has frequently shown a lack of confidence during interviews.

I had a lot of worries about ZvP today; I wasn't concerned about losing my ZvTs. HerO will have to stay in Code A for another season of training.

During your second set against HerO, you were thrown off balance by your opponent's Warp Prism harassment and defeated with a Mothership Vortex. You must have felt a lot of regret over that game.

I was in a great position during that game, and even when I was at a disadvantage, I could have won using Neural Parasite. Even though it doesn't show on my face, I feel regretful that I wasn't able to recover from the situation.

You blocked your opponent's Immortal rush to win the final game. Did your opponent not put enough soul into his attack?

The situations were different. PartinG begins his rush without having taken damage from any Zergling attacks. I anticipated an Immortal attack in advance and made quick Zerglings to injure him during the early game, and I was already well-prepared to block Immortal rushes [due to practice].

How did you prepare for today's games?

I had to face every race for today's group, but time was too tight for me to prepare for all three matchups. I have always had a lot of confidence in my ZvZ, so I just prepared some builds for that matchup and didn't practice further.

You have made it to the group nominations. Do you have anyone whom you would like to pick in particular?

Because there aren't many players in the Round of 16 yet, I'm not sure. Every player in Code S is strong, but I will choose the ones whom I deem to be Code A-level in order to reach the quarterfinals.

Do you have any last words?

I want to thank my team's sponsors, Zowie Gear, Joy Gear, and Red Bull, as well as my teammates for helping me practice. I didn't know at the time, but two of my friends have taken the CSAT, so I hope they earn good results.

You've reached the Round of 16 of Code S for the first time in your career. Please tell us your thoughts.

I felt very burdened after I received my Code S seed. I was worried because if I didn't show some proper skills, people would begin to say bad things about me. I started off shakily, losing my first match, but my manager helped me to maintain my mental composure and win.

You are the first KeSPA player to reach the Round of 16 this season.

Although I did rise first, I believe that the other KeSPA players will also advance, one by one.

How did you prepare for today's matches?

I couldn't practice very much due to team circumstances. To make matters worse, I was too weak to prepare much because of the cold I caught.

You seemed very unsteady at the beginning, being forced to play in the losers' match.

I think I fell because I wasn't able to warm up properly. I managed to keep my hopes up, though, because I still had an opportunity to play in the losers' match. I wanted to advance to the final match in order to get revenge on HerO.

You defeated Maru during the losers' match without much trouble.

I have always had a great deal of confidence in my ZvT. That's why I wanted Maru instead of Curious to fall during their match.

How did you feel as you went into the final match against HerO, who had previously defeated you 2-0?

All I thought was that I needed to win. I didn't want to lose.

During your second set, which HerO won, you had a massive army advantage but were dragged around by your opponent's harassment.

When I played that game, I was hit with the feeling that HerO is undoubtedly a strong player. Because I hadn't experienced such harassment during practice, I was at a loss.

You've entered the group nominations. Do you have anyone whom you would like to select or avoid?

I'm confident in my ZvT, so I want to pick a Terran if possible.

Have you set any personal goals for yourself?

As with all gamers, my goal is to win the championship. With today's victory, I've gained a lot of confidence.

Do you have any last words?

During the last set, I kept asking myself whether or not I should 7pool, but my manager told me to do what I felt was right, and I was able to win thanks to my manager. Also, the weather has been chilly lately, so I would like everyone to take care not to catch a cold.

The immortal push from Hero was hard to watch, compared to clean crisp soulful attacks from Parting. I love how Parting has made such a mark in P v Z, and so that for a while all immortal sentry all ins will be compared to his.

So that's why Soulkey wasn't performing as well.

Regardless, he did good and advance.
Hope to see him advance further.

HerO will have to stay in Code A for another season of training.

Every player in Code S is strong, but I will choose the ones whom I deem to be Code A-level in order to reach the quarterfinals.


Sounds like Curious is really settling into his Code S reader role. :D

Don't start what? Just pointing out the fact that all the zergs in code S usually mention ZvT as the matchup they want. It makes sense, there are more terrans is GSL (S +A) so if you are a Zerg with poor ZvT, you probably won't make it too far.

And a lot of players get sick during game days... I guess maybe because they live in a pretty pack environment in team houses, sickness passes from one person to another pretty easily so they have to be very careful to not to get sick. It not only affects them but their team.

They actually receive media training so they don't pull a naniwa. TBH I find his confidence in kespa players advancing quit nice to read.

In one of the past threads, someone mentioned that Seoul has some of the worst smog in the world. Don't know if this is actually true, but it would explain all the colds/lung sicknesses.

Curious, the gate keeper, will slay the ones that belong in Code A.
Soulkey, the one that showed a lot of potential in the transition period, will fight to stay alive and reach greatness.

Well it's because zvt is a much more mechanical match up. In terms of if you have better multi tasking/mechanics you are going to win most likely. ZvP is more can you defend the all in and make late game because then your chance as a zerg to win the game is a lot higher.

Thanks for the interviews!

YOU ARE CODE A

Good old Curious. Love seeing him in the group nominations.

Poor Maru. He really underperformed today. Is he still having anxiety issues in the booth?

Also congrats to Soulkey. I wonder what the "circumstances" are.

Wow, good for Curious! He has been performing really well lately first qualifying for the wcs globals and now first in his group! He must have looked into his Soul and reevaluated his (Z)Life.

As for Soulkey, I'm happy for him because his Kespa, but poor Maru hope to see him back in code s again soon with the same flair he showed in code A with more sick micro and nuke bombs than ever!

Wow, good for Curious! He has been performing really well lately first qualifying for the wcs globals and now first in his group! He must have looked into his Soul and reevaluated his (Z)Life.

As for Soulkey, I'm happy for him because his Kespa, but poor Maru hope to see him back in code s again soon with the same flair he showed in code A with more sick micro and nuke bombs than ever!

A lot of kespa may advance but they won't win the GSL in some long time :D


except rain, rain will win.

Because Curious almost always gets into Code S, but falls back down to Code A soon after, the korean community and commentators call him the CODE S READER because they think he does that so he can hang in Code A and weed out the people not worthy of Code S. The gatekeeper, if you will.

MVP but obviously it's not TvZ it's MVPvZ which is imba in his favour.


I don't think MVP has ever expressed confidence in his TvZ :S

I'm pretty sure that MVPs best MU was TvT? Infact many of the top dogs seem to have their mirror as their best MU. Life ZvZ is his best MU, rains PvP while not statistically his best, he is the sole Protoss who changed coin flips to complete and utter domination. I wonder if there is any correlation with this notation... Perhaps to be the best, one has to understand and master their own race first?

Don't start what? Just pointing out the fact that all the zergs in code S usually mention ZvT as the matchup they want. It makes sense, there are more terrans is GSL (S +A) so if you are a Zerg with poor ZvT, you probably won't make it too far.


Well it's because zvt is a much more mechanical match up. In terms of if you have better multi tasking/mechanics you are going to win most likely. ZvP is more can you defend the all in and make late game because then your chance as a zerg to win the game is a lot higher.

Thanks for the interviews!


No, not really.

Mm but when Oz was doing well, this was during the era when a new Protoss would emerge every few months hyped as hell, then never live up to expectations. I remember there was that picture of a train with all the faces and names of these Protoss, anyone still got that?

Whereas as rain is legit good at all match ups and actually won stuff lol.

Squirtle's PvP is pretty damn good. Hell, even with his recent PvP loss-streak, he is still at 68% win-rate in PvP.

This. This is not about balance whining, i just want to point out that most high level zergs had pretty much figured out terrans' style, which is pretty much stagnant for the past 2 years. Marine tank + multi prong drops is just not so effective anymore as zerg has a formula to follow in order to crush it.

That's i fully supported MVP's decision to go full mech during the final VS Life, even though he lost in the end. At least the mech style is still new, alot of variation can still be explored to catch zergs off guard

They are trained by team managers, and also they used to speak on TV not on Internet. Speaking carefully because otherwise, some old guy in SKT/KT/Woongjin won't like it.

Also, the weather has been chilly lately, so I would like everyone to take care not to catch a cold.
I swear I've seen this exact same closing comment in another interview. Am I just crazy?

....

Most KeSPA players say this for several years already.
