Finally, you have won your first IPL. How do you feel?

This is my second time attending IPL. I'm happy that it didn't take long for me to win and the fact that I had to work so hard for it makes the victory only sweeter.

You played a great number of games for four days starting in Round 1 so wasn't this hard on you?

IPL has long waiting times so I got plenty of rest between the games.

In the grand finals, you lost the first match 2:3. Weren't you worried that you could lose at this point?

I was thankful for the winner's advantage. Violet played so well. This was the hardest ZvZ I've had to date. So yeah, I admit I was worried.

Out of the foreign tournaments you have attended recently, you have been in the finals four times and won three of them

It's strange but going overseas lets me play better. I think it's because there are more fans and I have fun in my games as I have new experiences. Also, compared to GSL, there's less pressure.

As of yet, there is no player to have won all of GSL, IPL and MLG. You will be said player if you win GSL

I don't know if I'll be the first such player but some day, I will be one. winning GSL has been my goal for a long time but I haven't fulfilled it. I want it.

There have been two ZvZ finals with GSL Code S and IPL. Fans of the other races can't be happy

First of all, I'm sorry it had to be a ZvZ. I admit Terrans are having a hard time but Protoss players need to step up their game. So I don't feel sorry to Protoss players at all while to Terran, I'm the tiniest bit sorry (laugh). Then again, Terrans had their time so they should persevere (laugh). Patience is key.

You have also secured your spot in the 2012 GSL Grand Finals tournament. How do you expect to do?

Today's victory means so much more because of that spot in the GSL Grand Finals tournament. I thought I wouldn't be able to participate because I haven't done well in GSL. I can't predict how I'll do but with good practice, I should win the whole thing (T/N: but... you just did predict how you'll do).

What are your goals for 2013?

Before anything else, I want to win GSL so badly. I couldn't want it more. On top, I want to take the occasional foreign tournament.

Anything to add?

I want to thank all my fans who cheer me on. I want to thank the coaches who take great care of me as well as my parents and grandmother who cheer for me. I want to thank the sponsors FXO, Twitch and GomTV. Also, the 2nd of Dec was Lucky's birthday. I couldn't celebrate his birthday in person because I was competing so I want to take this opportunity to do so.

Grats to leenock, thanks for the comment to be sorry for terrans a bit

It must be hard to be a professional in a game where balance changes can affect your career (Terran players now; zerg players (?) before).

If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

Haha storywriter, nice little note about the prediction =P

Honestly: Leenock might actually be the favourite going into the GSL grand final. Not by a lot, honestly Parting, Life, Violet and Sniper playing great at the moment, and I wouldn't count out DRG.

MVP might be a write off though. Rain still a bit of an unknown honestly, I don't know if we've figured out exactly where he sits in the entire ranks yet despite his tournaments. And Hero still unpredictable for me.

I think Leenock's still the favourite.

Maybe he's not sure if he'll get in some good practice or not.

Leenock certainly has a monopoly on being fun, exciting, and really damn good.

I feel like one interview with Leenock, maybe this one, could be made community news as well. Besides the GSL winner interview.

Also Leenock seems to agree with HyuN's view on balance.

I'm happy for him as his play is fun to watch and he seems like an awesome personality as well.
