You've returned once again to the Ro16 of Code S. Tell us how you feel.
I think it was obvious. I haven't been able to practice PvTs recently. I've heard a lot of people say that "PartinG has sacrificed his PvT talents in order to become good at PvZ and PvP." So I took this opportunity to study up on the play styles of Rain, ParalyzE, Bisu, and BeSt, so that I could learn again. I feel glad because it feels like I'm coming back to my old self. I am also really grateful to FanTaSy hyung for helping me.
How has the transfer to SKT been going for you?
I think my situation is a lot different from when I was a trainee. And my teammate hyungs treat me well so it's good. Also, my hyungs approached me first so the transition was very comforting.
Did you expect to advance out as first from your group this season?
Honestly, I saw that I would advance out as first as long as I could beat ByuN hyung. Which is why i prepared extensively for my match against ByuN.
Were you disappointed that you placed third in IEM Katowice?
Personally yes, I was disappointed. If I still had my PvT skills from before then I probably wouldn't have lost. I lost in a situation where I wasn't even concerned so I was disappointed in myself. I went with the mentality that I was going to win but after I lost I started thinking back to my loss in Auction OSL. So when I got back to Korea I started asking my hyungs for a lot of advice. I am very grateful to my hyungs.
You have group nominations ahead of you. What kind of group do you want to make?
This is the last WoL tournament so I really want to make a splash. I want to create a group with Squirtle hyung, Mvp hyung, and Life so I can go head to head against the best of the best. And Life is the best Zerg so I really want to face him at least once.
This season's goals and players who could stand in the way of reaching those goals?
I have the mentality that I am the best so I think I can make it at least to the semifinals. Personally I would like MC hyung to keep his word about picking Protosses for the Ro16.
People are saying that "PartinG is an immortal."
I was known as a high templar in the past. Of course I like being called an immortal too. Apparently people call me "the Soul Train" overseas. I am so grateful for that kind of nickname. I also hope people won't just forget the nickname, "high templar" also.
Anything else you would like to say?
It hasn't been long since I moved in to the SK Telecom team house but all the hyungs and coaching staff have been so welcoming to me that I am so grateful. I want to thank my teammates Mercury hyung, hudadak, Journey hyung, Doh Yoo Yun, JyJ hyung, FanTaSy hyung, Dark, s2, Sacsri hyung, and soO hyung for helping me with practice. And personally, I am most grateful to my Protoss hyungs who helped me out. I was able to win today because of them. Truth be told, I wasn't able to use a build order that I had planned for LosirA today. The build order was recommended to me by KimDongKyoon. I want to make sure I show this strategy for the Ro16. I hope KimDongKyoon won't be disappointed.

This is your first Code S Ro16 ever since the 2011 Sony Ericsson GSL October. How do you feel?
I am glad. I believe I achieved this result because I worked hard. However, I still have the belief that I need to work even harder.
Your only opponent was Ryung but you took him down twice in order to advance. It seems like you are once again showing your dominance in ZvT.
I played just like I did for practice. Not everything went the same but I think it was close enough.
Was there a special reason as to why you played a ultralisk style rather than the popular mutalisk style?
From a long time I would use ultralisk/infestor compositions. But I also use mutas a lot. I just used the appropriate strategy at the right time.
Against PartinG you took a complete 0-2 loss. Why do you think so?
He had a one, two second advantage with his strategy. I should have tried to defeat him with an unexpected strategy.
In the final round vs Ryung, you tried really hard to obstruct him from expanding.
I decided to implement that kind of play style after watching NesTea and ByuL play that way. I can't help but feel like I was able to learn that kind of strategy because NesTea hyung uses it so well.
Anyone you specifically want to face for the group nominations?
I haven't given it much thought. I think the players who work the hardest will win.
For this season, only the best of the best Protosses remain.
Thankfully during my match against PartinG, I only showed a fraction of what I had prepared for today. Which is why I think that I can defeat any player regardless of who it is as long as I can prepare well.
Do you think you'll face any difficulties when you have to play HotS for next season?
I think it's just going to be fun. I like to use all the units available for my race so I actually don't mind when new units get added. I think I'm going to be able play stylishly.
Feels like we are seeing the old king of banelings LosirA again.
I want to become a player that can take on any challenge that comes my way and a player that can maintain myself regardless of the scenarios I'm put in to.
Anything else you would like to say?
I want to thank the head coach, his wife, and the coach for always working so hard for us. I want to thank everyone who helped me with practice, especially NesTea. I also want to let ByuN and Ryung know that they did a job well done. I am going to work hard so that I can show even more fun games from here on out. I want to become a player that slowly climbs the ranks. Lastly, I want to thank the fans for cheering me on and our sponsors LG Electronics, Steelseries, Googims Company, and Coca-Cola.

Thank you for translating  It was infuriating seeing the TL writeup commentate on PartinG's interview and not be able to read it haha!
|
So I took this opportunity to study up on the play styles of Rain, ParalyzE, Bisu
Bisu
Bisu
oh yeah
p
|
Yesss! Go seeker! I stayed up for this!
|
How could anyone forget the trigger happy storms of Parting from early 2012! He was a PvT boss back then.
|
Your dedication and commitment is incredible Seeker.
CHOOFKINGCHOOOOOOO
|
That's a lot of hyungs (Thanks Seeker!)
|

|
Thank you SeeKeR. Can't wait to hear what losira has to say.

Is this a sign that bisu has been quietly practicing very ferociously?
|
Parting, Squirtle, Mvp and Life ?
Yeah, that will go well :p
|
Parting is so arrogant. It's really starting to piss me off. When he wins a GSL, I'll have less of a problem i think

hes such a tease. its probably him being respectful to his hyungs...but of course we would all like to think that bisu is perfecting some sort of hero-like sc2 playstyle.

I love how sometimes I can read the TL preview of a Code S group and then immediately go read the winners' interviews. Seeker is awesome like that.
|
Thanks SeeKeR!
Nice to see PartinG happy with the new team. Who is this KimDongKyoon? A coach?
Also, any one else feeling like hyungs mean "peeps" the way PartinG says it? xD
"my Protoss hyungs"

Thanks Seeker! Parting's interview is always a blast to read! Didn't know he was nicknamed "high templar" lol. Glad to see the transfer to SKT T1 ended up well for him
|
I feel like Losira's success is directly proportional to the length of his hair. He buzzed it a while back and went into a deep slump. Now he grew it back out and he's tearing shit up.

Thanks Seeker.
Parting is the boss, isn't he? Dayumn he's on the right team now
|
Who is "KimDongKyoon"? He sounds like a significant part of SKT house.
|
|
|
Did SKT1 suck some of the soul from Parting? He doesn't make fun of anyone in this interview =(
Thanks Seeker as always!
|
Hmm, I don't like Parting's current hairstyle. The colour and overall bulkyness makes it look like a cat is resting on top of his head or something. It's not very flattering.
Speaking of cats, Losira is stylish as always. I think he has #1 pro-gamer hair at the moment. It's a variant of his usual hairstyle, but more smooth and not as puffy. I really like the chestnut brown colour, and the thinner and more pronounced clideburns - they really fit his face.

Was Parting an SKT B-teamer in BW then? What was his ID?

I guess Losira's portion isn't done yet. :/
|
Thanks Seeker! The best thing I took from that was that apparently Bisu has not-terrible builds for PartinG to study. Hopefully that means he's been practicing like a mofo.

I logged in just now specifically to post that and realised I'd been beaten to it. X-D
Wolf and his hair man...seriously...
Need a cut myself though, wonder if he's got any tips. >_>
Absolutely delighted PartinG got through. :D

"I think it was obvious" -- oh you, PartinG!

Ah was partinG's hair always so ugly?

Okay, Parting really is the new MC. This guy is crazy.

Thanks in advance for the Code A interviews too~ =3
Happy Losira made Ro16, seems he feels a bit confident too. And thanks Nestea whenever he can. That's fair enough, gotta praise your creator.

Losira so nice, beats them and congrats them on good games. Meanwhile, ryung goes on twitter and starts bashing zerg players tt
