(P)EG-TL HerO

Source: Daily eSports

How do you feel about bringing your team the victory with three straight kills?

Honestly, if I had lost, then it probably would have become very difficult to advance to the post season. Which is why I wanted to win today no matter what. I am really glad right now because I brought my team the victory.

You won your game against JangBi with void rays.

As the game progressed onward, I felt like sticking with a ground army would result in a loss. So I gathered void rays while also grabbing air upgrades.

In the last game, why did you make a carrier?

It wasn't a ceremony or anything like that. I was trying to make void rays but I accidentally hit the carrier key. I was also surprised myself (laughs).

You could have won game six much earlier.

I felt like I had the advantage but I was hesitant because of his muta/corruptor composition. The map was also quite large so I kept getting harrassed. I wasn't able to properly grab the final timing. My weakness is that I never know when to move in and finish off my opponent and I think that became quite apparent today.

You will be flying overseas tomorrow.

I really haven't prepared anything special. I just studied VODs as I prepared for Proleague.

You've been placed into the group of death for WCS America Ro16.

It's burdensome. I am not confident in my PvZ so I am worried. But I do have expectations for myself that I will advance through.

Any specific player you're watching out for?

(Z)Scarlett

You have quite a difficult schedule ahead of you.

I leave on the 21st, play my matches on the 22nd, and return to Korea on the 23rd. Also, after the proleague match on the 27th ends, I will be leaving for New York right away afterwards. I think this going to be really difficult. If I do make it through, I know for a fact that taking care of myself will be absolutely crucial.

Anything else you would like to say?

I want to thank our sponsors Barracuda Networks, Shiny Things, Twitch.tv, and Razer. The day before yesterday was my debut anniversary of two years and I received an unimaginable gift from the fans. I wasn't able to properly thank them then so I want to take this opportunity to do that now. I am going to work hard so that I can become an even better player. I want to thank the supervisor, the coach, and the EG-TL players for always working so hard. Lastly, I want the fans to know that we will be doing everything we can to qualify for the post season.

Although ... seems a bit misleading, given how much help they'd need to make the playoffs even by winning out. =( Hopefully they turn things around and get some momentum for next year (if they're even in SPL again)

It was a carrier, not a mothership that he made wasn't it? I missed the game, but that's what I had read.

That's correct, and the Korean interview actually does say carrier and not mothership.

Are they just trying to hype up hero's wcs group? Dont get me wrong, it's definitely a group with good players but i think it's pretty obvious that the group of death is group d, not c.

Congrats on the great performance HerO

They still have a slim chance I should think.

EG-TL have 2 more matches this current round 5, plus 7 more in the final next round 6.

They're currently 6 wins away from qualifying for sure (if STX and KHAN do not post wins anymore xD), 5 wins if they can drastically improve their map score. As I said, slim chance, but oh well.

They are not mathematically eliminated but I don't see how you can say they are 6 wins away from qualifying for sure. That would leave them at 18-24 at the end of the season, and only 4 teams make it, so 4 teams would have to be 17-25 or worse - which is impossible because khan and soul have to play each other at least once still.

6 wins would give them the faintest glimmer of qualifying (like worse than 1 in a million), but even with 9 wins they sit at 21-21 with a terrible map score. That would give them maybe a 1/2 chance of making it (depends on what the other teams do) - but again, only in the case where they win the rest of their games. If they do any worse than that, it quickly becomes nearly impossible to qualify.

Hero can carry EG-TL on his back but they're not going to make the playoffs at this point, If they're really trying that hard I don't understand sending Revival first in both matches last week.

thanks to this interview, the accusations on hero being bm in his games yesterday have been cleared out. i think it is apparent that this weakness he mentioned was also the reason why he built all those cannons and nexi outside reality's base. he was hesitant to finish reality off and he was maxed out so he just put his resources to good use.
