[image loading]

Q. You were qualified as a member of the national players. How do you feel?

A. It hasn't sunk in yet. However, I feel like I will do well too in China.



Q. You became a national player at your first challenge. When did you expect this first?

A. I haven't. When I beat Curious at Ro16, I heard that it will be broadcast from Ro8, and suddenly became to eager to. I thought it was the best chance for me. People don't know what kind of plays I perform.



Q. People are curious about what kind of player you are.

A. I joined CJ this January. I train so hard, and I can confidently say that I am on a high rank on the team. A prepared top-class-rookie. Since release of HoTS, I was confident.



Q. We couldn't have seen you in proleague or individual leagues.

A. I was eliminated by Songduri in the same team last preliminary. There were no drafts, so I had no chance to acquire pro license. Actually, it's been only a while since I got semi-pro license.



Q. What did you do before becoming a progamer? (Translator: He's a rookie, but quite old. Born in 1991, the same age as Soulkey, RoRo, MC, MVP, and effort.)

A. I had worked for a general company for two years. Played SC2 as hobby for 3 years.



Q. You will meet Parting in the finals.

A. To be honest, I am not so confident, but I will do my best.



Q. You may have gotten some stress meeting Soulkey at Ro4.

A. I wasn't actually confident. But even on vacation, Effort and Bong helped me practicing. They helped me with builds and a lot detailed training. I cot confidence there.



Q. Your mother came to the stadium to cheer for you.

A. I thought only my brother would come(giggles). I saw mother during a game, and got surprised. I didn't make me nervous, but helped. I think I got adapted to broadcast environment.



Q. You seem not getting nervous easily.

A. My don't have a strong mental when I practice. However, it gets stronger when I play on TV. Coaches help me training my mental, so it's getting stronger.



Q. Last words?

A. I appreciate my teammates who helped me even on vacation. Happy to show a victory to my family and coaches. Now I became a national player, I will do my best with response.

I'm not sure if it's fine with translating whole article from Daily eSports. If this can be a problem, please mods edit or delete this post. And also, please edit the title to "WCG KR"

Can't wait to see him when PvPL starts up. He better stay on the radar and not drop after initial success.

And they didn't even ask him what brand of chewing gum he uses.

It doesn't get much more vague than "general company." lol

People who come out of nowhere after being a part-time player for a while are exactly what keeps me excited about the future. And old new people have a certain dignified charm to them, too.
