DRG: "This Is New Me."

[image loading]

How do you feel about advancing to RO16 after beating Innovation?

I thought it was a "Group of Death." I was very stressed because my ZvT was down during the practice. Nevertheless, I feel so good about advancing.

You must have prepared especially against Innovation.

I prepared as usuaul. I asked my practice partners to mimic Innovation's play style. Also of help was the WCS replays that were released. 80% of my practice hours were invested in TvZ against Innovation.

Fast transitions in the first set against Gumiho was impressive. [edit: talking about transtions after scouting Gumiho's mech, I think]

Was there any difficult moment in the series against Innovation?

My builds were slightly disturbed because of small mistakes (losing overlords and allowing hellions in the base) in the first two games. Innovation's relentless push is always a threat.

You showcased very fast creep spread. Did you watch Scarlette's games?

Yes. I used to believe that I was best at creep spreading, but Scarlette's creep spread made me think otherwise. I have learned a lot from her games, thanks to WCS replays.

After losing the first map, you chose Derelict Watcher. Was the large open middle space a consideration?

I honestly did not think of that map until yesterday. Dream recommended that map after he lost to Sleep yesterday. I realized there were some good places for spine crawlers as well as routes for run-bys.

In the 3rd set, despite the narrow paths around the map (Yeonsu) you profitted quite well with muta-ling.

Micro matters. I tried to keep a careful eye on mine-targeted zerglings and move them towards marines so that they would take damage. [edit: is it possible to know which unit is targeted by a mine?] I think the outcome of 4M v. muta-ling depends a lot on controls.

Recently Zerg players focus much on muta-ling play even when they go for Hive. Are Infestors not very helpful?

Infestors are helpful, but the change to its attack type made it very difficult to actually inflict damages. Plus, today's ZvT is non-stop slugfest where you need constant stream of units, so unless you are quite ahead it is difficult to find time or resources for Infestors.

You received Nestea Award and advanced to RO16. What do you think of your chance this season, keeping in mind that it's your only chance to the Blizzcon?

I don't know. I will go with the flow. (laugh) It's the last season of the year so I think it is an opportunity to be the champion, beating strong contenders on my way. I don't mind being in a "Group of Death" I even saved some builds for later rounds, so I don't mind facing any race. I would be modest and predict my chance of getting to the final @65% (laugh)

Any last words?

I thank my coach, family, girlfriend, and fans. Thanks to Dream and other Terran players I ran into on ladder. I heard that some in the community thought I was yester-year's news and wouldn't beat Innovation. Hopefully I have changed that perception today. I will do my best for the global finals.

Innovation: "Season final is my baseline."

[image loading]

You advanced to RO16 as a 2nd of the group.

I expected to advance, though I had a rough time against DRG.

How did you prepare?

I played with my team mates as well as on ladder.

DRG said that he specifically prepared for the matches against you.

DRG's style is very difficult to handle. But if I had concentrated as I did in the set 1, I think I could have won.

In the 3rd set against DRG, you made a mistake of building 4 ebays.

I usually do not build ebays as part of my walls and was a bit tilted after the 2nd set. I made many mistakes on upgrades and supply blocks in that last set.

Many in the audience were shocked to see Mule ceremony. [edit: Which game was it?]

I have seen Zergs with similar styles to DRG's. I have always thought Zerg is a very difficult race to beat, and Terran has no advantage against them. It is important to balance Mutalisks against Terran. [edit: No idea what he's talking about]

With today's advancement to RO16, your start in this season looks promising.

I had a good start last season as well, and did well until I reached RO4. I think I fell victim to mannerism after winning the Season 1 global final. But since moving to team Acer, I feel like I'm having a new start. This season's goal is of course championship. I also would like to revenge Maru, Taeja, and Bomber.

You are scheduled to play your ex-team Soul in GSTL next week.

I've heard Soul has moved to a new team house yesterday. They may need some time to settle, so maybe my team mates [edit: other Acer players] might finish them off before I get to play. It will be exciting and motivating to face my old team mates.

Soul's coach seems confident, though.

I might be a target for a snipe, but xxx [edit: player's name] is the first in the line-up and there is only another player who is skilled. If our team can take down that player we will win without much trouble.

Any last words?

I am soon to be participating in Dreamhack Bucharest. This is my first foreign tournament and I will do my best to win the title. I am practicing hard so I hope to show the best plays in the world stage.

Pretty cool how DRG really respsects Scarletts creep spread. As he should! He did really well today, glad to see him at least temporarily out of his slump.
The multiplying villanies of man do swarm upon him.

Well, I woke up early to catch the games today.

Innovation's interview is a lot more difficult to translate. I may have to watch the games again to make sure what the heck he's talking about before translating.
