Q: You've advanced to the semi-finals.
A: I feel nothing special but more ease than expected.
Q: Facing XY who is on form, you seem to be even more on form.
A: I perceive that he's not good at using widow mines. Maybe he watched InnoVation and Cure's matches against zergs and had some ideas. Only in the 3rd game he used what he's good at. His hand movement is not very fast and therefore disadvantaged to use Terran. He can't bring mines' advantages.
Q: You played very rashly.
A: I think I played wisely, how can that be rashness.
Q: You eliminate the only Terran in Ro8.
A: Home Terrans are under very difficult conditions. My terran is good too, so I understand that practising with lag could easily lead to lost of confidence. Even though I could lose confidence (with lag) from time to time, but I think Terrans are harder (than Zergs).
Q: Recent patches is not good for ZvT.
A: I decided to go usual play, perfecting the details. Actually there are not many Zergs.
Q: Zerg already got a place for the final,
A: ZvZ has been my weaker link, I hope I can make a breakout to the finals.
Q: Who do you want to meet in the semi-final, iA or Sen.
A: Not much difference in terms of ZvZ. Whoever is the same.
Q: Any preparations for the semi-final?
A: Practice (x3). I usually practise on the ladder, so nothing special.
Q: Last word?
A: I thank the team's sponsor and GPL.
