EPTHow do you feel about your transfer to KT?
It’s an honour to join one of the oldest and most prestigious teams in programing and winners of last year’s Starcaft 2 Proleague season.
How long had you been discussing the transfer for?
We’ve been discussing it for the past month and I moved into the team house yesterday.
What’s the atmosphere like at the team house? Are there any players you’re already familiar with?
The atmosphere seems good, and since I’m younger than everyone they were very welcoming. I’m familiar with Lee Young-ho (Flash) since everyone called us rivals, and I plan to gradually get to know the rest of the players too.
KT won Proleague last season, but they were unable to reach the playoffs of Round 1 this time.
Actually, I think of their bad results in Round 1 as an opportunity. I’m due to start playing for KT in Proleague from Round 2, and if their results start to improve after that would it not be seen as the effect of me joining them? I’ll work hard so that the team can win a second consecutive Proleague.
KT is seen as having a weak Zerg lineup.
I think that is only true up until Round 1. I will help not only my fellow Zerg players, but also the Terran and Protoss players to achieve impressive results.
Do you think you can halt KT’s recent downward trend?
I’m aware that other than Joo Sung-wook (Zest) KT haven’t been able to win any Starcraft 2 solo leagues in Korea, so I’ve made it my goal to become one more player to have won a solo league in the name of KT.
It seems like you’ll no longer be able to participate in foreign competitions as freely as before.
I need to accommodate for the Proleague schedule, but just like before my thirst for foreign competitions isn’t that big. There are now two solo-leagues in Korea, as well as competitions like the KeSPA Cup etc. which I can participate in, so it looks like as long as I get good results I can still earn WCS points. I know that the association gives you the chance to go play in foreign competitions if you’re chosen as Round MVP in Proleague, so I think I will try to aim for that.
Is there anything else you’d like to say?
I will try my hardest to be a player who lives up to the name of KT.
