It is well known fact that SC2 is a playground of Koreans. When a non-Korean progamer got a single set from Korean opponent, non-Korean fans acclaim and rave as if the foreign player won the tournament. Like this, winning against Korean player isn't something that happens just normally.
However, well, this time is different. We have three foreign players for 2016 KeSPA Cup; Neeb, MrineLorD and Nerchio. Especially, people around Nerchio put high expectation on him, because he's one of the best European Zerg,
There's a reason for this phenomenon; In a online tournament that held in few weeks ago, Nechio won 6 named Koreans in a row and achieved 8 consecutive wins. Moreover, Nerchio showed his self-confidence, saying he can have a match with Korean players.
Q. I heard it's your first visit to Korea. I want to hear your feelings and self-introduction.
My nickname is Nerchio, and I have been playing SC2 pro scene for 6 years.
At first, It was just a diversion. However, as my skills improved, I had fun and started my career.
My first impression about Korea is fine; I've visited China 3 times and that's my only experience of Asian countries. Frankly, I do not have any good memories because of food. However, Korea looks like a bit more westernised and that's satisfying. I'm expecting some Korean cuisine too.
Q. Back in times, Stephano and Vortix was considered the best foreign Zerg players. Now people count Scarlett, Nerchio and Snute . Any opinion?
Agree. But I'd like to count Elazer too. He`s a polish Zerg player and he's quite good. Anyway, I can say me and Snute is the best in EU; we have careers and practice a lot. Sometime we suffer slump, but everyone has highs and lows.
Q. Who are your foreign friends among progamers?
Elazer, because he's polish and we both play Zerg. Sometimes we have a discussion about strategy things. However, I'm not on friendly terms with him, nor any other players. Maybe it is because I regard other players as competitors.
Q. Do you see Korean leagues often?
I watch most Zerg plays if possible in order to get Korean players' trend and builds. I`m trying to learn everything I can.
Q. You brought a sensation by beating ByuN, Maru, Creator, MyungSik and Rogue and achieved 8 consecutive wins.
Not even I expected that I'd hit a winning streak that much. At first I thought I could got Byun for one time; but as the winning streak continues, I became confident and lost my fear against Korean players.
Q. You said you couldn't find any Zerg player but you who could win KeSPA Cup. That's quite badass.
I changed my mind after watching Crossfinals (laugh). I knew Solar was good, but didn't know Solar was that good. Well, He was soooo good. If Zerg wins the tournament, It'll be rather Solar than me.
Q. What is the biggest difference between Korean and foreign Zerg?
Koreans definitely have better physical abilities. However I think foreign zerg players are more creative. In early days of LotV, Korean Zerg seemed weak; maybe it was because Korean Terran players were strong. However, Zerg players lost against Terran players all the same time. Since then, I stopped copying them and created my own style. It seems Korean Zerg players overtook meta now.
Q. Tell me your best players per race.
Dark is the best Zerg. Mvp is absolutely the best Terran in WoL. Though Maru is good, but his career does not say so. Since every Korean Protoss is strong, I cannot say a particular name.
Q. You're in Group D with Maru, Patience and Classic. People say it is the group of death; who do you expect most?
Actually, I wanted to face Zerg because I've played ZvZ a lot. It seems hard because there're two Protoss in the group. I've won against Maru but I cannot guarantee victory if I face him again.
Q. Any words?
I had bad results every time when I played in China. That burdens me, because the perception toward foreigners would be strengthen if I fail again. However, I'll change that perception through getting good results.

Lets the thrash talk continue!
|
Godchio is so amazing he starts talking in korean in the middle of the interview.
|
Well, that ended unexpectedly.
|
"However, I'm not on friendly terms with him, nor any other players. Maybe it is because I regard other players as competitors"
Absolutely savage (in a good way)
|
The evolution of Nerchio's opinion on Korean zergs is interesting. Or it would be if we could read it.
|
Nerchio already learned Korean, he is a genius!
Thanks for those translations Thouhastmail, I love all this hype  .
Edit: But seriously, I need the rest please, I'm refreshing this page so hard.
|
half of the interview was not translated in order to not trigger people
|
O_O Nerchio wanted to face zerg?! And Nerchio being very modest, how disappointing.
|
tbh I love how much game Nerchio talks. Plus he's got the prestiege to back it up a bit
|
|
|
good luck Nerchio! we love you 
|
HAHAHA Nerchio be saying he wants to face Korean Zergs now after the group comes out with no Zergs. He'd have no chance with ZvZ beign his worst matchup. Some will say he has no chance anyway, to be fair if got the group with Pet and herO I'd be confident in him getting ro8.
Oh well the beef continues, I'm curious to know if KeSPA players are aware of the situation.
|
I usually am not the biggest fan of Nerchio, but I want nothing more than him to crush every dismissive Korean there is and put them in their place. Best of luck, Nerchio
|
|
|
However, I'll change that perception though getting good results.
through* (I suppose)
|
Most polite Nerchio interview ever...? But really insightful, and Kespa cup is building up to be the event of the year for me.
|
Dark is the best zerg? I thought he was random Korean. :D
|
Nerchio pls don't reply to a post on your own interview pls.

I love the evolution of his opinions :-)
Within 2 hours from a random Zerg to the best Zerg in the world :-)

The fact that he was hoping for a ZvZ frightens me. It would be so anticlimatic seing him go down first round.
I don't say this often, but go Nerchio.

Poor Nerchio, I'll be your friend!
|
no burden please Nerchio. whether u make ro8 or not, we already know you are not an ordinary player
This tournament is in Korea, and 3 foreigners (+ TRUE) vs 12 Koreans. It will be much harder for foreigners than playing in blizzcon in next month. I am kinda worry for them, and I hope they get rid of their pressure well before match 
To be honest, there are some Koreans who really want a foreigner winning a tournament vs Koreans. So this scene won't die faster by that. The biggest reason for this is the region lock between Korea and rest. 
|
If by "Change the perception of foreigners" he means "Make them think Lilbow's Blizzcon flop was the greatest moment for them" I might buy it
|
Nerchio is a good guy. After the tournament, we will see a new Nerchio. A modest Nerchio. No fun of Koreans, no trashtalk :-)
Already in this interview, he talks nicely about Dark, about Maru ... he already started to pretend that his favorite matchup is ZvZ so that he has an excuse after the matches :-)
I think, we will all like him with this new, much smaller ego :-)

Certainly seems the region lock created a lot of perhaps unjustified confidence in foreigners ability vs Koreans, which has been a cool side effect. And offline best of 1 style tournament results adding to that confidence for Nerchio. Then he just watches the top korean zergs play in the crossfinals and seems to do a complete 180 now that it's all close to becoming reality. It's rather unfortunate since this sudden lack of confidence may end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy for him. Best of luck to all the foreigners, but the BW player in me hopes they all get annihilated.

Well, it was certainly funny with him! Somehow, it would be nice not to lose the old Nerchio. But it is almost impossible. If he loses both matches 0:3, he will feel ashamed and become "Silent Nerchio". If he gets out of the group, he would become the "Big Mouth Nerchio" even more. Maybe if he wins the loser's match and loses the other two, he could stay as he is. Or maybe, he could win the first match, lose with Maru in the final and then lose the decider ... I like that option :-)

Apparently the interview wasn't even completely translated. Also, I think the confidence is a huge thing the foreigners need. Nerchio doesn't seem scared. Simply respectful of their skill which is exactly what he needs.

looks like the hate hes been accumulating has gotten to him. Humbled-Zerg. i love the bet hedges subtely thrown in in all his answers. cant imagine how hard it would be to talk big and not back it up.

Based on this interview, I think, he is a bit scared ... he got scared in the last moment before the matches ... if he had to play tomorrow, I would be pretty sure about twice 0:3. Hopefully he finds his confidence before Friday so that the matches can't be compared to Lilbow ...

If you are referring to this in the Dark interview thread:

then I suppose by random he meant it's not like Dark got anything to do with him as they haven't met.

We got your back Nerchio - give'em hell! :D

This back and forth is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, how stupid of inven to interview Nerchio, they should only interview the Korean players in KeSPA Cup!
How dare Koreans in general be hyped about foreigners playing in Korea. And now some of them even volunteer to translate the interviews and post them on TL. Really, I'm sick of it!
|
Don't worry. Neeb already did that.
|
PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Its ' and not `
-.-

I always thought the perception of foreigners was that there's a few good ones that can at least compete in Korea. But overall they are miles behind the Korean pros. Doubt that I'm gonna change mind based of how well Mlord, nerch, or Neeb play. Unless they all get into ro8 which would be insane.
Although it would change my perception of Nerchio is he can do something decent there. Because I never thought his play was of that kind of standard compared with what Neeb has done

Yeah, I had that impression too. Like, there was Bunny and Snute in WCS EU along with Naniwa and Stephano, but i think the main difference here is that these are foreigners trying to beat Koreans on their own turf. It's not like this is an IEM where there's more foreigners or worse Koreans (aside from Rogue) and the Koreans are jet-lagged and in a foreign environment.
Here, the Koreans are likely trying harder because there's more Koreans, and there is also a longer time to prepare for each group and the ro8. So I would place this closer to a mini-GSL or SSL rather than an IEM (and definitely not a Dreamhack).
As for Nerchio, I'm kind of mixed because I'm not really much of a fan of his, I don't cheer for Zerg, but I want foreigners to do well.

It would change my perception of Nerchio if he actually became humble. But now, I want him to win the first match and get destroyed by Maru in the winners match. Then, he could try to show some effort in the decider match.

I think a lot of people take him way too seriously. Nerchio's an awesome dude, hope he gets through

That's if Maru makes it to the winner's match. Imagine a world where Patience and Nerchio come out of a group that contains Classic and Maru? The underdogs versus the Starleague champions.

I know that judgemental attitude from Korean fans who would shit all over players who dared to show confidence without winning everything.

It's also because so many fans shit on foreign pros, all he's doing is restoring balance.

why care about nerchio when neeb is doing the right things, without all the shit talking O.o

Quite good performance from Nerchio, even if didnt make it.
|
good games Nerch! You didnt advance but you shown your caliber  next time

He did well, but not amazing. He put in a solid effort, got close but not enough. I don't think he has anything to be ashamed of . I hope he gets a bit better for Blizzcon !

I really don't understand why people insist Nerchio played well versus Maru. He got severely outplayed in both games 1 and 3 and did not deserve to win the series.
In game 1 particularly he had a massive advantage and threw it away not by a singular mistake, but by incrementally falling further behind as he did nothing to prevent Maru from eeking out small advantages. His inability to prevent Maru from canceling his bases over and over put him in a position of inevitable defeat.
People praise Nerchio's defense, but in game 3 all he did was defend. Maru pinned him back so effectively that he did nothing to hinder Maru's economy. Maru took an early third and got away with it. The result of the match was determined the moment Nerchio failed to punish him for that.
To top it off, Nerchio's biles in game 1 were abysmal. He won the early build order battle in game 1, but then lost due to poor multitasking and micro, both the hallmarks of mid-late game Starcraft. In game 3 he showed a lack of understanding of the larger situation. Not once did he even attempt a run by to alleviate pressure on himself. He simply kept falling behind until he had lost.

Both Maru's wins were on heavily terran favoured maps so yes it was very close.

While not a large sample size.. Galatic process actually has a slightly higher Zerg win rate in the match up
The map Nerchio won on is also zerg favored according to stats
In other words your excuses are bullshit.
Nerchio couldn't back up his talk, plain and simple.

Nerchio said it would probably be very hard to beat Maru offline, I think he backed up his talk today .

My perception hasn't changed in the least. Like always they are for the most part below the Koreans with 1 guy who can make a decent showing. Nothing has changed with aggravates me even more.
Despite my elitist, 'hate posting' a part of me really did want Foreigners to do better, to see that change. At least that way the Korean scene isn't slowly dying for nothing. But this.. Literally killing the scene so spoiled brats can milk a bit more money out of the game is beyond infuriating.

no need to feel insulted, he's definitely a top 5 foreigner, maybe top 3

Nerchio played well for Nerchio. While he didnt really stand a chance against the Koreans he faced even though they weren't bringing their A-game (esp Classic who played so atrociously poorly ), I don't think Nerchio has ever hit his injects better, spread his creep better, been more on point than these days - so who knows; if he keeps practising maybe one day he will be able to compete with the big boys.

Nerchio played as well as any Korean there.
But when you have a group of 4 very skilled players and only two make it out, Nechio's chances of advancing are 50%.

Were we watching the same games today? Classic going MSC before 2nd and 3rd Gateway in his first game against Nerchio. Classic losing an Archon while doing Warp Prism harass to Roaches, Ravagers and Queens in the second game of that series. Patience miscontrolling his first Oracle in his first game against Nerchio, only killing 3 Drones when he easily could have gotten 4-5 Drones with just decent control. Nerchio not being prepared for when Patience's second Oracle coming around in the same game despite this not being an uncommon thing for Protosses to do when going Oracle. Patience losing both of his Oracles to a Spore and two Queens only killing off a few Probes in the second game against Nerchio.
Just to name a few of all the silly mistakes being made today.

Nerchio played well for Nerchio. While he didnt really stand a chance against the Koreans he faced even though they weren't bringing their A-game (esp Classic who played so atrociously poorly ), I don't think Nerchio has ever hit his injects better, spread his creep better, been more on point than these days - so who knows; if he keeps practising maybe one day he will be able to compete with the big boys. Nerchio played as well as any Korean there. But when you have a group of 4 very skilled players and only two make it out, Nechio's chances of advancing are 50%. So you say that starcraft at this level is random?
High level starcraft is so volatile that a player can win GSL one season and be the first to get out of the tournament the next season.
Wich is kind of what happened here lol (Byun getting eliminated in the first group even though he is the reigning GLS champ)

If I remember correctly, it is Classic who is guilty of the feat you're describing.
He really did play terribly, though. What a bad latter half of the year for SKT (minus Dark).
