 Although I didn't follow Brood War (long time Halo player) I went back and watch brood war matches and vods to learn more about a lot of the kespa players and Fantasy quickly became one of my favorites. I also love watching him in SC2, he really is making the transition well and will be a top Terran soon enough. He is so good | ||

Translated from http://s.163.com/12/1110/18/8FVI29F300314D0E.html Original article at http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?category=13439&id=1352560 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/p0RQ1.jpg) How does it feel making it to Code A for the first time? This is a stage which I really want to ascend and play on, and I am delighted to advance. The matches today were all really difficult, and they all got to the final game. I was really nervous too. Why were you nervous? It's been a while since I played in a tournament, and my results have been poor ever since I transitioned to Starcraft 2. That's why I felt really pressured. I could also feel myself improving as I practised recently. The nervousness seems to be because I expect a lot from myself. Which areas did you focus on for the preparation of today's games? I prepared at least two strategies for each race. Luckily, I met each race only once, and it made it easier for me to advance. Which was the toughest match? All three matches were tough. If I had to pick one it'd be the finals. I begun by losing the first game. It was difficult on the map whirlwind which isn't good for Terran. The finals were still the biggest hurdle. You finally made it to Code A. Are you hoping to make it directly to Code S? My goal is Code S. Through the qualifiers today, I understood a lot of the weaknesses that I have. If I can make up for these weaknesses, I believe there is a good chance that I can make it straight to Code S. You played a lot of games in the MvP tournament. Kespa players usually play amongst themselves, but there were many non-Kespa players in the tournament as well. Was this a great help in helping you improve? There were a lot of games. There were games which I won easily, and there were also many games which I lost. Because I lost too many games, I wasn't able to get top 8 and make it to the play-off, and I felt a little sad for that, but it also let me know that I should continue working harder. Through the MvP tournament I was able to meet many different types of players. I also learnt about the different styles. Kespa players tend to stick to one type of strategy, whereas the non-Kespa players play more loosely. I look forward to playing them again in the future. What do you think is your greatest stumbling block in Code A? It doesn't matter who my opponent is. What's most important is that I remain calm, and prepare and play properly. It's been so hard to qualify, I don't want to be eliminated too easily. How different is it from OSL qualifiers? For OSL, as long as you can qualify from the qualifiers, it's very hard to fall back out. But for GSL, you need to keep working hard, or you might just end up falling to the lower level. There are pros and cons to each tournament. Rain's performance has been amazing, but there are many players who were good previously and are not doing too well currently. After switching to Starcraft 2, Bisu hyung has been suffering from a slump, and I have been suffering from a slump too. Up until last week, I even wanted to just give up on the game. I went back to my hometown Busan for a vacation, and cooled off and readjusted my mentality, and that allowed me to get the results I got today. I'm now more or less out of the slump, so fans do not have to worry too much. Anything you want to add? I usually like to look at community forums, and there are many fans who want to see my games. I also think that I've rested for a bit too long. I'm really happy that I managed to qualify for Code A, and I will try my best to show good games. | ||

Thx Weirdkid for posting the interview. Hearing that he thought about giving up his SC career frightened me a bit. The proscene would loose a lot of it's interest for me without FantaSy. Edit : Please sign me up ^^ | ||

Never think about retiring plz plz plz. Will forever watch your games and style. On May 27 2012 13:53 13JackaL wrote: could someone explain to me his "terrorist" nickname? i kinda wana know the story behind it This was kind of a derogatory nickname at first. Fantasy was called "Terrorist" because he knocked out fan favorites from the OSL during his Royal Road attempt. He knocked out Nada and someone else I think, Nada being the huge fan favourite was making a comeback of sorts at the time by getting into Round of 16 in OSL. Eventually the nickname became a term of endearment as Fantasy's harass (especially with vultures) in all match-ups in BW is an artform. | ||
