[Interview] Korean Air OSL Ro36 Group G Winner

Korean Air OSL Ro36 Group G
Winner: EffOrt
“I’m happier that I won after a long time”



Q: It’s your 3rd consecutive Ro16 appearance
A: I’m happy that I won a Bo series after a long time. I’ve been slumping a lot lately, and I think I can use today to get back up again.

Q: Your reason for slumping?
A: I practiced pretty hard, but because I wasn’t performing well, my fans started to worry about me. I also became very confused. However, in order not to make those worries again, I’ll have to start doing well again.

Q: I think it’s your first slump since debut
A: After losing for a while, I became used to it. It was really hard for me, but thanks to my manager and coaches, I was able to settle my mind and endure it. Even today, I was only able to win with their advices.

Q: Your ZvZ hasn’t been good
A: I’m usually really confident with my ZvZ, but because I lost unexpectedly, my record was bad. However, when I saw that teams were sending out Zergs to snipe me in Winner’s League, I became enraged and couldn’t play the games calmly. As a result, my records have been falling as well as my skills. I think I can find confidence in ZvZ again.

Q: You must have wanted PianO to advance because your records were bad against FireFist
A: I wanted Piano to advance (laughs). Although I was worried when Firefist advanced, I thought that I must win.

Q: You must have had a time because your team’s records have been dropping at the same rate
A: I was acting as the ace player for the team, but I was surprised by performing poorly and it was indeed hard for me. I feel sorry for my teammates as well, because it feels like I affected them.

Q: Your build order for all 3 games were identical
A: A lot of it is mental game. Because my record against him was bad, and because I’ve been on a losing streak, I used a safe build, and Firefist saw that and went for 12 Hatchery all the games. It was surprising to be in the same situation all 3 games.

Q: You tried a Sunken rush in game 1
A: I tried it, but because he found out quickly, I didn’t feel good. However, I used that to become more spiteful and I ended up playing better.

Q: Ro16 players are really strong
A: It’s fun to play against good players. It’s more enjoyable to prepare for it, so I think this will be a fun Ro16.

Q: Your teammate Movie advanced to the finals last season
A: I congratulated him, but I wanted to be in that spot as well. I’ll do better in this OSL
