Korean Air OSL Ro36 Group J
Winner: (T)BaBy
“I’ll play in the league in order to learn”


[image loading]


Q: How do you feel about advancing to your first Ro16
A: I feel really excited. I’ll try my best in the main league in order to rise to a higher place. My first goal is Ro8.

Q: You dominated (Z)Jaedong, who was one of the favorites to win
A: We practice a lot together so I analyzed him a lot, and I was able to win thanks to luck. I personally think that I still lack a lot of skill, so I want to become better in televised matches.

Q: You can go for the youngest Royal Roader
A: Rather than the youngest, I want to shoot for the most number of wins or the most number of titles now.

Q: Your last game was impressive
A: I think that when you’re in a disadvantage, you should risk something in order to shorten the gap. I played that game thinking that way, but because it worked so well, the game turned into my favor

Q: What do you think would have happened if Jaedong had 1 more Lurker in his first attack
A: I have no idea. It was the first time facing a strategy like that, but I was used to it from Hero’s Lurkers in the previous match.

Q: Your last game against (Z)hero was also fierce
A: That was also my first time playing against the strategy, but I chose to make Wraiths instead of Dropships. I thought that it would be too late to use Vessels to kill Defilers.

Q: What was the hardest game?
A: My 2nd game against Jaedong was the hardest. Because I took the lead so quickly from a disadvantageous situation, I was shaken mentally as well.

Q: What did you think when you were set for Ro16
A: I thought “I finally advanced”.

Q: You only had to practice TvZ
A: It was comfortable. I think that had a huge affect on me today.

Q: You’re a dual leaguer now.
A: I don’t think my skills fit to be a dual leaguer yet, so I’ll practice my hardest until the Group Selections and show good games.

Q: It must be your first group selection
A: I will have to ask people for advice.

Q: Anything else?
A: I thank my fans who came to cheer for me, and rather than thinking about winning, I’ll play in order to learn.

- 첫 16강 진출 소감은
▲ 처음 올라간 거라서 설렌다. 본선에 가서도 높은 곳까지 올라갈 수 있도록 열심히 하겠다. 일단 첫 번째 목표는 8강이다.

- 우승후보인 이제동을 2:0으로 완파했는데
▲ 연습을 많이 하는 사이라서 스타일을 잘 파악했었고 운이 잘 따라주기도 해서 이길 수 있었다. 개인적으로 실력이 부족하다고 생각하기 때문에 모든 방송 경기를 통해서 실력을 더 쌓고 싶다.

- 최연소 로열로더 타이틀도 노려볼 수 있게 됐다
▲ 이제는 최연소라는 타이틀보다는 최다승, 최다 우승 이런 타이틀이 붙을 수 있도록 만들고 싶다.

- 마지막 경기가 인상적이었다
▲ 개인적으로 불리할 때는 변수를 두어서 차이를 좁혀야 한다는 생각이다. 이번에도 그런 생각으로 게임을 했는데 그게 너무 많이 이득을 봐서 오히려 불리했던 상황이 유리해 졌던 것 같다.

- 1세트에서 이제동의 첫 공격에서 러커 1기가 더 있었다면 어땠을까
▲ 그건 잘 모르겠다. 처음 당해 본 전략이었지만 그 전 경기에서 (조)일장이형한테 러커를 당했기때문에 적응이 됐던 것 같다.

- 조일장과의 마지막 경기도 치열했는데
▲ 그 때도 처음 당해본 전략이었는데 어떻게 손이 가다 보니까 드랍십 이후에 레이스를 선택했다. 베슬로 디파일러를 잡기에는 타이밍이 너무 늦었다고 생각했다.

- 어떤 경기가 가장 힘들었나
▲ 제동이형이랑 했던 두 번째 경기가 가장 힘들었다. 오히려 상황이 갑자기 유리해져서 정신적으로 흔들렸던 것 같다.

- 16강을 확정 지었을 때 든 생각은 뭐였나
▲ ‘이제 드디어 올라가는구나’ 하고 생각했다.

- 저그전만 연습하면 되는 상황이었는데
▲ 그래서 더 편했다. 그런 점도 이번 진출에 큰 영향을 끼쳤던 것 같다.

- 이제 당당한 양대리거다
▲ 아직 양대리거에 어울리는 실력은 아니라고 생각하기 때문에 조지명식 전까지라도 열심히 연습해서 좋은 모습 보여 드리고 싶다.

- 조지명식도 처음일 텐데
▲ 먼저 올라갔던 선배들에게 조언을 구해봐야 할 것 같다.

- 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ “응원 와 주신 팬들에게 감사하고 첫 진출인데 이긴다는 생각보다 배운다는 생각으로 경기에 임하도록 하겠습니다.”

There's a reason why Stork's a fan favorite.

I hope Baby fails miserably in both leagues.

Baby will go very very very far. He is extremely young, incredibly talented, already very skilled, and knows his weaknesses. At this stage, most people would say "lololol I'm better than JD, I'll win everything, look at me". Baby, instead, wants to improve because he is not yet satisfied of himself, and of his skill.

Insatisfaction, that what makes champions. Self satisfied people don't get anywhere.

Good luck to him.

Y_Y Jaedong.
Oh well good luck BaBy...
I really can't believe there's going to be an OSL without Jaedong...
(At least this way he can concentrate on winning MSL again?)

Yeah. I am totally rooting for Stork to take both Finals.

Or at least dual silvers lol.

I don't hate Baby...but...I honestly don't see him going very far at all in the dual leagues. He has no experience with the big leagues and he lacks confidence. Moreover, he may still have PL obligations as well. He is not mentally prepared for the stress load that is associated with dual leaguers. His skill level isn't quite up to par with the best yet. I think he will fail pretty miserably very early in the leagues.

Yeah, can't believe some of the negative attitudes towards Baby. As if Baby is somehow to blame for actually playing to win...and winning!

OMG yeahhhh baby!! Been so happy for him ever since his proleague domination and his qualification into the survivor leagues of osl/msl. Most underrated player, definitely gonna be big in a matter of years (think how much TIME he has to get absolutely beast at this game).

Baby is so modest, but he's been doing pretty well recently, and is at his ELO peak (even though its only 2137).
I hope he transitions into SC2 eventually.

Why do I get this feeling that the OSL, being sponsored by a Korean airline, would probably end up as a TvT? Anyone else feel this? lol

Yeah, almost fell asleep after the second question; feel bad for the interviewers who want some answers that aren't the same every time.

Anyone know if the korean community complains about this also?
