[Interview] MBC vs SKT

You've achieved three straight wins in the Proleage.
I'm glad it didn't stop at just two wins. I'll work hard for my team. To be honest, winning a lot doesn't matter for me. I'm just happy to show that I'm not weak yet.

Your OSL games must have been depressing.
I regret it a lot. In both second and third games I was ahead. I focused on not getting too confident but I lost. I'm also sad that I didn't get to play any Zergs. There will be a time later when I will be able to show my vs Zerg, which I really want to show to my fans.

Your match against Bisu was considered a teacher-apprentice battle.
I'm grateful that Bisu credited me with helping him. Bisu worked hard himself to reach that high. I feel good too about it. Truthfully, I was burdened a lot for that match. But I still won a match after losing twice. Personally, I don't think there is much difference between going 2-1 and 1-2. I will get over this loss quickly.

Today's match must mean a lot.
Normally, a lot of people would have predicted Bisu's win. If I kept losing, Bisu'd become one of those opponents who I could never beat. Because I won, I think I can keep those thoughts out.

You have the Playoffs ahead of you.
The playoffs are really important. I want to be on the big stage once more. MBC also reached the finals only once. I did play once on the finals stage but it was a team match. This time, I want to show my 1vs1 play. I've won several times before in the PO and I won to add to that number of wins.

Will we be able to see you play in the future too?
Our team has three matches left and I want to play in at least two of them. I want to end with a 5 win streak before the PO.

Are you feeling your fans' responses?
They tell me to play better. Before, there used to be a lot of hate comments but there are a lot more suggestions now. I want to show that I am still working hard to win.

Your thoughts on winning?
Today was an important game. We lost our third place ranking for a while but we got it back. We will defend that position till the end.

Will you reclaim 2nd place?
We're very hungry for it. Thinking about it, our losses to Khan and Ace were so disappointing. We will work hard to win the rest of our games.

Your vP stats are very good.
I have a mindset that I will win every game. I think every matchup is balanced and what matters is winning only.

Your DT strat worked well.
Best went a little greedy so it worked well. It was a free win almost. Going DTs was a spontaneous build decision. I like playing spontaneously.

Pusan is playing well lately.
He was always good. He only didn't come out on TV to play. He is the key to winning. He seems to win all the important matches.

You have the MSL in front of you.
I think JD will be hungry for revenge from two years ago. I wish he would go easy, but I have to win too. I wasn't able to practice much because of the proleague, but I'll make sure I get into the Ro16 for the MSL.

Your next game is against CJ. Any opponents in particular that you want to face?
There is no one really. I just want to help my team win.

Any last words?
It'd be great if we got second place but we will definitely protect our third place rank.

Your feelings on winning an important match?
Truthfully, we are keeping our eyes on second place but we can also be kicked out of the PO if we lose all our matches. Our match against SKT was a big hurdle and we're glad that we won.

It seemed like you practiced a lot for your match.
I really wanted to try this and felt like today was the day. It wasn't particularly because the opponent was a new player but I did feel that it'd work better.

Don't you want to reach 30 wins?
I didn't even think about that, though I do want to win the rest of my games. 30 wins by itself doesn't have much value but I think if I win consistently, I'll reach 30 wins naturally.

Pusan is back.
He's actually very good. I think he gets nervous on stage or something. His skills are finally beginning to shine through. It'll be a big help as we're just about to enter the PO. Pusan normally quits practicing early but nowadays he's practicing till 1 or 2 AM.

Did you watch STX's game yesterday?
It kinda sucked for us, but we can't do anything. We just played bad in the beginning. It'd be great of STX lost the remaining matches but we can't do anything if they win. What's important is that we win the remaining sets. I hope our teammates won't worry about STX's games.

You even had a ceremony planned.
It's what our team used to do for fun. Hyun did it some time ago but it was actually my ceremony. I just had some coins in my pocket so I tried to do it naturally. I should have shook my arm as I picked it up. It's a shame I couldn't act like I was really picking up money from the ground.

Did you watch Paraguay vs Japan?
I did. I actually didn't watch much world cup after South Korea was eliminated. I watched til the very end of the second half yesterday. The penalty kick rounds were so nervewrecking. I tried it when I played soccer last time and the goal looked really far. I think Asia has advanced a lot in soccer. I hope to see Korea and Japan in the Ro8 next Brazil world cup.

Aren't your remaining matches all hard?
Our match against CJ is actually pretty hard. Well, they're all hard games. I want to win them all and end the PO well.
