Due to popular demand I stayed up til 5am in the morning spamming F5 on chinese sites like a noob, until this came out.

(Z)ZerO: Don't mind whether (T)Flash win or lose.
[image loading]

- You have 2 wins on hand in the the Ro16
▲ If I lost today I will probably be eliminated, fortunately I won, and avoided the worst possible outcome. I'm relieved.

- You won fairly easily despite playing very conservative
▲ This match reflects my recent form, I seem to win relatively easy. There weren't much danger, maybe my opponent didn't expect I would play this way. He didn't start the game well, so I know he wont try anything risky. We both scouted each other, so attacking would have more loss than gain.

- Including non official matches you are on a 10 game winning streak, was there any secret?
▲ My competitiveness has always been inconsistent. But this time it feels abit different than previous times when I was playing well. I think my way of thinking has matured alot than before.

- If (T)Flash wins on Friday you'll be in the Ro8, if he loses then you'd have to play a tiebreaker.
▲ I don't really mind whether (T)Flash wins or loses. If he wins then I get an easy ticket to the Ro8, if he lose I'll play the tiebreaker. My current form is pretty good, so it will help me. I have been performing well recently, so I want to play more matches.

- Your ZvZ has improved dramatically, is there any secret?
▲ There are no secrets, I just managed to play at the same level in live game as I did in practice. Nowadays I don't seem to be that nervous in big matches anymore, perhaps I have found a way to play to my true skills in big games.

- You will be playing (T)Fantasy in the WCG qualifier.
▲ When (T)Flash and (T)Fantasy do interviews, they always say they want to advance together. But I hope that they can get eliminated together (laugh). I will definitely do my best to advance.

- Did (P)free gloat on his Ro8 qualification?
▲ Usually (P)free hyung is not the gloating type. I personally hope that (P)Stork hyung would have a good performance.

- Last words?
▲ Our team is resting today, I want to thank (Z)Crazy-Hydra for helping me practice. Also, We are on a 3 game winning streak on STX cup, so I feel like our first tournament win is within our reach. There aren't alot of matches left, we will play well in the rest of the games, and hope we can get our first team tournament win.

Zero always performs well in the Ro16; it's in the latter stages of the tournaments he tends to crumble. But this time will be different!!! Please?
