Thoughts on making the Ro4?
-I thought I'd lose, I couldn't even believe it myself when I won. If the openings were similar, because Maka is a stronger player, I felt I'd be disadvantaged. Luckily I could defend his all-in in game 2, otherwise I really didn't have the confidence to win.
You were limited by your opponent all throughout game 1.
-I made some big mistakes when microing the drop. Even though I knew then that I couldn't win, I thought I couldn't give up so early, so I kept going for a bit.
You defended an all-in in game 2.
-I saw VODs of Maka's games in the Blizzcon Invitational qualifiers, so I thought there could be an all in rush.
The opponent saw your Bunker but still chose to attack.
-Even if there are 2 Bunkers on the high ground, without tanks, you can't hold the ramp. So I chose to make tanks, which was key to victory.
You used a Thor + Marine rush in game 3.
-I saw people use it in games before, and thought it was good, so I used it.
Are your confident for the Ro4?
-A lot of people were waiting for a Cool-Maka semifinal, but unfortunately Cool's opponent is now me. I'm sorry to those fans, but since I advanced, I will do my best.
You already guaranteed 10 million won in prize money [T/N: ~8700USD]
-The computer at home broke, I need to buy a new computer first [laugh]
How do you plan on preparing for the Ro4?
-The games are tomorrow, so I can't prepare fully. It'll be a battle of the basics.
Thoughts on the Ro4?
-To be honest I didn't have expectations for today's games. It'll be the same tomorrow, I'll just do my best.

Cool
Thoughts on making the Ro4?
-I'm very excited. I thought I could get eliminated this time, but I played with the must-win mentality.
You 6 pooled in game 1.
-I feel like it's a good strategy. I had a lot of strategies, but I thought about it a lot and decided to 6 pool. Other people told me to 6 pool too.[/b]
You FE'ed in game 2.
-If the opponent 2 gates or cannon rushes it'd be hard to defend, so I had wanted to get lings earlier. But when the game started I suddenly felt confident enough to defend it. Because the lings killed the Zealots, I was able to get Banelings.
You're the only Zerg in the Ro4.
-ZvP is still very hard, but I'm confident in my ZvT. But it seems Ultralisks got nerfed yet again today, I maybe ZvT will become harder.
Will you be confident in the Ro4?
-As long as they don't patch again I'm confident. I'll succeed if I work hard [laugh]
You might meet sSKS in the finals.
-After the prelims I told him I wished to meet him in the finals, and seeing the brackets, it was possible. I wasn't confident at first, but I'm still in the Ro4 now.
The opponent left without GG.
-After the game ended he PMed me and said he was confused, so he didn't GG, and apologized. I think it's because he was rushed in both games, I can understand.
The semifinals are Bo5.
-It's true the maps are bad for Zerg, but I'll try my best.[/b]
Last words?
-EternalPrime, who I eliminated in the Ro64 helped me practice a lot, and was really dedicated. Thanks to him.

HopeTorture
Thoughts on beating sSKS and making the Ro4?
-The games all went according to plan. I didn't have time to prepare for game 3, so I'm glad it ended 2-0.
The opponent used Void Rays in game 1.
-The teammate I practiced with can only use Void Rays, after practicing with him, I'm immune to Void Rays.
You were always on the offensive in game 2.
-I wanted to end it 2-0. I didn't even expand, so I couldn't let my opponent have his natural, so I kept pressuring him.
Who do you want to play in the Ro4?
-I hope for a Protoss. I always discuss strategies with Ensnare, so if I play with him, there'd be no secrets. It'd be harder to prepare.
Some people hope you switch to Protoss.
-Protoss is much stronger than in BW, so I don't really care if I play Protoss. But when I first picked race I saw no one else was playing Terran, so I chose it. Now I'm familiar with Terran, so I don't want to change races. I think Terran is the strongest.
During BW I kept saying Terran was too hard, and Boxer-hyung kept joking and telling me to switch to Terran. Now I'm playing Terran in SC2, I'm finally experiencing it. Besides TvT, everything is easy.
This is your best result as a progamer.
-A lot of players with a chance to do even better didn't participate, so even if I win I don't think I'm very strong. There'll be even stronger people participating in the future, so I can't be satisfied with my current results and I'll need to work harder.
Now you're playing Bo5s.
-Bo5 emphasizes basics and mind games.
Last words?
-Thanks to all my teammates who helped me practice, I'll repay them by winning. Go Startale!

Ensnare
You won with ease.
-True. It's because the Hellions that I made only for scouting got a lot, so I was able to win with ease.
Your opponent in the Ro4 is HopeTorture.
-The opponent is strong, but I'll prioritize enjoying the games.
The semis are Bo5, do you have any good strategies?
-I haven't thought about it yet, but Hope-hyung has very aggressive, so I think if I can defend and drag it to late game I'd be good.
You ensured 10 million won prize money.
-I don't have much to say about that. I just want to enjoy SC2, enjoy happy times.
It can be a TvT finals.
-I think Cool will win, so it won't be TvT. In Bo5, mind games are important, and Cool-hyung has the advantage of progaming experience, so he has a big advantage.
You're in the Ro4, are you satisfied?
-I'm in the upper levels of the rankings, as long as I don't lose to players who are around my level or below, I'm satisfied. It seems I can be satisfied now.
Last words?
-I defeated many Protosses to get to the Ro4, I'll treat them to meals [laugh]
