Hite Entus's star zerg player was Effort, but he retired right before the 10-11 season. The player who will carry on his role is Hydra. He stated "I will try my best to fill-in Effort's gap" after making it onto MSL for the third time in a row.
Q You've made it to MSL for the third time in a row A I'm happy that I made it. I never thought about not making it into round 36. I'm happy that I made it, but since I'm slumping in proleague, I don't think I will be as happy as before.
Q Since your best record is round of 16, what's your goal this season? A Everyone's goal who moves onto round of 32 is to win the tournament. My initial goal is to make it onto quarterfinals so that I can get seeded, and then I will have new goals.
Q Your group seemed tough. How did you prepare for your matches today? A I didn't practice the final map (Triathlon). I prepared the first match, thinking that I will definitely win. Recently, my mirror match up has been bad so I practiced a lot on the winner's bracket map with the mirror match up in my mind.
Q Your zergling run-by in winner's bracket was good. A There was no gas in his natural, and he didn't have that many probes in his main either. Since I scouted and understood what my opponent was doing, I won easily.
Q You're the zerg star of Hite now. Don't you feel stressed due to the fact that you hae to fill-in Effort's spot? A Every zerg on our team is practicing very hard so that we don't hear the words 'Hite's zerg line-up sucks without Effort.' Pretty soon, I think we will have a good record in matches. The only way to prove ourselves is to win more matches. . Q You were aggressive in both matches A For the first match, Ssak's SCV died early and he made the command center in his natural openly. I thought that if I attacked, I would win no matter what. Second game was improvisation and it just worked out well.
Q Last words? A My teammates fill up the most spots in MST right now. I want them to prepare well and perform well so that they won't regret anything.
SK Telecom T1's Ssak beat Jangbi and made his MSL debut. Ssak didn't perform well despite many support from his teammates, so he thanked a lot of people. Ssak, whose goal is to make it into round of 16, said "I want Canata to make it also so that we can show SK Terran's power"
Q Your reaction for making a debut in MSL? A I was perplexed when I lost the first match without doing anything. I only prepared zerg matches so I thought it would be hard for me to make it into MSL. I think I made it into MSL because I was lucky today.
Q Did you prepare up to final match? A I only practice terran vs zerg since I thought that I was going to face a zerg player, even in the final match.
Q You were warned for not wearing your headset. A I accidentally forgot to wear the headset when they abruptly started the match while I was warming my hands up. I didn't know what was going on, even when the referee entered PPP, until someone else told me what was going on.
Q You were very close to losing on the last two matches. A I didn't think too much when I played Hoejja. Since I was relaxed by the time I played Jangbi, I felt okay.
Q What's your first MSL Goal? A Since I'm new, I want to make it past round of 16. I'll think about the later stages after I pass round of 16.
Q Any last words? A I need to thank many people. iloveoov game me many builds as well as advice. Many of my zerg teammates helped me out also. I also thank my parents and fans for cheering for me today. One of my friend's birthday is today, so I want to wish him happy birthday. Canata is playing in group two today, and I want him to make it into MSL so that we can show everyone SK Terran's power.
Congratulations to both players, and good luck in PDPop MSL!
Hydra has two snaggleteeth for which it seems he is wearing braces. And sometimes when you wear braces and you don't brush hard enough, it becomes a bit unsightly. But once his teeth straighten out, he should have a nice smile.
i spend a lot of time in asia - in korea their dental care is much more than in say, china, but still dentist/orthodontist treatment isn't as regular as it is in US, so people who chain smoke every day have real nasty teeth (same like in US)
ON TOPIC: good to see some new blood in MSL! I hope ssak does well
