EPTGroup A winner:
Kal![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1293188834_1.jpg)
- You advanced as second place in your group.
▲ The pressure during the preparation was enormous. My opponent is a new player and I don't know what style he plays, and I was very worried. I'm very glad to have won.
-
Flash is eliminated.▲ If I lost and have to play tiebreaker it would be very stressful, therefore I really needed to win it. Having Flash, the greatest obstacle on the road to championship removed, is a good thing in some way. However he was like a little brother to me and he saved my life once, so I'm still very sad.
- How was the game?
▲ He played very well, I couldn't do anything against his reaver harass, but luckily it fired duds. Although I wouldn't say it was a Christmas present, but I felt like luck was on my side. When I heard the sound of my opponent's reaver blown up, I thought I could accomplish what I want today.
- You must be very happy to have won on Christmas eve.
▲ The atmosphere is always very happy before Christmas, but if I lost I would have been very depressed while preparing for tomorrow's match. Winning feels good and I really want to share it with people around me. We will play Airforce ACE on Christmas day tomorrow, and since I won I will prepare with a very positive mindset and I think I will get good results.
- Thoughts on your goal?
▲ Since Flash is eliminated, I can hope to aim for the championship this season. I think this is a great opportunity and I will work hard to get good results.
- Anything else you want to say?
▲ Tomorrow is Christmas day, I wish everyone a happy Christmas. The weather is very cold so everyone please take care.

Group B winner:
HoGiL![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1293190491_1.jpg)
- You finished the RO16 with a win after 2 losses.
▲ I fought really hard to get into RO16, and I was deeply regretful after losing 2 games and eliminated. But even then I managed to play the last game without any pressure and I won, for that I am very happy.
- It was a very dynamic game.
▲ My opponent spawned in the best location at 5oclock, and I was at a BO disadvantage right from the start. It felt very depressing but I kept playing and won. I made the best judgment I could and
Jaedong happened to play too aggressive and wasted alot of his forces while he was ahead, so I managed to win.- What did you gain from this win?
▲ After I lost twice I thought I haven't shown my true potential, this time I came with a calm and relaxed mind and I won. I feel that the mindset is the most important thing. This season I got eliminated because I played very poorly, if I managed to get back next season I will make sure I have a good mindset and I will work hard to advance to RO8.
- Tonight is Christmas Eve.
▲ Since we still have SPL matches, Christmas don't matter much to pro-gamers. Once I get back I'm probably just going to practice.
- Anything else you want to say?
▲ I wish everyone can have a happy christmas. However since I beat Jaedong, it must have made alot of people unhappy, and I'm very worried about that. But I have always wanted to win against him, so I hope everyone won't hate me too much.

Update:
Group C winner:
Mind![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1293192853_1.jpg)
- Thoughts on creating a tiebreaker?
▲ Because I got into the same group with
Shine this OSL our goal was to advance together, but I lost my first game and now we have a tiebreaker as well. Though firstly I am very glad to have won today, the tiebreaker schedule will be very tough. However I still wish to advance together with Shine.- It seemed like a one sided game.
▲ I seem to have practiced more than
Sea. I have confidence to win and I practiced alot too, therefore the game was easier than expected.- All your tiebreaker opponents are very tough.
▲ Lately it was no longer the matchup advantage that is important, but rather the maps and the player's skill. There will be many games so therefore the more consistent player will have the advantage. We are all excellent players, but my goal is to advance with
Shine, so I hope we can both defeat Stork.- Tonight is Christmas eve.
▲ Actually I had no idea, I only heard it was Christmas eve after the practice session. Getting out of our team house was tough, the traffic jam was severe, and that was when it really sunk in. because of that we got to the venue late and it didn't feel very good. Although I'm still very happy to see so many couples out there enjoying themselves. I will prepare for the tiebreaker seriously.
- Leesung was eliminated before your game, did you thought that your chance has arrived.
▲ After all
Flash and Jaedong are very hard working, so I think they will definitely make a comeback. We are all mortal and we all lose sometimes, so I don't think this is much of a big deal. As long as you win you will be praised. Breaking the Leesung strangle hold on the individual leagues is a good thing. As for me personally, my momentum has long since declined, so I don't really think I have much chance. I will only think about working hard on what I do.- Anything else you want to say?

Baby helped me practice diligently even though it was his day off, I want to thank him.Source: PlaySC
