Q: How to do feel about getting into the Ro16?
A: I'm proud to have 2-0ed a group of death. I'm very happy to have proved my strength. It would've really sucked if I lost on Christmas, so I'm really happy to win.

Q: You found the proxy barrack in your first game(against Leta)
A: I always seem to lose against Leta, so really he had a good chance even if he played standard. But he instead chose cheese. From my perspective, I didn't really rule out any play other than all-in. So I chose the safest opening to show my true ability.

Q: You seem quite skilled at long ZvZs, do you practice them a lot?
A: During in-house practice, we generally prolong games even if one side has a sizable advantage. Plus I've practiced this situation for a while now, so I'm familiar with late game ZvZ. Recently though I've stopped using this style. But given that most players don't play long ZvZs, I still feel I can win long ones. Plus, I know Woonjin zergs like to go hive in ZvZ, so I comfortably used my old style of play.

Q: You missed some timing windows to finish the game quicker
A: There was one timing I thought would end the game. But soulkey made lurkers, and I couldn't break his defense. So instead I changed my strategy and expanded everywhere.

Q: What's the key unit for winning?
A: I'd say lings make the most difference. For a long time now the best zergs always make great use of lings from start to finish. When I play, I find that I can find a lot of holes in opposing defenses using lings.

Q: Your Ro16 opponent will also be a zerg, Action.
A: Because it's ZvZ, I feel no pressure. Instead, I think action should be feeling a lot of pressure. Right now my goal this MSL is even higher than Ro8 before. And I'm definitely going to achieve this goal.

Q: Any last words?
A: I practiced til dawn on Christmas eve, but my teammates who helped me practice did not complain. So when I get back I'll have to treat them to dinner. Thank you all for helping me. There's still a few hours left, and I wish to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. And also, be careful not to catch a cold.

Q: What are your thoughts to getting into the Ro16?
A: Extremely happy, but also lamenting the fact that I'll have to play Zero hyung. I feel kind of guilty about it.


Q: Were you extra pumped because of Zero's comments of you not having a chance to advance?
A: Zero hyung's always like that. I simply played up to my normal standard. Although I thought about perhaps winning as the 2nd seed, I didn't actually expect it to be this way. (Laughs)

Q: You'll face Zero in the Ro16.
A: We're really close, so I don't think either one of us will be too upset if we loss. No matter who wins, I want us to play exciting games. Plus I'd want someone on our team to go far into the tournament. Obviously, it would be best if that person was me. (laughs)

Q: Do you generally like to play long ZvZs?
A: Obviously, our team's famous for hive-play, so we get into such situations quite a bit in practice. But today great's counter was excellent, to the point where I didn't know what to do. It was a very disadvantageous situation, so I could only tell myself to try my best.

Q: You have an awesome record against Fantasy.
A: I wouldn't say we're rivals, but luck has always been on my side. Every time I play fantasy, I usually play well. Today his strategy on triathlon made it easy for me. But the last game was definitely difficult.

Q: You must've used all your ability to defend in the last game
A: I can't really show up Zero given how much better his records have been(tl note: perhaps alluding to Zero's loss to Fantasy?). I pretty much gritted my teeth the entire game. But I must say luck was on my side even in that game. You really need luck to perform your very best.

Q: Lots of zergs in the MSL
A: Perhaps due to the maps which are easy to play on. Also the zergs that have advanced are all very good ones. ZvT is my strength, so I generally don't care about maps in the matchup. But these maps are good for ZvT.

Q: What's your goal this MSL?
A: My goal is stay longer than Zero hyung. So I can't lose the next match. Although we tell each other that no one should practice, I think Zero may practice in secret. I really hope he doesn't do that. So we can go at it fairly.

Q: Your final words?
A: Recently my hyungs have all ended their losing streaks. Only I came in with a 4-game losing streak. But that ended today. Hopefully, our team can win tomorrow, and work hard towards not having another losing streak.

the first (T)SoulKey is the creator of the SK terran build(where SK means (T)SoulKey)

both players play exceptionally well today and deserved to go into the Ro16.

Yeah, this guy is really good, or just Fantasy doesnt know how to fight against him. I saw many games of Fantasy and i dont remember Zerg who would be such a problem for him. JD and Effort were burrowed more than once, Action was dismanteled 3 times, Zero was eliminated by him from WCG, Calm was worthy oponent for the time but since last season he's Fantasy's favorite bitch. And now its Zerg who found a bitch in Fantasy.
Shameless BroodWar separatistic, elitist, fanaticaly devoted puritan fanboy.

Not the expected results, but I knew something like this could happen. Tough group.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

I don't see why you're smiling,its not really a good thing that a map favors Zerg over both Protoss and Terran.

it would end up like protoss plains.

Sad that fantasy could not pull out one of his games against Sk

And im surprised that SK decided to force hive against great. Great is probaly the zerg outside of Stars' house with the most hive experience. I think he would have been better off going for standard.
Protoss: Best, Paralyze, Jangbi, Nal_Ra || Terran: Oov, Boxer, Fantasy, Hiya|| Zerg: Yellow, Zero
