IMMvp

- Congratulations on your win. Comments on that?
▲ First of all, it feels good to defeat MarineKingPrime.WE, the Terran that I acknowledge as one of the best Terran players. This all feels unreal as this is my first finals win in my life.

- There were expectations of 4-0 if everything went according to your plans, and it happened. Did you expect that would become a reality?
▲ I didn't think I would win 4-0 even if everything went as I planned. It all went much better than I thought. I think that I was very lucky to achieve a 4-0 win.

- In a pre-game interview, you said you would show how fast Marines can be?
▲ I found out that MarineKingPrime.WE likes to use Marine+Marauder combo to deal with the Siege Tanks. So, I thought I could probably use Marines only to deal with that combo, and it seemed to have worked.

- If you were to assign a concept for the strategies in each matches you played, what would they be?
▲ I prepared specifically only for the first match. Second match and onward, I played as I went. It looks like the luck continued to be with me since the first match.

- Both Code S and Code A finals were won by a Terran. What do you think about that?
▲ I heard that next season, there'll be new maps. I believe the current situation will change when maps change. I do not personally believe that Terran is much stronger than other races.

- The fact today's victory is the very first victory in the line of regular seasons, should make you happy. It appears other players will challenge you, which one do you think is most threatening?
▲ As I have mentioned in other interviews, IMNesTea is the most daunting player to face. I hope to see him somewhere near the finals in the next season.

- Did any specific player gave you the most help during your practice sessions?
▲ I wrote that list on my cell phone, since so many have helped me! (laugh). TSL.Clide, ST.Sound, ZeNeXBleach, SlayerSCchapSeungEu, IMGanZi, Kim Hyung-Jin, Yun Hyung-Seo, TSL.aLive, ST.Bomber, ST.Virus -- they all have helped me to win today.

- There's a team league before the start of Season 2. IM didn't have a good record in the invitational before. Do you plan to participate in the team league?
▲ Of course. There is no GSL matches scheduled during that time, so I will proactively participate. There's two finals winners in our team now, and thus, should achieve a good winning record this time.

- How much of your real skills do you think you have shown?
▲ I think I am well suited for a big stage like this. I believe I have shown 100% of my skills without tensing up.

- You seemed to have read what the opponent is doing. Any secrets?
▲ I did not predict ahead of time of every builds that MarineKingPrime.WE could have done. In the 2nd match, I thought he would do a proxy Banshee rush, but by finding that he had built a Command Center, it allowed me to win without much problem.

- Last comments?
▲ I want to say thanks to Lee Jae-Kyun coach for sending me encouraging texts and for calling me to do well whenever I had a match. He has a match tomorrow with Woongjin, and I wish for his team to win. I want to say thanks to all the fans and team members, and I will work hard to be much better next season.

He read MKP like a book in every damn game and exploited it marvelously.

MKP went heavy mech in first game and MVP took advantage of that by taking gold and forcing a confrontation at the middle with his superior positioned siege tanks

2nd game he found the proxy cc, then proceeded to drop and punish MKP for spreading himself too thin between the gold and his main, and predicted MKP's base trade attempt at the end perfectly.

3rd game he abused MKP's standard 1 rax CC opener with a 4 rax timing attack before he had enough to defend, bunkered up and defended his all-in extremely well.

4th game he again predicted MKP going for his back rocks with his more mobile MM, and got there before MKP could break them, and he took significant damage while trying. MVP exploited that by immediately pushing in and containing MKP, and again predicted his attempt to base trade and took minimal losses with forces he kept back at home.

MVP was always 1 step ahead of MKP, almost to a sickening degree, and deserved every win of his 4-0.

i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Well, it was MKP that started that stuff

That and all the throwing 11 rax in the shape of a heart, making a supply depot heart and playing round with them!

SPOILERS MAN!

JK, + Show Spoiler +
MVP
is a beast. One of the only Terrans I really enjoy watching. It's nice that each race has now won at least one GSL.

As for the landing mules thing, I don't know why but I really like it. Some other races should do something like that. Spam FF/guardian shields or something. I don't really know what zerg could do besides /dance or whatever that command is.

yuou should add a spoiler tag to this.
If you're mad that someone else is brazenly trumpeting their beliefs with ignorance, perhaps you should be mad that you are doing it too.

:| Do people really read threads that have an interview with the winner and expect no spoilers? I don't....I don't understand that.
