TeSL(Taiwan e-Sport League) staff were lucky to be able catch SEn for and interview after he finish NASL.They talk about NASL and SEn's plan for the future. I found it pretty interesting and revealing so i bring it up to you guys : ).This is quite a lengthy interview. I suppose SEn is more comfortable in interview in mandarin

http://www.esports.com.tw/2011/subpage/page/4/22

+ Show Spoiler +

I believe for those of fans who pay attention to international Starcraft 2 tournament knows: Our own zergking SEn beat korean great JulyZerg to take third place in NASL grand final.Because SEn's flight is on 7/25 and he has a few days of, we are very lucky to have an interview with him about NASL and his future. SEn is happy to have an interview and announcing an amazing news.So hold on tight guys!

[image loading]
<before e-sport in taiwan takes off, SEn was already making fame in international events>

Q:Why would you have so many broodlord in game 4?What were you thinking?

SEn:MC had a lot of ground army as well.If i attack before i have certain number of broodlord i would be crashed by blink stalkers.If i had some 6~7 infestors i must be fine.But my strategy was found out by his observer and i did not see him turning air units.

[image loading]
<Underneath his handsome look, he is actually pretty friendly>

Q:Can you illustrate the pressure when facing 2-2 against MC?You looked a little tired.

SEn:well...I though i was going to lose so there was no pressure.But thinking about beating him is...especially in game 4 where i have a lot of broodlord.I though i was going to win and the feeling is hard to describe.But in game 5 i feel MC was very skillful with his blink stalkers.And my micro was not enough so i lost.I don't feel tired at all.The infestor play i used in the game was taught by morrow and hasuobs. I don't use infestor a lot. But i feel it's really great so i use them.

[image loading]
<All of SEn's supporter knows he is funny in person>

Q:What is the key to victory in game 4 against JulyZerg?

SEn:I feel my decision to base-trade was forced.That was my only chance to win.So the decision was obviously the key.The choke to my main was blocked and i was not familiar with the map.I don't even know when the rock was broken down.That is my mistake and eventually I base trade to win.I was quite speechless as well.HAHAHAHA

[image loading]
<Sen's passion for delicious food is well known as well,so next time you see him just treat him to really good food!>

Q:You beat July and avenged the loss at Dreamhack summer.Now people are calling you the best foreign zerg.Who do you think can compete with you?

SEn:There are too many zerg that can compete at the same level<but they just don't have the opportunity.However, I appreciate this title as I know it's an approval to my skills. I will keep working hard and improve^^.

[image loading]
<To become top player in the world, SEn relies on more effort and being careful>

Q: Although you said you did not make that much preparation in the interview after game, many fans still wonder how you prepare against strong korean army?Do you target their strategy or do you just play as it goes?

SEn:I don't practice a lot.But i do think of the strategy and opening and the possible follow-ups and outcome.I also watch a lot of replay and vods.Like playing Zenio, i was not thinking about all-in before.It is all during the process.

[image loading]
<Sen was so strong even the taiwanese terran powerhouse Softball has to bow down>

Q:You know when you lost to MC in the first game, Artosis and Tasteless sounded so sad?How is your interaction with other players and commentators?

SEn:I am good friend with many people like Hasu, Morrow,White-ra,Ret...etc.And we cheer for each others.I have met Artosis and Tasteless 6 years ago back in BW day.Of course they want me to win.But sorry i let them down.

Q:According to your facebook fan page, many many fans came forward to you for signatures and pictures.How do you feel about being famous?

SEn:This is surprising = =I have never sign until my arm breaks.To see so many people in line for me....is absolutely incredible and different.I think i will remember this for the rest of my life.

[image loading]
<Sen's passion for SC is unparalleled to others>

Q:What are you going to do with that hugh amount of money?Treat your fans to chicken filet?

SEn:Maybe save it for live hahaha.Because i don't spent that much every day.Like I bought an I-Phone and a camera this year, and the cost to flight around.I used to have big dinner with my girlfriend,but we broke up earlier so...

[image loading]
<Being the hottest single out there,many female fans should be all over him >

Q:How do you speak english so well?Did you get tutor or specially learn?

SEn:My english is poor.So if you think I'm good then maybe it's because you are worse(smile).I think i interact better because I live with foreigners more.Right now I'm living in NASL staff rez with White-ra.

[image loading]
<Learning good english is a surprising gain from playing starcraft~>

Q:You have been to so many big foreign tournaments.Do you have any special experience at NASL?

SEn:It's about the same.Last month at Dreamhack was a little special.There was a hugh space like arena.Every player brought a sleeping bag with them.It is so hugh people bring their PC to practice.It is the first time i have seen it.

[image loading]
<Though still very young,he knows so much because he has been in foreign tournament regularly>

Q:If you have a chance to join TeSL,do you like current format(Bo3 of 5 Bo1) or KoF(KotH) or others?

SEn:Well i'm fine either way.But I am more concerned about the map.Because zerg is constantly bother by map design.As long as the map is fair.

[image loading]
<Sen takes all the challenge with ease>

Q:What do you want to say to fans?

SEn:My contract finish in August.I will join TeSL if no accident happens.See you guys in TeSL(by joining he meant joining one team in TeSL)

side note:

I know people are worrying that SEn might disappear in foreign scene.The truth is:

No He Won't!SEn will only participate in TeSL when no foreign tournament going on.Think of it more like a team league like GCPL or EG master.Sen confirmed it in his stream chat room. He say if you have more question he is gonna shove a chicken filet(his favorite food) into your mouth and shut you up!

On the other hand, this is a good opportunity for fans to see SEn more regularly.

For those of you wondering about TeSL

It's a league having games weekly on weekends.With official streaming on Friday,and televised match on the Saturday and Sunday.Luckily there are passionate fans who stream televised match on a regular basis.It







EDIT:
+ Show Spoiler +

Sorry it seems I didnt make things clear enough.Sen is joining a team in TeSL to compete in TeSL as well.I am assuming that means he is leaving fnatic but we will see.Sen is a big guy and he can make the best choice for himself.Look at it this way,Sen is probably the hottest in the free agency pool.There are many teams internationally to offers him contract.Let's trust Sen and I'm pretty sure he won't give up international events either.People at TeSL actually earn regular salary so it would not be that bad.

In the end,it is just like a free agency frenzy



Also, TeSL is having it's Championship game next weekend on Sunday, Jul 24 12:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00). Help yourself and tune in for some fun game between Tt Apollo and Xpec Ironman!

Interesting. Let's see how it all works out.
We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. -Charlie Chaplin

Well seeing as Slayers_Dragon absolutely crushed people in TeSL like no contest (multiple times).
And seeing as Sen absolutely crushed Slayers_Dragon (multiple times).

I think it's safe to assume Sen will crush TeSL in two folds.

I thought the TeSL was a team league? Will Sen be joining a Taiwanese team as a mercenary of sorts?

IIRC, Sen's contract w/ fnatic ends sometime this summer(not sure, but I know it ends soon). After that, he might just join a Taiwanese team and play for them in the TeSL

While sad for us international fans to see Sen playing less in international events, I think it's great to see Taiwan's local scene grow to a point where it can support its top players.
