Q: This is your 2nd OSL champ since the Panasonic OSL in 2003.
A: I feel like dreaming, is it true? I should have been overjoyed but the victory makes me dumb.
Q: 3:0 is totally unexpected?
A: What I predicted was 3:2. Well I'm lucky today, not only win hands down at the 1st game, but also get the most favored position on each map. I think God bless me today, maybe cuz I lost too many finals before.
Q: You've beaten the best two zerg players at present.
A: July won KT-KTF series and Gorush took Golf MSL, so...it's my turn this OSL. Whatever, I just look forward to the champ for a long time. It has been more than 1 year since the lastest champ(1st KT-KTF series). And what makes me sick most is those voices that "NaDa got runner-up in every league he participated in". So I have to defend myself from them with victories.
Q: It seems like both final and semifinal are your revenge games.
A: No, I haven't thought about any revenge. The rival is myself in fact. I am so eager to for the champion, my will is much more furious than anyone. I stopped at quarters in past several seasons, this time I were so anxious for my performance in the quarters. And after the 2:0 winning against Yellow, I thought it's my time to win this OSL.
Q: Really depressed after the defeats in the MSL final and KT-KTF semifinal?
A: Yes, very painful. I had gave up alcohol for three month, but losing the SKY ProLeague Grand Final(Feb 26th), I broke my words and went to drink. Usually I would like to take one bottle, well I drank two that day. To be frank, the semifinal versus Gorush was the toughest one for me. And recently newcomers are very strong. Competing with them, I has less practice and even my APM is lower. The only method to survive in this field is more practice. Besides myself, I hope all those who were remarked as "Four Masters"(referring to BoxeR, Yellow, Reach & NaDa) won't lose heart. Especially it's iloveoov's successive triumphs that press me very hard. I can't release myself at any time, the competition is so cruel.
Q: So you haven't prepared for MBC Teamleague final tomorrow?(March 6th, P&C vs GO)
A: I prepared a lot! Just kidding(laugh). Actually I didn't do anything for it. I appreciate all my teammates who partake of my pressure. I'm grateful to Siva, Mumyung, Silver, Niza and SalMoSa who help me a lot for this final. And to GoodFriend, thanks a lot for his suggestion and strategy on Alchemist.
Q: Maybe a little bit earlier to ask, but what are you going to do during the break of tournament?
A: I have some cutaneous problems recently, so I want to do some cosmetic therapy (laugh). And just stay at home, enjoy meals by my mom. Or get out with my friends. In case that we win tomorrow's fight, I think I will take a good relax.
Q: What's your next goal?
A: Certainly I will fight back to the No.1 on the rank of KeSPA. The victory today is the first step, I must take it again this year.
Q: Some words to your fans?
A: I'm encouraged to see they come here to cheer for me. All of them expected my triumph for a long time, but I disappointed them. During the slump, they still supported me, inspired me. I would have not won this title without ur supporting.
