Also, from what I've seen on dailyesports, they usually interview the final winner only. This is because new Proleague format brought on-the-spot interviews from all winners except the last one.
Samsung Khan TurN: When I was manner pyloned, I got angry.
TurN doesn’t have a consistent playing style. Usually players find their right play style while preparing for a match; however in TurN’s case, his impromptu/on-the-go strategy that fit to the situation worked well in his match against Stats today. TurN, who started losing more towards last season due to his single, consistent attack pattern, stated “I gained a lot of experience through losing, and I think I’ve become experienced to a point where I can find which strategy fits well during the game itself.” As a result, TurN has a perfect record of 5-0 this season and is walking down the road of ‘Perfect Terran Record’ along with Flash
Q With your win, Khan is now in 1st place
A I’m happy that I helped the team reach the 1st place. Since we became 1st place at the beginning of the 3rd round, I think our team can place 1st in the season if we play consistently well.
Q Did you pick Bio-mech against Stats because you were mad?
A I was in a bad situation, and it got worse as time went by. I scouted late, and I was flustered when I got manner-pyloned twice. After thinking about the situation, I thought that I only had one attack timing. So right on the spot, I changed to Bio-Mech strategy.
Q Did you think Bio-Mech was going to work?
A I had a good feeling
Q What did your coach say after you walked down from the stage?
A She didn’t talk; she just smiled.
Q Was this a prepared strategy?
A When you play a televised match, you never know what’s going to happen. If my opponent plays outside the boundaries of my practice, or does not play to my will, I can’t carry out my prepared strategy. Today was that day. I didn’t practice nor prepare Bio-Mech at all while practicing today’s match on this map (T/N Sniper Ridge). I remember using this strategy few times when I just became a progamer. Thinking about those days when I was a rookie, I carried out the Bio-Mech strategy.
Q You were pylon rushed twice.
A Today, Protoss players do not manner pylon. I was never manner pyloned recently. I remember that Protoss players manner pyloned Terran in the old days. Since I did not expect such play at all, the match didn’t go as planned. I was even mad. Thus I wanted to win the match in that situation, even if it meant improvising a new strategy.
Q You’re 5-0.
A I went 7 game winning streak last season. I was on the rise, but I fell quickly after losing once. I am always confident, but I never expected to have a good pace like the one that I’m having right now.
Q Commentator GoRush stated that your attack style is different from last season. Compared to single attack style that you carried out, GoRush thinks that you have many different patterns. What’s your thoughts?
A Especially when I lost, I realized something when I was playing the matches. I think it’s hard to explain it fully, but I’m learning from my losses.
Q Were any of your teammates mad for your aggressive play style during practice?
A I also play standard a lot. I know how to execute every pattern that most Terran players carry out. Thus my teammates do not get mad. However, when we have in-house ranking tournaments, I play it my way.
Q After your match with KT today, you have 6 matches left. How many times do you expect to win?
A I want to win at least 4 times. If anything, I would want to have a perfect record. However, I think losing once won’t be a big deal.
Q You have a new nickname, ‘Rabid-Dog Terran’
A I think I got the nickname because every cool nicknames were already given away to older progamers. I mean, look at BravE’s nickname ‘Male Toss.’ Then again, I think ‘Rabid-Dog Terran’ is much better compared to ‘Male Toss’. I don’t hate the nickname because it gives me a unique personality. (T/N someone check the last part to make sure I translated that correct; I might have misread something here but nothing pops up into my head atm).
