With today's victory, you've returned to Code S.
The games went like I expected them to but they ended much quicker than I had anticipated so I am still dazed right now.
Game one ended rather quickly.
I figured my opponent was going to 15 pool so I 9 pooled. I forced him to sustain so much damage early on that it was impossible for me to lose the game.
In game two, you showed a roach/hydra composition.
I know that Sirius likes to delay getting additional expansions and likes to go for a really big attack with a big army. That's why I went for a roach/hydra composition.
You must be prepared to face the fact that the next Code S could be the final WoL one.
I've fell out of the Ro32 twice now. This time, I absolutely don't want to let that happen.
Anyone you would like to face in Code S?
I want to face the four players who originally eliminated me from Code S and beat them.
Anything else you would like to say?
I want to thank my family and my relatives for cheering me on, and also thank my coach, partner MYM, and sponsors GOMTV, RAZER, and Lotte.

Your first ever Code S appearance.
My opponent was really good this time so I practiced a lot. I got really nervous but I was able to win like this so I'm glad.
How nervous did you get exactly?
After I won my first game, my hands started shaking. But I cleared my mind and readied myself for game two.
You blocked Seed's immortal attack in game one and took the victory.
I was able to grab my expansion faster than he did and I didn't needlessly lose my army so I was able to grab the advantage in that area.
You sustained damage in the beginning but your persistence lived on and you grabbed game two as well.
I have five Protoss teammates so I practice mirror match ups quite often. Because I played so many mirror matches, the experience helped me out today.
How did you prepare for your match against Seed?
I worried over the builds a lot. In order to gain confidence, I prepared mostly through formal build orders.
Disappointingly, you weren't able to make the MvP playoffs.
We're all pretty much the same, but once in a while I would encounter a foreigner who used an unorthodox build. That would fluster me a bit. I suffered a lot of losses in the beginning so I wasn't able to make the playoffs. It was really disappointing. If I get a chance next time, I definitely want to grab it.
Any match that you specifically remember?
I remember my game against MC where I made a ton of mistakes. After I lost that match, I lost a lot of my other matches as well.
Anyone you want to face or avoid in Code S?
Everyone is really good so I don't really have anyone I want to face or avoid.
Any goals for this season?
I don't really have a specific goal. I want to do my best for each and every match and if possible, aim for the championship.
Anything else you would like to say?
While preparing for today's match up, I received multiple amounts of help from my Protoss teammates. I am so grateful that they practiced so diligently with me without getting frustrated. I want to thank my fans and parents for cheering me on and my manager for coming with me today.

Your first ever Code S appearance.
I lost my second game so I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to make it to Code S. But I won my third game and was able to advance like this so I am so glad.
In game one, you blocked Happy's banshee play and then responded with a timing attack.
It wasn't a planned out build. I just saw his banshees through a scan and was able to block it pretty easily.
But game two was a totally dominated loss.
I was originally preparing a different build but I saw that he had three gases with my scout. So I went for a needless all in.
Was the proxy build you showed us in game three a planned out strategy?
I was originally intending to play a long macro game. But a lot of my confidence started diminishing as I got ready for my match earlier today. That's why I decided to just see who the victor would be.
How did you prepare for today's match?
I heard that he was good at mirror matches so I figured I couldn't win through just somewhat of a preparation. I felt like I had hit a wall while I was practicing with a certain someone earlier today. I decided that macro games weren't going to cut it so I decided to go for all ins.
Anyone you would like to face or avoid in Code S?
I don't really have anyone I want to avoid or face but I do want to avoid playing mirror matches. I've played too many of them lately and personally they're really difficult so I want to just avoid them.
Any goals this season?
Originally, getting to Code S was my goal. But since I made it like this I want to go all the way to the Ro8 and secure my spot for next season as well.
Anything else you would like to say?
Since I was able to make it Code S like this, I am going to work even harder so I cans show games worthy of the Code S level.

Six seasons in a row you've made it to Code S. How do you feel?
I lost a lot of my practice games today so I thought today's match was going to be difficult but I think it went well. I think I was able to win through improvisations so I'm even happier.
Overall, today's match focused on the flow of the engagements. Did you plan this?
My build orders were improvised but my engagements were done like I normally do.
You probably didn't have a lot of resources about Trap so preparing for him must have been difficult.
I watched his most recent four games in hopes of finding at least the smallest habits possible. I told myself not to think that I was lacking in resources and instead just told myself to make best with what I've got and dissect it well.
The next Code S could be final WoL one. How do you feel about that?
Aside from my first two appearances, I've fallen from the Ro32 for the rest. Getting to Code S no longer holds a deep meaning for me. Winning one championship would probably make me happier than getting in to Code S five times in a row. Since I won last season's GSTL, I want to win this season's GSL and GSTL. This could be the last seasons so I want to do my absolute best.
Anyone you want to get revenge on for the next season?
Polt and Symbol. I have painful memories where they grabbed comeback victories against me so I want to get revenge for that.
You stated that winning the championship was your goal but what is your biggest obstacle?
The Ro32 is my biggest obstacle. I have confidence after that round. The beginning is always an obstacle.
Anything else you would like to say?
I want to thank my parents and wish my little brother the best of luck since he has exams coming up. I want to thank sponsors FXO, RAZER, and Twitch.tv. Lastly, I want to thank our coach for always caring for us so well that we can focus on the game.

Sad for Seed, he was the best Protoss last season.
