PianO, when no one expected, suddenly got an All-Kill…
On the 24th, during the Woongjin vs. KTF game,
He successfully defeated Firefist, Flash, Dream.T)Sair, and Luxury
Thoughts after your first All Kill?
-I originally thought I could only get a 2K, so I only prepared the maps for the first two games [laugh] During team practice and ranking games, in the last two games, I’d always use a defensive management strategy. Because my opponents would often do a semi-all-in attack in the early mid-game, it gives me a bigger advantage in the late-game, and allowed me to achieve victory.
On Medusa, you used Vultures and Wraiths combined with an economic macro-based strategy.
-I had wanted to use this strategy on Medusa for a long time, so before today’s games, I asked the coach to let me play. I have a lot of unused strategies that I’m going to start using often in future games.
Did you prepare for a TvT on Sin Chupung-Ryeong?
-I practiced the most on Medusa…about 50 games…Only about 5 games on Chupung-Ryeong, MVP helped me practice.
What did you think when you learned your next opponent would be Flash?
-In mirror matchups, early-game rock-paper-scissors strategies are very important…I practice with Flash a lot, so I wanted to get an early advantage, so I decided with a safer management strategy. Flash didn’t expect my Wraiths, a bit careless by him…
It was obvious you were in a good mindset for game 4 and game 5.
-For the last two games, the mechanics became very natural and smooth…the format helps with warming-up. And plus, now, I’m more used to these live games, and I also knew that there were really strong players left on my team, so I wasn’t nervous about losing going into the games.
In game 5, you displayed strong mechanics and game sense.
-To be honest, ever since I started, I was most confident in my TvZ. The coaches believed in me, but I ended up losing a lot of live games…Before, I wasn’t able to fully realize the potential I have in practice…good thing I was able to display my skill against Zerg today, I’m very happy about that.
Your team has been criticized for having weak Terrans.
-I don’t usually accept interviews, but every time I get interviewed, I get asked this. Personally, I disagree, but I don’t understand why we lose so often in live games. The team is also trying hard to find the source of the problem…even though we’re not there yet, honestly, the team has many very strong Terran players, I believe the issue will eventually become non-existant.
What kind of mindset will you use for future games?
-Our team isn’t one who’ll use a single player constantly because he’s performing well…the most important factor is performance during practices. We have a system to deal with this, so without hard work in practice, you won’t get played. I’ll continue to try harder from now on.
You were very happy after getting the All Kill.
-Yes, happy. Very very very happy…But I was happier back when I won against Oz’s 2v2 team with Dragoon hyung [laugh]
Last thoughts?
-I won’t become arrogant after this All-Kill, and I will continue to try harder to play better games. I like fun, exciting games, so my goal is to continuing preparing in order to exhibit high-leveled games…that’s my style…I will continue with this style, and aim for more victories!
