Congrats to Hite Sparkyz for their 100th win!

[image loading]


+ Show Spoiler [Interview with Hogil] +

Hogil: "I'm happy that we're on a winning streak."
"I think that we won because we worked hard."


[image loading]


Hite Sparkyz's (Z)HoGiL contributed to helping achieve Lee Myun Geun coach's 100th win by defeating (Z)HoeJJa in the first set of their match against KTF, held today at the Yongsan eSports Indoor Stadium.

The following is the interview with Hogil.

- Your thoughts on your team's 3 match winning streak.
▲ I'm happy that we're on a winning streak. I want to help continue our winning streak so that (our team) will be first and make it into the Grand Finals.

- You helped your coach to achieve the great record of '100 wins'.
▲ Knowing that, I prepared extremely hard. Our coach told us that it will be an important match, so I'm glad that we won and helped our coach achieve his 100th win. I think that we won because we worked hard.

- It seems your daring build early game helped you to take the win.
▲ If we start off with the same build and you choose to build your hatchery at the expansion instead of in the main, then you just need to focus harder on your defense. I played today, thinking that if I manage to defend from my opponent's attacks, I will be able to win.

- Was there any moment that you felt you were in danger?
▲ No, but I think that I have yet to completely adjust to playing on stage. I was unnecessarily nervous, and mismicro-ed, so I am slightly disappointed about that. I think that is something I need to work on as soon as possible.

- When KTF caught up and made it 2:2, did you get worried?
▲ I believed that our team will win, so I did not feel worried at all.

- Do you learn a lot from (Z)YellOw[ArnC]?
▲ We are being of great help to each other by sharing our thoughts and helping each other with practice. We tend to give and take.

- Any final words?
▲ I am thankful towards (Z)type-b and (Z)Clay who helped me with practice.


+ Show Spoiler [Interview with Yellow[Arnc] +

Yellow[Arnc]: "Our team can still make miracles."
"I am happy that I won because I focused hard during practice."


[image loading]


Hite Sparkyz's (Z)YellOw[ArnC] defeated his twin brother (Z)Luxury in the second set of their match against KTF, held today at the Yongsan eSports Indoor Stadium, contributing to his team's win.

The following is the interview with Yellow[Arnc].

- Your thoughts on facing your twin brother and defeating him?
▲ Even before the entries were officially announced, I somewhat anticipated it, but still, when I checked the entries with my own eyes, I was surprised. But after that, I calmed myself down, and today's victory is the result of me focusing hard during practice.

- Your team is now on a 3-match winning streak, and also helped your coach to achieve his 100th win.
▲ I'm happy. Other teams have been stuck at 99 wins (Samsung Khan), but we managed to achieve our 100th win with just one attempt, so I think that we can definitely make it far, and I have a good feeling about this season. Our team can still make miracles.

- You lost to your brother in May last year in the OSL.
▲ We did not practice and faced each other that day, because we were on the same team. At that time, the loser was facing elimination, so it wasn't that good an atmosphere. But I still wanted to win, so I was angry when I lost. But today, we were on different teams, so I played with all my might.

- You decided to go for a macro-based ZvZ.
▲ There were very few instances where both me and my practice partner went 12 hatchery at the expansion. So I got even more nervous. But on the other hand, it was kind of funny that he (Luxury) prepared the same build as me. I think my overall game plan that I prepared helped me to win. The exact details are a secret, but my game plan was much better than my brothers'.

- You decided to play safe even though you were at an advantage.
▲ I have experience in which during practice, I would recklessly attack when I was in the lead, and end up losing. That is why I tried to play as safe as possible today, and I kept thinking "since I am in the lead, as long as I defend well, I will win".

- Did you keep in touch with your brother before the entries were revealed?
▲ Only when I need to borrow money from him, or when I ask him if he is coming home during vacation. But this time, I focused on practice and did not contact him at all.

- Your next opponent is STX Soul's (Z)Modesty.
▲ I did not know much about that player, but I heard that he was strong against Zergs. I will not make myself feel nervous, but instead, I will prepare hard and I plan to teach him as his senior a thing or two about fear.

- Any final words?
▲ I want to say thanks to our team's Zerg players, as well as Samsung Khan's (Z)oDin and Hwaseung's (Z)Jaedong. I also congratulate my coach on his 100th win from the bottom of my heart.


+ Show Spoiler [Interview with Leta] +

Leta: "I need to work hard in order to continue my winning streak."
"Everyone practiced even harder."


[image loading]


Hite Sparkyz's (T)Leta defeated (T)fOrGG in the ace set of their match against KTF, held today at the Yongsan eSports Indoor Stadium, sealing his team's victory and giving his coach the best present - '100 wins'.

The following is the interview with Leta.

- Your thoughts on your team climbing to 4th place after 3 consecutive wins.
▲ Our team's morale is high since we are winning consecutively, and we feel that we can continue winning. I think that we must work even harder so that we can continue our winning streak.

- Today's match had your coach's 100th win title on the line.
▲ Because our coach's 100th win was on the line, our team prepared even harder. It's a pity we lost a few games today, but we won in the end, so we're happy about that. I want to congratulate my coach for his 100th win, and I think he will be really happy. There is a saying that it's hard to get past the 99th win, but we managed to clear that with just one attempt and seal our 100th win, so I am even more happy.

- You were shaken badly by (P)Tempest's dark templars. Why did you lift your barracks?
▲ It's a pity that the dark templars entered my main because I lifted my barracks. I did not know that the dark templars entered my main base at that point of time because of the situation. I think that my initial vultures left to attack too early. I planned to wall-in again and use my reinforcement vultures' spider mines to defend after the attack. But unfortunately, the dark templars came very fast.

- Did you feel pressured when you were sent out for the ace match?
▲ I did feel slightly pressured, but I think that I still have to overcome such pressure. I tried to keep that off my mind and focused hard on the game.

- Any reason for liking to use the dropship often?
▲ I think that by building dropships and moving them around, I will be able to find my opponent's blind spots. I like to find other people's weaknesses, and I have confidence in finding them as well. And if I use the dropship, then I will be able to catch my opponent off guard and even make a comeback.

- You and Flash, who has the most wins, have a 5 win difference.
▲ I think I have to play more games to find out. I plan to slowly catch up and eventually overtake him. The high ranking players are very good, so I need to work hard myself, and I think luck has to be on my side as well.

The discrepancy between practice partners for Hogil and Yarnc is rather wide...

i was wondering how did Yarnc beat Luxury, here we go:

▲ I want to say thanks to our team's Zerg players, as well as Samsung Khan's (Z)oDin and Hwaseung's (Z)Jaedong.

Perhaps Jd was insulted when s1 told him Lux has good ZvZ, and decided to prove him wrong xD

Well it's been widely said that Luxury's ZvZ is almost on-par with Jaedong's.. which I don't really think is. Luxury's ZvZ doesn't impress me as much as Jaedong's ZvZ.
