Leta, "I'm putting everything on the line for this Starleague"
"I believe this will be a crucial point in my progaming career"

[image loading]


You are advancing to the round of 16.
- Recently after the ‘PPP’ incident I’ve been losing too much and slacking. My parents were also worried but with this qualification I want to tell them they don’t have to worry.

After the ‘PPP’ incident, you must have suffered a lot.
- I practiced really hard for that match and the fact that I wasn’t able to properly display what I had prepared was extremely disappointing. So at the time, it was pretty crushing. I tried to erase the incident right away but the memory would resurface before I went to sleep. Though for the most part I was okay, before I went to sleep I would think about it every once in a while (laughs).

Did you know that Thezerg would advance to the second set?
- Because Geumchi won the first match in the first set, I thought to myself Geumchi could advance but when Thezerg advanced I was a bit taken aback. I didn’t get to practice my zerg play that much and personally, I’m more confident against protoss.

The maps are being assessed as favorable for zerg.
- With the map’s geography, it’s easy to get harassed by mutalisks so I think that’s why it’s hard for terran.

How was today’s match?
- I prepared a build thinking my opponent would take his nat first but rather then play defensively, Thezerg had an aggressive build so I believe I lost in build order. In the second set there were so many mutalisks so I was worried I would be in danger. In the third set I also thought Thezerg would rush all in so I prepared a 2 port build again. I predicted he would prepare a build for a double cc build so I wanted to counter that.

It seems you really like using 2 starports.
- If you start with 2 starports, you can make your opponent poor, and you can also adjust to your opponent in many different ways. I think that zerg players are still unable to properly deal with it.

Your thoughts on your goal for this Starleague.
- For this Starleague, I want to put everything on the line. For some reason I feel like this will be a crucial point of my progaming career, so I want to make it through well and become an even greater player.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +
- 16강 진출에 성공했는데
▲ 최근에 ‘PPP 사건’ 이후에 너무 많이 지고 부진했던 것 같다. 부모님도 걱정하셨는데 이번 진출을 계기로 걱정하지 않으셔도 된다고 말씀 드리고 싶다.

- ‘PPP 사건’ 이후로 마음 고생도 했을 것 같은데
▲ 그 경기를 굉장히 많이 연습했는데 제대로 보여 드리지 못했다는 점이 너무 아쉬웠다. 그래서 당시에는 타격이 좀 있기도 했다. 바로 잊으려고 노력했는데 자기 전에 계속 생각이 났다. 평상시에는 괜찮은데 잠들기 전에 한 번씩 생각이 나더라.(웃음)

- 2경기에 정영철이 올라올 줄 알았나
▲ 첫 판을 김승현 선수가 이겨서 김승현 선수가 올라오지 않을까 생각했는데 정영철 선수가 올라와서 약간 꺼려졌다. 저그전 연습을 많이 못하기도 했고 개인적으로 프로토스전에 더 자신 있었기 때문이다.

- 맵들이 저그에게 좋다는 평가가 있는데
▲ 맵 지형이 뮤탈리스크 견제에 당하기가 너무 쉬워서 테란이 조금 힘든 것 같다.

- 오늘 경기 어땠나
▲ 상대가 앞마당 먼저 하는 걸 노린 빌드였는데 정영철 선수가 수비적이 아닌 공격적인 빌드라서 빌드상 맞춤을 당한 것 같다. 2세트에서는 뮤탈리스크가 너무 많아서 위험한 상황이 올까 봐 걱정을 많이 했다. 3세트에서도 정영철 선수가 올인 러시를 할 것 같아서 다시 2스타포트를 준비했다. 더블 커맨드를 겨냥한 빌드를 쓸 거라 예상하고 그걸 역으로 이용하고 싶었다.

- 2스타포트를 굉장히 좋아하는 것 같다
▲ 2스타포트로 시작하면 상대를 가난하게 만들 수도 있고 맞춰갈 수 있는 여러 가지 장점이 있다. 저그 선수들이 아직까지 제대로 대처를 하기는 힘든 것 같다.

- 이번 스타리그에 대한 목표와 각오
▲ 이번 스타리그에는 나의 모든 것을 걸고 싶다. 프로게이머 인생에서 이번이 왠지 고비가 될 것 같은데 잘 넘겨서 더 멋진 선수가 되고 싶다.

We were there last night and I have to say I laughed so hard when Leta's 'hoshit' face came on after his first set against TheZerg. I'm glad he made it through though because it's always interesting to watch him play (despite his slightly scary love of wraiths lol.)

Thanks Smix! WB!

For some reason I just can't get enough of watching wraith micro o.o so the popularity of 2-port wrath is great imo!

Thanks Smix!

I think it's kind of funny(and awesome) that recently, no one but Leta seems to be able to win with 2port, yet Leta is pretty much invincible with it.

Leta fighting!
