CJ Zergs FTW!

Effort, "I'm very happy I won all the games I prepared for"
I built the hatchery in order to block vulture harass"

[image loading]


Your feelings on achieving 2 wins in a day?
- A while ago I also earned 2 wins in a day and after a long time I’ve finally achieved it again. Though I feel a bit dazed, because the team won and I also won all the games I prepared for, I’m very happy.

Preparing for 2 games probably wasn’t easy.
- To be honest up until yesterday evening, I placed the first set on Outsider as my 1st priority as I prepared. My practice for the Heartbreak Ridge wasn’t as solid as I would’ve liked. I just believed my other teammates would win so it wouldn’t be necessary. However, I ended up having to play the ace match so I became a bit nervous. I pretty much anticipated Flash would come out for that match.

In the 1st set, in the early game your 9 drone zergling rush was very effective.
- My opponent’s scout arrived early so I guessed he would be poor. I knew if I just killed even a few of his SCV’s I would be at an advantage, and once I attacked Forgg seemed taken aback so I was able to do more damage than I originally thought.

It seems you’ve caught a cold – didn’t that make practice difficult?
- Recently we moved and maybe it’s because it’s a new house, but I still haven’t adapted to it yet. Though my health wasn’t that great, at the gaming center my game played out smoothly and I was in high spirits. The new team house is nice too (laughs).

During the ace match, you suffered a bit due to Flash’s vulture drop play.
- Though I didn’t get to scout his nat, because the vulture drop happened so quickly, I knew he was late in expanding. So I became more determined and told myself to defend as best as I could.

Because of the location of the hatchery at the entrance, lurkers and ultralisks weren’t able to get by.
- Playing along with my opponent’s mechanic play, I intentionally placed my hatchery there. However, he went bionic. Because I didn’t get to practice a lot, from the start my game play wasn’t smooth. I decided to place the hatchery there anyway to block vulture harass (laughs). I didn’t really think about the situations that would come afterwards. I forgot and made ultralisks in my main, and in the end I had to destroy the hatchery at the entrance.

What was the deciding point of the ace match?
- Once I got defilers and secured my 7 o clock expo, I believed I was at an advantage. Though I was a bit uneasy because I had a large army I didn’t worry too much.

What was the motivation that helped you secure 2 wins in a day?
- I practiced very hard, and my coach as well as coaching staff also gave me a lot of advice. Above all, I thought of my constantly encouraging fans and my family who is watching from home, and worked even harder. It was because of all of these I was able to win. My teammates also helped me a lot in practice and encouraged me a lot.

Your plans on how you intend to prepare in the future?
- I will work harder so that I can win every game I play in the proleague. I also want to show great performances in the individual leagues.

Last words you want to say?
- There are so many players that helped me during practice. I want to say thank you to them.

Original Korean Interview:
+ Show Spoiler +

- 하루 2승을 기록했는데, 소감은
▲ 예전에 하루 2승을 해봤는데 오랜만에 다시 2승을 하게 됐다. 얼떨떨하지만 팀도 이기고 나도 준비했던 경기를 모두 잡아내서 기분이 좋다.

- 두 경기를 준비하는 것이 쉽지 않았을 것 같은데
▲ 사실 어제 저녁까지만 해도 일단 1세트 아웃사이더 위주로 경기를 준비했다. 단장의능선은 전에 준비했던 것을 토대로 많이 준비를 하지 못했다. 다른 팀원들이 이겨줄 것이라고 믿었다. 그런데 에이스결정전이 성사되어서 살짝 긴장을 했다. 에이스결정전은 거의 이영호 선수가 나올 것이라고 예상을 했다.

- 1세트에서 초반 9드론 저글링 러시로 큰 성과를 거뒀다
▲ 상대가 정찰을 빨리오셔서 다소 가난할 것이라고 판단했다. 조금이라도 SCV를 줄여주면 내가 유리할 것으로 판단하고 공격을 했는데 박지수 선수가 당황하셔서 의외로 큰 피해를 받은 것 같다.

- 감기에 걸린 것 같은데 연습하기 어렵지는 않았나
▲ 이번에 이사를 했는데 새집이라서 그런지 약간 적응이 안되는 부분이 있다. 몸상태는 썩 좋지 않았는데 경기장에서는 게임도 더 잘되고 분위기도 잘 탄다. 새 숙소는 좋다(웃음).

- 에이스결정전에서 이영호의 벌처 드롭에 고생하기도 했는데
▲ 상대 앞마당 정찰을 못해서 벌처 드롭이 빨리 오길래 앞마당이 늦은 줄 알았다. 그래서 최대한 잘 막고 경기를 하자는 마음을 먹었다.

- 입구 해처리의 위치 때문에 러커, 울트라리스크 등이 지나다니지 못하더라
▲ 상대의 메카닉을 노리고 의도적으로 해처리를 그렇게 지었다. 그런데 바이오닉을 하시더라. 연습을 많이 못해서 초반부터 매끄럽지 못했다. 일단은 벌처 난입만 막자는 생각으로 해처리를 건설했다(웃음). 그 이후의 상황까지는 생각하지 못했다. 깜빡하고 본진에서 울트라리스크를 생산했는데, 결국 입구 해처리를 파괴했다.

- 에이스결정전의 승부처는 어디였나
▲ 디파일러를 생산하고 7시 멀티를 지키면서 유리하다고 생각했다. 조마조마했지만 내가 병력이 워낙 많아서 큰 걱정은 하지 않았다.

- 하루 2승을 할 수 있었던 원동력은 무엇인가
▲ 열심히 연습도 했고, 감독님과 코치님이 조언도 많이 해주셨다. 무엇보다 응원해주시는 팬들과 집에서 보고 계시는 가족들을 생각하며 열심히 노력했다. 그 덕에 이길 수 있었다. 동료들도 연습을 많이 도와줬고 격려도 많이 해줬다.

- 앞으로의 각오와 계획은 어떻게 되는지
▲ 더 열심히해서 출전하는 프로리그에서 모두 이길 수 있도록 노력하겠다. 개인리그에서도 좋은 모습을 보여주고 싶다.

- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 연습을 도와준 선수들이 굉장히 많다. 고맙다는 말을 전하고 싶다.





Kwanro, "Mutalisk battles are just like that"
"I can't pinpoint why it turned out that way"

[image loading]


Your feelings on winning rather easily?
- I’m happy I won. Luxury attacked and all I did was defend but I ended up winning.

It seemed you were calmly preparing for Luxury’s attack.
The way the map is said up, because the space between spawning locations isn’t that far it’s not strange to end up fighting at any one point of the game. Because of this I was continually preparing.

In the mutalisk battle, you came out victorious.
- I really hoped that would happen. Because it worked out that way I thought it was a relief.

What do you think was the reason you were able to win in the mutalisk battle?
- I’m not sure myself. Mutalisk battles are just like that. I honestly can’t pinpoint why it turned out that way.

Today Effort achieved 2 wins in a day – as a player who has been a progamer longer, what do you think of that?
- I’m happy that our team won. Effort’s game play today was also very good. I felt a bit bad for him when he was being harassed but beyond that he was excellent.

Recently it seems you're doing better in the proleague.
- It feels like my matches are just playing out well. Whether it’s Survivor or the proleague, I believe if I just prepare hard enough I’ll do well.

Are you happy CJ defeated KTF with zergs alone?
- If I say that I think the other race players will be upset. I’m just happy we won.

Last words you want to say?
- I want to say thank you to my teammates who helped me practice.

- 손쉽게 승리를 거뒀는데, 소감은?
▲ 이겨서 기분이 좋다. 그냥 박찬수 선수가 공격을 오시길래 막은 것 밖에 없었는데 이겼다.

- 박찬수의 공격에 침착하게 대비하던데
▲ 맵 자체가 언제 싸워도 이상하지 않을 정도로 공중 거리가 가깝다. 그래서 계속 대비를 하고 있었다.

- 뮤탈리스크 싸움에서 큰 승리를 거뒀는데
▲ 그렇게 됐으면 좋겠다고 생각은 했다. 그렇게 되어서 다행이라고 생각한다.

- 공중전에서 압승을 거둘 수 있었던 이유는 무엇인가
▲ 나도 잘 모르겠다. 뮤탈리스크 싸움이 원래 그런 것이다. 하지만 딱히 왜 그렇게 됐는지는 모르겠다.

- 오늘 김정우가 하루 2승을 해냈는데, 선배의 입장에서 어떻게 생각하나
▲ 팀이 이겨서 기분이 좋다. (김)정우의 오늘 경기력도 좋았다. 견제를 당할 때는 안쓰러웠지만 그 외에는 모두 훌륭했다.

- 최근 프로리그에서 서서히 상승세를 타고 있는 것 같은데
▲ 경기가 잘 되는 것 같다. 서바이버도 프로리그도 모두 자신있게 준비하면 잘 할 수 있을 것이라고 믿는다.

- 오늘 저그들만의 활약으로 KTF를 제압해서 기쁘지는 않은가
▲ 그렇게 이야기하면 타종족 선수들이 서운해 할 것 같다. 승리를 해서 기분이 좋다.

- 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있다면
▲ 연습을 도와준 팀원들에게 고맙다는 말을 전하고 싶다.

Kwanro is amazing. He doesn't even know why he won.

I find it funny how a pro can say he "doesn't know how he won" in the match-up with the smallest amount of variables.
No I'm never serious.
