Didn't think the other 3 will be that interesting, so I just decided to translate this. As much as I hate ZerO... -___-

ZerO: "I am the 'Young Prince' so I love the 'Queen'."
"I didn't want to play a boring macro game, so I went for queens."


[image loading]


- You advanced into the Round of 8 by going 3-0.
▲ I am happy that I advanced 3-0, as what I said in the group selection stage, and I am even happier than I used a new strategy to win.

- You won by using the Queen's Spawn Broodling ability.
▲ The map is made such that it's difficult to break through when your opponent's units are on the ridge. That is why I didn't want to play a boring macro game. To avoid that, I was thinking of different methods before thinking about the Queen's 'Spawn Broodling' ability.

- You have been using the Queen a lot.
▲ I am nicknamed 'Young Prince', and I think that is why I love the 'Queen' more.

- The Queen is a tough unit to micro, so it is not easy to use.
▲ During practice I had to target the high templars, but they are so small that sometimes I miss clicking them. I was slightly nervous too today, so I didn't utilize the ability fully. I was supposed to completely destroy his main army after killing his high templars but I wasn't able to do that.

- Bisu's resistance was strong.
▲ In practice, after I used the 'spawn broodling' ability, the games ended there. But as expected of Bisu, he was different. Luckily, I was able to push all the way with my second attack so I was rather fortunate.

- You hid your queens all the way until the end.
▲ If the opponent knows and attacks before my queen's mana is full, there'll be a period where I'm in danger. It is best to hide your queens' existence until the end.

- Weren't the practice matches tough?
▲ Both Proleague and OSL use the same map so I was wondering when I should use this build. After thinking hard, I felt that I had to use this against the strongest Protoss, Bisu.

- You have been performing stylishly in the OSL.
▲ I can't deny that I'm unaware of it. In the previous OSL, I used the queen twice, so I felt that I had to use the queen again.

- You are being picked as the strongest Royal Roader candidate.
▲ I think it's still too early to talk about that. I have to at least get into the semifinals to talk about being a Royal Roader.

- You did not play in Proleague today.
▲ It was a great help. I wasn't in the entry today so I was able to focus more in my individual league. I am thankful towards my coaching staff.

- Any final words?
▲ Crazy-Hydra made his debut today but he lost, so I hope he quickly wins the next time. Also, Free hyung lost twice today so he's been feeling very down. I hope, as our team's ace player, he cheers up soon.

I always had a feeling Zero hated standard games. In his game against Hwasin, it was kind of as if he couldn't wait for his advantage to pile on enough to infest the command center. Nice to see a progamer who actually wants to play in an enjoyable way rather than just as a robot.

Will be rooting for Stork. But if he's eliminated, I'll definitely be rooting for Zero as the royal roader.

Thanks for the interview Konadora. Haha, he cant even hide the smirk on his face " I humiliated the best Toss in the world using Queens." I love Zero, he has become the most entertaining Zerg this season, he will win OSL if he doesnt run into JD or Leta in a bo5.

I dunno about Bisu in a Bo5, but he can certainly beat fantasy in a Bo5. One of my favorite Zero games was when he took apart fantasy on Colo2.
Zero fighting.

As for Bisu, the map pool is fairly zerg favored in ZvP. And if you think that doesn't matter, just look at how Fantasy defeated Bisu in the last OSL, and how Luxury dismantled Jangbi in the MSL.

I think a Zero vs Fantasy would be awesome, as both are known to be very good at strategies. But ZvT is Zero's best matchup.

I really like ZerO and I hope he continues to improve. His style is very fresh in a bw scene that has been stagnating a little, at least strategically, ever since focus shifted onto strong mechanics and macro. Also I just like zerg players for some reason Q(^_^Q)
