Noblesse (Advancing with a 4-0 sweep)
‘I put my focus on my matches against protoss.’
- Your thoughts on getting into code S?
I am happy that I finally made it. Although it feels unfair that there was a code A wildcard spot for a round of 16 this time because when I made the round of 16 the last two times there wasn’t anything like that.
- You got through with 4 wins to advance.
I didn’t know that I would do that. The first two matches were against protoss, and I knew that as long as I played well in those, it would be ok. So I mainly focused on preparing for those games but all the games went well.
- Does that mean you are confident in your TvT?
The ladder is full of terrans so if you ladder you don’t really need extra practice against them.
- You were successful in taking your revenge against Tassadar.
Back then since I had already made it to the round of 8 and secured my up and down spot I did not practice as much as I should have. After practicing a bit more for today, it seems like he wasn’t a match for me.
- The hardest match?
I don’t think there was a specific one, but if I had to say, the game against sC was a bit difficult. Because I am good friends with him, even after I won, I felt sorry rather than happy about the win.
- Tomorrow, your teammate Keen will be trying to advance from his up and down group.
I believe that Keen has enough skills to keep his code S spot and DongRaeGu is practicing hard to win at the MLG so I believe he can make it to code S as well.
- Any players you want to face in code S?
I will focus on the players I have in front of me, but for now, I don’t have anyone in particular I want to face.
- Your goal in code S?
I want to keep my spot in code S and eventually take the championship. I want to at least keep my spot, and at most, win the whole thing.
- Any last comments?
I want to thank my team’s Genius, NalZa, finale, Vampire, and StarTale’s Parting for helping me practice. The coach just got a baby daughter yesterday, so I hope that everyone can congratulate him.

▼ 코드S에 승격한 소감은?
- 드디어 올라간 것 같아서 정말 기쁘다. 내가 코드A 16강에 올랐을 땐 없었는데, 이번엔 16강 와일드카드전도 있어서 조금 억울했다.
▼ 4전 전승을 거뒀는데?
- 할 줄 몰랐다. 앞에 두 경기가 프로토스전이었다. 그 두 경기만 이기면 왠지 잘 될 것 같아서 그 경기 위주로 준비했는데, 의외로 잘 됐다.
▼ 테란전은 자신 있다는 소리인가?
- 테란전은 래더하면 거의 다 테란이라 따로 준비할 필요가 없었다.
▼ 김정훈에게 복수를 성공했는데?
- 그 땐 이미 8강에 올라 승강전을 확보한 상태라 연습을 많이 안했었다. 이번엔 좀 더 준비했더니 상대가 안 되시는 것 같다.
▼ 가장 힘들었던 경기는?
- 딱히 없지만 승철이와 경기가 조금 힘들었다. 친한 사이어서 이겨도 이긴 것 같지 않고 좀 미안하다.
▼ 내일 황규석도 승강전을 치르는데?
- 규석이도 충분히 코드S 잔류가 가능할 것 같고, 수호형도 MLG 우승을 위해 열심히 하고 있어서 충분히 코드S를 획득할 수 있을 것 같다.
▼ 코드S에서 붙어보고 싶은 선수는?
- 내 앞의 경기만 신경 써서, 아직 특별히 이기고 싶은 선수는 없다.
▼ 코드S에서의 목표는?
- 코드S에 계속 머무르며 우승을 하는 게 목표다. 최소 잔류, 최대 우승이다.
▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은?
- 연습을 도와준 우리 팀의 정민수, 공원욱, 김경덕, 서성민 선수, 그리고 StarTale의 원이삭 선수에게 감사드린다. 감독님이 어제 딸을 출산하셨는데, 모두 축하해주셨으면 좋겠다.

asd (Advancing with a 3-1 record)
‘I hope Nestea or LosirA will pick me in the group nominations…’
- Your thoughts on making it into code S?
I am happy that I was able to go straight into code S instead of dwelling in code A. I will work even harder in code S so that I can finally get to the finals stage that I have always wanted.
- You must have wanted to advance together with your teammate sC.
sC and I had the very first match. We told each other that whoever won between us would try to go for 4 wins. But I lost my last match so it didn’t go as planned.
- How did you feel after the groups were announced?
Since it is a tournament, there is nothing you can do about it. For my match against sC I didn’t practice anything special but just used my base skills.
- The game against Noblesse must have been disappointing.
I thought that he would be going mech but he ended up going bio which in turn made me work against myself.
- You must be very confident in your TvT.
If anyone went mech, my feeling was that I will win no matter what. But I didn’t get a chance to practice much against bio.
- Were you disappointed to not win code A?
It was disappointing, but I did not want to miss out on the chance at getting through the up and down matches. I have been practicing a lot since then and I believe I got these results because of that.
- You still have not shown us your TvZ.
I hope that either LosirA or NesTea will decide to pick me in their groups in code S.
- Any reasons?
Those two are whom most people consider to be the strongest zergs. I want to beat them during a broadcasted match. I am confident.
- Has anything changed since your team joined FXO?.
We have been practicing a lot with foreign players. Since they are so creative, we still learn a lot from practice. I think we both benefit a lot from playing each other.
- Your teammate Leenock will have his matches tomorrow.
I believe that Leenock will advance no matter what. Also, our team has been preparing nonstop for the upcoming preliminaries so expect good results from our team.
- Any last comments?
Crane and Inori really helped me with practice against protosses. I want to thank them both. sC must be disappointed to fall into code A but I hope he doesn’t lose heart and gets right back into code S the next season.

▼ 코드S에 승격한 소감은?
- 코드A에 잔류하지 않고 코드S로 바로 다이렉트로 와서 기분이 좋다. 코드S에서 더 열심히 해서 내가 바라던 결승 무대에 오르고 싶다.
▼ 김승철과 같이 올라가고 싶었을 텐데?
- 승철이와 내가 첫 경기를 가졌다. 이기는 사람이 4승으로 올라가자고 했는데, 내가 마지막에 져서 계획대로 안 된 것 같다.
▼ 조 편성 직후 기분은?
- 대회니까 어쩔 수 없이 받아들였다. 승철이와의 대결은 연습하지 않고 기본기로 했다.
▼ 채도준과의 경기는 많이 아쉬울 것 같은데?
- 메카닉을 쓸 줄 알았는데 바이오닉을 써서 내 스스로 좀 말린 것 같다.
▼ 테란전에 자신이 있었을 텐데?
- 메카닉 쓰면 무조건 내가 이긴다는 자신이 있었다. 바이오닉 연습을 많이 못했다.
▼ 코드A 우승을 놓친 것이 아쉽진 않았는지?
- 아쉽긴 했는데, 승강전이란 기회가 있으니 기회를 놓치고 싶지 않았다. 그동안 연습을 많이 했다. 괜찮은 결과가 나온 것 같다.
▼ 저그전을 아직 보여주지 못했는데?
- 코드S에서 황강호 선수나 임재덕 선수가 나를 지명해줬으면 좋겠다.
▼ 이유는?
- 저그 중에 가장 잘한다고 생각하는 선수들이다. 방송에서 이겨보고 싶다. 자신 있다.
▼ FXO에 합류하게 된 뒤 달라진 점은?
- 외국 선수들과 연습을 많이 한다. 창의적인 부분이 많아서 배울 것도 많다. 서로 도와줄 수 있는 것이 많다.
▼ 내일 이동녕의 경기가 있는데?
- 동녕이는 무조건 올라와줄 거라 믿고 있다. 또 우리 팀에서 예선 준비를 많이 하고 있어 좋은 결과가 많이 나올 것 같다.
▼ 마지막으로 하고 싶은 말은?
- 김한별, 우민규 형이 프로토스전 연습을 정말 많이 도와줬다. 고맙단 말을 전하고 싶다. 승철이는 아쉽지만 기죽지 말고 다시 S로 올라왔으면 좋겠다.
