EPT（Zest did not retire, but suspended his progamer career to serve in the military）
EnChant: the interview officially begins. First of all, say hello to your Chinese fans!Zest: Hello, Chinese friends! When I participated in the tournament in China, everyone always worked hard to cheer for me. That is a good memory for me.Enchant: Well, the first and most concerned question is, is zest still enthusiastic about StarCraft II? Will you return to StarCraft II after you finish your military service?
Zest:It remains to be seen what happened at that time. If the Starcraft 2 tournament is well maintained, I am positive.
Enchant: second question, from IEM katowitz to now, your performance has been not good, but you just won the GSL super tournament before IEM. What happened in the process?
Zest: It seems that there were personal circumstances in the family and it was mentally in a state where it was difficult to fully concentrate on the game.
Enchant:Let's take a look at this fan's question, "do you know that Chinese fans call you an artist? Do you like this title? Come on, zest, I hope I can see your wonderful performance in the future." the title of artist is really popular in Chinese communities ha ha.
Zest: Of course I like it because it has a good meaning. Thank you for seeing games as art.
Enchant: let's take a look at the next question: "I want to know which game is the most impressive in zest's mind? If I can sum up my career in oneortwo words, which two words are they?".
Zest: what impressed me most was the seventh game of GSL's first season final in 2014, which was also the last game of bo7. I beat soo and won my first championship.
Enchant:wow that was a long time ago, eight years ago
Zest: That was my first Royal Roader win.
Enchant:I must watch this game haha, so what word would you use to summarize your career?
Zest: Effort.
Enchant: a friend said, "how did the separation happen so suddenly? I didn't prepare at all. I watched the game with my usual mood. Why..."
Zest:It is natural. Because my friends the same age as me started their military service earlier.(expression: breaking tears into laughter, bitter tears)
Enchant: Why did you change the ID from P7GAB to Zest
Zest: I was advised to change the ID because it was too scary and provocative.
Enchant: Who specifically suggested you change your ID? I'm curious.
Zest: Korea Esports Association. This is a secret.
Enchant: The next question is "how do you keep your chest muscles?"
Zest: I did push-ups when I was growing up, so I think my chest developed at that time.
Enchant: hahaha, I'm going to do push ups too. Here is a fan who wants to know why your military service can be postponed for so long.
Zest: I have a herniated disc that is worse than it looks. I was able to postpone the army to heal it.
Enchant: Zest created many playing methods during the player period, leading the tactical progress of protoss players. How do you do this?
Zest: You have to think a lot. How to make your opponent difficult.Integrating the play of other players
Enchant: "Please talk about who is the strongest Protoss now. And which Protoss players will be the best in the future? What do you want to say to the protoss players?" This guy ask 3 questions at once
Zest: hero is the strongest player now, but the player to look forward to in the future is MaxPax
Enchant: MaxPax will be the best protoss player in the future?
Zest: He's a young and creative player, so I think he can drive the meta of the future.
Enchant: what do you want to say to Protoss players?
Zest: Follow the hero and maxfax play. Come on.
Enchant: haha, a very practical suggestion. The next question is "what is zest's favorite buid".
Zest: My first void play in 2020
Enchant: some fans said they wanted to ask what zest likes to drink.
Zest: Champagne and beer haha, and soju.
Enchant: fans will always follow your hobbies, such as your live song list, or even the color selection in the game.
Zest: (expression: surprise)
Enchant: Speaking of this, I'm curious. You used to use green in the game. Why did you change it to white later.
Zest: I followed Serral because he did that.
Enchant: hahahaha, people always learn from strong players, even Zest.
Zest: It's a good habit.
Enchant: so how do you evaluate serral? Do you think he is the best player.
Zest: Of course.
Enchant: recognition from zest. Some fans are concerned about whether your injury has improved.
Zest: You will get better with treatment and exercise.
Enchant: Does zest have a girlfriend? Will he marry after his military service like hero, or will he treat StarCraft 2 as his girlfriend like stats?
Zest: This question passes
. ( smiling face)Enchant: hahaha, i think many fans are curious. Let's talk about the balance. How you think the balanced now?
Zest: I think the balance isn't bad right now.If you want to say that a race is strong, at least after it wins the championship, protoss haven't won the championship yet.
And If protoss still can't win the championship, maybe we can consider strengthening it.
Enchant: OK, do you have any regrets about your career?
Zest: I feel sorry for those GSL, IEM and BlizzCon champions I have missed.
Enchant: Did anything interesting happen when you were with other players
Zest: It's not because players these days practice alone at home.
Enchant: Did anything interesting happen in the KT dormitory?
Zest: It was so long ago I can't remember
Enchant: okok, who are the strongest Zerg and Terran in your career? This is the last question.
Zest: Of course Maru and Serral.
Enchant: At the end of the interview, do you have anything else to say to your fans?
Zest: Thank you for supporting and loving me during this time. If the tournament is well maintained, I want to come back and show a good image again.
Enchant: Thank you, zest. This is the end of the interview!
