Movie: "I was waiting to play against a Protoss."
"I will practice hard so that my winning rate will not fall below 50%."
"I will practice hard so that my winning rate will not fall below 50%."
- Your thoughts on your third win this season?
▲ I am happy to have a 50% win rate. I will have to practice hard so that my winning rate will not fall below 50%.
- You boldly cancelled your Stargate.
▲ It was all planned. I wanted to show him my Stargate when he scouted with his Overlord and cancel it afterwards. In my previous games, I built lots of Corsairs, so this was all part of mindgames. I used the resources that could have been spent on Corsairs on Gateways instead and pushed forward my attack timing.
- You went for a Dragoon-heavy attack.
▲ Zergs' simcity are too good nowadays. You can't pressure them with Zealots anymore. That is why I went for Dragoons first.
- Satisfied with your performance today?
▲ It went according to plan. There could have been many other scenarios, but everything turned out well for me.
- The team is now back on its tracks.
▲ We're getting better. We're slowly getting better, and we can continue being so.
- You will be facing Khan's M18M next.
▲ I am still reputed to have bad PvP. That is why, to remove that image, I was waiting to play against another Protoss. My opponent is not Stork or JangBi, but since it's a Protoss, I will definitely win.
- Among the three CJ newcomers (EffOrt-Movie-sKyHigh), Skyhigh is currently in a deep slump.
▲ There were times when I couldn't perform well in the past, and so did EffOrt. Nobody can continue performing well. There will be times like this, so I hope he recovers soon and shows us his former self.
- Any final words?
▲ I am thankful for those who helped me with practice. When I played against Jaedong previously, my semi-pro friend called Kim Min Su taught me this build. In the interview conducted back then I couldn't say it, so I am thanking him today.
Bonjwa: "I was fully aware of Pusan's playing style."
"I want to thank Bisu who helped me with practice."
"I want to thank Bisu who helped me with practice."
The Maestro destroyed "Spirit" Pusan in 2009 on Tornado, the second set of the match between CJ Entus and MBCGame HERO, claiming yet another victim.
- This is your third win this season.
▲ This is only my third win. I lost too many games early in the season, so my winning rate is only 50%. This is now just the start.
- Your match against Pusan has been greatly anticipated by fans, due to it being a battle of the 'olds'.
▲ We're not 'olds' (laugh), but it has been a thousand days or so since we've last played, hence the anticipation. I did make my debut rather early, but compared to the real olds, I'm only a half-oldie. It is because I know both the old players and the new players well, so I'm stuck somewhere in the middle. Players nowadays aren't that friendly with the old players, but I'm friendly with both sides. I think that's good. And I'm definitely not an oldie. (laugh)
- It has been a long time since you last played against Pusan.
▲ I was wondered how much his style may have changed since our last meeting. But his style was still the same. So I was able to play with my mind at ease.
- Your simcity was excellent.
▲ It is basic knowledge among Zerg players to experiment with different simcities. I have practiced simcities for every single position, and my simcity was the key to my winning strategy today. Those who have practiced against this build know that they can't break through the simcity, so they do not attempt to break through it. In today's case, I was able to defend well, and if I am able to defend against my opponent's simcity break attempt, I will be at an advantage no matter what. I felt that he may attempt to break it once again, so I built Sunken Colonies again.
- You built many Sunkens.
▲ I was fully aware of Pusan's playing style. I knew he was going to attack, despite building so many Sunkens. My concept was "to defend and win points". I controlled the number of Sunkens depending on the situation.
- Your teammate EffOrt's ZvT is impressive lately.
▲ During practice, I am practicing too so I can't see him play. But when I watch his games during broadcast, I think he plays really well (laugh).
- EffOrt lost to a foreigner in IEF. What did you tell him afterwards?
▲ I did not know he lost to Pj. I only knew he lost to a Chinese player. I remember I told him something.. but I can't remember it now (laugh).
- Do you have anything more you wish to say?
▲ Hydra helped me prepare this build. Hence, the preparation went much smoother than expected. He will be playing against Khan, so I will help him with practice and treat him to nice meals as well. Also, I want to thank the Protoss players in my team. They all helped me practice yesterday, and I also practiced with Bisu. I heard it has been many years since Bisu last helped someone outside his team practice. I am really grateful towards him.
EffOrt: "I want to remain in the "Overall No.1 Proleague Wins" club."
"I practiced hard to improve on my Zergling micro."
"I practiced hard to improve on my Zergling micro."
- This is now your 6th win this season.
▲ I am now in the "Overall No.1 Proleague Wins" club. I want to continue remaining in this club. I want to continue winning and claim the title of "Most Number of Proleague Wins".
- Your ZvT is 18W1L in 2009.
▲ Our team's Terrans are strong, so I was able to achieve such results. Luck was also on my side many times.
- What is the key to successful ZvT?
▲ No matter what race you're playing, you have to use the basic units well. In ZvT, I think you can only win if you use Zerglings well. I told myself that I have to use them well. You have to treat them like gold and diamonds (laugh). I just want to use them well.
- Your burrow-lings were effective today.
▲ As long as you are able to do some damage, it isn't a waste to research burrow. Moon Glaive is actually a slightly tough map for Terrans.That is why I wanted to try something new, which led me to research Burrow. You can also use burrow-lings as scouts.
- Halfway through the game, you were pressured heavily by Light's great play.
▲ I accidentally forgot to research Adrenaline Glands (laugh). I heard that Light's mid-late game play is superb, and it really is. I barely managed to win after going for a macro game.
- You did not go for Mutalisks at all.
▲ The Spire was just to trick him and to make him waste money on Missle Turrets. I did not gain much from my first lurker, but I was already in a favorable position, so it did not set me behind that badly. Still, my lurker died too easily, so I didn't feel happy at all.
- You will be playing against Khan's great next.
▲ It is a ZvZ, so I will definitely have to practice hard. I will work hard to win.
- Any final words?
▲ I want to thank those who helped me with practice. My manager and coach always give me good advice before my matches, and it is because of them that I am able to play well in a calm manner. I am also thankful to my fans who continuously support me.
