Interviewer: In a previous interview, you have said Zerg needs a buff, as the winner (of GSL) how do you feel about it now?
Cool: I think it's kind of much to say these kind of things after winning but I had difficulties. I am personally confident against Terran so I say (TvZ) is playable but against a Protoss I think it's really difficult.
I think the reason I made it to the final was because I had a lot of Terran opponents.
Full Interview
+ Show Spoiler +
-First I want to congratulate on your win. This is your first win, could you tell us how you are feeling?
I have never thought I would win. I just practiced like I always do. Since today's final was on a large stage so I enjoyed it. I am happy I won.
-You have joined a team just before the league (GSL), did that help you in anyway?
I think I was well nourished. *laughs* Usually I get stressed easily so to get rid of the stress I eat a lot. <Think implying the team gave him a lot to eat>
-I heard you prepared a special strategy for Desert Oasis
I tried to use Hydralisks. Because Hopetorture was in a prepared state and tried drop consistently, overall, things did not go my way during the game
-Why do you think you lost the 4th match?
I could not stop my opponent's map control. Also I personally dislike large maps so I think it coincided with an unfavorable condition.

-In 1st, 2nd and 3rd matches (I) thought it was hard to take a fast expasion but you got those expansions with ease (confidently). Was that a hidden strategy?
To be honest I didn't specifically prepare for that strategy.
I just played like I would have done in my practice.
(I have) seen a lot of expansion (strategies) <not 100% sure he means specifically Hopetorture's expansion strategies> so I knew (my) strategy <I'm assuming they are talking about hatch before pool> was already possible.
Even if he was to expand and I take some economic loss, I still felt (thought) I could win. If HopeTorture (the Terran) went fast Marines, I was even more certain I would win.
