[Interview] Up/Down Group A Winners

How do you feel about your first ever debut in Korea?

I'm a badass bro. I'm the alpha and the omega. I'm the motha flipping juggernaut. I'm the foreign dictator bitch. I'm a jive turkey sucking bad brotha from anotha motha. 'Nuff said son.. 'nuff said

How do you feel about your first ever Code S qualification?

I feel really good. After winning my first two games I realized that my chance to enter in to Code S got higher so I got excited. I think this tournament meant a lot to not only me, but to the foreign fans as well.

You got your first ever seed for the Up/Downs.

GSL was a tournament I really wanted to try out so I thought to myself "this was finally my shot". I tol myself that I had to show a great performance.

How did you feel after seeing who was in you group?

After seeing who was in my group, I thought that it was going to be a difficult road. I've been losing a lot in my practices recently so I was really worried but luck was on my side today so I was able to make it.

What was the most tiring or memorable game today?

All my games were tiring. Against KeeN, it was a base race and not a normal game so I will remember it, and I made a comeback in game two so it was riveting. I lost so miserably in game three so it was a real shame.

With Bomber's win, you went up to Code S without any need for re-games.

I want to let him know that I'm really grateful. I was in a situation where if Bomber won I was going to advance, so I was praying and my prayer worked. If I get the chance to I would really like to repay Bomber back (laughs).

If you wanted to introduce your style of play to the Korean fans?

Regarding PvZs and PvTs, I tend to play a defensive style. Regarding PvPs, I'm the exact opposite and play aggressive. I tend to play long macro games while playing patiently as I wait for my opponent to make a mistake.

Is there anyone you would like to face in Code S?

During DreamHack, MC joked that I would never be able to defeat him. So in order to get my revenge, I want to face him at least once.

How do you practice usually?

In Europe, I would play with my friends and the famous European players, in Korea I would practice through ladder. But I think starting from today, I could start practicing with the Korean pros.

What are your goals for this season?

Just like any other player, my goal is to win the championship. But realistically, that is going to be really difficult so just remaining in Code S will be my goal. Since I'm having such a great time in Korea, I want to remain in Korea if I can get permission for it.

Anything else you would like to say?

I would like tor request from my fans that they cheer a lot for me. I want to thank our sponsors Medion, RAZER, mousesports, CardCoaches, GEIL, Intel, and THORTECH.
