How do you feel about making it to Code A for the first time?
This was something I had been aiming for ever since two years ago so I am so happy that I finally succeeded.
You beat Sea in the Ro4. How was that match?
The match against Sea was definitely the toughest. Game three was pretty much a lost game for me but I won because I got lucky. He had the superior army but he messed up at the engagement so I won because of that.
What about your match against Classic?
In the finals, I decided to be aggressive for both games. I figured my opponent was going to be nervous so I aimed for that and it ended up working so I won easily.
Since this your first time in Code A, how far do you want to make it?
Since I'm not that good yet, I just want to get past the first round so I can at least make it to Up/Downs.
How has the merge between ST and ZeNEX helped you?
I've learned so much. There are so many good hyungs that I get to learn so many things. Bomber hyung and Hack hyung teach me so much.
Anyone you would like to specifically face in Code A?
I don't really have anyone I want to face and I don't even have a race preference since they're all so similar.
Anything else you would like to say?
I want to thank my teammates for helping me with practice. I also want to thank my parents for constantly helping me out through these past two years.

Tell us how you feel about making it to the second round of Code A?
NesTea is a GSL champion so I was really nervous but I didn't give up till the very end and kept at it so I was able to win.
In game one, you faked a gas build and tried an all in with four barracks but failed.
My marine micro didn't go like it did during my practices. I also got nervous so I messed up my build in the beginning.
In game two, your medivac play shined.
I studied a lot of NesTea's VODs and noticed that he lacks in certain areas, like defending against medivacs. So I figured I would be fine as long as I implement my medivac plays properly.
In game three, it seemed like you were at a significant disadvantage.
I got so nervous that I made a ton of mistakes. I was in a bad situation because I let go of my mouse during the middle. But then my coach came over and told my to keep on doing my best till the very end so I calmed myself and focused again.
What was the driving force behind your comeback in game three?
I think it was my medivacs. I used my medivacs and turned the impossible in to possible.
Your next opponent will be Woongjin Stars' sHy.
All the KeSPA players are really good so I think it's going to be a hard match. But I still have the confidence to win.
What kind of player do you want to become?
A player that is capable of showing flashy and fun games.
What are your goals for this season?
When I got through the preliminaries, I stated in my interview that securing my placement in Code A was my goal. But now that I won today's match, I think I'm going to want to start aiming for Code S now.
You must have prepared extensively for today's debut.
I prepared mostly through VODs. I didn't even go home for ChooSuk and just kept on studying NesTea's VODs as I focused on analyzing NesTea's habits.
Anything else you would like to say?
I want to thank Pet, Hello, Life, and Curious hyung for practicing with me. Lastly, I want to thank our sponsors Red Bull, BenQ, Joy Gear, and ZOWIE Gear.
