NOTE: This interview went from Eng to Kor back to Eng so it may not be entirely accurate.
How do you feel about bringing your team the victory?
I am so glad that I was able to bring my team the victory with my two wins. Even more important, I was able to snap my ZvZ losing streak. I feel so good because I was able to win in a ZvZ.
In order to end your losing streak with ZvZ, did you come to the studio after much preparation?
I practiced a lot. I prepared with my teammates.
Against Samsung KHAN, you lose against Sola.
Losing to Sola didn't shake me up. When it comes to ZvP and ZvT, I am confident even against the strongest players in the world. However, I know very well that my ZvZs are an issue.
What are your issues with ZvZ?
Even as of now, I have never liked playing ZvZs. Since I dislike the match up, I avoid practicing it. The end result of avoiding practice like that meant that I would often have to face problems like being supply blocked and messing up my timing attacks.
With today's victory, it seems like you'll be showing a different side of from here on out.
I am glad that I was able to take down ZerO who took down Jaedong. I was able to show the people that I was able to win because I practiced.
Were you disappointed by the fact that you couldn't attend IEM Katowice?
I was happy when I got through the qualifiers but I couldn't attend the main tournament so it's true that I was bummed. And then I noticed that of all the players that qualified, around fifteen of them were all Zergs. I hate ZvZs so I think missing out on this tournament wasn't all that bad.
How much did you prepare on Proleague's new maps?
I've played them all. I think Neo Planet S and Neo Arkanoid are good maps. Neo Caldeum and Neo Bifrost have a lot of pathways. When it comes to those two maps, it's imperative that I know of every available pathway whenever I engage in battles so I falter a little bit on the comprehensive part. For Neo Planet S and Neo Arkanoid, I am ready. Send me out.
What kind of role do you want to take on for Proleague?
I just want to win (laughs). I want to become the soul ( PartinG of EG-TL?) of my team.
You have GSL Code S ahead of you.
I am satisfied with my group. I have two Terrans but I am confident in my ZvTs. Although I am worried because my opponents have two weeks to prepare for our match ups as opposed to overseas tournaments where we all have to improvise as we go along. I think the chances of me grabbing the championship are high but realistically, I am looking at the semi finals as my goal.
Anything else you would like to say?
I am sincerely grateful to my team for giving me the opportunity to participate in Proleague. I want to thank our team's manager, our coaching staff, and my teammates for helping me with practice. Lastly, I want to thank our sponsors Raid Call, Monster, Kingston HyperX, and Intel Extreme.Last edit: 2013-01-20 04:46:54 |

Um Red Bull? I'm guessing there was a translator error somewhere. There is no way that he said that. OP might want to remove that because if Monster sees it and doesn't understand it as a translator mistake, it could cause some problems.
He probably said Raidcall but somewhere it got changed to RedbullLast edit: 2013-01-20 04:11:14 |

Stephano plans on making Ro4 GSL? As always, he doesn't lack for confidence! Haha.
It is good that he seems to be more integrated with his team now and also good news that he has been practising his ZvZ and learning the new maps. |

Pretty confident regarding the GSL, but he's capable of achieving his goal if he shows his A/S-game.
Thanks for the interview! |

Maybe the English-to-Korean translator confused RaidCall and Red Bull.
