Soul_Trap defeated PartinG and jjakji to take 5th place in the WCS Korea/Code S, earning a spot at the WCS Season 3 Finals in Canada. The following is ThisIsGame's interview from the post match press conference.
Q: You earned the final ticket to the season finals.
A: I really didn't expect to advance. I lost motivation lately, so I only prepared builds against PartinG and didn't even prepare for the match after that, so it's ironic that I won.
You seemed to want to go the Season Finals in the past?
I've been in a such a tough situation that I even dropped my goal of going to the season finals, so I'm happy that I'll be going to Canada.
Why did you lose your motivation?
Personal problems played a big part. My form dropped after the Ro16, and I was getting very stressed out due to problems beside that. I had given up, but as long as I've advanced, I'll have to do my best to enjoy it.
How did you prepare for your matches with PartinG?
I didn't think of the second series, I just finished up preparing with Dear [for PartinG].
You went for a fast triple-nexus in the first game against jjakji.
I just played all my PvT's by ear. I went for an early zealot in the first game, and it seemed like I could fit in a fast third.
You made a lot of mistakes in the third game against jjakji.
It's a problem that comes up in practice, and it came up in the third game as well. It was also an issue when I played against PartinG. My form in the third game was my form when things aren't working out.
When did you know you had earned a spot at the Season Finals?
When I dropped my high templars in the fourth game, I thought that I had won.
You'll be going to Canada alongside Dear.
In the end, I'm happy we're both going. I'm lucky to be going, so I hope I can play good games before I return.
Any final comments?
I'm really thankful to my fans for cheering me on. They even gifted me some side dishes for meals and I'm enjoying eating them. I will try to focus as hard as possible during my games at the season finals, but I will also try to enjoy them..
