“Even during Chuseok, I did not rest and practiced hard”
Source: thisisgame
Dear was the first to reach the Ro8.
Dear (of team SouL) defeated DongRaeGu (of team MVP) and Sleep (of team AZUBU) in Group A of the Ro16 of WCS KR Season 3 Premier League, held in the GOMTV studios in Gangnam, to progress to the Ro8.
You were the first to make it to the Ro8. How do you feel?
I really practiced hard. I’m really happy that I made it through to the Round of 8 like this.
Other than yourself, everyone in your group was a Zerg.
I’ve been having a lot of problems with Zergs. However, I knew that I would have to face them eventually, so I concentrated on the matchup in practice. Even though the practice wasn’t easy, I think the fact that I practiced hard through a holiday was a big factor in this result.
Did you anticipate that you would make it out?
Although other players rested during Chuseok, I practiced instead. Trap and Parting helped me with my PvZ practice, and that made it easier than I thought it would be.
In your match with Sleep, you showed us a Nexus in the opponents main as a ceremony.
I have no feelings about Sleep as an individual. I haven’t done a ceremony through my play so far, and I did it with the purpose of showing one.
I’m curious about your goals for this season.
Of course, my goal is to win.
Who do you want your next opponent to be?
I’m facing the second place finisher of Group B, but everyone in Group B is a friend. It’s hard to pick a player, so I just want somebody good to advance (laughter)
The Ro8 will be in a BoX format. Are you confident?
Usually I look at the situation and improvise a build as I go. I also enjoy planning builds, so I think a BoX will be fun, and I feel confident.
Anything else you’d like to add?
I caught a cold over Chuseok, so I wasn’t in great condition, but because of my good luck I was able to win. Because it was Chuseok, it wasn’t easy to practice, but I had a lot of help from acquaintances. I’d like to thank Check, Revival, Phoenix (? Not sure about this one, I couldn’t find who Kim Myung Joo was), hyvaa, SSanaEE as well as special thanks to Parting and Trap for helping me as if it were their own match.
