It’s been a long time since you’ve won in a `closer` game
- When we were up 2:0 I didn’t think I would end up playing, I didn’t think I would have the one win today. I’m trying to enforce a new nickname at the training center, `special fireman`, and what do you know, it quickly became 2:2 tie. My teammates asked me to take out the fire so I did. From now on please call me the `special fireman`. It doesn’t matter who, I will win them all. I will have at least 30 wins on the closer games if given the opportunity.
You’ve been in a slump, it must be hard on you
- During the b-season, I have been attending many event games, I lost most of them. So naturally I was a bit nervous today even though I was well prepared.
How did you prepare yourself during the b-season?
- There were some mental issues I had to deal with. Wishing very much to win and yet no matter how well the practice goes I end up losing on TV often. I thought to myself maybe I need to be a pro gamer for 10 years to fix my problems. I try to control my mind by constantly saying to myself I have to win in TV games, and losing during practice doesn’t really matter.
Do you have good premonitions for this season?
- We have a good start so overall I do feel good about it; however two seasons ago I lost to Stork on the very first game into the season and yet ended up having a very good season. So I thought to myself today that even if I lose I will have a great season, I’m trying to stay positive^^
You did an emotional ceremony today
- I was so happy, I just wanted to run and run. My legs are not feeling well these days and yet when I landed I didn’t feel a thing.
This season’s resolution
- I’ll try to be modest. I have made a goal for myself that I will win all my games. Now that I’m a veteran gamer I need to help out the younger gamers a lot. I really want to become a proper `special fireman`. Just like that Japanese baseball player Im Chang Yong who always finishes well.
Any last words?
- I will be in the lineups every game and win them all, but I didn’t put on a good show for you in the top 36 Star League. In the Pro League I will show you my true self.
