[Winner's Interview] N Oh My Dog vs Prime.WE

by unknown · 2012-07-28
Interviewer: Hello Hongun , congratulations on the strong showing today!

Hongun : Thank you very much, I'm very happy to be here.


Interviewer: Why don't you introduce yourself?

Hongun : Hello everyone, I'm Po Bum Gun, aka HongUn, and I play for team Prime.WE.

Interviewer: You took three wins in a row against N Oh My Dog to close out the set-how was that experience?

Hongun : Well, the first game wasn't all that difficult. I saw that I had better micro than dIvert after our first engagement and decided that as long as I could keep up with him in economy I couldn't lose. In the second game, chIle lost all of his zerglings to my zealot pressure, and after that he couldn't stop me from taking the game. The third game was slightly more difficult than the first two, as I was getting tired, but I was able to outmicro lenten and take an advantage into the midgame to close out the set for our team.

Interviewer: How did you prepare for these games?

Hongun : It was actually a little difficult to prepare because our team is fairly new. We haven't yet established many practice partners from other teams, and we lack Zergs, so my confidence in my PvZ was a little lacking. I had to prepare mostly by playing on UMS maps and on battle.net. I was not very confident in my ability to finish the set for my team but my micro turned out to be just good enough.

Interviewer: You say that your team lacks Zerg players and has had difficulty arranging practice partners-how quickly do you think this will change?

Hongun : Well, practice partners only come about as our team develops more, so that will be a little difficult. However, our team's manager has informed us that he is looking for a larger teamhouse and has a lot of players that he is looking to add to our team, which will be an immense benefit.

Interviewer: By.Rain is the only other player on team Prime.WE to have won a game, and his win came in this set-is this a source of frustration for you guys?

Hongun : I would say that it is disappointing but not frustrating. We are a brand new team formed by the merging of two clans, and we have just started out in competitive play-to have won our first match so soon is a bonus, not a necessity.

Interviewer: Maka was deployed as the team ace in your first match, but you took over in the second and third matches-and Maka hasn't been played since.

Hongun : Our coach has a lot of faith in the abilities of myself, By.Rain , BitByBit , and HerO_V_ . Unfortunately, Maka had an issue with his mindset following his first televised game, and by vote of players he was reduced to a practice partner.

Interviewer: Well, we are pretty much out of time for this interview-any last shoutouts?

Hongun : I would like to thank our coach for having confidence in me, and tell Daisy and BitByBit to not take their losses too hard because they have a long career in front of them. Also, thanks to all the fans that are cheering us on-we will fight not to let you down, and I hope to appear here again!
