After a few days break of GSL due to Blizzcon it's finally time to get the action started once again. One of the only two foreigners still left in the tournaments IdrA, got interviewed by his team EG about todays match.
How do you feel going into your match against oGsGon?
I feel very confident. No match is ever a sure thing, but I feel I have a very good chance to win.
Have you faced him before in the ladder and what can you tell us about his style?
Yes, though not for some time. When I met him regularly on the ladder he was pure reaper abuse and failed miserably if he couldn't win off of it. As such, I don't really know how he'll play now, but it doesn't worry me much either way.
With the new 1.2 patch how do you feel about your ZvT going into this match?
Excellent. I feel the matchup is reasonably balanced now, but zerg's early game is much more robust. This means that 9 times out of 10 if a Terran wants to beat a Zerg, he has to outplay him in the long game, which plays to my strengths. ZvT's by far my best matchup right now, I feel very good in it.
oGs is considered to be one of the best Korean Starcraft 2 team. What do you think you're chances are going up against a player of a high caliber such as oGsGon?
Gon isn't really a high caliber player, though the fact that he is on oGs worries me a bit because they always help their players prepare well for their matches. Spunky will see this is a free opportunity to try to knock me out and send Gon in with weird abusive builds designed to take percentages against me.
