Do you visit GosuGamers often? Do you like it? What do you think of our ranking system?
Yes I got there quite often. At least once every 2 days. I like to read the news and stuffs. For the ranking, it's really good already, but it's not accurate enough, a lot of good people dont play showmatches and stuffs so they aren't in the rank. You lose way too much points when u lose to someone, and a lot of the matches are counted, some aren't counted. But overall it's good.
You are ranked #4 right now? Do you think you can do better?
Yes. This week is essential to me, facing Strelok and especially LX, I must get a lot of points from him.
You are facing Strelok in KOTH, do you know his play? Have you played him? How is your training these days, how confident are you in winning?
We know each other quite well, we have played a lot over the internet. I have always been like that, didn't practice much. As long as I perform normally and take the chance, I have 70% of chance to win.
If you defeat Strelok, would you want to play Lx? How confident are you in beating Lx?
He always said "would destroy Sen in KOTH", how can I reject that offer? He is protoss and as long as I perform well, no matter who he is it's always the same to me.
I think he is joking by saying he would destroy you.
Yes I know, I know him quite well so it's normal for him to joke.
You have defeated A2, PJ and White-ra in KOTH. Three victories in a row. Only losing 1 game in all the series, what do you think of these achievements?
It's too long ago since I played A2, forgot everything already. Pj is no longer the Pj I played back then. He just started PvZ by that time. White-Ra had the chance to win 3 games vs me, but he just didn't take them. If you have watched the replay, you would have seen. So I have nothing much to say, I was lucky.
Do you have any specific ambition in the Starcraft scene? For example become a progamer in Korea.
Play in WCG and some other foreign invitational events, that's all. I am still studying now, it's not possible for me to go korea and become progamer.
Not long ago you left ToT and joined MYM, any reason for that?
For the salary. I just want to experience playing games while earning pocket money.
How do you like MYM so far? Do you play with the old friends from ToT?
It's always the same, nothing changed. Just I play less than before. This is because I am little tired of the game. Back then I had much more room for improvement, but not it's getting little and little. I have already achieved whatever I can, only strategy can play a difference in my game now. But of course I still make noobish mistakes, for example when I was playing PJ, I blocked myself into the base so lurkers cannot come out of the base to defend my xpo.
Why did you play on Tau Cross only? That map is not easy to ZvP.
Because I dont play as much as before, so as long as it's not a wierd map, it's all the same to me. For example Sin Peaks of Baekudue, oh god, that's a wierd map.
In GGSL you have Mirelle, Jinro, and Lx in your group, any thoughts on that?
I have no idea who Mirelle and Jinro are. Lx is annoying. A bit too strong, so that' why he is annoying. haha.
If you look at the overall players, what do you think of your chance winning?
Sen: Too many people, not too confident. It really depend on my luck, and I fear Terran more, the rest are the same. ZvT depend on my performance of the game.
PGL second invitation is undergoing, would you go if you are invited? How do you like to play in mainland China?
I dont know, I doubt if I can go. I like to play in mainland China very much, I get to know a lot more players. As long as I play outside Taiwan, I am happy.
What do you think of the issue in WCG they call you "Chinese Taipei", and we here at GosuGamers call you "Taiwan"? When you were in China F91 kind of bullied you about this matter, would you mind that?
I prefer being called as "Taiwan", I am from Taiwan after all. And F91 and me always fooling around and ask me those questions, I didn't really mind but he did put me in some hard situations before. We are Chinese after all. For what will change in the future is in the future.
Do you have any plans after you graduate from school? Would you find some normal jobs to do or stay in e-sport?
I am not sure.
Then do you have any goals in Bw scene? For example WCG champion?
Back then yes. But in Taiwan nobody really play Bw anymore, so there is no such options in WCG. So I dont have any goal right now. I just play for fun, isn't everybody like that?
Thank you for the interview, do you have anything to say to GosuGamers and your fans?
Good luck and thank you all.

You are currently ranked #23 in the GosuGamers rankings, is this something that is important to you?
It was important for me, now not, main reason is that i do not have time to prepare for clanwars, i just come and play and often lose to weaker players who prepared better for that match.
What about the Carrier? Have you tried it?
I guess i will start carrier only after it will become popular in korean masses. Anyway i'm not fan of different ladders, i like gaming with friends much more.
You have two big events on ggnet coming up. Lets start with KOTH. From what I understand you want to give sen a hard fight and have been practicing. What do you think about your chances?
Well it's all the question of motivation. After clanwar vs ToT in FBL I didn't prepare for anything special, but for this one I will, because it's KOTH, and my opponent is Sen, I guess the best non-korean zvt, maybe only Midian in shape has near same level. And yes i'm motivated for win and sure in it.
You mention Midian, he is in your group in GGSL along with Androide and Soo. What do you think of that tournament in general and how do you rate your chances?
The idea of tour is nice, the other thing is that i can't predict the attitude of participants to it. I mean no money engaged in this tour and of course it makes motivation more little for some of players. I will play in it, but i won't practise for it specially. Our group is absolutely unpredictable because of Androide factor. I really didn't expect him to play in qualify in this tour and i don't know his goals in it.
I read the previous interview with you at GosuGamers and you said you liked to play/practice with friends and mentioned white-ra and ex. Is that still the same situation? Who do you practice TvZ with?
During last month i played mostly in tours, clanwars or 2v2 fun games using zerg, so i really do not remember when last time I played with Ra and Ex, btw they are not very active now also. About TvZ... Well, I play TvZ against my russian and ukrainian friends, sometimes also with xLo.Fosken. I do not have 1-2-3 stable partners for it.
You've been in xLo (previously boss) for quite a long time now. I assume you like the clan and the people in it? How would you rate you guys vs some of the other big clans?
For me key factors of staying in xLo are our great manager Bartar, i think the most energetic and active manager from all top bw teams and White-Ra with whom we are in very good relations. The other team members are also nice guys. I do not think we are same family as for example ToT, because we are rather little time in same team, but we didn't have any problems in relations during these 6-9 months we are together
If you had to predict top 3 of the GGSL, who would that be?
Hard to predict, but i guess Legendary, Testie, Sen and Pj are amongst the favourites.
Anything else you want to say?
I want to congratulate all girls and woman with coming 8-th March and with them all the best! Remember, girls, without you we are noone!
