"I'm proud to be part of this community"
How does it feel to be qualified for WCG Philippines 2011 grand finals?
- It feels awesome. I'm nervous but also excited for the games.
What can we expect from you in the WCG Grand Finals?
- I can only do my best. I'm still improving every day. I hope to be in top form, especially on the day of the tournament.
WCG Grand Finals will be held at PGF which is said to be the biggest and grandest Gaming event in the Philippines this year. How are you preparing for this event?
- I'm training as much as I can. I've been laddering on the Korean server recently and the players there are just so good. I feel like it's helped me with certain aspects of the meta-game in all of my match-ups.
Who do you think will be the toughest opponent you will be facing in the tournament?
- I'm sure everyone will agree that it's Enderr. He's had the most tournament success out of all of us. He's a very scary Zerg and probably our strongest player right now.
Any last words/ shoutouts to the Philippine StarCraft community?
- It's exciting to see the eSports scene in our country grow. I'm proud to be a part of this community.
