DuskBin.F91 is interviewed by TeamLiquid on TSL2. Full interview below:

You couldn't play the last TSL because of the restrictions on Chinese players. What made you decide to get around the China block by asking for an exception to fly outside the country and play the qualifiers in this one?

I did not think of playing in the beginning when I was told that Chinese players are banned from this StarLeague. Ash managed to convince me to partcipate in it anyway which is why I’m playing the ladder now.

You're well known around these parts thanks to your destruction of Liquibition. Do you think you will have similar success in the TSL, and if so, why?

I don’t think getting top 3 will be too much of a problem for me but it’s definitely not easy to win the champion because I think the foreigners have improved significantly.

Given the stiff competition from progamers like Idra and Ret from Korea, how do you see yourself approach the ladder stage? What is your goal for these next three weeks?

Idra has been in Korea for a long time, I think he will be very different from our last encounter. He is definitely going to be really hard to play against. On the other hand, ret has switched to ZvZ a matchup which I’m really confident to play against any non korean players so I do not really worry about that. My target for the next 3 weeks is to reach atleast top 12 in the ladder stage.

Your style of play is often called 'aggressive' and you are known for your unorthodox strategies. How do you think these will play out in a bo3 or bo5 series against an opponent, especially when the stakes are significantly higher than an exhibition match?

I am very confident in my style because I’ve always been the same player since I first debut in the scene and my style is the one which makes all my opponents being paranoid when playing against me. I think I am better than a psychologist when dealing with psychology war haha.

Let's talk a bit about Duskbin, your new team. What's up with that, and what happened to fnatic?

The atmostphere in DuskBin is very nice. All the players are still practicing very hard it’s quite an upset that they are not able to participate in this though. I have a lot of confidence in DuskBin to be the next big team. As for Fnatic there is nothing much to say, we’ve parted in a peaceful manner and I wish them all the best in the future if they happen to acquire another StarCraft squad.

As a top foreigner, you've no doubt seen people come and go in the scene. Who are some new players who have caught your attention this TSL and the months leading up to it?

I think it’s KOLLL from germany. I have watched the way he played from behind during WCG and I think he has very excellent micro with his mutalisk micro being the most notable one. It’s very rare to see foreigners having such an impressive micro nowadays and I think he will be the biggest underdog in this TSL.

Who do you want to face the most during the ladder or qualifiers, and why?

There is no one in particular who I would like to play against. Whoever he is, I will assure him that he will play a super F91 in the playoff stage.

Everyone wants to know where you think up your strategies, or how you put them together. Tell us a bit about how you come up with and test builds. What kind of thought process goes into making them work?

In fact I do not really test my builds. It all depends on my scouting and reflex. I use whatever builds that I think will be able to counter my opponents one.

Also, with the TSL on the line and you having to face so many top foreigners, will putting together creative builds be a priority for you? As we discussed earlier, this seems to be a hallmark of your play and we'd like to know if we should look out for it in your TSL.

I’m not too sure about that yet. I believe I will try my best to play safe and surprise my opponent once in a while in order to keep my chances high. I will remain unpredictable.

"I will do my best to win every game. You can look forward to my performance."

All in all, what do you hope to take away from this TSL?

I would be lying if I say I’m not eyeing on the champion and I hope everyone will be rooting for me. Thank you!

Translated version:

上届TSL限制中国大陆选手，所以你没能参加。你为什么这次申请在中国大陆之外参加预选赛？
一开始我没想着要参赛因为听说中国大陆选手不能参加。但是战队经理Ash劝我想办法参加，所以我现在就在打预选赛了。

你因Liquibition[TL明星赛，91哥战胜美国Idra，Nony和eSTRO前教练Kos等]的辉煌战绩成名。你觉得你能在TSL中再续辉煌吗？如果是的话，为什么？
我觉得对我来说前三名不是大问题。但赢得冠军显然不容易因为我觉得外国选手提高了许多。

面对来自Idra，Ret等职业选手的挑战，你觉得预选赛难度大吗？接下来的三星期你的目标是什么？
Idra去韩国很久了，我想他和我们上次交手时相比会有很大不同。他当然是一个难对付的对手。另一方面，Ret改打zvz了，而我zvz打非韩选手非常有信心所以我不太担心那个。我接下来的三星期目标是预选赛前12。

你比赛的风格常被形容为“有侵略性的”同时你的新战术也很有名。你觉得这些因素回在bo3或bo5的比赛中有什么作用？特别是这次奖金很高？
我对我自己的风格非常有信心。我一直是这个风格，我的这个风格让我的对手打出了阴影。我想我的心理战比心理学专家还厉害。

我们聊聊你的新战队DuskBin吧。新战队有什么新闻吗？Fnatic又出了什么事了？
DB的环境很好。所有选手都很刻苦地在训练但很可惜他们不能参加TSL。我对DB更有信心。对Fnatic没有什么好说的。我们和平分手的，如果他们重建星际部分的话我祝愿他们将来一切都好。

作为一名顶尖非韩选手，你肯定看多了选手们的来来去去.最近有什么新人引起你的关注了？
我想是德国选手KOLLL。我在WCG在他背后看过他比赛，我觉得他的操作很好，尤其是飞龙。很少见外国选手有这么好的飞龙操作。我想他会成为本次TSL最大的冷门。

在预选赛中你最想碰到谁？为什么？
我并没有特别想和谁比赛。不管对手是谁，我肯定他会在决赛阶段碰上超强的F91。

大家都想知道你是在哪里想战术的，或者你是怎么想战术的。告诉我们一点你是怎么想战术并测试战术的。一个战术的实用化要经过怎样的思考？
事实上我并不去测试我的战术。战术全部取决于我的侦查和反应。我会根据对手战术选择战术。

另外，TSL即将到来你会面对很多顶尖外国选手。你现在会抓紧研究新战术吗？之前我们讨论过这已经成为你的招牌了，我们想知道TSL中能不能看到你的新战术？
我还不太确定。我想我会尽力用稳健的战术但时不时吓唬对手一下，来让我的胜算大一些。我会保持难以琢磨的风格。比赛中我会毫无保留的去赢下每一场比赛，所以请大家期待我的比赛。

总而言之，你参加TSL的目标是什么？
我要说我的目标不是冠军的话那是在骗人。我希望大家都为我加油。谢谢！
