JazBas talks about his recent WCS New Zealand victory, the misconception that Koreans have naturally high APM, and Rossi marrying his sister..!?

JLew: Going into a tournament like WCS Oceania which has not only a large prize-pool but also entrance into the WCS World Championships, how are you preparing? Is there any players in particular that you are preparing for or worried to face?

JazBas: To be honest, I'm just happy to go to Australia and compete again. I had the privilege to go to Sydney twice for competitions, where both times I had GREAT time and met GREAT people. sure I won't take this WCS Oceania lightly, but for me, it's more like a fun and great experience for me and I'm really looking forward to meeting some of my favorite people living in Australia.

I'll maybe just practice a little more than I used to, but nothing too serious like I did with NZ WCS although it's going to be harder. I'm ALWAYS worried to play NvRossi. He's been someone who is just constantly beating me every time and someone who I always fear to play lol. but again, he's an awesome guy and I'm really looking forward to meet everyone again and have fun.

JLew: Though you say you're behind in sponsorship and attention, if you're catching up in terms of skill, how do you think that the top SEA players currently stand up against the top NA/Europe players?

JazBas: In terms of skill, I think a lot of NA/EU communities underestimate the skill level of SEA. Although I agree on us being generally weaker than those regions, I think that difference is very minimal. For example, a lot of SEA top players are ranked high in NA Grand Master league, and we also take games off the top Korean pros on KR/TW servers as well on ladder. Sure ladder might not mean that much but it's still a great start to proving our regions skill.

It's because you aren't underrated, everyone knows how awesome you are.
