A tough job being a progamer, playing in different countries three days in a row.
CHINA/SOUTH KOREA. After having defeated Sheis in the IEST semi final, Hwasin took a quick flight back to Korea to play Bisu in the StarLeague.
Hwasin was hoping for a quick semi final versus Sheis so he could have some rest and to be able to focus on the StarLeague match versus Bisu. But Sheis put pressure on the Terran progamer who had to play all five games to settle the winner. To FighterForum, Hwasin says it was a tough game.
- We are from the same team and our play style is similar, he says and adds that it was a mental pressure because of the fact they knew each other so well.
The tough schedule did of course take out its toll on Hwasin. He hardly practiced for the match, which eventually led to him losing the Bisu match 1-2. But Hwasin is fast in denying that he thinks playing in IEST is a burdain.
- I volunteered for IEST, so even if it's very tiresome and hard, I won't regret to have stepped up to the challenge, he means.
Tomorrow, at 12:00, Hwasin will go up against Calm, another of his team mates. Hwasin has a mean Terran versus Zerg matchup, 47-24 which sums to up to a 66 winning percentage. Calm on the other hand, has 4-9 in scores from the professional leagues.
Let us just hope that Hwasin is rested enough.
