StarDust, First and Babyknight form a Protoss-alliance against Firecake in WCS Europe tonight

Schreibe eine Antwort

It’s not so rare to see three Protoss in one group in WCS, in fact it happened twice last season – and never could the Zerg make it to the next round. So might Sebastien ‚FireCake‘ Lebbe be an exception tonight when fighting Son ‚StarDust‘ Seok Hee, Kang ‚First‘ Hyun Woo and Jon ‚BabyKnight‘ Andersen in WCS Europe? Stats and trivia of Group E

Interview with Firecake: „I leave every ZvT and ZvZ in ladder“

Schreibe eine Antwort

In an all-Protoss group, Sebastien ‚Firecake‘ Lebbe is the lonely Zerg tonight in WCS Europe. But as he tells in our interview, he has specially prepared for this situation: „I leave every ZvT & ZvZ in ladder in order to play only Protoss.“

[playerbox_firecake] How did you prepare for the Round of 32?
Well, I played a lot. Since I know my group, I leave every ZvT & ZvZ in ladder in order to play only Protoss and I have to thank my friends and my team to accept to train with me. I hope it will be enough.

How do you feel going into the matches?
It is going to be very tough. I believe I got the strongest group with three very high-level Protoss including two top Koreans. [babyknight] is a very dangerous Protoss, playing for the best French team. [first] has played for a long time for IM and [stardust] won a Dreamhack. I have so much respect for them and I wish them good luck. I will need to make a surprise. I am able to do it.

What are your chances to advance into Round of 16?
It is the third time i qualified for WCS Premier League Europe. This is a very high performance so i guess i am not so bad. I feel confident because i am able to deal with late game in ZvP. If i can deal with the 2 or 3 base all-ins, I will be fine.

Who will be your hardest opponent in the group and why?
I believe [stardust] has the strongest all-ins.

What are your goals for this season?
Advancing into Round of 16.
