Kas speaks after day 1 of IEM 6 Kyiv

UAMihail ‘Kas’ Hayda spoke after finishing top of Group B with three wins, despite an injured leg. The Empire Terran was the winner of the National qualifier and faced a group of two Protoss (RO NightEnD and NL Grubby) and a Zerg (KR Zenio).

What are Kas’ thoughts on how today went? How close was he to dropping out due to his injury? How did the other Terran dropping out for another Protoss affect his expectations? Should he be considered a favourite to win IEM VI Kyiv? What were his expectations for NL Grubby and RO NightEnD in his group? Is the Ukraine better at SC2 than Sweden?
