White-Ra: "just using maybe my skill [here]"
Last minute IEM VI Kyiv replacement Oleksii ‘White-Ra’ Krupnyk spoke in a video interview about his unique situation competing without practice, the number of Protoss in the playoffs already and his thoughts on
DIMAGA’s game vs.
HerO.
White-Ra was announced as the stand-in for KiLLeR only a day before the start of the group, A, he would play in. Nevertheless he progressed to the playoffs in the second spot, beating
Strelok and
TitaN.
How did White-Ra come to find out he would be playing in Kyiv? Did the last minute nature of his participation remove any pressure to perform? Do Strelok and White-Ra practice together? Why does White-Ra think he could have beaten NaNiwa in the second map of their series? Why does he not like the lack of Zergs in the playoffs at the moment? Did DIMAGA make the right choice going for a macro war with HerO in the deciding set?
