'Hero', 1st place in Group B, "I'm sad we couldn't finish faster"
'Hero' Kim Da-won advanced to the round of 16 in first place in Group B of the 'KartRider Drift League (KDL)' Pre-Season 2 individual competition held at the Vita500 Colosseum in Jamsil on the 18th. The fight for first place with 'HoJun' was very fierce, but after a back-and-forth battle, 'Hero' took first place in the final 10th round and reached 50 points first.
The following is the full interview with 'Hero'.
Q. What are your thoughts on advancing to the round of 16?
It's a shame I couldn't finish it quickly. Still, I'm satisfied with finishing first in the round of 32.
Q. Why didn't you participate in the individual competition last season?
Since it was the first season transitioning (to Drift), I wanted to focus on the team competition rather than the individual competition.
Q. You were pushing forward from the beginning throughout the game today. Was this an intentional strategy?
It's partly intentional, but it's a bit difficult to be behind in the current game. So I tried to stay in front as much as possible.
Q. You've been showing some sluggish performances lately. Did the title of individual competition royal roader put some pressure on you?
(Drift) is a newly starting game, so I don't feel as much pressure as in the original. Still, there's some pressure to get to a certain level. Just that much.
Q. There is no loser's bracket in the individual round of 32. Wasn't there pressure of elimination?
There was no pressure. I had faith in my skills, so I thought I would definitely advance.
Q. What is your goal for this season?
Like I said in the broadcast interview, my goal is the finals, but honestly, I want to win. The finals are my first goal, and winning is my second.
Q. You seem much brighter since transferring to Aura.
The team members were already close friends while playing KartRider, and we get along well and have fun together as teammates. I think that has an effect. Eun-taek hyung also takes really good care of me.
Q. Any last words?
As much as I'm participating in the individual competition, I'll aim for the finals, so please give me a lot of support.
