00:00:05:05] How did you feel about today's game? [00:00:08:21] After the world championship was over, [00:00:13:12] we came back and prepared for the KePSA cup during the off-season. [00:00:22:28] As you know, the game changed drastically [00:00:28:11] so it took some time getting adjusted to the new systems. [00:00:32:24] Because of that our play was a bit lacking, [00:00:36:11] even though we shouldn't be. [00:00:40:12] We are aiming to win the tournament [00:00:45:09 but Team Griffin turned out to be a formidable opponent. [00:00:50:19] Their strength has been rumored before and it proved to be true in today's game [00:00:54:02] by showing a high understanding of the new Meta. [00:00:57:23] In retrospective, it was a difficult match. [00:01:02:03] How was it playing with your new support, Effort, in his very first match? [00:01:02:03] Effort is very young and this was his first time playing as a pro. [00:01:21:15] Coach was talking to me about to reminisce when I started as a pro [00:01:27:23] and remember how nervous I was. [00:01:29:12] Because he came directly from solo queue to a team environment, [00:01:37:00] he must've been anxious. [00:01:39:08] So I was talking to him a lot to make him relax and talk about the game [00:01:43:19] to create an environment like at our practice house. [00:01:50:27 He is a player that will grow stronger in time [00:01:55:02] and I would've liked for him to perform his best on day one [00:01:59:03 and I think he performed admirably. [00:02:02:06] He didn't seem that perplexed and was able to play to his strengths [00:02:08:23 so it turned out well. [00:02:11:19] He shows great performance in solo queue [00:02:16:23] He has a kind personality and is very diligent during practice. [00:02:21:27] I feel he has nowhere but to go up at this point [00:02:26:20] and he will improve a lot in the future. [00:02:29:12] There was a lot of emphasis on Varus and Ashe [00:02:32:01] during the pick and ban phase this tournament. [00:02:33:22] Were those deliberate picks for your strategy? [00:02:40:12] To be honest, many of the picks were situational picks. [00:02:44:03] The opponent picked Miss Fortune which made us counter it [with Varus and Ashe]. [00:02:50:22] We have talked a lot about the possible pick ban scenarios. [00:03:03:20] If we don't pick Ashe or Varus, we end up in an unfavorable match up [00:03:10:03 where the opponent comes with a poke comp with Varus or Ashe. [00:03:14:22] That's why we picked Ashe and Varus. [00:03:17:25] For example, if I picked Varus, [00:03:20:21] the opponent might bring out a comp like Jhin & Miss Fortune or Ashe & Miss Fortune [00:03:29:25] which would've made the laning phase a bit difficult for me. [00:03:34:12] There were a lot of conflicts in terms of the possible matchup scenarios [00:03:37:05] so we picked Varus and Ashe as safe picks. [00:03:41:04] In the second set, your picks were Ashe and Xerath. [00:03:44:18] How did you feel about these picks? [00:03:47:25] I felt that we had a good early game during the laning phase, [00:04:01:28] but I over extended to take down the tower which led to giving them kills [00:04:07:21 which I was disappointed about. [00:04:09:14 The pick and draft wise, I think it was good. [00:04:13:03 But I felt the opponent had a bit more comfortable composition to work with [00:04:20:00] due to their longer auto attack range. [00:04:24:01]The opponent had a strong poking composition. [00:04:30:08] What went through your mind and what was it like facing them? [00:04:35:01] We had 2 strategies – dodge or have a tank champion absorb all the damage, [00:04:41:04] one of those two. [00:04:43:05] Either way both strategies were a defensive strategy [00:04:46:19] while the opponent had an offensive tactic. [00:04:48:22] I think the opponent had an easier time with this match. [00:04:54:04] Did you expect the second game to drag on as it did? [00:05:04:14] Whoever wins the longing phase and snowballs from it [00:05:09:16 determines the outcome of the game. [00:05:12:09] I expected the advantage from the laning phase will win the game, [00:05:18:07] but both sides had good defensive comps [00:05:22:12] and weren't able to siege the tower aggressively so it dragged on longer than expected. [00:05:34:24] With regards to your team roster, with 2 people leaving, [00:05:40:28] what are your thoughts on the roster change and how you feel? [00:05:47:00] If you think about it, we live, eat, sleep and play together for 1 year [00:05:59:08] and we're basically stuck together for that period and having the 2 members leave… [00:06:02:29] its common for players to leave and stay… [00:06:08:20] apart from the game, having younger brothers or older brothers leave, [00:06:17:29] it kind of hurts my heart seeing them go and I feel kind of sorry in some sense. [00:06:22:29] I feel like that sense still kind of exists right now. [00:06:27:14] Within the game, everyone works hard and prepares well to see better results. [00:06:33:19] we can expect to see better results than last year [with the new roster] [00:06:44:22] In regards to the members that left, I still miss them and when I see them my heart aches [00:06:50:10] but because they're on a different team and we have to face them, we still have to win. [00:06:56:21] Your next opponent can either be Longzhu or JinAir, [00:07:01:15] everyone thinks it will be Longzhu, [00:07:04:14] What goes in your head when thinking about going against Longzhu? Revenge perhaps? [00:07:11:06] or the specific preparation against them? [00:07:15:04]The first thing that comes across my mind is that Wang-ho (Peanut) went to Longzhu. [00:07:19:21] Even today we shared the same standby room, we still contact each other [00:07:24:09] and continue to contact each other. [00:07:26:18] And since he went to another team, we still have to compete and win against them [00:07:30:22] and in regards to Longzhu, even though they're a different team, [00:07:37:05 I have this expectation towards players and team. [00:07:41:04] With Longzhu, I personally didn't really like this team. [00:07:46:15] But now that Wang-ho (Peanut) is on this team, [00:07:53:15] before my interest level was here but now it's over here, [00:07:57:21] there is this aspect that it went higher. [00:08:00:28] Now, I have this high expectation of Longzhu if they make it. [00:08:05:02] And because it's the preseason, it's hard to tell how these teams will perform, [00:08:12:24] so there is a fun aspect. [00:08:16:14] Do you have any final messages for your fans? [00:08:20:04] If you look at this year, the World Cup ended, we still think this isn't the end of this year. [00:08:33:21] It may be a new start or end looking at KeSPA Cup. [00:08:38:09] Overall, we think it's a starting point for next year, to win, and have a good start for Spring. [00:08:52:19] Throughout KeSPA Cup, we want to show what it means to be SKT [00:09:00:26] and to show that we can bounce back. [00:09:05:01] So thank you for cheering us on and we'll do our best to show the best results.
