with coach cCarter
Huni’s Lucian has been a pocket pick for a long time.
T1 coudn’t pull out the pick because either Kennen was banned or mid Lucian was used, and that they were able to do it now because the opponent took the bait (picking kennen).
(regarding the match against SSG) the team hasn’t fully adapted to the meta and lacked enough practice and said he was trying to work on the fundamentals that were suffering since the MSI.
(regarding upcoming match against LZ) “It’ll be a tough matchup, but we’ll try hard to win.”
with Wolf
T1 didn’t get to scrim much, making communication suffered as a result, not to mention meta changes since the patch.
He also reminded the fans that, “SKT T1 is a team that has won most championships. I hope you don’t worry too much about us.”
(goal in 2017)“winning championships.” with winning summer + advancing to Worlds directly as the team did not advance to worlds directly last year
asked his fans a safe return home
wished that people will always have fun while watching SKT T1’s games.
with Faker
Relieved with tonight’s win but still concerned for this split because T1′s performance wasn’t up to par.
(regarding the Galio pick) ”I think I lost a lot of fights because I picked the ones that were unfavorable for my team.”
(regarding the Lucian pick) “He’s been playing a lot of top Lucian in solo queue. I guess he felt his Lucian was ready.”
Choosing a tank champion (Galio) over explosive damage like Syndra is all good because he was named MVP
Ultimate goal is to win Worlds. Short term goal is to regain form
complimented Ever8 Winner’s Cepted’s performance
(regarding T1′s tough schedule) “I’m okay because I’m used to this kind of schedule, but my teammates may be under a lot of strain.”
(message to fans)I’ve been very concerned coming into this Summer Split, and I imagine fans are as well. I’ll do my best to overcome it and try to give you the best performance.
