Q: In today’s games, the pick rate for Braum was very high. Why do you think this was the case?
Meiko: First of all, his E is a shield and he has the ability to displace himself. As for his passive, it’s also a stun. His ultimate is also a stun and a slow.
Q: For Leona, who was just buffed, do you think there are any opportunities to bring her on stage?
Meiko: As for this new patch, she did get buffed in terms of damage. However, this champion in this patch still doesn’t really have a good role to play.
Q: Today, Deft faced his old opponent Imp for 3 rounds. Is there anything you want to say?
Deft: First of all, I feel that Imp doesn’t really play the stronger champions like Ashe in this patch. This isn’t necessarily his play style. Secondly, he played a lot of Twitch, Kog’Maw and other team fighting focused champions today. That’s why when laning with him early game, it is necessary to deal with everything appropriately, or else the team fights would be very troublesome.
Q: Deft. 30 minutes into the first game, the team fell apart and was taken down. What was the situation at that time?
Deft: If Ezreal and Twitch gathers resources equally, Twitch would definitely out-scale during late game. That’s why I wanted to do something during early game. At that time, I didn’t build any magic resist items and the opponent’s Viktor had already used his E. However, I didn’t think that the opponent could take me down with just a Q +R.
Q: Clearlove, you picked Gragas very early during game 2. However, there were better junglers that were still available. Why did you do this?
Clearlove: Because Gragas is a jungler who is balanced in all areas. Choosing Gragas first is advantageous for whatever our team chooses next.
Q: In the 6.13 patch, Teleport was nerfed. Do you think “double Teleport” has the possibility of appearing again?
Mouse: Because the time for Teleport has increased, the top laner has to decide whether or not he wants to teleport by the overall circumstance of the game. That’s why, you can even say it’s a small “buff”. However, because teleport has been nerfed, champions like Shen and T.F who has global teleport are becoming more popular again. In the future, teleport should still be chosen.
Scout: Because the Korean region is ahead in patches, I’ve experienced the teleport changes after the patch update. In the beginning, I was debating whether or not I wanted to bring TP. However, after playing for awhile, I got used to it.
Q: Clearlove, you started today as “Dark Clearlove”. How do you feel about this nick name?
Clearlove: Because it’s best of 3, that’s why I was even more focused after losing our first match. On top of that, I died quite a bit in the first game and it made me upset.
Q: Pawn, this is your first time back on stage this split, how has your health been?
Clearlove: Right now, Pawn’s body is still like before. He rests after ever game. As for playing on stage in the future, it depends on our coaching team’s decision.
Q: Before when Scout was streaming, people would type Korean to him. How has Scout's Chinese been?
Scout: First of all, I’m still not very good in terms of listening to Chinese. However, I’m really interested in the writing of other languages. So right now, I can read quite a few Chinese characters.
Q: Right now, other than League of Legends, are there any other games you enjoy?
Scout: Other than League of Legends, there’s not much I enjoy. Plus, our team doesn’t allow us to play other games.
Q: During the third game, EDG stole Baron beautifully. At that time, how did you make the decision?
Clearlove: Because our team’s communication is really good. At that time, we were tracking their vision control. After witnessing the opponent’s Braum use his ult to check the jungle, we were confident that they didn’t have vision.That’s why we decided to steal Baron. At that time, we had Thresh. If Gragas came, we could still crowd control them.
Q: Today, Marin seemed to really like playing Gnar. Mouse, how would you rate him?
Mouse: Gnar is a champion who isn’t very strong early game. However, as he levels up and and build items, he can become very strong. I also practice him.
Q: Then do you think Gnar, in this patch, would be a top tier top-laner?
Mouse: When this champion and Gragas combines, they are really good at disrupting things. That’s why I think that it’s pretty good.
