Q: Which champion do you think was the most crucial in helping you win?
Mor: I feel like we did well in controlling the over all tempo of the game. When we were fighting in one lane, we also made sure things were going well in other lanes. We didn’t give our opponents any opportunities.
Q: Will engage compositions be your primary composition?
Mor: Yes.
Q: Dade is now in QG, is Doinb feeling pressured?
Doinb: I don’t really mind who joins or who leaves the team. I feel like whoever gets to play is based more on the patch. So I won’t feel pressured no matter who gets to play.
Q: How do you rate We1less (PainEvil/GodV)?
Doinb: I don’t think I’m in the position to be rating other players. However, We1less is one of the stronger mid laners in China.
Q: For Swift. How is LGD’s new jungler different from TBQ?
Swift: TBQ is a player who is more aggressive. Eimy slightly leans towards a defensive type of player. Since the players in the three other lanes in LGD are all very strong, I predicted that their jungler would serve as a defensive role in the team. In the end, I guessed right.
Q: When you were planning your strategy, did you try to find any methods to counter Marin?
Swift: We didn’t find ways to counter Marin specifically. It’s because Marin is a newly recruited players, so there might be problems with communication within the team. I also heard that Marin is really aggressive in lane, so I thought about focusing him by ganking top lane.
Q: How is LGD different now that they they’ve recruited Marin?
V: I feel that the current LGD isn’t cooperating as well as before. Marin’s laning does feel stronger than their previous top laner because his play style is more aggressive.
Q: After Swift failed numerous time trying to catch Marin in top lane, he decided to try to catch mid instead. At that time, how did you analyze the situation?
Swift: In the beginning, I went top because Rumble is an easily gankable champion. Marin is also a really strong player, so I wanted to help relieve some pressure in our top lane. I started going mid after because I could no longer relieve top lane pressure. Wards were put down, so it wasn’t as easy to gank. There were ganking opportunities in mid lane, so I went there instead.
Q: If you had the opportunity to fight for first place and you could choose any team to play against, who would you choose?
Mor: I feel like this is hard to answer. There has been many changes in the new season. Plus, we haven’t played against many teams yet, so it’s hard to make a conclusion.
