Please tell us how you feel? I said this at the showcase as well but I had never dreamt of being able to join Gen.G. Now that I have joined Gen.G, I will work hard for it. Q: There was some talk that the competition for recruitment would be intense. I understand that you received offers from many teams. Could you share the reason for choosing Gen.G? I wanted to make sure I played in the first string team. There seemed to be many options for 2025, but I wanted to achieve good results and join a strong team. That's why I chose Gen.G. Q: What do you think made Gen.G choose you? Since mid-summer when I was called up (to first string), I feel like I’ve stirred things up a bit, like a sandstorm. My bold initiation skills see...

Translation of the interview  uploaded on Oct- 19 by LCK  | 2024 Worlds Championship Quarterfinals  Jeesun: It was a really clean win today. How do you feel and did you expect such outcome? Keria:   When we played TES (at Swiss), I think we lost because of our own mistakes. So we had confidence that we would win if we faced them again. I was expecting a score of more like 3:2 where we would win with more difficulty, so I'm happy. Jeesun:  Looking at your in-game play, you seemed to be in your best form. But, in fact we heard that you didn't sleep well last night. How are you feeling now? Keria:   Well, I was kept myself in a good state till now but from about 9 o'clock I heard this nail drilling noise against my ears. I woke up and it seemed that there was some construction nearby. It was...

Translation of the interview  uploaded on Sep-14 by fomos esports  | 2024 LCK Regional Qualifier Finals - 4th Seed Decider against KT Rolster Q: Tell us how you're feeling after the match. kkOma:  For today at least, I feel incredibly delighted. I can’t even think about anything else because I’m just so happy right now. I am so happy. Also, since we had so many matches (recently), I know it must have been really tough for the players having to play to full 5 sets, but I’m really grateful that they stayed focused until the very end.  Faker: Our performance wasn’t great during the Summer season, and there were a lot of tough matches. But now that we've qualified for Worlds, I feel like we’ve gotten an amazing opportunity, and I’m really grateful. We also have some time to prepare for the matches and manage our form, so we’re thinking about how to make the most of it. Q: To elaborate on today's series? kkOma: Today, I had already thought the match might go to five game...
