Q: T1 finished LCK Summer Split as fourth after beating BNK FearX.

We won against BNK with a 2-0 victory, and I feel more light-hearted to finish the regular season on a high note. It’s also a relief because we defeated an opponent who beat us in the first round. 


Q: What were some of the disappointments and positive aspects looking back on the regular reason? 

This summer season, our performance wasn't great overall. But we gained valuable experiences which I think aren't easily obtainable and so I am satisfied with those aspects. However, it was a shame that time flew by when we could have found better ways to overcome those challenges. Today, our team's overall positioning was ok and we communicated fluidly, which I’m pleased about.


Q: Reflecting on the summer season with MSI and EWC at Saudi Arabia etc, it seemed like it was an onerous schedule.

As for myself, I didn’t find the tight schedule too difficult. I was grateful for the many experience we had this summer season.


Q: Currently, it is highly likely that T1 will meet KT Rolster in the first round of playoffs.

In Summer, KT was an aggressive and tactically diverse team so that is something we need to be cautious of. We have also lost to them in the regular season, so it should be an exciting match if we meet in the playoffs.


Q: Next week's playoff will be played with patch 14.16. It appears that Mid will go through changes so what are your thoughts on it?

With what appears to be a major patch again, the systematic changes are planned. I think the champions from the next patch and the game's direction are likely to shift significantly. Given that the Summer season leads directly to Worlds, maintaining our form is crucial. One of our goals is to continuously build up our form. 


Q: Would like to request for your message to the supporting fans.

I would like to thank the fans who cheered for us in our final match. The playoffs are coming up, and we hope to show you an even better performance then. (Bows)

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 games. Whet

  Post-match interview with Gumayusi, following a 2:0 victory vs BNK FearX: Translation of the interview uploaded on Aug-17 by  PF Esports  | Week 9, 2024 LCK Summer Split Q: What are your thoughts on today's victory? I wanted to check up on our form before the playoffs, and I'm happy that we won with a clean 2:0. Q: How satisfied are you with today's performance? Overall, I think we performed well. Personally, I felt that my early laning phase in the first set could have been better so I think it would be good to improve on that.  Q: Comparing last year to this year, what kind of progression has there been?  With time, everyone does naturally improve but I think I’ve grown both mentally and skill-wise. Q: What do you think about the changes to Senna after the patch?  From the videos I watched after the patch, it seems like she has more of a healer vibe now. Now that (Senna) will be used with adc, I think it might make it easier for Minseok (Keria) to use Senna. Q: Tell us

Translation of the interview  uploaded on Sep-13 by fomos esports  | 2024 LCK Regional Qualifier Round 2 - Finals Qualifier against BNK FearX Q: How do you feel after the match? Hirai:  We had to win, and I was confident that we could. So I trusted in the players, and I’m happy we won today. The players performed well, and I believe we can do well tomorrow too. Deft:  Well, I think there were points in all three sets where we could have lost. Tomorrow, (T1) is a strong team who can capitalise if we made the same mistakes. So we will need to perform better. Q: Can you talk about today’s match? Hirai:  In the first game, there were some psychological aspects affecting both teams. But beyond that, there were some in-game strategic decisions and parts of our pre-game predictions that were a bit off. This happened not only in the first game but in the second and third as well. The players already recognized these issues before we even provided feedback after the match, so I believe we can i
