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 games. Whet

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

Zefa: First of all, since this was the final match to secure the 4th seed, there was no turning back. I really wanted to secure the win today and I’m so happy we won in such a great way. It feels even better to win against a team we hadn’t beaten in a while. ShowMaker: If we had lost today, we would have had to fight for the 4th seed tomorrow right. I really wanted to win today, and I’m so relieved and happy we did. Now as we are heading to Worlds, I’ll do my best there as well.  Q: DK finally won against T1. ShowMaker: For the last three years, we hadn’t won against that team, and even though I tried not to focus on that, it was always in the back of my mind. I kept thinking when do we end this losing streak against them? Breaking that streak on such an important stage feels great. Moving forward, I want to focus on

Translation of the interview  uploaded on Sep-12 by fomos esports  | 2024 LCK Regional Qualifier Round 1 - 3rd Seed Decider Q: How do you feel after finishing the match? kkOma : It’s really disappointing to lose in the fifth set, but since we have one more match left, we need to recover and prepare well. Gumayusi : I also feel very disappointed that we lost after going to the fifth set. But since it’s not over yet, we just need to prepare well for the next match. Q: Why didn't Corki perform well? kkOma : It's not just about Corki, but it also depends on the composition and the other champions in the other team. So it’s more about the overall team composition rather than focusing on Corki alone. Q:Who do you think will be your opponent in the 4th seed qualifier? kkOma : Regardless of which team wins, we are in the mindset that we just have to beat them no matter what. Q: What do you think caused today's loss? kkOma : It felt like things didn’t go as we planned from the start

Translation of video uploaded on Aug-28 by HanabankNewBiz (link below). Please choose the song you’d like to hear for each situation. Q: When you carried the game and won: Daybreak) Fall in love with you vs  Flower Road [Zeus] :  ‘Flower Road’. I like the lyrics more and it fits well since I carried. Q: When you need a mood change? Silica Gel) No Pain vs Tik Tak Tok [Oner] :  I'm drawn more to the second one, ‘Tik Tak Tok’  and it seems like it would lift my spirits. Q: If you were to upload a cover on YouTube?  10cm)   Stalker   vs    Love in the Milky Way Cafe [Gumayusi] :  I’d want to sing ‘Love in the Milky Way Cafe’. ‘Stalker’ is a bit too high-pitched, so it’s hard to sing. Q: If listening while playing solo queue:  TWS) Plot Twist vs If I'm S, Can You Be My N? [Keria] :  ‘The First Meeting Doesn’t Go as Planned.’ The melody stands out, and I feel like I could play with more energy.

First of all, I must admit being nervous because losing today meant a straight elimination. When we lost the first set, I had some negative thoughts that we might really lose today. But after winning the next game, I felt more confident, thinking, "we won’t be going home today." Q: The match predictions between Korean and international specialists/crews varied. Generally, domestic crew predicted T1 to prevail. You must feel even happier since this win secured your place in the lower finals. How did you prepare for your match against Kingen? I prepared for Kingen by focusing on the fact that he used to pick more tanky champions. Recently he's been playing more damage-dealing champions. The firs

I'm incredibly grateful for this win, which allows us to head to Gyeongju. I really wanted to avoid the qualifiers, so I’m relieved we won. Q: With no second chance, what was your mindset for the match? It felt like a do-or-die match, but we’ve experienced such games and won often. didn't worry too much but I started out with the determination to win. Q: How confident were you that you would win?  First of all, we had beaten DK many times and rarely lost, so I had a lot of confidence. We discussed about adjusting our drafts quickly and thought our chances to win was high. Q: Usually teams prepare hard for the first set. After losing that first set, what kind of feedback was given? We had prepared several strategies. Even though we lost the first set, we immediately switched to the

Post-match interview with Kiin following a 3:1 victory vs HLE: Translation of the interview  uploaded on Aug-31 by KMIBGesports  | 2024 LCK Summer Playoffs Round 3 Match 1   Q: Thoughts on today’s 3-1 victory? Even though we won 3-1, it wasn’t a clean victory, so that was a shame, but I’m very happy we secured our spot in the finals. Q: I'm sure you prepared diligently for this match. What did you focus on most against HLE? We focused a lot on the draft rather than the in-game aspects. During the game, we noticed that the opponent targeted the top lane more than expected to group up and benefited from it. So we continuously adjusted our feedback in-game. Q: What feedback did you give after losing the first set - regarding yourself or for the team? After losing the first set, we primarily reviewed our composition and the significant setback we experienced during the lane swap phase. While it’s hard to go into detail due to  typically, a lane swap may lead to one lane losing out, but

GEN.G Chovy | "Personally, I am on point with Garen"

Post-match interview with Chovy following a 3:1 victory vs HLE: Translation of the interview  uploaded on Aug-31 by PF Esports  | 2024 LCK Summer Playoffs Round 3 Match 1   Source:  PF Esports . https://youtu.be/dhHNAwgnoGo?si=gqB74aqDD-ZamRVX Q: Comment on how you feel about today's victory? Securing the 3:1 win after the playoff match with HLE and confirming our spot in the finals feels relieving and puts me in a good state of mind.  Q: What feedback did the team share after losing the first set? Although we had some setbacks early on.  As a team, we felt a bit rushed, which was a shame. Personally, with Zeri, I should have scaled better and looked for good counter-attack opportunities. But I couldn’t show that in the first set, which was disappointing. Q: What was the most satisfying part of the team’s performance today? Recently, amongst the team, we've been focusing on our movement and associated tactics which have been crucial in lane swaps. I think we did a pretty good j

Post-match interview with Doran following a 3:0 victory vs T1: Translation of the interview uploaded on Aug-29 by KMIBGesports |  2 024 LCK Summer Playoffs Round 2 Match 2   Q: Comments on today's match? I expected today's match against T1 to be very close, but we played as we prepared and secured a 3-0 win. I’m satisfied that we secured our spot to Gyeongju early on. Q: Formula to the 3-0 victory? We had a long break before the playoffs. During that time, we worked on areas where we were lacking. The hard work paid off in today's match. Currently, with champions like Ziggs that are good at taking down towers quickly, side lane management has become very important in this meta. I think we’re improving on areas we were previously missing out, but we’re still a work in progress. Q: Ideas on Vladimir? These days, the meta has become chaotic with champions even like Garen appearing. I considered using Vladimir since he recently received item buffs, but the right opportunity did

Hello, (bows) I am Canyon, the jungler of Gen.G Q: How do you feel about the match? I honestly didn't expect us to win so cleanly with 3:0 today, but it feels great to have done so.  Q: You won against your former team. We've faced each other a lot over the past year, so it didn't feel anything special and was just happy that we won.  Q: It seems like you would be happy to win against DK where Gen.G played till full 5 sets.   Every time we play against DK, we usually won it the hard way with 3-2 or 3-1 match. I thought today would be tough too, but I'm pleasantly surprised myself too that we won so decisively. Q: What do you think about this patch?  Regarding the jungle, I don't think much has changed. The bot lane items got nerfed, and there were some changes on
