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.

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 first set was a bit uncertain, but by the second set, I realized he was st...

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.

The bot lane items got nerfed, and there were so...

Hello, I'm Moham Jung Jae-hoon, the support for Dplus KIA. Q: How do you feel taking out the victory? First of all, today was my first playoffs as a pro, and to be honest, while it was tough, it was also a lot of fun. Q: You came up from CL (Challengers League) to make it to the main roster again for playoffs. Frankly it's been really rough for me as I had to take a break for half a year. Watching other LCK teams particular like Kwangdong matches, I did keep blaming myself thinking 'that should have been my place.' I considered giving up many times, but I believed I had talent. So I kept going, following the daily routine of pro players without missing a day. Q: How ...
