How are you? Congratulations on your win.
I have mixed feelings
I can't be completely happy about everything
because I don't think we played all that well.
I think we have to continue with this hunger
and not get complacent.
Because I think even if we won today
and we did better than last week but...
well, fifty fifty.
You think there are still things to improve on.
Yes I think regarding
performances, when there is more pressure
I think our level drops.
I think we don't play as well as during practice
and I think it's a problem.
What did you do during the offseason ?
Well...
during this last offseason,
I went on a short trip
and the rest of the time, I played LoL non-stop
so it's been a little trip and work.
How did you prepare for this split
considering your experience in the previous one?
Well, I reflected on what I think I was lacking
I thought about what I should do better,
come up with a plan for it,
write it down and work based on it.
What do you think about streaming scrims in the LEC?
Do you think it’s beneficial or harmful?
What do you think?
I think it could be cool sometimes but...
I don't think it's good
to pay more attention to the streaming than the performance, right ?
But I think in certain cases, occasionally,
it could be cool.
With the new format of best of threes
there are now more games.
What do you think about this change
compared to the format with best of ones ?
Well I think it's a lot better.
It benefits the competition, at least at the level of gameplay
because you have more time to adapt,
you can improve more on stage,
play more games on stage,
and get more used to what it’s like to compete.
I think that before we played so few games
and
I think this way
benefits the league in the end.
Without the lane swaps or the level one swaps
do you feel like you can now play the laning phase in a more standard way ?
Yes absolutely.
I think it’s gone back a bit more to the 2v2,
and with that the drafts change a bit
since the bot lane 2v2 is more important now.
You can’t just swap and be done with it.
So, yeah, that has changed a lot.
How’s the work with Álvaro and the rest of the team going
in terms of communication and shotcalling?
The communication is always a bit different
depending on each game.
But I think it's improving in our scrims
although I think we still have a long way to go
especially when it comes to being more efficient in how we communicate,
how we receive feedback
and how we improve from there.
How much impact would you say KOI's coaching staff
has in your daily preparation?
In my daily preparation, I wouldn't say it has much impact.
It’s more when
planning the drafts, planning the team's objectives,
and then outside of that
there are specific things like individual sessions,
which are really good for giving you different perspectives
and can help you.
What would you say is the biggest strength of KOI this split as a team ?
I think
we are the best team at taking advantages.
What do you feel was different in this match
compared to the last two,
which looked quite different?
I think we started the first game a little better than the other ones,
and we played way more calmly.
What do you think of the current meta for marksmen,
Do you feel it suits your playstyle?"
Yes, I feel like I'm adapting
but I think it's boring.
I think utility ADCs and setup champs are a bit boring now.
They need to change things up a bit, we’ve had enough of Varus and Ashe.
What do you think of the format changing to fearless draft?
Do you like it more? Do you find it more attractive?
I think it's very attractive and dope.
I think
when we will have best of fives
it will be even more entertaining.
But I like it very much.
How has living together at the team house been this split
with the new addition to the roster?
Good, I'd say.
I think everyone liked it.
Do you have any words for your fans and KOI fans?
Thank you so much for supporting us
I am very grateful to be here, to have this opportunity.
And...
we will keep working.
It's our first win of the season.
We need 6 more if I'm not mistaken.
And let's go for the LEC title !
