‘Ruler’, who was interviewed after the game, said that it was not an easy game, but he was happy to win with good performance. He also added that in the game against T1, he always thought that rushing first was the cause of the defeat, so he decided to play calmly and that seems to be the secret to winning the match.
On the other hand, ‘Ruler’ evaluated his rival ‘Kumayushi’ Lee Min-hyung as an outstanding player with a lot to see and learn. He said that although they exchange provocations with each other, they are always reviewing ‘Kumayushi’ and expect good performances in the future.
Below is the full QA
Q. I wonder how it feels to win today’s match.
Ruler: It wasn’t an easy match, but I’m happy that we won it with great performance.
Q. Your record against T1 has not been good. Do you think you were able to win by preparing for something as a team?
Ruler: I prepared really hard for the bottom ban pick. We also tended to play in a hurry whenever we faced T1. We lost in the first round and gathered together and decided not to play in a hurry even if we were at a disadvantage. So I think we could win today.
Q. In both sets 1 and 2, you were in a disadvantageous situation by giving away kills from the bottom in the beginning, but were you mentally shaken?
Ruler: didn’t shake We didn’t do well and our opponent did well, so we acknowledged it and calmly prepared for the next play.
Q. You dominated the match by choosing Jerry in the second set. Now let’s evaluate Jerry.
Ruler: I think it’s a real scam if you’re with Yumi. Assuming that only Jerry is used, it is Tier 1, but I think it has a weakness. She basically has a weak line transition and can’t be revealed, but there are good champs against Jerry.
Q. You are running on a winning streak of 14 sets. The team’s level of perfection has improved, what do you think is the secret?
Ruler: All of our team members are practicing with poison. I also tried to fill in the missing parts. In my case, I practiced hard to match the match with Lehenz, and I paid a lot of attention to reduce the cuts or odd deaths during the match.
Q. I wonder if you have anything to say to Kumayushi.
Ruler: I always think of him as a good player, and there are many things I learn from watching. However, I was provoked a lot, so I talked a bit louder in the interview (laughs). Still, I want to tell you that I am always looking forward to seeing you next time we meet.
Q. Lastly, if you have anything to say
Ruler: I would like to thank the Gen.G fans who always support me, and I will work hard and prepare well in the future to show you a fun game.
