Duro: I personally think that losing confidence is the end of me. I always try to stay confident — I think I was able to keep this mentality thanks to the people around me who helped me so much.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Ruler: we did more than just go 50/50, so I think we did well today. Looking back at all of MSI, me and Duro as a bot lane were looking pretty competitive.

Q: Duro, what was the key to your success at your first international tournament?

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Q: Ruler, in the previous conference Gumayusi said he was dominated in the lane phase. What was your preparation, and how do you feel about your performance?

Ruler: Looking back on the matchup, especially the laning phase today, even when we had even matchups (cont)

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Ruler: I don’t want to face anyone [at Worlds], because every team is very strong.

Duro: Same as Ruler. Every team is very strong, so I don’t want to face anyone.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Canyon: Same thoughts. This MSI taught me that every team is very strong, and I hope we can prepare well and win.

Chovy: I’m not excited for a specific matchup that could happen at Worlds, just excited to beat the teams in front of us.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Q from NAmen: Since GEN auto-qualifies to Worlds with this win, what team from a different region are you most looking forward to facing at that tournament?

Kiin: No one really comes to mind right now. I hope we can beat all of the strong teams we face and win Worlds.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Chovy: Last time we fell to T1 at an international tournament was Worlds last year. We did beat them at MSI last year but that doesn't mean much. I feel we still need to get our revenge at Worlds.

Ruler: Similar thought. Beating T1 at Worlds will feel like true revenge.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Chovy: I really value the hard work and preparation we put in throughout this tournament. That experience accumulated and helped us come out on top [in the end].

Q: Chovy, Ruler, how does it feel to finally get your revenge on T1 at international events?

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Q: Chovy, this is your second international title — what does it mean for you to win it (and MVP) against T1?

Chovy: I’m happy that we won the MSI title and beat T1, but I’m not trying to find [significant] meaning from this result, because (cont)

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Chovy: "We [also beat T1] at MSI last year but that doesn't mean much. I feel we still need to get our revenge at Worlds."

Ruler: "Similar thought. Beating T1 at Worlds will feel like true revenge."

Faker: I’m sure there are many factors, but I believe that since T1 has a lot of international experience, in comparison to our domestic games, we tend to execute very well on our preparation for that win.

I think that’s why you see us succeed so much at the international level.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Q from FD news: What made their Pyke pick work today?

Keria: I think GEN was able to execute every comp that they pulled out very well today.

Q: Why does T1 do so well at international tournaments?

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Doran: By the middle of the season, I think I was able to adjust quite well, and that’s why we were able to achieve so much.

I think we were able to achieve many good things, but [after this loss] I am still full of regret.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Q: How hard was it to fill the shoes of Zeus, especially going into your first international tournament with T1?
Doran: As I joined T1, it did actually require some adjustment period, especially in the beginning. (cont)

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Q from Ethan Cohen: What do you think about the Game 5 drafts? GEN’s draft looked extremely high-execution.

Tom: I think the comp we were going for is about control. If we are able to take space, the enemy isn’t able to jump at us. I think that’s what we were trying to go for.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Keria (cont): that we weren’t able to execute what we wanted to. My main thought is that starting tomorrow, we have to start preparing for EWC right away.

We just want to do even better against GEN next time we face them — [which could be] right away.

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Faker: Because despite us losing against GEN twice, I believe we are capable of defeating them.

Q from NAmen: Keria: You look the most emotional right now. What are you thinking about? What moment of the game is in your head?

Keria: In-game, I feel the biggest thing is (cont)

NAmen @namencentral.bsky.social · Jul 22

Q from TheScore: Faker, what do you feel T1 needs to do to improve and beat GEN in summer or at Worlds?

Faker: So, throughout this MSI, I believe our team has been doing extremely well, and that’s why this loss is so regretful [and painful] (cont)

Brett: [With every change, we look at], what are the [overall] impacts of this, what can we do to continue to make a better product, if [that’s the best iteration].

And so I think we'll continue to look at that as we think about better international events for the years to come
