Chobra: First off, could you introduce yourselves please?
Shy: Hello, I'm the Top Lane player for Azubu Frost, Sang-Myeon Park
MadLife: Hi, I'm MadLife, in charge of Azubu Frost's Support role. My name's Min-Gi Hong
RapidStar: I'm RapidStar (Min-Sung Jung) in charge of the Mid Lane
Woong: I'm Woong, the AD Carry for Azubu Frost
CloudTemplar: I'm CloudTemplar, and I'm in charge of the Jungle for Azubu Frost
Chobra: So the first question is for Rapidstar
In Korea, the phrase "Indeed RapidStar is the Best" has become popular
while in America, Reginald had said "I'm the best AP Mid in the World."
Now that you played against him, what are your thoughts,
do you think the Korean phrase is true now?
RapidStar: Well, I have to say after playing against him at least his Karthus is the best in the world.
Chobra: So MadLife, from NA we only get to see you on stream
and you're always very calm and serious looking on screen.
Is this because you're trying to focus, or is that how you are at home too?
MadLife: What I've come to realize after these tournaments,
is that in game, I focus on the moment
and I play as if that's the last game I play in this world.
I think that's why I look so serious.
At home and everyday life, I'm not like that.
CloudTemplar: Really? REALLY??
Chobra: Woong, you've been the captain, but since the roster switch
you had to take care of the picks and bans. How has that been and
there's been much discussion about seriousness,
what is your role as captain in that?
Is that mostly the coach/manager's role?
Woong: Regarding team environment and attitude, I give much credit to our coach.
For picks/bans, I only hold the title of caller, but we discuss it as a team.
We also do our research together as a team.
Chobra: Shy, for a while in Korea you said you wanted to play against Dyrus,
saying you respected him and wanted to consider him your rival.
You beat him in both games today, so how do you feel?
Has your opinion changed?
Shy: No, my opinion hasn't changed.
As for today, I think I was simply in better condition.
I wonder if maybe Dyrus wasn't in good shape today.
Chobra: Let's talk about the games. In Game 1,
you guys were playing quite well until late game, where TSM had some very good teamfights.
TSM continued to fight back even at their inhibitors.
What were you guys thinking at that moment?
CloudTemplar: Honestly, our composition required us to put a lot of pressure on them.
We thought the game would be easy after the Inhibitors fall down.
But as TSM turtled, we realized we couldn't win if the game continued longer.
At some point, we got into a teamfight, and it was looking good...so we won [laughs]
Later our coach told us that we in fact had a huge gold lead
so we probably could have fought earlier with more confidence.
I think maybe we ran away too often.
Chobra: Then in Game 2, TSM took a very good lead
especially with their First Blood.
What enabled you to make a comeback, was it anything special
or did you just tell yourselves "Stay strong, we can win later."
Woong: The moment when we found hope for a comeback was in bottom lane
where we fought 3v3. Skarner gave us a really good counter-gank
and our focus was a lot better than in scrims too.
The good result from there helped a lot.
Also, personally I think the time in Mid
where Vladimir was cut off, and he turned around, ulting all 5 opponents was a huge factor.
Chobra: Before we go, I noticed earlier some of you do have girlfriends back in Korea.
Did you guys want to send them a message here?
Shy: I don't know if you'll watch this interview...but
this is the first time I'm saying this officially,
I love you a lot. I think I'm very fortunate to have met you. Thank you!
MadLife: This is the first time I've flown out of the country,
and despite the time difference, thank you so much
for watching the games early in the morning and cheering for me.
Also thank you for supporting me every time I'm having a hard time as a pro-gamer.
I love you!
Chobra: It seems like you guys made a lot of new fans after your time here in America.
Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans worldwide?
RapidStar: We're always thankful for all of our fans who cheer for us.
I also want to thank our fan site on naver.com.
Your posts on the fan site encourage us a lot whenever we visit.
We will continue to work harder to bring you even better games in the future.
Thank you.
