Q: Thoughts on day 1 and EDG’s performance?

Clearlove: Pretty average.



Q: What was the main cause of the loss to SKT?

Clearlove: I think it’s mainly an issue with our champion pools, which led to very large limitations on the pick/ban, and there were major errors as a result. The champs we picked were disadvantaged in all three lanes, which led to a snowball, and a difficult teamfight situation. Even though our line-up has the teamfight advantage after 30 minutes, SKT unfortunately didn’t give us the chance to get there.



Q: Did SKT’s mid-lane substitution have any impact?

Clearlove: I think there was. SKT’s mid lane has a big advantage against Pawn.



Q: You picked Tristana vs. SKT, was this part of a pre-planned strategy?

Clearlove: Considering the opponents have Kalista and Rumble, an ADC without any mobility would be easily controlled in a teamfight, so we picked Tristana.



Q: We also saw EDG pick Lulu, but the Lulu didn’t seem to perform ideally. What are your thoughts?

Clearlove: For Lulu, we originally thought SKT would take Ziggs, but we didn’t expect the Vladimir, which caused problems for Lulu in lane.



Q: In past games, we see EDG typically has good mid-jungle synergy, but we saw you appear a lot in bot lane today. How did you plan this strategy?

Clearlove: Typically jungle goes wherever there is opportunity. Sejuani and Lulu have a hard time ganking Vladimir, especially with Cleanse on Lulu instead of Ignite. Tristana needs help to farm and grow to reach the late game.



Q: Clearlove’s Reksai has 100% winrate in the LPL playoffs. If you had a chance to pick again, would you pick Sejuani or Reksai?

Clearlove: I think if we wanted to invade the jungle I’d’ve picked Reksai, but if we wanted to focus on teamfighting I’d pick Sejuani. They’re two separate champs, and it would depend on the specific situation of the game.



Q: SKT’s two mids have pretty different playstyles, does EDG have specific plans in place to deal with the two mid players?

Clearlove: I think Easyhoon has more options for champ select on the current patch, so if Easyhoon plays it’s hard to counter him. Faker’s champ pool is easier to counter. We had considered the possibility of SKT sending Easyhoon against us.



Q: How is Pawn’s injury?

Pawn: It’s much better than before.



Q: Who would you rather face between Faker and Easyhoon on the current patch?

Pawn: I never really thought about whom I’d rather face.



Q: Even though you lost to SKT in the round robin, it’s very possible you’ll play again in the playoffs. How will EDG handle SKT in the future?

Pawn: We scrimmed with SKT before. Even though we lost today, I think as long as we advance it’s fine. We’re confident we can beat both SKT and TSM if we meet them.



Q: Aaron indicated EDG’s current condition isn’t great in a post-match interview, what specifically is he referring to?

Pawn: Still jetlag. Some team members haven’t been able to rest well. I think as we get used to the time difference EDG will perform better and better.



Q: Will Pawn play some more early-game oriented champs instead of solely late-game focused champs?

Pawn: This is mainly based on what strategy the team employs.

+ Show Spoiler + EDG在今天的焦点战役中输给了SKT，赛后记者对SKT的队员进行了简短的采访，一起来看看他们是如何看待这场比赛的！

Q：评价一下第一比赛日EDG的表现

诺言：我觉得一般般吧。

Q：你觉得打SKT这场输在哪里？

诺言：我觉得主要是英雄池的问题导致B/P有很大的限制，在B/P时出现了不小的失误，选择的英雄在三线都被人压，导致被滚雪球，团战也很难打。虽然我们这个团战在三十分钟之后是很有优势的，但很可惜SKT并没有给我们这个机会。

Q：是不是因为SKT中单换人这一安排有造成一定影响？

诺言：我认为是有的，SKT的中单选手打PawN的话还是有很大优势。

Q：在对阵SKT时，你们是选择了小炮，请问这是既定的战术安排么？

诺言：考虑到对面有卡莉斯塔兰博这样的英雄，如果ADC没有位移技能的打团很容易被限制，所以我们选择了小炮。

Q：同时我们看到EDG还选择了璐璐，但璐璐的发挥似乎并不太理想，对此你怎么看？

诺言：璐璐的话，我们最开始是估算SKT要拿炸弹人的，但没料到对面选择了吸血鬼，导致璐璐本身对线出现了一些难度。

Q：以前得比赛我们看到EDG的中野配合一直比较多，但今天我们却看到你经常会出现在下路。这个战术是如何安排的？

诺言：一般来说打野是哪里更有机会就去哪里，猪女加璐璐配合抓吸血鬼是比较难的，特别是我们的璐璐带得时净化而不是点燃。而我们的下路小炮其实更需要我去帮忙发育，帮忙拖后期。

Q：诺言在季后赛中的挖掘机胜率一度达到了100%，本场比赛如果让你从新选择的话，你会在猪女以及挖掘机中选哪一个呢？

诺言：我觉得要是打野区入侵我是会选择挖掘机的，要是偏向打团我就更倾向选择猪妹。这是两个不同的英雄，还是得根据具体比赛情况而定。

Q：SKT的两位中单选手在风格上其实有很大不同的，请问EDG有针对这两个不同的中单选手制定一定的套路吗？

诺言：我觉得easyhoon在这个版本比faker的英雄选择更多一点，所以easyhoon上场的话很难针对他，而faker的英雄池则比较好针对。所以说skt派出easyhoon来打我们，我们之前也是有考虑过的。



Q：PawN的伤情现在如何？

PawN：我的伤已经比以前好多了。

Q：faker跟easyhoon这两位选手，在目前这个版本你更愿意对上谁？

PawN：对我而言并没有更想对上谁这样的想法。

Q：小组赛虽然输给了SKT，但未来在淘汰赛还是有可能碰上SKT的，之后EDG会如何处理与SKT的比赛呢？

PawN：我们之前也有跟SKT训练，虽然今天的比赛是输掉了，但我认为能够保证出线就行。在未来不论是遇到SKT还是TSM，我觉得都有信心去击败他们。

Q：赛后阿布在接受采访时候表示队伍现在的状态不太好，请问具体是指哪些方面呢？

PawN：主要还是时差问题吧，最近有些队员休息得并不太好。随着组逐渐适应时差，EDG未来的表现会越来越好。

Q：请问pawn在后面的比赛中是否会选择一些前期更凶的英雄，而不是仅是偏后期呢。

PawN：这个主要还是根据队伍的战术需求而定。





Aaron interview as well, video transcript-



Was your draft too conservative?

When we were picking, we originally wanted to draft an aggressive line-up, but after discussing with the players, the Korean players indicated they were still feeling jetlagged and would rather play a more relaxed, protect the carry strat, so we changed our draft.



On LPL, Meiko is known for being Annie. Annie was available going into picks as well, do you think there was a chance there?

One of our plans was to first pick Rek’Sai and then follow up with Annie. But since we changed the draft at the last minute, the other team got to draft Kalista, and since we don’t want to give Kalista and Thresh together, we had to take the Thresh.



SKT had a good counter. Annie is a good counter to Thresh. Bot lane got first blood with a level 2 gank from Clearlove, but then bot lane lost on levels and CS afterwards. What happened?

Clearlove knew Annie had no flash so he got the first blood. Then we switched lanes back to the bot lane. Reksai went to his Red Buff without much HP, so our Sejuani and our Thresh went to interfere, but their support came faster. This actually had a big impact on the game.



Did you consider changing your draft to be more in-line with your normal, high winrate drafts?

The players wanted to play a slightly different line-up today, one due to their condition and also secondly because they’ve played a lot with SKT in practice and wanted to test some new stuff. We’re still pretty confident and ask the fans to not be too worried. EDG lost today’s headline match against SKT.
