Suning finally displays what we were expecting when their roster was first announced. Today, they take a 2-0 series victory against RNG in their own home stadium in Beijing. This match also marks the first time that Maple and SwordArT faced against their old teammate, Karsa, from the Flash Wolves. SwordArT was intereviewed after this match to answer how he felt in this series.









Q: Did you expect to 2-0 RNG?

SwordArT: All of my teammates are very strong, and I believed in them. We thought of the possibility to win this match.

Q: Since you face against your old teammate Karsa, did you do any type of banter with him before the game?

SwordArT: I've said before that we wanted to play against Karsa on the World stage and we ended up getting disqualified in the group stage. It's not easy to have the opportunity to play against him so we try to learn.

Q: Since you have a more opened personality and Smlz is the exact opposite, how are you two playing together so far?

SwordArT: I think his playmaking abilities are very good. I try to talk more in lane but I completely believe in his ability. I need to catch up to his pace.

Q: Since RNG was very proactive in the early game, how do you face this kind of issue?

SwordArT: Since Karsa focused on XiaoAL in the top lane, we try to do what we can in the botlane. I think we played well in the Dragon fight to stop their momentum.

Q: Were you less worried once you got that 0 for 3 at the Dragon pit?

SwordArT: Yes, because Karsa ganked us once before so we were a little down but we found a very good chance to fight back.

Q: How did you set up that fight at Baron that won you the game?

SwordArT: Mainly because we had very good vision set up around Baron at that time and Jax's teleport position was also very good and that's how we were able to win.

Q: You said before that you wanted to play against RNG Ming the most, how do you feel after playing against him?

SwordArT: I still think he is very strong and his laning is world-class.
