On October 17th, the 7th day of the Group stage, KT defeated their last opponent MAD and got first place in Group C with 5-1.







After the game, we have a chance to talk with KT Score.









Q: Congrats on getting first seed of Group C, how are you feeling?





I am pretty happy about getting the first seed but we didn't exactly play too well today.





Q: LCK's Gen. G was disqualified a few days ago, how do you think LCK is doing as a whole?





Since the competition has not ended yet so I can't comment on how they did, only after the tournament ends can I comment on their performances.





Q: Declared by many as LCK’s strongest team, do you feel extra pressure by this?





I don’t think too much of it, however, if we happen to underperform, we will try to adjust.





Q: We had quite a few tiebreakers in the past 2 days, did you prepare to play tiebreakers today?





We actually did do some preparation just after losing to EDG, however, TL took care of it for us (lol)





Q: What type of adjustments did you and your team do after losing to EDG?





Our performance as a whole today was not the best, not just the game with EDG. We will be discussing how to improve after we get back.





Q: What did you think were your biggest mistakes today?





We had poor communication





Q: Ucal and Mata were under the spotlight today while you and Smeb were kind of in the shadows, was this because of the current patch?





It doesn’t have too much to do with the current patch. It was due to individual mistakes, we’ll be addressing this issue later today.





Q: In this current patch, is playing through the mid lane or bot lane more effective?





I can't speak for Quarterfinals but so far most teams have been putting priority in the bot lane.





Q: iBoy said that together with the bot lane of Deft and Mata, you guys are one of the strongest combinations. How are you able to achieve this?





We did especially more preparation playing through the bot lane, so his assessment is correct.





Q: You said in an interview before that you studied TL’s drafts carefully. Why can't NA have unexpectedly good results like EU?





It has nothing to do with Region because TL is a first seed team and they tend not to make any high-risk decisions.





Q: Speaking of TL，Doublelift said he has never made it out of Groups despite being as the contender for so many years, however, he will not give up. As a long rival yourself since S1&S2, what would you like to say to him?





I believe that is a very inspiring statement, if he does manage to leave Groups one day, I will be his fan and cheer for him.





Q: So you finally broke your 2nd place curse in LCK Summer and took first place. Does this give you more confidence coming to this Worlds?





After winning LCK Summer, we have a better attitude going into this Tournament.





Q: Which team do you wish to avoid in the Quarterfinals?





It doesn't matter to me.





Q: So you're still set on winning Worlds?





Even though we weren’t doing well last year, our goal has always been to be World Champions.





Q: Did dying your hair red give you a buff?





Our results have been good, so I guess it did.





Q: What do you like to do outside of the game?





Watch TV and sleep.





Q: What would you like to say to your Chinese fans?





I heard there're lots of KT fans in China. I hope that you will continue to support us during the S8 Worlds. Many thanks.
