Q: As what you said during the last match, you can beat IG if you can play to your potential. What do you think of today's performance? Is it something you expected?

Coach: We just played to what we prepared beforehand. But IG were a lot stronger in lane than we expected.

Q: How do you feel about this rematch against TheShy and how would you rate your performance today?

ADD: When I met TheShy in lane, I could feel that IG were playing around their Top Lane, hence why I had a hard time making plays in the first two games. As for Game 3, in order to not get bullied by Kennen, I picked Gnar. I think my performance today was not bad. I'd like to give myself a 6 out of 10.

Q: IG took Game 2 with a big lead in the Top Lane. How did you adapt in Game 3?

ADD: I was stomped in Game 2, but I was not too concerned since it happens pretty often. In the third game, I just stuck to the plan and picked Gnar.

Q: Why did you ban Akali in three consecutive games?

Coach: In the current meta, Akali is really strong in lane and IG's players are proficient on her, so it's hard for us to handle. That's why we just banned her.

Q: Your Ezreal built some AP items in Game 2 but you didn't do so in Game 3. What's the reason behind that?

Jinjiao: You can hard carry in the mid game if you have some AP items. I built them because we were lacking in AP damage.

Q: You stole the Baron in a 3v5 scenario in Game 1. How did you make that decision as a team?

Meteor: We were going for the Baron fight at the time and luck was on our side.

Q: Who do you think performed best today?

Coach: I'm not going to pick a specific player since we value teamwork a lot. All five players did a good job today.

Q: TheShy played amazingly as Lucian in Game 2. Do you think you’ll pick him up too?

ADD: Personally, rather than picking Lucian, I'd like to find a way to counter him.
