As the last game today, RNG defeated the defending champion Gen.G with one excellent teamfight in the late game. The mid-laner Xiaohu was interviewed right after this game.

Q: First of all, let’s cool down a little bit. You actually look pretty calm right after this game. I remember last year when RNG won the match and we were here nervous and shaking. Why you are so calm this year?

Xiaohu: We were not a very strong team last year. But this year, we feel much more confident. That’s why I am calm.

Q: It has been a year, what do you think are the big changes to you and your team?

Xiaohu: I think the gap between LCK and LPL is getting closer and closer, and this year, we can really compete with each other.

Q: Let’s talk about this match, the whole playstyle of this game is very cautious, you guys played very safe from the beginning, and why was that?

Xiaohu: I think it is because our picks were not that strong early game. Lulu and Olaf from Mid and Jungle can be aggressive early game, so there was not much we can do early. In the late game, it was actually our advantage, but we didn’t do that well. That’s something we need to rethink.

Q: You actually played very smoothly early game, but why you got caught in that fight?

Xiaohu: I think I was deceived by the visions. We got a couple of visions from their base, but I had no idea where Lulu was coming from, I think Lulu was smart about that.

Q: Let’s talk about that teamfight at the end, you as a team member, how did you make the decision back then? How did you think it is the time to end the game?

Xiaohu: The last teamfight, we’ve knocked out Xayah’s ult and Quicksilver, but she was still teasing in the mid lane, which gave us the chance there. It just happened they have two men down and the second turret was almost gone as well. So we just grabbed our chance there.

Q: Including the training and all the pre-games, you have been coming out for a long time, do you miss playing games at home in Beijing? And how do feel about the crowd here today?

Xiaohu: To be honest, even I am here in Korea, but there are no big differences than playing at home. There are lots of Chinese fans here and they are very excited. It just didn’t make big difference playing here.

Q: It’s already really late in the local time, do you have anything to say to the fans?

Xiaohu: Thank you very much for coming this far to support us. We can’t make it this far without the support from all of you. Be safe when you going home tonight, and we will bring more great plays tomorrow and the day after.

Q: One more last question which is not so relevant, I asked Uzi about his diet yesterday, so let’s talk about your hairstyle. Any plans getting your hairs done?

Xiaohu: I’ve missed my best time doing it. I was thinking to shave it all off right after getting this done earlier, but someone stopped me. It grows longer now and is not that curly. So I think it is fine.

Q: Thanks. And hope you guys take good rest. Congratulations to RNG again!
