LMS Official host interviewed Licorice After the game of Cloud9 vs Detonation Focusme.









Q: you guys ended up today with 2-0, however, the second game was a bit rocky. How do you feel right now?





I am happy that we started with 2-0. Just two victories is a great way to start tournaments. but the thing is definitely rocky, and we have a lot to work on for the next game.





Q: You pick Lissandra as top in the second game, and we think that is the first professional appearance to use Lissandra, why do you choose Lissandra?





We pick Lissandra because something I saw on solo queue, and I like it into Urgot specifically. It's just a matchup I'm comfortable with, and It's also something that the other team is not going to be uncomfortable with. I think that is why I picked it.





Q: So it is a flex pick between mid and top, right? And enemy wouldn't notice it.





Yeah! That's how it works.





Q: In the very last teamfight, you had pretty good flank, was that your decision or your team shoutcalling for you?





That was my decision. I think for our team, a lot of players just kind of shoutcalling themselves what they want to do. So I was just saying like I'm gonna flank here, I'm gonna go as soon as all the runs off, so just follow up, and then we went and won the game of that.
