In Week 2 of the League of Legends Pro League in Shanghai, we had LGD taking down OMG, Royal Never Give Up charming Snake, EDward Gaming dismantling Game Talents and OMG returning to form against I May. LGD's Chen "Pyl" Bo, RNG's Liu "Mlxg" Shi-yu, EDG's Zhao "Fireloli" Zhi-Ming and OMG's Hu "xiyang" Bin weighed in after their games, discussing their paths to victory and champion picks.

*Interviews were conducted during the live broadcast of the LPL.

How do you feel after your victory [over OMG]?

Pyl: It was kind of normal. Nothing special.

In other leagues, like the [League Championship Series], Ivern is always banned or picked. Today, we saw his debut in the LPL. Why did you pick Ivern?

Pyl: Because our two jungling players have different styles. We played Ivern in our practice scrims a lot and we like it.

In the second game, you let OMG have Rengar. Why is that? It's a very popular champion nowadays.

Pyl: We think Kha'Zix can beat Rengar. We just have to make sure that we don't die too often in the early stage.

Many fans care about LGD's top lane performance. What do you think about [Li "Punished" Yuan-Hui]?

Pyl: I think Punished was a little nervous during the game. He needs to play more games. I believe in his potential.

Why did you choose Ivern today? You don't usually use him.

Mlxg: I think Ivern is better for our team composition.

Do you think Ivern is a Tier 1 jungle champion?

Mlxg: Ivern is more like a team-oriented champion. And he's easy to play. So I think -- yeah -- Ivern is not bad.

Ivern or Kha'Zix? Which champion do you prefer?

Mlxg: It depends on what we need [for our team composition].

Your team seems different before and after the holiday. What did you do? Any secret training?

Mlxg: Our communication is much better.

Who's in charge of shot-calling for the team?

Mlxg: Ming, for sure.

You're also a food blogger [in your spare time]. How do you keep fit when you're cooking food at midnight?

Mlxg: I sleep [very] little and very late. It must be something wrong with my body.

What a dramatic game [against Game Talents]! How do you feel now?

Fireloli: Very happy. But also very unhappy. I feel like the audience is making me really nervous.

In the second game, when you were playing Elise, you bought Sorcerer's Boots. But you chose Boots of Mobility in the third game. Why is that?

Fireloli: I just got enough money, 1,100 [gold] for the Sorcerer's Boots at that time. In the third game, I didn't have any kills, so I bought Boots of Mobility with 900 [gold]. It's always better to have Sorcerer's, since it can maximize the damage. It's [also] better for Elise.

In the second game, GT had some technical problems with the picks and bans. What were you thinking at that time?

Fireloli: [I was thinking] people will say we cheated.

Who's the best singer on your team?

Fireloli: Me, for sure.

Here's a question from one of your fans. What did you choose to play during the Spring Festival? Mahjong or League of Legends?

Fireloli: No, we did not play League of Legends during the holidays. Koro is our best Mahjong player, by the way. He plays a lot.

You played Shen during the game. What kind of advantages does Shen have when it's facing Nautilus?

Xiyang: In the mid-game, their three AP champions couldn't damage me when I had magic resistance items.

With so much pressure in the top lane, how did you find time to gank other lanes?

Xiyang: That's how I play Shen. I always look at the mini-map, so I can help my teammates.

During the game, even when your opponents had dragon buffs, you still caught Orianna. What happened?

Xiyang: Our jungle champion helped me and I just needed to [use] taunt and control the enemies.

Why did you choose three AD champions?

Xiyang: We had some poke champions that can draw lots of damage.

So do you like three AD lineups?

Xiyang: Yes. Maokai won't die and we can cause tons of damage with Maokai's help.
