Q. When Raise first came to the team, many fans said that Kongdoo picked you because of your good looks. What do you think?

Raise: I think it’s good that I delivered good performance. I wish that the fans wouldn’t say that anymore.



Q. Your performance is somewhat different from last year. What do you think made that difference?

Edge: Last year, I was greedy, and stood at the front often only to be picked off. This year, I practiced avoiding deaths and put a lot of effort on getting into good positions. I think this is the main reason, not dying.



Q. You were well prepared in your teamwork. Did you prepare fully in specific situations?

R: We played as we prepared. We practiced a lot focusing on mid lane and jungle. I think our preparation was effective.



Q. Your Zoe was great, making the possibility of having Zoe getting banned on future games. How do you think Zoe is?

E: I think Zoe is a good champion. I think she’s a 1 tier champ and that she will continue to be picked in the pro scene.



Q. So did you really believe in Zoe and just swept in with Jarvan?

R: I did, I just said “Hit him” and went in.



Q. Speaking of Jarvan, your Jarvan was different from Ambition’s. What was the difference with your Jarvan?

R: First of all, the early game went well. I liked giving pressure on the lanes with DPS, so I prefer DPS over tank, since we already had a tank at top lane.



Q. When Illaoi was picked, what did you think?

E: Roach was good against Illaoi when we were practicing, so we were happy when they picked him.



Q. At the last fan meeting, Edge danced well. Are you also a dancer?

R: I’ve only played games up to now, but if I get the chance, I’ll practice dancing and show it off. I’ll make sure that I have enough practice on games so that people won’t say I lack gaming practice because of dancing.



Q. Some fans are now saying it’s the 4K generation in the LCK. KSV, Kingzone, kt and Kongdoo. What’s your opinions?

E: It would be an honor.

R: It should be 5K, with SKT T1.



Q. What’s the biggest difference from last year?

E: We tried to strengthen our weaknesses during the off season, and I think that was effective.



Q. Now lastly, to the fans?

R: We’ll do our best to keep up with your expectations, and become one of the favorites.

E: We had a lot of losses last year, but this year, we’ll try hard to become a team with more wins. Thank you.
