After the epic first day of the Group B matches, and after Team Dignitas salvaged a chance to advance to the Round of 8 after routing RoMg, Scarra was approached by many reporters for a post-match interview. I received permission from one of the reporters to translate the interview in English, and I hope the readers will enjoy it.

I would like to thank Mr. Kang Sung-gil from DailyeSports for providing and conducting the interview, and you can check out the interview in Korean by clicking on this link.

Translation of the interview:



Team Dignitas regained its pride after defeating RoMg. Although Najin Sword drew the first blood after overwhelming them, Team Dignitas managed to maintain an even standing with one win and one loss. The world-renowned AP player Scarra lived up to his name and crushed RoMg.

Your thoughts on today's matches?



Scarra: I don’t feel very good about them. I was looking forward to the match against Najin Sword but we lost because we didn’t pick the champions very well.



What is the reason for your loss against Sword?



Scarra: The team composition wasn’t very good. We should have grabbed Alistar with the first pick but instead we grabbed Soraka and put ourselves in a disadvantage. We could not afford to make any mistakes with our team composition, but the game tilted towards Najin Sword after we lost the fight for the Dragon.



Do you play Anivia often?

Scarra: I’ve been practicing Anivia often. But honestly I Will Dominate played exceptionally even more so than I did in the third match. I was able to grab the blue buff at level 4 and the laning phase went smoothly. I was surprised that I received the MVP award for that game because I thought I Will Dominate would get it. Anivia is a powerful champion if her walls are placed well.

How do you feel about the Korean teams?

Scarra: Najin Sword was weaker than the other Korean teams that we have been practicing with but we were out-picked and out-banned. It was a best-of-one match so we couldn’t make any mistakes, but I don’t feel good because we lost that way. We will correct our mistakes from today.

How well-known are the Korean teams in the foreign scene?

Scarra: Not very well. The Korean teams haven’t participated in foreign tournaments and it’s difficult to follow them because of the time zone difference. We also can’t practice with them because of ping issues. We are getting to know them.

Do you have any close Korean gamer or someone that you are keeping your eyes on?

Scarra: I like MaKNooN because he’s funny and friendly. I’m also keeping my eyes on WE Misaya. TPA Toys also plays well. We aren’t actively practicing this week but I feel that we are better than WE. We have to advance out of the Round of 16 so we don’t have time to pay attention to other Korean players.

You are a world-renowned AP player.

Scarra: I don’t agree with that. LG-IM MidKing, Xenics Storm ManyReason, and CLG.EU Froggen are exceptional with Anivia. I’m more confident with Ryze, Karthus, and Katarina. I also try to be an asset to my team and my team-members who play well.

What are you plans throughout the tournament?

Scarra: We plan on staying in Korea. There are other tournaments in the US but we probably wouldn’t qualify because of the ping issue. I’m going all-in on this tournament and we look forward to improving during our stay here.

Do you have anything to say to the fans?

Scarra: I’m sorry to the fans for playing poorly against Najin Sword. It was the worst game that I’ve played in three weeks. We are confident that we will advance into the Round of 8. If we do, I hope more people will pay attention to us. We will show what Team Dignitas is all about.
