As We1less entered the room, he lay on the sofa, sighed with relief and said, “I’m (as tired as) a salted fish.” (*he feels dead tired)

Q: Acorn, this was your first match this season. You helped your team to win and was awarded MVP. How do you feel?

Acorn: I was a bit too nervous before, but I’m doing okay now. I’m very happy that we won.

Q: In the second match, you subbed MaRin for Acorn. Was there any reason for this?

PYL: To be honest, not really. We just thought that our two top laners specialise in different champions. We swapped them around to see if we get different results.

Q: Then what is the difference between MaRin and Acorn?

PYL: In our matches, you can tell that MaRin likes to carry, while Acorn plays tanky champions.

Q: MaRin, you’ve been playing off-meta champions. Was that a team decision or did you just want to play them?

MaRin: On one hand, I liked to play those champions. On the other hand, we’ve played them in scrims before. As for the decision, it was our coach who decided that.

Q: Imp, you played Ezreal aggressively. Why was that?

Imp: Because I’m not a great Ezreal or Lucian player, so I needed be more aggressive.

Q: We1less, in the first game you were constantly getting CC’d, but you still only bought damage items. Why was that?

We1less: Because the damage input is high. (laughs) Sometimes when you have to deal with Lux or Elise in the mid lane, you’d carry cleanse with you. But in that game, we had Morgana, so I only built damage items and took ignite.

Q: Dragon was stolen from you two times in the second game. Were there any problems at the time?

PYL: Our jungler sucks at smiting. (laughs)

Q: LGD isn’t playing as aggressive they were in the previous season. Why is that?

PYL: That’s because 2 new players have joined our team (*MaRin and Eimy). LGD is still working on synergy, so we haven’t determined our playstyle yet.

Q: MaRin, after coming to the LPL, does it feel like other teams are trying to shut you down in games?

MaRin: It really does feel that way. From now on, I will improve my skills (under those circumstances).

Q: How would you rank yourself out of the top laners in the LPL?

MaRin: I haven’t gone against all of the top laners yet, so I’m not that sure.

Q: PYL, you’ve said this before: MaRin likes to play games where all three lanes are carries. Do you find it difficult to divide the resources?

PYL: We have our way of dividing them according to the needs of different champions.

Q: When MaRin plays, who does the shot-calling?

PYL: MaRin shot-calls.

Q: What about Acorn?

PYL: When Acorn plays, we might distribute the shot-calling responsibilities. We all use simple Chinese to communicate with each other.

Q: Right now, LGD isn’t doing too well. What will you do to fix that?

PYL: Um.. We don’t have much time to take a break. (*LPL has a ~2 week break until 18/02 because of Chinese New Year) In that time, we will scrim more in order to win the rest of the year’s matches.

Q: Is winning your first match of the season special to you?

PYL: It’s encouragement for myself. It feels like we finally won a match, because it felt very difficult to win prior to today.

Q: Acorn, your Poppy in the second game won MVP. You intelligently managed to knock the opposing Kalista onto the the wall. How did you do it?

Acorn: You generally have to be accurate with your E. Your opponent can dodge your R, so I just Flash+E.

Q: Poppy was very important in the last team fight. Thoughts at the time?

Acorn: I can’t remember. (laughs)

Q: We1less, what is your opinion on Lux, a champion that you played against in the first game?

We1less: It feels as though as long as I pick Corki, it wouldn’t matter what champion they pick.

Q: Your performance today was as good as it was last year. Are you back in form?

We1less: If we’re talking about recent performance, it is better than when I played in the first week of the LPL.

Q: MaRin, after joining the LPL, do you frequently watch the LCK matches?

MaRin: I don’t watch all of them. I’d pick some good matches to watch.

Q: What do you think of SKT Duke?

MaRin: SKT is having problems with synergy. I believe that, in due time, they will become better and better.

Q: Xiaoxi (*LGD’s jungler sub), how has the coaching team arranged the rotation of the roster?

Xiaoxi: It depends on how well Eimy and I can play.

Q: Do you think that you’re in good form?

Xiaoxi: I’m in very good form, but I don’t know if I can continue my good form for the rest of the year as well.

Q: As a jungler for LGD, is there a lot of pressure on you?

Xiaoxi: There is pressure on me, but pressure can also become a motivator.

Q: We1less, how did your team win these two games today?

We1less: In the first game, my mid opponent was Lux and I was playing Corki. Our jungler and I controlled the top-side jungle and even killed Elise once. This gave an advantage to our top lane, which, in turn, gave an advantage to the mid lane and then we toppled our opponent. As for the second game, we played strong late-game champions.

Q: You have not been performing well. What do you think?

We1less: This is still only the first third of the split. Time will prove everything.

Q: Acorn, in the second game almost all of your opponents dealt physical damage. Why did you buy Spirit Visage?

Acorn: When I play Poppy, there are 3 items that I must get: Iceborn Gauntlet, Sunfire Cape, and Spirit Visage when there is an AP damage-dealer on the other team.

Q: Xiaoxi: In your matches, you regularly help the top lane. Any reason for doing so?

Xiaoxi: Because I think MaRin can carry us.

PYL: (adds) Because MaRin is our shot-caller, when we don’t need the jungler, Xiaoxi would help MaRin gain an advantage in the top lane. This would also aid MaRin’s ability to shot-call.
