inLoL.de: Firstly, could you introduce yourself?

My name is Martin “Deficio” Lynge. I’m 21 years old and the support for Copenhagen Wolves.

inLoL.de: How did you get into computer gaming and how did you find to LoL?

I have been playing computer games since I was a little kid, I started out with stuff like Heroes 3 and Age of Empires 2. I didn’t get into competitive gaming before starting on LoL. I have been playing since the start and always been among the higher ranks of solo queue. I didn’t take the game too serious in the start until I created Copenhagen Wolves as the manager, and once I took the spot as support I have been working hard every day.

inLoL.de: When did you start to realize that you could become a pro player in LoL?

Once I stepped in as support and we started seeing good results with TheTess. I realized we fit each other and after qualifying to LCS I knew this would be my life for the next many months.

inLoL.de: Did you see a change in the impact of the support player from S2 to Season 3 and how do you see the support role’s future?

There are a lot more support options in S3. Even weird choices like LeBlanc or Elise support works now. Back in S2 the meta was more locked and you often rotated through 3-4 different supports, now there are more than 10 viable supports and everyone builds differently. The support role is looking good for the future, a lot more mechanics are required and a lot more lane control than before, I love it.

inLoL.de: What bot combo do you hate most and why?

I hate being against a Blue side Draven / offensive support. If they manage to get level 2 before you they can zone you hard. I really dislike playing against Zed as well, simply due to the fact he can instant gib your ADC unless you play a support with shield / heal.

inLoL.de: How would you describe your playstyle?

My playstyle is hard to describe. I try to mix it up depending on which lane combo / support I play. I don’t mind playing the passive lane, nor do I mind the offensive. I prefer playing champions like Thresh though, I love being able to make the big plays, being it both offensive with hook or defensive with lantern.

inLoL.de: Your next match is against SK-Gaming in the LCS. How do you train for it? Is there a special tactic? Do you see a real chance?

Playing against SK Gaming is always hard for us. They are playing almost flawless, which means it’s very hard to turn the game around if you get behind. We don’t have a special tactic against them, but we have a few key things that we have to sort before the match. Ofcourse I see a real chance, we don’t fear any team at the moment, hopefully it will be a great game and another Wolves win!

inLoL.de: You ended the LCS Week 6 with 3-0. How is the feeling in the team?

Fantastic! Everyone is very happy and satisfied that our hard work paid off. We know we still have a long way to go, luckily the motivation is at the top.

inLoL.de: Your current place is the fifth. Are you firstly fine with it? Or are you going for more?

We can’t really complain about being #5 after our terrible start in LCS. Our goal before the season was top 6, so overall it’s looking pretty good now. That being said, we are hunting for more. Both EG and SK on nr. 3-4 are within our reach and it would be amazing to get in top 4.

inLoL.de: Your performance against EG was brilliant. What do you think on your own, was the key effect of the game?

The key effect to us beating EG was our split push tactic. Zed is one of the best 1v1’s in the game, and seeing as Bjergsen is such a skilled Zed player, EG simply couldn’t handle him. Wickd died 1v1 to him which meant they always had to send atleast 2 players to stop his pushing, that resulted in us taking down free turrets mid / bot and keep the gold even with EG all the time.

inLoL.de: The first weeks of the LCS weren’t the best for you. Is your team doing videoanalysis after a LCS week? How do you try to do better?

We watch replays of every game we played and every game our next opponent played. We always try to analyze our own mistakes and try to improve them through first talking, and then testing out solutions in scrims.

inLoL.de: After the exciting match against EG you stood all together. It looks like a good friendship. Over what did you conversate exactly?

We simply thanked each other for the amazing game and discussed the turning point of the game (The last 2 teamfights). We are all friends and it was amazing to see EG smiling after such a game, they are truly an elite team in every level.

inLoL.de: Thank you for the interview! Is there something what you wanna say to your fans?

Thanks a lot for your support! Without the fans LoL wouldn’t be anywhere near where it is now, keep it up and hope I’ll see some of you at LCS!
