Having lost to TOP on the 3rd day of the Demacia Cup, IG had no choice but to continue the tournament through the Loser's Bracket. IG took out Suning and qualified for the opportunity to once again face off against TOP in the Grand Final of the Demacia cup in which they redeemed themselves, taking the series 3-1 against TOP, despite Ning feeling under the weather.





This was the press interview held after the ending ceremony in which Duke speaks about him tilting in game 2, JackeyLove only giving himself a 8/10 for his performance today and Ning playing with a cooling headband to soothe his fever!









Q (To JackeyLove): What would you rank your performance? What was the reason you played so exceptionally today?

JackeyLove: In general, I would give myself a 7-8/10 for my performance today. The reason I played so well is because I slept well.

Q (To Duke): When you picked Aatrox in today's game 3, you played especially aggressive. Why were you playing so aggressive?

Duke: I had a good early game and had the advantage, so it only made sense to play more aggressive later on.

Q (To Duke): Your Jax was very strong once upon a time too, how would you rate the enemy 369's Jax performance?

Duke: I personally don’t think Jax is a very good champion recently. However, I can see that his Jax is very well practiced, and utilized very well.





Q (To Baolan): What does it mean to win the Demacia Cup after winning Worlds?

Baolan: Since IG hasn't won the Demacia Cup in a long time, we hoped to try to win all the trophies we hadn't won before.

Q (To Coach): Due to losing game 1 and Ning being sick, how did the team adjust to these circumstances?

Coach: Due to the experience of the individual players, they had adjusted by themselves accordingly. The Picks and Ban phase were not solely decided by Mafa, but having lost a game, our manager and analyst also participated in the decision making on how to go forward.

Q (To Duke): Even though you were set behind quite a lot in game 2, you still managed to give a good performance in the late game. How did you actualize this performance?

Duke: Actually, after being focused so hard in game 2, I was slightly tilted and as a result I did not communicate with my team much. I am grateful for them winning that game to restore my mentality at that time.

Q (To Duke): It's obvious that you have encountered a very strong opponent. What are you expecting in the new LPL Spring Split?

Duke: Compared to other teams, TOP is a team that has improved the fastest this year. The other teams shouldn't be far behind, next year LPL should be very exciting.

Q (To Ning): Yesterday you guys said you were not strong enough, however you were able to win the trophy today?

Ning: I think it’s quite surprising. I think we won a few games due to TOP not performing optimally. I initially thought we would go home losing 1-3, I don’t know how we ended up winning 3-1. I feel as if they’re not up to form was the reason we won.

Q (To Ning): Did being sick today affect your performance? How did you adjust to that?

Ning: I mainly feel like my body temperature was too high, it was a bit awkward. This slowed my reactions, but putting on my cooling headband helped with my fever so it was not as bad. It wasn't severe enough for me to stop playing. It was worse before.
