Q: What are your thoughts after the match?
Coach Dandy: We lost to KT today despite our good winning streak, which is very regrettable.
Peanut : We had been on a winning streak, and I thought our preparation for Shyvana was very good today. But in the official match, it felt somewhat different, and it seems that some aspects were not done well, which is very regrettable.
Q: How did you prepare for Shyvana? In what aspects do you feel regretful?
Coach Dandy: First, we chose Shyvana because her stats and performance in solo queue and other leagues were very good. We also performed well during practice, so we decided to use her in the match. However, due to some other issues, we did not utilize her well, and we need to analyze this in more detail when we go back.
Peanut : I also think Shyvana's stats are good and that she is a very good choice. We performed well in practice, which increased our confidence. But in today's first game, we lost the team fight at the first dragon, and from that point, Shyvana's effectiveness was reduced because we were somewhat targeted by Senna and Nidalee. In the third game, we did not specifically practice against Ivern in scrims. In the first game, we thought Ivern's matchup against Shyvana was manageable, so we banned Ivern. In the third game, we faced Ivern and wanted to find a better AP jungler, but in the end, we still thought Shyvana was good and chose her. We still feel that we should have done better in the draft.
Q: How do you plan to review this failure?
Coach Dandy: Although it is ideal for the team to identify and improve on problems during a winning streak, these issues usually do not become apparent during continuous victories. So, through this failure, we can re-examine our perceived hero priorities and matchups, or our shortcomings in the match. This failure gives us a learning opportunity, and I think it is a fruitful failure. Using this failure as a turning point, we will show better performance in the upcoming matches.
Q: Your next opponent is NS?
Coach Dandy: Our team will go back and analyze the reasons for today's failure, reorganize our hero priorities, play to our strengths, and make thorough preparations.
Peanut : I agree. Through today's failure, we will re-examine the match, check how we can better prepare, and identify areas where we can improve to prepare for the upcoming matches.
