Q: What are your thoughts on the victory?
Chovy : First of all, HLE is a strong team and has been in good form recently, so this match was a good opportunity for us to test our own condition. Winning 2-0 feels great.
Q: How do you feel about breaking the record for the highest net win margin?
Chovy : Although we broke the record for the highest net win margin, theoretically, the highest can reach 36 points. This record might be broken in the future, so I don't pay much attention to it. We are more focused on competing for the championship, so this record is not particularly important to us.
Q: Nasus's appearance... What do you think about the lineup in the first game?
Chovy : For the lineup in the first game, especially the top lane choice, Kiin put a lot of thought into it. After considering many aspects, we felt that Nasus was the best choice, so we decided to pick him. As for other parts, it's not convenient to reveal more details.
Q: Do you feel regret for not getting the POG in the first game?
Chovy : Actually, I don't have many thoughts about POG. I personally value my performance in the game more. If I feel that I played well, I am satisfied. In the first game, there was a moment when I stopped Rakan's ultimate. In that situation, Rakan's ultimate was the biggest threat to our team, so I was keeping an eye on his movements.
Q: What was the most impressive play for you today?
Chovy : There was a moment when I used Tristana's jump to dodge Poppy's ultimate. I often failed this move in training, but successfully doing it in the match made me very happy. Also, when chasing Poppy in the mid lane with a forward jump, Poppy didn't have W. I should have used the jump to dodge Ivern's Q skill, but I didn't, which led to me using Flash. This made me a bit regretful.
Q: Why do you still frequently use Tristana after she was nerfed?
Chovy : Firstly, in solo queue, because the patch just updated, I was still testing if Tristana was still viable. Although she was nerfed, there are some priorities and understandings when picking champions. Initially, when Tristana and Corki appeared at the same time, we thought Corki had a higher priority. But after Corki was nerfed, the opponents tended to pick Tristana first, so I used Corki more. Also, Corki was often banned, so there was a bit of alternation between the two. When we thought Corki was better than Tristana, we picked Corki more. Now, when Tristana seems better, she gets banned or picked first by the opponents. Now that she is nerfed, her priority has dropped, so we have more chances to pick her.
Q: What are your impressions of the 2024 LCK Summer Split?
Chovy : Actually, rather than my personal impressions of this Summer Split, I hope to make it a beautiful memory. I always believe that it's impossible to always be the strongest, but I will keep challenging myself to become the strongest. The final result will either be success or failure. In this result-oriented world, everyone is working hard and has good goals and pursuits, but only one team can achieve the goal. All I can do is give my best and hope for a good result.
Q: Although this question might be a bit cliché, what are your thoughts on the playoffs?
Chovy : Yes, my answer might also be a bit cliché. Regarding the playoffs, during the regular season, we tried many different things and expanded our tactical range. Now that it's the playoffs, we might narrow this range and focus on improving our proficiency, building a more solid team.
Q: Do you have anything to say to your teammates who are fighting important matches with you?
Chovy : The playoffs and the World Championship are ahead. If we can win the playoffs, then we can take a break in a happy state of mind, and our condition will be better when we go to the World Championship. So the most important goal now is to win the championship.
