In the match against T1 in the first round of the 2024 LCK Summer Season held at LoL Park in Seoul's Jongno District on the 12th, HLE's Viper expressed in a victory interview: "I believe that we have advantages in every game, except for the second game. Our draft has been successful in every game except the second one. If we can win in team fights in the late game, we can win the game. And that's exactly what happened, so I feel very lucky."

Regarding the victory over the team known as the "LCK Big Three" this year, Viper stated: "They just won another championship at another major tournament recently, so this victory is significant in itself." He continued: "After today, we will meet this team again in the playoffs, so continuing to win is very important. Regardless of the score, winning itself is encouraging."

Especially on this day, Peanut's value was fully demonstrated in the game. As an experienced jungler, although he was targeted with 3-4 bans by the opponents in each game, he still fulfilled his tasks well. Viper praised: "This is a great help to the team. Bans on specific positions themselves are very beneficial to other players, and being able to perform well in this situation is very impressive as a teammate, and it's also a big threat to other teams." He also said that if he were the opponent, he would be very angry watching Peanut's Poppy performance.

In addition, Viper's Ezreal also performed exceptionally well on this day. Although he was not chosen as the Player of the Game (POG), his performance was still very impressive. Viper explained: "There are some plays that only Ezreal can make, which are very charming in the current patch. Depending on how you execute them, he can be a very threatening champion. And as for the current bot lane meta, to counter Ezreal, there are constantly new options appearing. If you don't pick Ezreal, you need to study how to play against champions like Caitlyn or Kai'Sa. Of course, each team has different strategies."

In this summer season, HLE is different from previous seasons as they quickly entered their peak form early in the season. In the past, HLE usually started to perform well in the later stages of the season, but this time they quickly improved and maintained their high level of play. Viper commented on this: "We haven't fully exploded yet, we can do better." He added: "Although we won 2-1, there are still many areas that need improvement. Compared to today's performance against T1, our team still has unsatisfactory aspects, which are more important going forward." He showed a humble attitude.

Finally, Viper expressed gratitude to the fans: "Thank you for your support. We will give our all not only in the LCK Summer Season but also in the World Championship." And the interview came to an end.
