Koro talks about EDG's early game inconsistency + Show Spoiler + How do you feel about your performance in this last game as a whole? Koro: I'm pretty happy. You showed a few mistakes in the beginning of your first game that you were able to come back from but the second game seemed to go more smoothly in your favor. Comparing these two games - did you feel like your performance on Gnar was better than Maokai? Or is it the other way around? Koro: I feel like I played pretty decently with both champions. Wow, so un-modest! Koro: I was better on Maokai~ You've been using champions like Gnar, Rumble and Maokai frequently. In the past two weeks, your performance has been really spectacular! Who's your favorite champion of all the champions available in the game? Koro: Probably Maokai. Why is that? Koro: In terms of lane-swapping, and 1v1s, he's really strong. He's also really good in team fights. Especially in the LPL, where there are constantly lane-swaps. In a 2v1, Maokai doesn't falter. Koro: Yep~ And in a team fight, Maokai is able to fit the tank role perfectly. He's a very good champion to use. Koro: Also, he has good crowd control and can initiate these team fights. EDG has been performing really well in the LPL. Last week, you were able to achieve 6 wins in a row. Including today's matches, you've won 8 games in a row! It's like you won't even give the other teams a chance. Are you happy with your results so far? Koro: I'm pretty satisfied. If there are some other areas where you can improve, where would that be? Koro: In terms of improving, we have to work on the tempo of our early game. We can't keep making mistakes early on. So you have to be more consistent in your early game. Koro: Yes, yes. And with that in mind, you probably hope that your entire game can go more smoothly as a whole. Koro: Yes, it seems like we always have some early-game problems. After winning two titles last year, EDG's performance this year hasn't shown signs of being any more inferior. And after adding your two Korean players, I feel like your performance has been even more consistent! Do you think your team's play style has changed from last year? Koro: It's mainly our mid-lane that has a different play-style from last year. U leaned more towards mage champions. Pawn likes champions that have escapes. He also seems to like champions that can poke. Koro: Yep~ So what's your goal? Your record is already excellent. What's your goal for this year? Koro: For this year? This year's goal is definitely Season 5's championship title. Wow, that's ambitious! But I'm sure only players who are strong would say something like that. We hope that EDG will work hard - and we hope that you - Koro - will work hard. Koro: Thank you. Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/91559 We1less on Anivia and the importance of team composition + Show Spoiler + Welcome back! Today, LGD succeeded in achieving a 2-0 victory. We'll be interviewing LGD's mid-laner We1less. Hello! We1less: Hi. Say hi to everyone! We1less: Hi everyone. I'm LGD's mid-laner We1less. First, I want to congratulate you. Today, you secured a beautiful 2-0 victory. If I had to describe these two games you played today briefly, it'd be "amazing to watch." Both games were really exciting! Could you talk to us briefly about the first game? I feel like that one had a lot to do with your team composition. We1less: Acorn chose Kennen in order to fight Gnar. And I got to lane as Lissandra, who is really OP right now. Our bot-lane composition was also really good. In fact, our composition was a bit inadvertent because we haven't really used it in practice before. So you haven't used it in scrims either? We1less: That's right. But by contrast, the results worked out really well for you! We1less: Yes, because once you force apart the other team's composition, it's very difficult for them to fight back. There was great moment where you managed to hide away from Xerath's ultimate. Everyone on Weibo was praising you, saying "We1less is too awesome!" I'm sure those who love Lissandra have learned a lot from this game. In the second game, you chose Anivia. What made you choose her? We1less: My entire champion pool was banned away from me.. Oh, it was because of that? You really had no choice. We1less: That's right. VG really seemed to understand us. They banned away my Zed, Ahri and Kassadin. Seems like they were really targeting you! We1less: And then they took Leblanc so I was wondering what I should pick. So I took a look and realized they had an engage composition, which Anivia counters. Their ADC had no escape and their support had no escape either. So they have to deal with Anivia's W. Have you practiced Anivia in scrims? We1less: Once in a while, I use her. How do you think you performed on her today? We1less: I did okay. I think my use of Anivia's W was a bit lacking though. It looked like your second game used a lot of champions that aren't commonly used but the results weren't too bad. We1less: Yes, but we didn't think this was going to happen either. LGD's performance last week didn't look too great. What did you do after the games were over? Did you hold a team meeting? We1less: Yes, last week, we lost both of our best of twos. We were disappointed and so the team atmosphere wasn't so great. We wanted to use this week to fix certain things. Everyone talked about their concerns, and we tried to understand all of the mistakes we made last week. As a result, we became a lot stronger. I can see after making some changes, your team looked really good today. These two games were played beautifully. We hope you can continue this down the line. We1less: Yes~ Thank you We1less for interviewing with us. Let's congratulate LGD for achieving a 2-0 victory one last time! Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/91582 | ||

OMG's Cool wishes you a Happy New Year (and for you to give him money)! + Show Spoiler + Welcome back! We'll be interviewing OMG's mid-laner Cool today. Why don't you start things off by saying hi to everyone? Cool: Happy New Year everyone. I'm Cool. Happy New Year to you too! How do you feel wearing a traditional golden Tang jacket? Cool: I feel like I'm a lot taller and imposing, as a whole. Some workers here have said that this golden Tang jacket looks a lot like the emperor's court robe. It has a very traditional feel to it. Anyway, today, you played beautifully - you managed to pick up the champion you're known for - Ahri. Well, let's talk about the first game. Your first game was really a bit of a shame. We're not talking about losing or winning. Both sides played wonderfully. It was a really exciting match and we really enjoyed watching it! Could you tell us briefly what happened in the first game? Cool: Well, first off, in our first game, there might've been some problems in picks and bans that left us unsatisfied. We didn't get the choices we necessarily wanted. Another thing is we made some mistakes in the jungle and our mentality became more unstable and impatient. So it went down like that and we lost the game. [reference: in the early game, We1less roamed around in red-side jungle as Ahri and managed to secure a triple kill] After the first game, did you have a team-meeting to make corrections? It looked like you were able to fix your mentality in the second game. Cool: After playing the first game - and when all is said and done - we've played a lot of games, fixing our mentality is a very simple and easy process. We just hope that when we play, we aren't too anxious. This is the advantage of being a veteran team. Their experience in big tournaments can help them fix their problems. You seemed to have played more aggressively. Did you feel like your team composition was better this time around? Cool: Compared to the first game, our team composition in the second game was really good. You managed to get a solo-kill with Ahri early on. Was it because you were restrained a lot in the first game? You couldn't tolerate it anymore, right? Haha. How would you rate your Ahri in this last game? Cool: I'll give myself 70% because in the mid-lane, even though I was playing aware, I still ended up playing a little too unrestrained. As a result, I was caught out. But you were still able to stay consistent until the end. After watching a few team-fights, it seemed like everyone played pretty well. Everyone did what they were supposed to do. So it was still successful. OMG seems to have completed their last game in the year of the Horse. Cool: I also want to wish everyone a happy new year. I also wish you a prosperous new year. Also, give me red envelopes. Right here, in front of me, is an online payment that links to my bank account. I hope everyone will give me some money, haha. [恭喜發財 "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (have a prosperous new year) / 红包拿来 “Hong Bao Na Lai" (give me red envelopes) is a joke rhyme that children often use after wishing their family a prosperous new year so that they can get their red envelopes chock full of money right after)] You really think our workers will put an online payment form in this video? No worries, I know it's just a joke. Now to my main point - are you happy with your teammates' performances today? Cool: Losing game one today was really a shame. We originally thought we could get those three points. After losing the first game, you could say that we didn't achieve the goal we intended. Don't worry. Work harder in the upcoming New Year! We hope to see more outstanding performances from you all in the New Year! Thank you for interviewing with us today, Cool! LPL Week 5 Day 2: iG's Kid on carrying with Ezreal + Show Spoiler + Congratulations to iG for their 2-0 victory over Star Horn Royal Club! Today, we'll be interviewing their ADC, Kid. Hi! Kid: Hi. I'm iG's ADC. Your quadrakill was amazing. What made you choose Ezreal in both games? It seems like he's the champion you're known for nowadays. Kid: In the first game, I wanted to try out using Ezreal against Corki. When I play this match-up normally, I don't feel like the pressure is that big. So I just decided to try it out for a game. And you probably felt like the results weren't too bad! Kid: Yeah, I felt pretty good. So I continued using him in the second game. In this patch, do you think Ezreal is a strong choice right now? Kid: Not really. But the main thing about Ezreal is that he's hard to kill in team fights, and he's able to put out mixed damage. I feel like you've brought him back, though! You played pretty well with him. After winning your first game, your manager was pretty anxious in the interview. He said: "Hopefully, they won't lose after my interview." But I feel like this was a little much - you performed excellently today! If you had to choose a MVP today, who would it be? Kid: Hm... our top laner, probably. Pokemon? Why did you choose him? Kid: Because he didn't make any big mistakes today, for once. But to be honest, if you think about it carefully, the top laner has to make sure he farms well, he has to make sure he's the stable foundation within the team and he has to make sure he's a good frontline for the team. He did really well today in these two games, especially in his second game as Mundo. I feel like iG really returned to form lately, including yesterday where your performances were okay. Are you all satisfied up until now? Kid: It was okay. Winning today makes things okay. Yesterday, you managed to tie 1-1. Did you have a team meeting afterwards? Kid: Yes we did. We had a small meeting. Your manager also stated that you have three matches in three days this week! It must've been challenging on your mentality and play. Do you feel like the pressure is bigger? Kid: It's not bad. We just pretend it's like scrims. So this way, you can end the Year of the Horse with satisfied, right? Kid: Yes. Let's cheer for iG and cheer for Kid! We hope you stabilize your mentalities and play hard tomorrow! Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/91709 | ||

Snake's Flandre on using Morgana top lane + Show Spoiler + Welcome back everyone! Today we'll be interviewing the top-laner that just managed to secure a 2-0 victory - Flandre! Hello! Flandre: Hi everyone~ I am Snake's top laner, Flandre. This is my second time interviewing you. I want to congratulate you for achieving another full three points for each game today. How are you feeling right now? Flandre: I'm pretty happy~ This also counts as your last game in the Year of the Horse. You used Morgana top for both games. When I interviewed your manager in between games, he said that you use Morgana because she has good wave clear. Is that true? Flandre: Morgana is the type of champion who is good in lane-swaps because she can resist the pressure of 2v1s. So it's not necessarily because of what your manager said. Flandre: Maybe a little bit.. We don't really see Morgana often played this way. Where do you think her strengths lie? Flandre: I feel like this champion, without interference of the jungler, can defeat any lane opponent. Ah, so she's not afraid of anyone? Flandre: That's right. And when fighting in a team-fight, she's really good at protecting our carries. As a top laner, she's not bad! Maybe our viewers can try her out top lane~ You have a long journey to go in the new year but I feel like Snake has been performing really well, staying in the top three for a long time already. Are you satisfied thus far with your performances? Flandre: We're very satisfied. Did your performance exceed your expectations? Flandre: Yes, since our original goal was just to get a good enough record to stay in the LPL. [reference: Snake came from the LSPL, the Chinese challenger scene and their original goal was just to get enough points to remain in the LPL, but they've exceeded everyone's expectations by remaining top three throughout the season] But Snake has proven to be the biggest dark horse in this tournament so far. Is it true that you play ADC more in ranked games? Flandre: I play top lane less than you'd think in ranked games. What do you think the biggest difference is between an ADC and a top laner? Flandre: I think the top laner is harder to catch out. What do you mean? Flandre: Every time I play ADC, I get caught out and killed. Haha. Yes, ADC's are usually weaker in that aspect. But in terms of damage dealt, ADCs usually shine, right? Flandre: This is true. Now I feel like Flandre has been an outstanding top laner and has done what he's needed to do in his role. Now you have a lot more games down the line so I wish you a smooth journey, all right? Flandre: Thank you. We at Snake wish everyone a happy new year! Ah, sorry! I forgot to ask you to say happy new year to everyone. Especially since it's also the last game in the Year of the Horse. We wish our audience a happy new year and we wish you a happy new year as well! In the New Year, we hope you continue performing well! Flandre: Work hard, everyone~ Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/91833 From Starcraft to League of Legends: M3's Lovecd + Show Spoiler + Welcome back to League of Legends Spring 2015 Championship! I'm Baobao and we'll be interviewing the winner of the last match, M3's support, Lovecd! Hello~ Lovecd: Hi everyone. I'm M3's support Lovecd. We saw you play two games of Thresh. What was your thought process going into these two games playing him? Lovecd: I felt like I needed a champion with the ability to initiate fights and contribute in team fights in order to help my team secure the win. A champion with a lot of crowd control, right? Lovecd: Yes. The LPL is already in its fifth week. What do you think about your synergy with your ADC? Lovecd: It's not bad. Our synergy is already getting there. But we need more practice in lane in order to improve our synergy together. Do you scrim a lot? Lovecd: Actually, we scrim from morning to night. Wow, that's really intense. So what you're saying is you'll organize scrims with other teams that also play in the LPL, right? Lovecd: That's right. Or we'll also organize scrims with some Korean teams as well. Right now, our team is in the middle of the pack. That means we need a lot of practice in order to improve. As a whole, M3's performance has been pretty remarkable. What were your goals when you first entered the LPL? Lovecd: Our aspiration was definitely the championship title. If it isn't for the championship title, then there's no point. If we're not working towards that, then it's like wasting time. I just hope that after this one year of working hard, I can really validate myself as a player. I'm sure every player has the dream of achieving the championship title. Some of our players are a bit more modest about it and might say, "Ah, if we have a good enough record to stay in the LPL, I'll be fine with that." But I'm sure everyone wants the highest rank. I feel like, as a support, you've been very consistent. And I know that you've played other games professionally before. Why did you decide to choose League of Legends? Lovecd: I've always been more interested in games that involve teamwork. At the time, the game I chose didn't develop as economically well in China (Starcraft & Warcraft). So I wanted to take advantage of the time I had to be a professional player. I chose to switch to a different game and with hard work, I hope that I can validate myself as a player. I really admire a player like you. You've remained persistent on your journey and you've never let go of your dream. Work hard next year, since this'll be your last game in the year of the Horse. Why don't you wish everyone a happy early new year? Lovecd: Lovecd wishes you a happy new year and a prosperous new year! Best wishes! You're also wearing some very fashionable traditional clothing. We hope that you will spend the time relaxing to make some changes so that M3 can perform better and better! Lovecd: I will~ Thank you for interviewing with us, Lovecd! | ||

Yes, thank you so much Rach. As LPL's english coverage is currently so poor, offering subtitles in VODs of China's pre-game coverage would be fantastic. I promise there would be a ton of demand for it too. I don't know if I can subtitle VODs every week, since it's so time consuming x| but we'll see. | ||

VG's Carry rates DanDy and Mata & talks about his time off during New Years! + Show Spoiler + Welcome back! My name is Baobao. We'll be interviewing the top-laner that just secured a 2-0 victory, Carry My Team! Hi~ why don't you greet everyone first? Carry: Hi there. Hi everyone. I'm VG's top laner Carry My Team. It seems like this is our first time interviewing you. Carry: Haha, that's true. So let's first congratulate you! You managed to get a full three points for each game, and win two games in a row. How are you feeling right now? Carry: I'm so happy. Your Rumble in this last game was really spectacular. But let's talk about the first game. Who do you think performed the best? Carry: In the first game, our mid-laner, Mata and ADC all performed pretty well. Would you choose yourself for the second game? Carry: In the second game, it'd be DanDy and me. These two games went pretty smoothly for you. VG has had their share of 2-0 victories against iG, and against King. Today, you've 2-0ed EP, which also counts as the first victory in the Year of the Sheep. Is it because you really did your homework during your week off celebrating New Years? Carry: To be honest, we didn't really. We were like the majority of players. We went home to spend time with our relatives, to wish a Happy New Year to our family, and to get red envelopes. So did you get a lot of red envelopes this year? Carry: I think... I'm at the age where I'm not supposed to get red envelopes anymore. Haha. So are you at the point where you're supposed to give red envelopes? Carry: Yes, yes. Haha. But we can see that Vici has changed a lot, winning both games and getting a full three points for each game. Now there were some champions that we haven't seen often in the season, like Veigar and whatnot. You must've made some changes to the team with this new patch. Carry: Absolutely. After we finished celebrating the New Year, we came back and practiced some new champions and new strategies. It seems to have happened rather quickly as well. You didn't have much time off for the holiday to begin with. Carry: Yep, we only practiced one day. Yesterday. Haha. You've only practiced one day and you performed so well! It seems like you've carried back the happy atmosphere from celebrating New Years. You've obviously made some good changes to the team, so let's continue cheering for VG. I want to congratulate you and I hope that you will keep up this good state of mind into your later matches. Carry: Thank you. Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/93048 GT's Hu1 gets a pentakill in his debut match against LGD + Show Spoiler + Welcome back! I'm Baobao. Let's congratulate GT for coming back in the second game against LGD! We'll be interviewing GT's jungler Hu1. Say hello to everyone. Hu1: Hi everyone. I'm GT's jungler Hu1. Today, you guys were really strong. I heard this was your first time playing this season. Hu1: Yep. Wow, do you know how many people want to get a pentakill in their games? Yet, you managed to do this in your first game ever. Do you feel good? Hu1: I feel good. Haha. You also performed really well, using Rek'Sai in both of your games. She still seems a bit on the weaker side in this patch. So why did you think it was a good idea to use her in both games? Hu1: I feel like this champion is very mobile, so I like to use her. What is the advantage of using her as a jungler? Hu1: She's fast at clearing jungle camps and she's also fast at providing assistance to other lanes. She must be also good to gank with late-game. Hu1: Yep. Hu1 managed to play outstandingly in both games but the first game was a bit of a shame. GT had the advantage early to mid game. What happened in late game? Hu1: Our team fights were messy and hard to deal with. It seemed as if every single time, Acorn's Kennen managed to kill off our ADC so our team fights lacked damage output as a result. The positioning was off. Hu1: That's right. How were you able to fix your mentality for the second game? Hu1: Because we were pretty satisfied with our performance in the first game, despite our loss, our mentality wasn't lost. Do you feel like after celebrating the New Years, your team has changed and returned to form? Hu1: Yes. This also counts as GT's first win in the Year of the Sheep. Even though you lost the first game a bit regretfully, you've already performed so well. Your second game went a bit more smoothly. Could you give yourself a rating? Hu1: 80% Where's the other 20%? Hu1: We executed a lot of things wrong and made a lot of mistakes. There's a lot I wasn't able to fulfill personally. I feel like you've already performed pretty well. This is your first time competing, after all. A lot of people in their first game might be nervous and feel a lot of pressure, which affects their performance. Do you feel like you performed to your normal standards? Hu1: The main thing is that my teammates gave me a lot of confidence so I was able to perform like this today. So the power of teamwork is there. I was watching you compete before and you looked really happy in the late-game. Did you feel like you could relax? Hu1: Sometimes, there are some things that are funny that happens in the game. What do you mean? Hu1: There was that moment where Imp's Graves tried to come up from the side so I just killed him. [reference: Imp was coming up with no vision near river and he was pinched in by Gnar and the rest of the team, and was killed instantaneously] I can see the the players enjoy themselves in these kinds of games. We hope that we can see more of your outstanding performances down the line. Hu1: Okay~ Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/93084 King's Mlxg on playing from behind and initiating team fights + Show Spoiler + Welcome back! We'll be interviewing the jungler that just secured two victories in a row, Mlxg! Why don't you take this time to say hi to everyone? Mlxg: Hi everyone. I'm King's jungler Mlxg. These two games were beautiful. The second game, especially, was very exciting. You didn't have a lot of advantages in the early game but you managed to suddenly turn the game around. Tell us about this last game. Mlxg: In this last game, WE lane-swapped so we just continued to farm. By the time we were in mid-game, they had dragon controlled really well. So I got really anxious; I wanted to start a team fight. I started two team fights and I wasn't able to find any opportunities. Instead, we ended up on the short-end. But later on, we were able to cut down on our mistakes and we weren't too eager about starting a team fight. So we were able to slowly fight back. Even though you had some mistakes early on, you were able to stabilize yourselves. In fact, that moment when you took baron was a turnaround point for you guys. Who made the call to take it? Mlxg: All five of us said we needed to get it. Ah, I see. It was then that you realized the timing was perfect to take baron. So you all went for it. Mlxg: Yep. I was watching your game and it seemed like all five of you were so excited! When the games are more back and forth, it must be more interesting for the players. Mlxg: The main thing is, it helped boost our morale. Yes, with games where you lose the early game but turn it around late-game, it's something that really boosts your morale. In your first game, you picked Rek'Sai and in your second game, you picked Rengar. They're both on the aggressive side of the jungler pool. Did you choose them because you normally like to play junglers who are good at initiating a team fight? Mlxg: Yes because my team depends on me to initiate these team fights. I prefer these junglers who are good at initiating team fights. I feel like you have a lot of weight on your shoulders. We know that the person who initiates team fights has a very important role to fill. To make the decision of whether or not you can take a team fight is integral to the success of the team. Do you feel like the pressure is big? Mlxg: The pressure isn't that big because this is something I need to do, after all. If I have to initiate a team fight, then I'll initiate it. The better I perform, the more help I can provide my teammates. Your performance today was really excellent, Mlxg. If you had to rate yourself based on your performances today, which game did you feel more satisfied with? Mlxg: My first game on Rek'Sai, probably. Your performance using her was more outstanding. There are a lot of jungle champions now. Who is your favorite champion? Mlxg: Before, it was Elise, but right now, there's no way we can bring her into competitive matches. So right now, it's Rek'Sai. Elise isn't too strong so your new favorite is Rek'Sai. I see. No matter what, you must feel pretty good after winning two games. But you have a long way to go down the line. We hope that King will get better and better with each step. Mlxg: ... Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! Say something to cheer yourselves on! Mlxg: I hope we play better and better. Mlxg is the type of player who's so aggressive during his matches but is so shy in real life. We hope all of our players can play to the best of their abilities! Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/93125 | ||

EP Kane on his first BO2 win against Star Horn Royal Club! + Show Spoiler + Welcome back! I'm Baobao. We'll be interviewing the ADC who managed to secure a full three points for each game - Kane! Say hi to everyone. Kane: Hi everyone. I'm EP's AD Kane. Congratulations are at hand. You managed to win two games in a row. Would this be the first time you won a best of two? Kane: Haha, yes. I'm sure this is something that really helps with EP's morale and confidence. Kane: Yes, we're all very happy. Even though your performance yesterday had some problems, you managed to fix the state of your team and achieve a very good record. I feel like EP has been playing outstandingly this weekend. Up until now, have you been satisfied with how your teammates are playing? Kane: We switched in two Korean players and our synergy is a little slow, so our record hasn't been the best. So we'll have to try and slowly improve. The Korean players on your team haven't been with you for too long. How is the state of your current synergy with each other? Kane: It's... haha, it's okay. What's so funny that's making you laugh? Kane: I just feel like we don't count as a particularly strong team. You picked Graves in your first and second game. Why did you pick him? Kane: Because it's easier to go into lane-match ups with Graves. His burst is also pretty strong. Kane: Yes. Who's your favorite champion to play as an ADC? Kane: I guess my favorite champion is Jinx. Why? Kane: Because she has long range, because her passive allows her to pick up a lot of kills in team fights...so I really like to play her, haha. So it seems even though you have your favorite champion, you have to pick certain ADCs that will fight into your team comp. Kane: That's right. Who do you think performed the best in your team today? Kane: Everyone played very well, and I think my mid-laner also played well. So let's congratulate EP again for securing a full three points for each match! Keep working hard and keep this up, okay? Kane: We will. Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/93246 Dade on defeating dark horse Snake and his favorite champion! + Show Spoiler + Welcome back everyone to the LPL Spring 2015 arena! I'm Baobao. Congratulations to M3 for securing a full three points for each win today! We'll be interviewing M3's mid-laner Dade! Hello. Dade: Hi~ Dade's performance was really spectacular. M3 is the first team this season that managed to take a 2-0 victory against Snake. Snake is a really strong dark horse team this season but M3 finally ended Snake's record. How do you feel right now? Dade: I didn't think too much of it. We just managed to win 2-0 against them so I'm very happy. I heard coming back from vacation, M3 didn't have a lot of time to practice but it looks like the state of their team is really strong right now! In your last game, you managed to pick up a champion he really likes - Zed. Why did you decide to pick up Zed? Dade: The main reason is because it's easy to play Zed into Kassadin. Also, the top laner was an AD champion so choosing Zed was a better decision in the long run. Now we know Dade is a more aggressive mid-laner. Among all the mid-lane champions, who is your favorite? Dade: Yasuo. Could you tell us some tips on playing him? Dade: Just practice him more, and you'll play better. You haven't been in China for too long, and you haven't been here for too short either. Is there anything you haven't gotten used to yet? Dade: There isn't too much I haven't gotten used to. I'm just slowly adjusting and I'm living pretty happily. Dade has performed excellently this season after joining M3. His play-style has become more adept and skilled. We hope that he'll continue to work hard in their later matches. We'll cheer for you~ Fighting! Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/93287 | ||

King's Assassin on their upset victory over favorites EDG + Show Spoiler + Welcome back to the LPL's 2015 Spring Season. I'm Baobao and I'll be interviewing King's mid-laner Assassin. Hello. Say hi to everyone. Assassin: Hi everyone. I'm King's mid-laner. How are you feeling right now? Assassin: I'm very happy. When we heard you yelling on stage in the last team fight, we knew you were going to win. Do you feel like you're the most excited or hyped team in the LPL? Assassin: Yes, I think we're probably the most excited team. How come your team atmosphere looks so good? Assassin: Before celebrating New Years, a lot happened on our team. It might've been because everyone lacked the same motivation they had before. But our team made some changes and now we enjoy our matches more. What kind of changes did you make over the New Year? It seems like the state of your team changed drastically. Assassin: The usual. We took some time off and didn't play the game. So you were able to relax! Since you were able to relax, this puts you in a more relaxed mood when you're competing, is that right? Assassin: Yes, yes. Including today, you've used Zed around three times, right? Each time, you've performed excellently on this champion. Is it because you prefer champions you can play more aggressively with? Is it because you prefer assassin type champions? Assassin: He's a champion I'm rather familiar with. In terms of aggression, I actually feel I'm not aggressive enough yet. So you consider yourself a more stable, a more conservative mid-laner. Assassin: That's right. I feel like there have been so many turnaround games in the LPL lately. And when there is a turnaround, it seems the game is over. Did you feel that way in your last game? That you were able to turn it around and win? Assassin: There was a skirmish in bot lane, where I was in a 1v2 situation. When I beat them, I felt like we already turned the entire game around. You felt more stable, more in control of the game, right? Assassin: Yes, that's right. Your last team-fight was also beautiful. Who was shot-calling that? Assassin: Because we've been together for a pretty long time, we more or less make these calls together. So it's really a type of synergy, a type of teamwork. How long have you all been playing together? Assassin: From the the LSPL started last year, that was our first time playing together. Wow, that's still not that much time together. It just proves that your synergy with each other is really great. You have a lot more matches down the road and we hope that you can keep this up, and we hope that you can keep up your hype. Assassin: Haha, okay. Let's cheer for Assassin and Team King! Source: http://star.longzhu.tv/lpl/v/93432 | ||
