T1 @Buzz_kr commenting on this moment:
"If I spoke Korean international fans wouldn't be able to understand me and they wouldn't probably show it on broadcast.
So I said it in English on purpose, it was part of the performance for the fans.
When I say "let's go" or try to hype up my teammates in English I think it sounds a lot cooler."

SEN Head Coach @itskaplan about the challenge to adapt to the upcoming game changes before Stage 1:
"It's crazy. If the agents keep coming out and they are so strong, to change 2 maps and an agent at the same time - I really do not envy any team coming off of Masters winning."

EDG @SmoggyO_o about the team's and his personal struggles:
"As a team we were not ready to deal with Yoru's system.
As for myself - I feel after I won Champions Seoul I started feeling anxiety on stage, thinking "I can't die" and it caused the circle of death for me.

EDG Head Coach Muggle finds the current meta a bit "boring":
"You can change your duelist but it's hard to choose other controllers or initiators in the game right now. How to deal with the problem when one agent is too OP than the others? Your best solution is to use it, too."

Champions title gave me the wrong way of thinking ("I can't die", "I can't make a mistake"), I started feeling a lot of pressure on stage and restricted myself in-game. A few days ago I realized that I need to change this type of mentality & take a better care of myself."
