I don't have too much greed for power or honor.
[4]
Well, it does feel good for people to prep me up like that.
[9]
I'll try my best not to become a "Boomer".
[39]
How are you feeling after that victory [against DRX]?
[42]
DragonX was on a good momentum until now.
[48]
A victory against such a team is an important event for us, also for our future [matches].
[53]
Also, the players in the team had a very good teamwork today.
[60]
We have many more aspects to improve upon, so today was very encouraging.
[68]
T1 had a very difficult start at the beginning of the third game.
[72]
The jungler gave up the first blood, and it was a rough start for T1. How did you try to overcome this?
[79]
We actually didn't fall too behind during the series of events.
[86]
As a result, we were able to recover from it.
[89]
Also, our team's playstyle is that we are stronger at the mid-late game.
[94]
We kept trusting each other as we played the game.
[101]
DragonX also had Xayah and Ziggs, who are very powerful at the late game.
[105]
Did you still believe you can win during the late game?
[109]
We also had a strong composition for the late game, known as the Teddy-Faker comp.
[115]
So we trusted in our late game.
[117]
First Gen.G, now DRX. You are ending the teams' win streaks. Is there a special reason for this?
[127]
We've been winning on a 2-1 match score.
[130]
I do believe we are one of the top teams in the LCK in terms of the level of our performance.
[137]
Also, luck played a part in our successful results.
[142]
Our ability to stay focused at the late game really shined today.
[146]
Is it more rewarding to beat teams on a winning streak?
[151]
Well, it always feels more rewarding to beat opponents that are strong at the moment.
[157]
It's also important to claim these victories.
[161]
I guess I do feel more accomplished when it's a victory against such a team.
[166]
You have mentioned it at the broadcast interview, too, but you've resigned with T1 for three more years.
[173]
It was breaking news for everyone.
[176]
Can you tell us about your reasons for resigning with T1?
[181]
I can't go into too much detail about my new contract.
[186]
I hope you accept this as a message that I will continue to be with T1.
[193]
I hope the fans know that for now, I will continue giving my best effort as another professional player.
[203]
I made this decision because T1 has given me a good treatment ... I guess that's the way to describe it.
[218]
And, contracts beside, I've been playing in South Korea and many fans have supported me during this time.
[225]
I have now become a public icon that represents Korea.
[231]
I thought, the decision to be with T1 was the best course of action for not only me but many other people.
[243]
That is why I have made this decision.
[249]
As I continue to stay active in T1 ...
[254]
I may consider future activities, other than just playing as a professional gamer.
[262]
Do you have any plans after you retire?
[268]
I'm not giving specific thoughts on my course of action after I retire.
[273]
As I have extended my stay in T1, I believe there is a high chance I will continue working with T1 after I retire.
[283]
Well, you are now a part-owner and a franchise star of a team, the first to do this in Korea.
[290]
Because you are a part-owner and a franchise star now.
[294]
Truly the first in South Korea, which is a significant event for the industry.
[299]
What do you think about this?
[306]
I feel paramount pride as a franchise star for T1.
[312]
I'm walking the path that no other [LCK] player has walked before.
[320]
I also feel proud about this.
[324]
Finally, I feel proud that I can continue doing activities that serve the fans and give them happiness.
[337]
And besides that, you have extended your contract by three years as a player.
[344]
That means the team decided you can still play professionally for another three years.
[348]
T1 showed a great performance today, besides perhaps the first game, and beat a powerful opponent, DRX.
[354]
What do you think about your own performance?
[360]
I am very confident about my own performance.
[364]
It's true that I have ups and downs with my performance.
[368]
But, when objective assess my own issues or my room to improve even further ...
[376]
I believe I can play for a long time.
[382]
You've mentioned in a recent interview that you'd like your teammates to practise Sett more so they understand the champion more.
[390]
Even today, your teammates got stunned by Sett.
[395]
Do you remember recommending Sett? Anything you'd like to tell your teammates?
[399]
All the players are becoming proficient in Sett now.
[404]
That means when Sett makes an appearance, he's not as destructive as he used to be.
[409]
My teammates getting E'd by Sett all at once, the events today ... They were just unavoidable.
[415]
This is a light-hearted question.
[417]
After the news went out, you have new nicknames like "Faker Faker Shareholder" or "Faker Faker Shareholder."
[424]
How do you find these new nicknames?
[427]
I don't have too much greed for power or honor.
[432]
Well, it does feel good for people to prep me up like that.
[436]
I'll try my best not to become a "Boomer".
[439]
Any words to your fans?
[442]
T1 is now on a 4W-1L. We are around the top of the LCK rankings.
[446]
I want to continue showing good performance on the stage, as we have done in the previous matches.
[457]
I鈥檒l do my best, with my eyes on the goal to finish first place in the spring split.
[462]
On top of that, can you say anything to fans around the recent announcements?
[473]
Many fans have sent their support after that news about me continuing to work with T1 went out.
[482]
Thank you so much, and ...
[484]
I'll try my best so I may continue giving good experience to T1 fans out there.
