T1 coach Seong-Woong Bae highly valued trying more things than winning a stable one.
T1 against Nongshim Red Force won 2:1. Although they lost to the spiciness of the rookies of Nongshim in the second set, they showed a level of performance overall. Coach Seong-Woong Bae and Woo-Je “Zeus” Choi expressed regret that they did not win cleanly. In particular, director Seong-Woong Bae gave a detailed explanation of Twitch supporters as well as his thoughts about ‘trying to only do experimental picks’ during the recent evaluation of T1.
The following is an interview with T1 director Bae Seong-woong and ‘Zeus’ Woo-je Choi.
How do you feel about winning?
Manager Bae Seong-woong: I am happy with the victory itself, but it is regrettable that I did not win as cleanly as I thought.
‘Zeus’ Choi Woo-je: When I think about the process, there were many twists and turns. Still, it’s my vacation tomorrow, so I’m relieved to win and go out.
After losing to Hanwha Life Insurance Esports, what did you focus on?
Coach Seong-Woong Bae: There was a play in that game that I would have liked to have come out of the players. Unfortunately, the play did not come out in the Hanwha Life Esports match. It’s hard to tell what it is, but this time I ordered to pay as much attention as possible.
How was Twitch Support’s play different from scrims and this match?
Manager Bae Seong-woong: During scrims, the results were good, so I was selected. The lineup itself looked good too. However, he worked well in the beginning, but after slipping once, he gave the feeling of losing a lot of strength. I thought he was a strong champion even in the second half, but after the accident in the beginning, he stopped growing, so when he entered the object fight, he was pushed back. I think there was a difference between winning and losing.
How did you feel when you suffered your first loss at the Hanwha Life Insurance Esports match?
Choi “Zeus” Woo-je: “Kingen” Seong-hoon Hwang’s movement was good. He knew he was going to bottom dive with Psion, but I couldn’t communicate well. I wanted to make up for that part. Overall, I was impressed with Kingen’s tank play. 스포츠토토
Opinions are currently divided about the tower’s influence.
Choi “Zeus” Woo-je: I think each champion is different. When you play a pick like Jace’s, it’s not lacking in impact, on the contrary, there’s plenty of it. When I catch Xantha or Gnar, I don’t think the influence is as big as other lines, even if I do my best.
Which one do you think is more valuable, stable 1 win or trying many things?
Manager Bae Seong-woong: I think the latter is good for the regular season. I think I need to do a lot of things that I can try so that when I go to the multi-premise event, my performance will be more helpful.
