GAM Optimus will regain confidence to make his country and region stronger.

On May 13th (PDT) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Gigabyte Marines defeated G2 Esports in the second match during Day 4 of the Group Stage of Mid-Season Invitational 2017. Cường "Optimus" Trần Văn was interviewed on stage after the match for his thoughts.

Optimus started the interview by thanking his teammates: "The match turned harder because I failed to perform well as the mid laner. Luckily, other team mates have help me [to win the match]."

When asked about the team's signature aggressiveness, Optimus plans to kick it up a notch: "Sometimes, we wish we'd play slower. However, our team is very new, so making early plays is our playstyle. I hope we'd have better synergy in future so that we can play more aggressively."

Finally, Optimus ended the interview with a promise that'll make Vietnam and the whole region proud: "Right now, my performance is not up to par yet, so I lost a lot of confidence. I hope that I can regain confidence and make Vietnam and the whole region stronger."
