Expect, the Top laner for G2 Esports, held an AMA for his fans on May 22nd (KST) on League of Legends Inven KR. Expect started his post with a small pun saying “I’m sorry I couldn’t play as well as my fans Expect me to,” though he later said he is satisfied with the team’s performance overall.
Expect mentioned in his AMA that he prefers aggressive champions like Fiora, Gangplank, Renekton, Jarvan, and Irelia over tank champions, and that he was sad he didn’t get a chance to play Fiora.
He also mentioned that he likes to watch his own matches with Korean commentators and wishes for Dongjoon Kim, the commentator for LCK, to give him more positive comments.
Expect will be staying in Korea and will be taking a 10-day break before EU LCS Summer in order to recover from his wrist injury. Below is the AMA Expect had with his fans regarding the 2017 Mid Season Invitational.

Q. You seem to play Gangplank very well; is he a champion that you usually play a lot? Or is he something like a surprise draft you prepared for the Finals?
A. Well, I didn’t really practice playing him; it’s just that he’s one of my mains. I played him once or twice, then picked him right away for the tournament. He was a champion that I was confident of playing, and my teammates had my back so I was able to play well.
Q. Please do some streams when you get back to Korea.
A. I plan to take a break from gaming once I get back to Korea. I’ve been gaming at full speed nonstop, and my wrist has started to hurt. I plan to start game streaming in early June.
Q. Gangplank was a great choice. Your teammate, PerkZ, did great, as well.
A. PerkZ’s gaming ability is insane. I believe he can play way better at the World Cup.
Q. Even though you lost to SKT T1, the match was so close. Was there any moment you feel regretful or disappointed about?
A. When Wolf came over to the Crimson Raptor are and initiated a team fight with Zyra in the 3rd match, I was like, “Uh, we are doomed”.
Q. You said you like Irelia?
A. All my teammates hated it when I played her, and only PerkZ liked it. Trick hates Irelia the most (Laughs).
Q. It was surprising to see you play better in the 2nd match when you were defeated, with the game completely turned around.
A. The reason G2 is strong at ‘best of’ formats is because we stay firm, even when we lose. When we lose one game, we just say, “Now we just have to win 3 times! We have this 3-1 jinx, so we can win!” And we lost like that, by 3-1...
Q. PerkZ was ahead in laning, but kept dying from enemy ganks or roamings, and there were times where he wasted his ult; have you ever thought of stopping him from playing Orianna in the last match?
A. We trusted each other as a team. And if there’s anything that seems bad on PerkZ’s side, that’s not PerkZ’s fault, but our fault as a team.
