Congratulations on qualifying for BlizzCon. How are you feeling?

Our match preparations have been very stressful for everyone. I'm happy we're going to BlizzCon together.

What caused the stress?

There wasn't any internal conflict, but we had problems maintaining a positive atmosphere after losses. It brought a lot of stress both during drafts and in game.

Did you expect L5 to make it to BlizzCon, as was ambitiously declared two months ago?

When L5 was first put together, I merely was aiming to take home some prize money before calling it quits and leaving for military service. However, my attitude changed after seeing my teammates' talent and work ethic.

Your use of Avatar is becoming more and more timely. When should a Muradin use Avatar?

It's generally best to just use it early, but if you're as experienced as I am, you can draw more aggro by holding onto it.

How did the team react to the win?

Everyone was screaming "BlizzCon! We're going to BlizzCon!" as the Core went down, and Jinsu "Nachojin" Park burst into tears as soon as the match ended. It was a touching moment for sure. I think Jinsu had a lot of pent-up frustration about his career up until now.

Crazymoving looked heartbroken after the loss. Any words for your former teammate?

Crazymoving and I are very close friends out of game; sometimes we go out together for drinks and drone on about how TNL should reunite. I really hope he cheers up soon. I'm going to buy him whatever he wants to eat.

Thoughts on the eSports announcements for 2017?

Waiting on the details, but team stipends and more international events sound nice.

Forecast for the grand finals against MVP Black?

I thought Tempo Storm would beat MVP Black, but Black was stronger than we thought. We haven't lost 3-0 to anyone this season, though, so I'd say we have a good chance.

Any final words?

Our lack of practice was a facade; we actually were using Chinese accounts and VPNs to train in perfect secrecy. Thanks to all our fans. We promise to put on a good show - come and watch the finals in person!
