@Elliott Thank you for remembering my Mundo play, but he is not meta nowadays so I don't usually play him anymore :(

@acagedanimal

The difference would be the champion pool; it's like a spear and a shield - me being the shield and Lindarang being the spear. While I usually focus on bruisers, Lindarang tends to go for DPS champions. But it does not mean that I don't play DPS champions nor Lindarang plays bruisers. It always depends on the circumstances.

The motivation would be my age :P as I get older, I realize that I don't have much time as I used to have in the past and that motivates me to play better than before.

I suppose that PDD was one of the hardest to face back in the early days. We used to scrim a lot with Chinese teams in the past, and despite his big figure, he was one of the fastest pro players I've known and was really good as well.

@Lemong We talked a lot of things in the elevator, so I can't really remember exactly what I have said at that time lol but I suppose that I have cheered them up when we were doing really good, and when the atmosphere became a bit gloomy, I told them to brace ourselves and focus to achieve better results. It was nothing personal :P

@Hendrick_Chan I was once a mercenary of the team Blaze at MLG. When Najin Sword already went to the finals, and we faced CLG in the semifinals. After beating CLG, we didn't have a time to have breaks and went to the match with Najin Sword straight up. The match began at around 12PM, and it finished at almost 8 or 9PM, making us tired to death lol I suppose that was one of the memorable moments as we didn't have any match that lasted for almost a whole day.

@Hendrick_Chan

If we have the same members as we have til the next year, we'll be able to overcome any difficulties, and solidify our relationship and become a much stronger team. Just like SSG - even though they didn't have named players previously, they managed to become one of the top-tiered pro teams with their strong bonds and playstyle. I believe that we can walk on the same track and become one of the best teams in 2018 as well.

@Bowwow

The moment when fans shouted by saying "Happy birthday" actually impressed me a lot as I was surprised by the fact that they even remembered each member's birthday. Even though it was a small thing, it was one of the moments that I was impressed the most.
Also, the small gifts I receive from particular fans, such as language guides whenever we take a trip to overseas, were also really sweet :)

@Hendrick_Chan

Not only your skills as one of the top-tier players, your attitude towards the game is also important.When I remember the first time I became the pro player, I did not tend to troll during the game and say bad things about the result; for example, when I give a kill to the opponent, instead of swearing or putting responsibilityon the others, I tend to think about more productive feedback to myself. Because of that, people who used to play with me or watch my plays back then said good things about me (which I appreciate), and I think that is one of the factors how I passed the test to become the pro player.

Long story short, be careful of what you say or how you behave.

@woodv1402

In terms of the top lane, I think Yasuo has a reasonable chance of showing up as it is not that bad nowadays and he actually showed up in the league too. But, it was when low or mid-tier pro teams picked Yasuo to counter me in the top lane, but as the tier becomes higher, I doubt that he will show up in the WC.

He surely is a strong champion without doubt, but when it comes to the pro leagues, the manliness of the champion that dominates the lane is not gonna work. They are not solo-ranked after all. The only chance he will be able to show up in the pro leagues is when he gets overall berfs directly.

@Chanhyun

I played different games during the vacation, PUBG in particular. I didn't have much to do other than playing games, so I concentrated on playing PUBG so much that I even managed to become #48 in the entire rank lol

The current meta favors Jax to dominate the game so much nowadays, so I prefer to play Jax and he became one of my favorite champions once again :)

And I did not know I was actually going to be on TV, so I smiled back when they captured me on camera lol Thanks for that

@SupBard

I'm not too sure exactly what you are asking, would you elaborate the question please?? :P

@KTrolster

I don't plan to go to the army until next year. Perhaps two years after :P

@DragonDance

As a pro gamer, I just wanted to transfer myself to another team just like other players. Despite the CJ's result being bad or good, I planned to move out anyway, and I have been knowing the director long time and he offered me to work together, so that's how I joined ROX Tigers.

@Athena_Wong I have answered the similar question above, but it was the match against Najin Sword at MLG in the past

@akafredo

Shen would be the one. CloudTemplar and I are the ones who love Shen the most, and I hope that the skin featuring me and CloudTemplar would be the one that I would love to have

@dogsoo

If I stay in LoL long enough, I might become one eventually. It's not that I have never thought about it before, and from the realistic perspective, I had to think about what I will be doing after the retirement, and have considered doing the coach many times. Nothing is decided yet though

@Andy_Lee

It's the experience that helps you adapt to meta changes quickly. Pro players who have been in the league for a long time tend to adapt to meta changes quicker than others. One of the ways you can do so is to play as many champions as possible and prepare for any upcoming changes in the future

From my personal perspective, Season 3 was the best season so far as it was the peak time that the game had as many players as it could hold, and the game itself was pretty fun back then.
From the pro player's perspective, Season 5 was the best. Most people thought that CJ wouldn't make it, but it turned out to be rather good, and I suppose that was sort of rehabilitation for myself and my team as well lol

@Kameko

957 from Team WE was quite notable when I watched the rift rivals. He showed quite good performances and tended to join the teamfights quite quickly, and I think he possesses quite a potential to be considered a good top laner

@Amaymono

Ambition is the one lol he is the talkative one, but it does not mean that he was talking about meaningless stuffs. Instead, he gave a number of good advises to me, and I believe that the reason why SSG went to the top-tier is Ambition

@Luna

Thanks friend! I was thrilled to see you guys cheering for us when we visited Vietnam, it was awesome!

To answer your question, I was personally satisfied myself during the Spring Split, but not the Summer Split lol I wasn't able to dominate the top lane as much as I wanted to. Except that, it was all fine and I am preparing to do much better

About the army, probably two year after :P

Again, it was the good time back in Vietnam and it became such a good memory. I hope you do well too, and thank you

@Loveless

The meta when Jax, Irellia, and Vladimir dominated the top lane was my personal favorite one. It was almost like a man-to-man fight without any interruption, so that's why I loved it.

But nowadays, what's critical in the current meta is the communication between teammates. In the past, you could carry the game on your own no matter how the game went, but the skills of players are almost on the similar level recently, and what makes the difference is how well you communicate with your teammates to achieve the better results.

@Annihilazn

The most important lesson I learned from my career was how you behave even if the game is going bad. Even if the game is not going as good as you expected, the way you cheer up other players and fight through the circumstances was the main factor to win the game and is the lesson that I value the most.

In the early phase of my career, I tended to focus on myself; how to improve my skills further and become a better player and such. But, I realized that having good relationships with other people can also affect many things and this is the one that I wish I would've known before starting out as a pro player

@Andy_Lee

It seems that various kinds of champions do show up in the top lane in this season, and if you prepare with as many champions as possible, it would work out quite well and pays you off

I feel more confident in a tank meta to be honest as I have played tank champions more often than DPS champions

@Eeseno

I loved the game since the past and I had a thought of becoming a pro player, but it was not a definite decision back then. But, when LoL came out, it suited me quite well and that's how I became a pro LoL player

The answer of the second question: PUBG lol

@Wenz I was friendly with all members back in 2016, but Ambition and Flame are the closest members from CJ

@ahahaga

From what you have said, I can see that you have watched my plays quite a lot and feel like you are the one of the real fans who loves me so much lol

Thank you, and people like you are the motivation for me to keep going and striving for better results :D

@HopeforNature The year of 2016 was the toughest time as a pro gamer. I even wondered whether I could continue to be a pro gamer, but people around me gave good words that I could overcome these difficulties, and that's how I was able to get over this slump

@marill

I have been to Tokyo for lecturing Japanese pro gamers, and I was surprised how big Tokyo was :) If I have a chance, I would like to visit Osaka sometime in the future

Seroth is the most impressive player from my opinion. As far as I know, he is known as Japanese Faker, and he seems to have good skills in my opinion as well

@Aprilkoala

I'm not getting in touch with him as often, and I believe that he might think of me as a person in the past. Someone who shares a couple of good memories perhaps...? And thanks for your heartfelt support

@jueun

Oh, I personally like ninja so much, so it would be Shen that I would like to be. The fellow champion I would be playing with will be Zed lol

@Deacky00

It's pretty hard cuz I pretty much like most players, but if you insist, it would be Khan and Smeb. Bjergsen from the west.

@BaoBao

I highly doubt that it would happen but I do have an intention of returning to some extent
