That tournament was definitely different.

We were an underdog team and we won the games against EG, it was a surprise series.

The first team I would say LGD.

We also played some scrims against them and they are a really strong team.

Also, I would say Tundra, Liquid, and Talon are some of the strongest teams right now.

What is the biggest surprise of the group stage for you?

(a team that exceeded expectations or a team that underperformed)

First is Quest.

The other team is nouns which beat Tundra 2:0 which was also a surprise (laughs).

I guess no one expected that result.

Have you made a goal to win TI12 without dropping a single game?

(Laughs) Yeah, we thought about this already.

If you are playing well, it’s possible for you to win any game.

But we are not focusing on it.

But if it happens (laughs) I guess it will be really amazing.

Did you expect to have such a phenomenal start?

I guess no…. no, none of us expected this.

Who would say is the MVP in your team for the group stage matches?

It’s actually hard to choose one person.

I think that every one of us does a lot during the games.

I would say him.

I guess I kind of like it.

I like the heroes I have to play.

I like those heroes.

I like a lot of the range position 5 heroes.

How do you like the TI12 format with these two long breaks in between the stages?

Would you have preferred the previous formats with no breaks?

For example, we played against VP, and there will be only one best-of-three series in 9 days.

Imagine it, we won against VP and now we have a four-day break.

(laughs) There is no reason to do these breaks.

I don’t know.

I would rather play without the breaks.

In the group stage, we played three matches on the first day.

I also think this is kind of stupid because now there is a four-day break.

There are a lot of options but this format is the worst in my opinion.
