Q. Q. Please give us your overall assessment of the match. Head Coach Yoo Sang-wook: I feel disappointed that we lost so narrowly today, and I think we need to address the weaknesses that emerged today. 'Canyon': I felt there were opportunities to win, but I'm disappointed that we couldn't. Q. What do you think were the weaknesses? Head Coach Yoo Sang-wook: We had moments where we had the advantage, but our concentration wasn't maintained until the end. That is quite regrettable for the team. In the case of Set 3, it seems we struggled a lot because a major accident occurred early on. Q. In Set 3, the bottom lane collapsed during the Level 1 trade, leading to an early accident. What do you think was the cause? Head Coach Yoo Sang-wook: Simply put, I think the biggest factor was that we hadn't encountered many Camille supports before, so we were flustered. I also felt that it created a disadvantageous situation. That is why we seemed to fall behind a lot today because we panicked at Level 1. You picked Mid Rumble in Set 1 and achieved a very good result. Coach Yoo Sang-wook: Since the laning phase is important these days, I thought swap picks were crucial, so I prepared this pick. I also believe that various swap picks will appear frequently. Q. Lastly, please say a few words to the fans who cheered for you. Coach Yoo Sang-wook: I feel sorry to the fans because we lost so disappointingly today. 'Canyon': I am really disappointed with today's loss. Since it is still the regular season, I believe there are many tournaments left, so I will work to improve further within that timeframe.
