Q. I'd like to start by hearing your thoughts on the win.

'Deokdam' = It's a bit bittersweet since the season is coming to an end, but I'm determined to win all our remaining matches and play spoiler for the other teams.

Q. This is your first POM of the year in the LCK. How does it feel.

'Deokdam' = I feel sorry to the fans who waited so long for my first POM. I'll make sure to perform well in the remaining matches and earn more POMs.

Q. 'Deokdam' had promised to buy 'Shabel' beef every time he received a Player of the Match (POM) award. Since 'Deokdam' was the one who received it today, who is buying? Is he treating the rest of the team?

'Deokdam' = It feels a bit odd for Dan-woo to buy me a meal, so I'll just buy it myself. As for treating the team, I'll think about it once we get back to the dorms. (Laughs)

Q. You've been on a roll with a five-match winning streak, starting from the Round 3 match against Nongshim, through the KeSPA Cup, and up to today. What do you think is the secret to this streak?

'Deokdam' = Since Dan-woo joined the team, our in-game shot-calling has become much cleaner, and the overall form of all our players has improved. I think those positive factors are leading to our winning streak.

Q. In the second set, your opponents picked high-value champions. What strengths did DN SuperS rely on to counter them?

'Deokdam' = We initially planned to start at the opponent's Raptors to put their top laner behind. However, we made a mistake while trying to get our top Jayce ahead, which failed, and I felt we were in a dangerous spot. Fortunately, the opponents overextended and gave us kills, which allowed us to win.

Q. The game shifted significantly in the second set when you solo-killed the opposing Lucian as Ziggs in the bottom lane. How did you spot that opening for such a clean solo kill?

'Deokdam' = First, I placed Ziggs' E (Hexplosive Minefield) behind the opponent to block their escape. Then, I used my W (Satchel Charge) to knock them into the wall. I calculated that I could secure the kill, so I played aggressively.

Q. In the third set, the 'Deok-P' duo's performance on Xayah and Rakan stood out. 'Shabel' even gave you a shout-out as a 'Worlds runner-up bottom duo.' Were you satisfied with your performance?

'Deokdam' = I was quite satisfied. However, I got a bit greedy for a pentakill at the end and overextended, which led to my death. It was a terrifying moment that felt like a huge crisis in-game. I'll make sure not to do that again.

Q. You faced a crisis in the third set after losing a 4v5 teamfight while you had momentum, and things were tight in front of the Nexus. Were you confident you could end the game?

'Deokdam' = Everyone was just thinking, 'I don't know, let's just destroy it.' We weren't thinking about what would happen afterward; we just focused all our fire on the Nexus.

Q. Your next opponent is BNK FEARX. You've beaten every other team in the Rise Group, but you haven't been able to secure a win against them. Any words for the next match.

'Deokdam' = I really want to win the next match and hand a defeat to 'Kellin' Kim Hyeong-gyu.
