Regarding the victory in the regular season finale, 'Siwoo' shared his thoughts on the win, saying, "I felt very sorry to the fans after losing our previous match, so I'm very glad we could finish the final game with a victory."

On this day, DK overcame an early disadvantage against first-place Gen.G, demonstrating resilient macro capabilities to stay in pursuit. 'Siwoo' said, "I definitely felt that our team's skill has improved a lot. Game 1 was very unfavorable, but we closed the gap significantly thanks to the players' concentration. In Game 2, 'Smash' Sin Geum-jae's Viktor and 'Lucid' Choi Yong-hyeok's Lee Sin countered the opponent's setups well, allowing us to seize momentum."

In particular, this victory ahead of the playoffs became a major asset for team morale. He added, "Before the match, Head Coach Kim Dae-ho told us, 'Since we'll likely meet them again in the playoffs, I want to get a feel for them in advance,' and converting that into an actual win gave us confidence."

He cited Head Coach Kim Dae-ho's clear feedback and direction as the driving force behind the steep upward trajectory continuing through Rounds 3 and 4. 'Siwoo' explained, "Even before our team synergy clicked, the coach set a clear direction for our practice. In the beginning, things didn't go smoothly according to his feedback and we had a tough time, but our form started improving around EWC." He continued, "When you visualize the coach's explanations step by step, it always paints a positive picture, so all the teammates trust and follow him."

Regarding the fact that his laning skills have recently been highly rated among players, he showed humility. 'Siwoo' downplayed the praise, saying, "I don't personally think I'm particularly good at laning; I just play out the matchups as planned. Looking at today's match alone, I wasn't satisfied with my laning phase."

Instead, he attached great significance to the team's overall macro growth. When asked what area he felt had improved the most this season, he answered, "I've been steadily honing 1v1 matchups for a long time, but we've made tremendous progress in aligning our macro synergy as a five-player unit."

Lastly, Jeon "Siwoo" Si-woo concluded the interview by promising, "I sincerely thank all the fans who supported us continuously until the final match. In the upcoming playoffs, I will do my best to keep climbing higher without stopping."
