Around the time the MSI concluded, few expected Dplus KIA to make it all the way to the EWC finals.

The cold reality was that all attention was focused on the so-called LCK 'Big Three': Gen.G, Hanwha Life, and T1. Dplus KIA was even the only LCK team to lose on the first day of the tournament. Yet, the only LCK team to secure a ticket to the finals in Paris is Dplus KIA, the team that survived until the end.

When asked after the match, 'ShowMaker' Heo Su said, "It was an incredibly intense series, and I'm so happy and thrilled that we won and advanced to the finals."

When asked about the tense flow during the middle of the hard-fought second and third games and the team calls at the time, he recalled, "The games were so chaotic with so many kills that they turned into long, drawn-out affairs. Despite the chaos, I tried to coordinate with my teammates to keep our focus as sharp as possible."

As for the secret to maintaining his composure during those long games, he replied, "There's no big secret. I just take a deep breath every time I recall."

It has been a very long time since 'ShowMaker' reached an international tournament final. "It feels like a dream to be in an international final after so long," he said. "I will do my absolute best to win tomorrow." He also expressed his determination to uphold the pride of the final remaining LCK team, adding, "I feel a great sense of responsibility, and I will make sure to win tomorrow to defend the prestige of the LCK."

When asked cautiously if there were any off-stage issues that strengthened the team's bond or served as a special catalyst, 'ShowMaker' gave a straightforward answer: "There's nothing like that. We are just focused on how to win at League of Legends. Our desperation isn't anything special; we are just desperate because we are professional gamers."

He then offered a classy, veteran response: "While this isn't the Worlds stage, it's a major tournament, and the local fans are cheering for us with such passion. I hope to feel similar emotions tomorrow to when I won Worlds, and I hope this final will be a great experience for my teammates."
