Hanwha Life Esports Brion (HLE Brion) fell to Dplus KIA with a score of 1:2.

The series went to a full three games, and while HLE Brion had plenty of opportunities to win, Dplus KIA showed better late-game macro and focus. After a solid winning streak, this loss marks HLE Brion's second consecutive defeat, following their previous match against KRX.

Below is the interview with HLE Brion head coach Kim Sang-soo and player 'Casting' Shin Min-je.

Q. What are your thoughts on today's match?

Head Coach Kim Sang-soo: It's disappointing. We will use today's match for feedback and make sure we perform better in the next one.

'Casting': Personally, I felt we had more composure even when at a disadvantage during our winning streak. Lately, however, I feel like our vision has narrowed or we've been getting a bit impatient.

Q. You have matches against top-tier teams remaining.

Head Coach Kim Sang-soo: Our goal is to win every game. The priority is to regain our precision in play when facing these so-called top teams.
