Q. How do you feel about today's 2-0 win over Gen.G?

Head Coach Yoon Sung-young= I'm happy we won 2-0.

Kanavi= 'I don't remember the last time we beat Gen.G, so it feels great to win 2-0.'

Q. What was the secret to today's decisive victory?

Head Coach Yoon Sung-young= In Game 2, we knew when to concede objectives and when to commit to fights. Our macro play was excellent.

Q. What was Hanwha Life's game plan for today?

Head Coach Yoon Sung-young= In Game 1, we had the advantage in lane, and we played accordingly. In Game 2, even though we were behind, we conceded objectives when necessary and fought well to turn it around.

Q. Hanwha Life has been on a great run lately?

Head Coach Yoon Sung-young= I'm not sure what the players are thinking, but their individual form has improved significantly. We used to have issues with inconsistent macro, but those have been greatly reduced.

Q. Game 2 didn't start well. The situation in the bottom and mid lanes was difficult, which put a lot of pressure on Vi.

Kanavi= 'Our team composition was weak in the jungle, bottom, and mid lanes, so we were in a situation where we had to play defensively. I felt that if I had tried to help defend the level 3 dive, we both would have fallen behind. So, I intentionally focused on my own growth, and we managed to catch up significantly during the Void Grub fights. Akali and Pantheon are quite strong in those skirmishes, and I think the game would have become very difficult if we had lost those fights.'

Q. Any final words?

Head Coach Yoon Sung-young= I want to thank the players and coaching staff for today's 2-0 win. I ask for the fans' continued support.

Kanavi= 'I'm happy that our performance seems to have improved, and I think the fans will be pleased as well. I will continue to work hard to show good performances in the future.'
