Chovy: "We [also beat T1] at MSI last year but that doesn't mean much. I feel we still need to get our revenge at Worlds."

Ruler: "Similar thought. Beating T1 at Worlds will feel like true revenge."

"Throughout this MSI, I believe our team has been doing extremely well, and that’s why this loss is so regretful [and painful]

Despite us losing against GEN twice, I believe we are capable of defeating them."

Pu: Ultimately, we’re all a little bit parasocial.

We like to sit in on their scrims, ask Baus why he inted that one time and why it was a good death — it’s very entertaining and allows us to feel like we’re part of it.

[LR] has been super compelling to me as a fan and viewer.

Oner: I think it’s thanks to my fans’ love and support that I’m able to play so earnestly, and I’d like to deliver my thanks to them every day.

There are so many fans cheering us on that I think I just feel grateful, rather than insecure.
July 21, 2025 at 9:28 AM
Q: What's your max bench press?

Oner: I haven't actually tested my maximum yet, so I’m not totally certain what it is. Right now, I’m working with a personal trainer, so I just follow what they tell me to do.
July 21, 2025 at 9:28 AM
Q: What's the significance of your necklace?

Oner: Yeah, so I actually put in a custom request for this – it's a tiger pendant. The tiger is a bit of a meaningful animal to me.

Even my fandom is called the Tiger Clan. I think the tiger as a whole represents me pretty well.

❝I do think it would be pretty tough if I didn’t have the fans’ attention or love.

I think I was very lucky to debut with T1, who have an incredible amount of fans. I used to think it was unbelievable.❞

Oner: Canyon, as an individual, is a hard opponent to face.

But instead of focusing on what’s different about Canyon or why he's special, I think it really depends on the team that the jungler joins.
July 17, 2025 at 7:00 PM
Oner: But I think rather than focusing on that, I think we really prefer to [focus on ourselves].

Internally, as the players who actually play the game, it feels like not everyone outside of our circle fully understands the picture.
July 17, 2025 at 7:00 PM
❝Not everyone outside of our circle fully understands the picture [of the team].

We just try to focus less on what others are saying — if people say [...] "They won't be successful without this player," we just try to ignore them.❞

This is the best memory I've ever had on stage."

"The first time I [played with the crowd against me] was 2019 Worlds against G2.

Back in the day, those kinds of things really got in my head and affected me. [But] those things don’t really get to me [anymore]."

"It was a really close game, so I’m quite sad [...] I’ll just keep thinking like we have [one more match] to make the finals."

"We faced BLG before, and I’d prefer facing as many teams as possible, so I’d prefer to face AL."

Massu: It really hurts right now, and it really feels like shit. But I think it's honestly just the loss [we needed] to take.

For me, [this MSI] really gave me a lot of hope [because] of how beatable every team is — and how far we've come from last year's Worlds. [...]
July 15, 2025 at 10:03 PM
"I don't think I played good, I don't think I played like shit. I think at Worlds, I played a lot more flashy hypercarries [...]

I think I'm a better player than I was at Worlds, so it's hard for me to say I played better [back then] — because I don't think I did."

Inspired: even though he was blind-picked first. And we ended up playing Zilean, which we never really played. And yeah, I think we just got kinda out-drafted there.

I think it was a really smart draft by them, and credit to their coach and them.
July 15, 2025 at 7:22 PM
Busio: The public’s perception of Kalista is that she’s an early game champion, but that’s not really it.

If anything, she has a pretty weak first couple levels since the nerfs. Like, her level 1 all-in used to be very powerful, so it was just guaranteed prio [and] winning lane.

FLY Inspired and Busio address:

- Why they picked Kalista
- Inspired learning to "play more selfish" next time
- Why they picked Zilean

Junjia: I feel like that's quite a funny story to tell.

Q: Out of game, do you ever feel like you’re parenting HongQ a bit?

Junjia: I feel like because he’s an 18 year old boy — in my eyes [...] he’s just a kid. When I was 18 years old, I was probably the same.
July 15, 2025 at 2:11 PM
Junjia: FlyQuest is a very respectable team and incredibly strong, especially given their Worlds 2024 run against Gen.G where they also performed incredibly well.

If we do end up facing each other at MSI, I think it's going to be hard to say who is gonna come out on top.
July 15, 2025 at 2:11 PM
"I feel like when we have such a young player on our team, we also start acting quite like kids ourselves.

We do fight around and play around quite often amongst the team — and that brings up the team spirit."

—CFO Junjia on playing with HongQ

Keria: Xun and ON together (their jungle support duo) had really good synergy and teamwork, so they made a lot of flexible plays around the map, and played out the game for the team together.

This year I noticed that those plays were happening less.
July 15, 2025 at 11:21 AM
Q: Faker, who was today's MVP?

Faker: Oner

Q: Faker, thoughts on your matchup against Knight today?

Faker: Today, I think the games went kind of smoothly, [more than] expected. There were some minor moments where I wish it could’ve been better, but overall it was still good.
July 15, 2025 at 11:21 AM
"Chovy, the entirety of this year, has been displaying great performances, so I’m really excited for the matchup.

Maybe because of [my improvement] throughout MSI, I’m kind of anticipating us finally getting to beat GEN this time around."
