Head Coach Yoo 'Ryu' Sang-wook: We had a bit of a slip-up in the pick-and-ban phase during Game 1, which was unfortunate, but I am pleased that we bounced back with solid performances in the following games to secure a 3 to 1 victory.

Kim 'Kiin' Gi-in: It feels great because we won much more cleanly than I initially expected.

Kim 'Canyon' Geon-bu: I am genuinely thrilled that we managed to beat our opponents with such strong gameplay.

Jeong 'Chovy' Ji-hoon: We gave it our absolute best even within the difficult composition of Game 1, and this match made me feel confident that we can handle the remaining games just as well.

Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk: This championship is precious because experiencing the path to victory proved to us that we can perform even better down the road.

Ju 'Duro' Min-gyu: Aside from the pick-and-ban hiccup in the opening set, the results turned out wonderfully, so I am happy.

Head Coach Yoo 'Ryu' Sang-wook: Since we had already clashed with them in the playoffs, we did not think this would be drastically different. Our analysis showed that as long as we properly organized our champion tiers just like we always do, we could win comfortably.

Head Coach Yoo 'Ryu' Sang-wook: The single most important factor was initiative. Because we were playing under the Fearless Draft format, the core objective was to secure the initiative while also paying attention to teamfight balance. The pick-and-ban difficulty was high, but the players have broad champion pools, which led to great results.

Head Coach Yoo 'Ryu' Sang-wook: We ended up with a double AP composition. While drafting based on the opponent's picks, we debated extensively whether to hand Galio over to them or put more pressure on Caitlyn. Ultimately, the pick complexity was high, which made things rough, and I think that aspect gave us a hard time.

Kim 'Kiin' Gi-in: Actually, I only found out that I had first-picked in all four games after someone told me later. Since I have faced Choi 'Zeus' Woo-je so many times, I felt more of a mindset to have an entertaining match rather than feeling any pressure. We tried to figure things out well through the draft, and I had zero psychological burden going into the matches.

Kim 'Kiin' Gi-in: I believe a champion like Fiora has very clearly defined power spikes. We smoothly weathered those dangerous moments, which allowed me to steer the game much more comfortably.

Kim 'Kiin' Gi-in: Varus packs a heavy punch, but I judged that the actual environment to dish out damage safely rarely pops up. Therefore, I built toward AP to focus on instantaneous burst damage, and given the enemy team composition, I figured a mobility tool for survival would be mandatory, which is why I chose Hextech Protobelt.

Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk: When playing Lucian, you run severely low on mana before Essence Reaver comes online. I deliberately bought a Tear of the Goddess because I determined that having mana during the laning phase is necessary to constantly look for trade angles. Once I needed the gold to push toward my core items, I sold it right away.

Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk: Going through Games 1 and 2 gave me the conviction that the bot lane is manageable no matter what setup we land in. For Game 3, we picked a setup without natural initiative, so my goal was to safely farm and scale up, but it ended up netting us the initiative as well. For Game 4, I chose my picks with the mindset that falling slightly behind early on would be completely fine.

Ju 'Duro' Min-gyu: Looking at the draft, there did not seem to be many cards other than Alistar that could effectively check the enemy champions. I chose Alistar because I thought it was best suited to efficiently shut down and harass the opponent's core diving champions.

Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk: Mentally, the league run was exceptionally rough. Deep down, I even worried if my professional career might be coming to an end, but I always projected confidence to those around me. By refusing to give up and working harder than everyone else, I felt my skills returning, allowing me to grab both the championship title and the MVP trophy.

Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk: It wasn't like I had some monumental motivation. Everyone faces tough periods, and I simply felt that a day to see the light would inevitably come. I just kept my head down and worked hard with the singular thought of not wanting to become a burden to my teammates.

Jeong 'Chovy' Ji-hoon: Having played professionally for a long time, I think I've developed some mental breathing room. In the past, my primary thought was just not to drag the team down, but as the years piled up, my desire grew to step up and pull my teammates back up whenever they wobbled, which had a positive impact.

Jeong 'Chovy' Ji-hoon: I merely try to execute the absolute best play possible given any given situation. I don't intentionally hunt or aim for super plays; it's just that by searching for the optimal moves, those moments happen to follow naturally. I plan to keep playing by continuously searching for those correct answers.

Kim 'Canyon' Geon-bu: I am immensely happy to secure a championship right around the corner from the Asian Games schedule. It has given me a boost of confidence, and I feel I can perform well on the main stage without getting intimidated.

Kim 'Canyon' Geon-bu: I believe I am maintaining my physical condition quite well. Despite the hectic schedule, I don't recall ever feeling excessively worn out. If anything, I view it as an advantage since it allows me to get more live practice and experience, and I will use that foundation to put on even better performances.

Head Coach Yoo 'Ryu' Sang-wook: First, we will take a proper break and focus on conditioning. For the brief period leading up to Worlds, I believe communication among the players is paramount. We intend to refine our communication methods so we can independently establish champion tiers and flexibly adapt to meta shifts.

Head Coach Yoo 'Ryu' Sang-wook: I desperately want to win this Worlds. The series of trials we experienced this year has only made the team tougher, and I am certain it will pay off positively at Worlds.

Kim 'Kiin' Gi-in: My finishes on the Worlds stage have always felt somewhat regrettable, but this time around, I will do my utmost to wrap things up with a smile and a championship.

Kim 'Canyon' Geon-bu: We don't have an expansive amount of time to prepare before Worlds, but I will focus on grasping the meta and the playing environment faster than anyone else as we get ready.

Jeong 'Chovy' Ji-hoon: Going through wobbles taught me how to bounce back and perform well again. Since I've cultivated the flexibility to turn things around and make great plays even if a game goes south, I think I can do even better.

Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk: Enduring the bad spells actually improved the feedback loop among our teammates. If we stick to our usual style, I'm confident we'll see great results.

Ju 'Duro' Min-gyu: Through numerous losses and sound conversations, our team evolved. Since we now understand each other's desires much better, we will climb to even greater heights.

Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk: It must have been truly exhausting to support us given our frequent turbulence this year, but because you kept believing in us until the end, we were able to win. We will deliver great results on the remaining Worlds stage, so please look forward to it. I also hope you will cheer loudly for Kim 'Canyon' Geon-bu as he heads into the upcoming Asian Games.
