"Faker" Lee Sang-hyuk did not shake at all. Instead, he felt confident about his performance. T1 defeated G2 3-0 in the third round of the loser group of the mid-season Invitational (MSI) bracket stage at the Chengdu Financial City Performing Arts Center in Sichuan Province on Thursday (Korea time). At the interview after the game, Lee expressed his strong confidence in the performance he is playing, including his feelings of victory. 스포츠토토
T1, which had a new victory of 3 to 2 in its first meeting with the G2, was shaken up in succession at matches with BLG and Team Liquid afterwards, which was expected to result in a difficult rematch. However, the team secured a clean 3 to 0 victory on the day to dispel concerns.
Lee Sang-hyuk explained the secret of the clean victory in the rematch by saying, "I've played against G2 once, so I experienced a big play style," adding, "I think I've paid attention to that part in this match." "The opponent has prepared a lot of things in the match against BLG and couldn't cope with it, but I think we can play well in the next match because that part has been supplemented," he said, expressing confidence in the next rematch with BLG.
In the latest MSI, Lee sometimes exposes his shaky ground. However, he emphasized that he is playing as best as he can. "I am playing as best as I can in unfavorable situations," Lee said. "In the process, I am always trying to play as best as possible even if I am a player who looks bad on the outside."
In the second set on the day, T1 failed to break the opponent team's Nexus, regrettably, and gave up a quadra kill to Hanssama Steven Reeve who played Draven. However, Lee immediately teleported to the opponent team and finished the game with a backdoor. When asked about the situation, Lee said, "The second set was already very advantageous, so I thought I could finish it someday even if I die at the time. As soon as the opponent team went to Baron, I decided to backdoor."
In the third set, T1 also released Tristan, the main champion of "Caps" Rasmus Vünter, who had been vanquished for the first and second sets. Lee Sang-hyuk also said, "In the current situation, each mid-champion has a certain thing that each player is good at," adding, "We are also opening or closing to prepare various strategies."
T1's next opponent is LPL 1 seed and BLG, which suffered defeat in the last match, after defeating G2 and starting to break the seal. "We have learned a lot since the defeat against BLG. I think we can win the next match because we have seen more growth," Lee said. "I feel that we have learned and grown through many difficult times during the MSI. We also prepared a lot in the process. I think the next match against BLG has a higher probability than the last match."
