How have the comms for the team been different so far this split? Has the addition of Reapered and Abbe altered them at all? If so, how?
I think definitely changed the most by adding Reapered and Abbe. Because previously, I felt like I had to talk a lot like I will have to make game plans continuously. And if I stopped, I think we were kind of lost the game. And when Repeared at first came in, I think the first thing he kind of fixed was the comms. Because he he just believes that if someone has to say it, and that just means that they don't know how to play the game.
So technically, if you're doing something right, you don't really have to come and hear about it. So I think by doing that, we're also enabling other people to grow. And also, we're fixing lots of comms so that like other people can communicate their critical information of like what they need to carry as they are the carries. So I think the comms has been a lot more...calm or less. So that we can communicate on necessary things. I think it's been pretty good.
Something I thought was interesting about you is that you have the highest LP of any of your guys’ players. And that seems to be a trend, CoreJJ is obviously very high, SwordArt is high, what is your impression of playing Support in solo queue, how hard is it to carry games?
I think in soloqueue every role can carry. That's how I feel. It's just like, you just have to play more to be a higher LP in, especially in North America is how I feel. Because yeah, even though I'm highest LP on my team, I have the most games on my team as well. And I think that's why I have to highest LP. And the more games you played earlier in the season, you're kind of in a higher position in the LP and the reason why I think every role can carry is because sometimes it does feel like it's a coin flip, whenever I play solo queue.
Even though I'm playing as Support, there will be games that I can affect a lot on the map. But there will be games that I cannot even play the game because the game is already over at like three minute window and people will just keep up. So I think that's been pretty sad for me especially because I played in like Korea, China. And the soloqueue quality is just so much different there. And yeah, I think that is pretty sad thing.
CoreJJ said that he thinks that support is the second most impactful position in solo queue. Do you agree with that sentiment?
I think jungler is the most important and I think Support can be the second most important. Just because Support can be the second jungler. So even though your team, your AD carry's bad, you can just roam top or mid and then hope that they can carry the game for you. Like you can give them the resources. But yeah, I will say support is second most impactful lane in solo queue as long as you have the right teammates.
Obviously one of the biggest stories in the LCS currently is the release of Dardoch from Dignitas. You’re someone that was a former teammate of Dardoch’s, what are you initial impressions on this situation. How do you think he'll do on Immortals?
I mean, I think he was always a great player. But I'm not sure how his attitude was, besides when I worked with him. Which when I worked with him on CLG I personally thought he was the best jungler I've worked with. We matched pretty well like in mid-jungle. And personally, I don't think his work ethic was necessarily bad. But, unfortunate thing happened. But I can't speak for afterwards.
But if like this kind of transits keep happening, there must be something wrong in some way. And I think him changing to coach...I'm not sure if he's going to come back to player or is going to keep being a coach, but I wish the best of him I think he was a really talented player. And he does kind of sucks that he couldn't like, stick to a team and show what he is capable.
