On August 23rd, LGD defeated QG in an intense 5-game series to take the LPL 2015 Summer Split Championship. After the match, LPL’s new kings, team LGD, accepted an interview. PYL revealed that Chris has already resigned, and Godv claimed that Faker never won against him in scrims.

Q: First of all, talk about how you feel after winning the championship.

PYL: At the moment my head is entirely blank, but in any case I am very happy that I finally won after playing for so long. When we lost 3:2 in Spring Split, I felt that luck played a big part in that series. I also didn’t expect today to be this hard though, but I am still happy.

Q: In the last game, QG’s comp. countered you guys pretty hard. How did you guys win?

PYL: I felt that our individual skills are very good. Every one of our lanes beat them in CS. The first game we lost was because of mistakes in the pick and ban.

Q: What is your hope for S5?

PYL: Champions.

Q: What is the difference between the mid-jungle coordination of LGD and QG?

TBQ: Our aggressiveness and vision control is stronger. Our mid-lane can also out-pressure QG’s mid-lane. I think QG’s style cannot defeat LGD.

Q: Godv, in the last game why did you pick Vladimir?

Godv: In the last game, QG took my Ahri. I thought about picking Ahri first, but when they picked her I can counter the pick. Ahri cannot lane against Vladimir, so they did pretty good considering that.

Q: Acorn, why did you pick Fiora?

Acorn: Because someone introduced Fiora to me. He said that Fiora is not bad. After I practiced for two days, I felt good enough to pick her.

Q: Imp, your post-season performance has been very good. Every game you could out-pressure your opponent. But your regular season performance has been lackluster. How did your performance improve so much during post-season?

Imp: Because I didn’t practice much during the regular season

.

Q: Which two teams do you guys think will make it into S5 Worlds?

TBQ: EDG and iG.

Q: In the LPL finals promo clip, you guys talked a lot of trash. Before S5 Worlds, would you talk trash to SKT?

Godv: We probably will meet SKT late in the tournament. But we definitely won’t lose.

Q: Back then (S3 Royal Club) White was famous for being “50-50 with Faker”, what are your chances against Faker?

Godv: In scrims, Faker never won against me!

Q: Chris won’t enter S5 Worlds with you guys?

PYL: He already confirmed his resignation. He won’t come with us.

Q: When did you guys feel that you would become the champions?

PYL: After Spring Split post-season, we felt that our team was really strong and has the potential to become champions.

Q: Imp, what is the difference between winning championship in China and winning championship in Korea?

Imp: It’s too tiring to win championship in China.

Q: In Spring Split finals when we interviewed PawN, he said that you, Godv, is the number one Mid Laner in LPL, and he was the number one Mid Laner in Korea. After winning the championship, do you feel that you are the number one Mid Laner in the world?

Godv: Not at the moment because my performance has decreased a bit compared to my former self. Maybe after a period of adjustment, I will prove myself on the S5 Worlds stage.

Q: Do you guys plan to go drinking tonight?

Godv: Nah, too tired.

Q: Acorn, LGD always let you play in very important matches. Compared to Flame, where do you think your advantages lie?

Acorn: Because I am more familiar with my teammates.

Imp: When I go HAM, Acorn can control me.

Q: Godv, in the QG’s game today, they banned your Diana and Yasuo. If on the S5 World stage your opponents leave these two champions open, what do you think are your chances of carrying your team?

Godv: As long as my opponents dare to leave them open, I can guarantee an at least 70% chance of victory for my team.

Q: TBQ, do you think you already became LPL’s number one Jungler?

TBQ: Not yet, but I feel that aside from Dandy and ClearLove, no one else is better than me.
