How do you feel after the 2-1 NS Redforce victory?
Coach Kkoma: I feel positive because I can obtain data and see what we need to improve.
Oner: We have won 2-0 a lot. There was a bit of regret when we won 2-1, but fortunately we have found weaknesses before the match against KT. There are errors here and there in both choices and in the match. We will need to prepare well for the next match.
What do you think of the team's performance?
Coach Kkoma: Today, we have been able to try new options and have been able to identify some weaknesses in the overall fighting and our Shotcalls situations. I am very satisfied because we were able to see these points in the match.
Oner: There are some misunderstandings and bad fighting in the match. It was relieved when we could see before it exceeded control. Now we will be able to correct mistakes during practice.
You chose Twisted Fate in game 2. What is the reason?
Kkoma: You will know if you see other tournaments. Because Smolder and Twisted Fate can be transferred to other lines, we have considered it. In the spring stage, you have to look in the long run, can test and fail. Although we lost game 2, I was satisfied because we tried and saw the results.
Previously, I was often disappointed if the results were not good. But now, failures are positive for me. Because this is my thoughts, I hope the players can play more comfortably without feeling any burden.
What do you think about version 14.3?
Coach Kkoma: There are many options that can be more flexible so we take it. Taliyah is already strong and it seems even stronger. However, this is a 5v5 game, not 1V1. So we will need to continue researching which squad is better.
The next match of T1 is to meet KT Rolster.
Coach Kkoma: I believe KT Rolster is a very strong team. We will need to prepare the appropriate strategy to face them, both macro and ban.
Oner: If we look back on today's match to draw lessons and promote our strengths, we will be able to defeat KT. They are very strong teams, but if they are well prepared, we can defeat them.
Today is Oner's 3rd anniversary. What do you want to say to fans?
Oner: It was surprising that 3 years have passed since I became a professional player. I feel happy and surprised. My fans and companies have prepared a lot for today. The fans rented a cafe to organize the event for me. I went there before the fans were present, and that was wonderful. The company has prepared some snacks for fans to visit Lol Park today. Thank you always for all support. It's been 3 years and I will work hard to extend the time more.
What is the best and worst moment in your 3 years of your career?
Oner: My worst thing is when I lost in the Worlds 2022 final. And my best thing is when winning the 2023 World Championship.
How do you think you have improved in the past 3 years?
Oner: I used to be angry and strict with myself when we failed. But now, I'm not too disappointed by the losses. I consider the loss as a motivation to be better.
You have achieved quite a lot in 3 years. What is your goal in the next 3 years?
Oner: My goal won a gold medal at the Asian Games, won the world again. Before all that, my top priority is to keep my health and make sure I am not exhausted.
T1's other teams have suggested their championship costumes. Do you have anything to share?
Oner: I believe Riot creates very beautiful costumes. I sent a bit of my initiative, but I believe they will make it interesting. I think it will go well.
Do you have any advice for Oner?
Coach Kkoma: Oner is perfect so I have no advice for it. I am the one who is learning from him. Oner is a strong person. I hope he is still like that and is always healthy.
