On the morning of June 29, the Esports GAM defeated Furia with a score of 3-2 at the lower branch of the play-in MSI 2025. In the upstream of the Esports Gam today, the road “Kiaya” Duy Sang has shown extremely excellent and stable, great contribution to help the team gain the right to continue.
Hello Kiaya, thank you for participating in the interview with Thethao.vn today. Can you share your current emotions?
Gam Kiaya: My emotions are definitely fun right now, but my teammates and I still need to keep the energy and energy for tomorrow to aim to win tickets to the Bracket round.
In game 5, you are finally selected and decide to use Gangplank. Can you explain a little about this option, why is Gangplank to confront Gnar?
The reason I chose Gangplank because in my opinion this is the champion capable of traveling with Gnar very well. In addition, Gangplank at level 6 can also use the ultimate to support teammates as well as fighting. Those are the factors for me to think about Gangplank. This is also the general that I wanted to choose, I felt using Gangplanks that would help myself have many advantages from the road to supporting teammates.
In game 4, Furia chose Yasuo right in the first ban. When Furia chose this champion in the second round with Azir, how did you judge this option, if it was the above Yasuo, what would you use to confront?
When Furia chose Yasuo, we were not surprised by before playing, we had researched and learned that they (Furia) also chose Yasuo to confront Lucian or Varus. We were sure that this would be the lower lane Yasuo, so I didn't worry about Yasuo being on the top.
However, if Yasuo is really used in the top lane, I can confidently say that I am not afraid of Yasuo and I will definitely have a choice to overcome this champion.
Up to now in MSI, you have used 7 generals. Do you think you can be ready to use about how many generals in the top lane in this tournament?
To say the number of champions that can be used, I think there will be more than 10 generals I will be ready to use. Currently I can not say details but if there is a suitable squad and have the opportunity to choose new champions, I will be ready to use these generals.
Right from the LCP, GAM has rotated two mid lines of the team, Emo and Aress. Can you comment on these two teammates and how to adjust the tactics to suit each person?
To talk about the two mid lane players of GAM, Emo is a player who has a very confident fighting in fighting situations. Aress has thinking about how to go on the road as well as read the match very well. Each player will have a different way of fighting and I think everyone will match the GAM.
As we all know, the time zone in Canada is a lot of deviation from Vietnam, currently in Vietnam is also 7 am, GAM's match also starts at 2 am. How do you get used to this time zone and in the case of drowsiness when playing, how to fix it?
Before going to Canada, the whole team prepared for this issue. We determined that when we come here, we will try to stay up until 12 o'clock to 1 am to be able to adjust the biological clock. The whole team had many difficulties in the first two days but we tried to overcome it by practicing all the way, using all the energy to make the body tired, thereby adjusting the appropriate time.
In both days of competition, GAM faces many difficulties. How do you evaluate the play of both teams facing in MSI this time, BLG yesterday and Furia today?
Evaluation of BLG, they are a very strong team. Feeling when entering the match, they have an organized system from the road to fighting, without spending too much energy to think about that, just do what they have been built and they deploy is also “terrible”, that's why we lost yesterday.
With Furia, they are a team with a unique gameplay, prioritizing the ability to fight and control the target more, nor too focused on the ability to travel. That is why this team is very strong in fighting, like the “warriors”.
Referring to BLG, this is also the first time that you and GAM confront this team in the international tournament. How is your feeling when playing with a very strong opponent in the top lane is Bin?
Previously, I also confronted Bin at the Asian Games 2022 and confessed that I had no advantage that time. This time, I felt that I had learned a lot from Bin. To comment on this upper line, he is a very strong and very difficult player to travel or create an advantage against Bin.
In the match, G2 will face BlG, the team lost in this match will face GAM in the decisive match. Do you want to see BlG again or confronted G2?
To say according to the usual thoughts, I definitely want to meet G2, I feel like I have the opportunity to win and have a better advantage when confronting them. For BLG, they are a very strong team, so it will be more difficult if they want to win. Saying that does not mean that we will have fear or dare to confront BlG.
However, considering justice, I think that when I meet the team, I will play, regardless of how strong the opponent is. I will focus my best to complete my duties, try to keep my spirit and energy, confidently confront any team. Thus, my psychology will be more comfortable, if I think I want to meet one team or the other, the psychology will be hindered by me towards victory.
If you pass the play-in round, which team do you want to meet in the Bracket round? Is there any way that you especially want to confront?
If I have the opportunity to overcome the play-in, I want to face T1. However, if I talk about the way I want to confront, I want to meet Geng's Kiin. Kiin is currently the number one in the world, I want to meet him for the opportunity to learn and open more ideas to develop myself.
Thank Kiaya for participating in the interview and wish you as well as the Esports GAM will play successfully tomorrow to aim for the goal of entering the Bracket round!
