Immediately after winning the Philippines, and closing the group stage with second place, captain Ozoraveki had a quick interview with Thethao.vn. Accordingly, he shared that Malaysian team is ready to bring “crazy” to the play-off round when they have to face bright candidates for the championship like Thailand and Vietnam.
Hello everyone, my name is Poon Kok Sing, or often called Ozoraveki. I am now a forest player and the captain of the Malaysian national team.
– First of all, please congratulate your victory. This also means that Malaysia has gained the second place in Group B. How do you evaluate the two opponents in the same group?
The first is about Thailand. In all tournaments, Thailand is always our biggest opponent. We have lost to them hundreds of times. I think the way they play, the way they ban the champion is better than us. As for the Philippines, I personally appreciate them. But I think the heat of the stage has influenced their spirit.
In fact, we also encountered almost the same situation in the 2nd game. At that time, the whole team did not do well in the island. We are too focused on the match and forget the most basic things. Perhaps thanks to more experienced than them, the victory was in favor of us. But one thing for sure, they are an extremely excellent team.
– With the second place in Group B, you will face the Vietnamese team in the play-off round. How do you judge them?
For me, the Flash team is really great. They wipe out and completely overwhelmed in our area. They are definitely the No. 1 candidate in Group A, and also in this tournament. When confronted with them, we will probably play a crazy match, shake everything and try to learn a lot from the Vietnamese team.
– So you are planning to do unprecedented things in the tournament?
If the prohibition is allowed, we will surely bring “crazy” into the match. Everyone look forward to the next match, there will certainly be many surprises (laugh).
– Which player are you most impressed with this tournament?
Personally, as a jungler, I really like Zysu. Especially I am very impressed with the game he holds Kha'zix. Although it was an important match, he could even press the sticker, dancing and playing everywhere. I like the way he controls his psychology when playing and the spirit of “fighting” like that. I am looking forward to confronting him.
– Overall, you have excellent performance in the group stage. In your opinion, what is the key to this success?
I think the team members have quite an explosive interaction with each other in the tournament. We interact with each other very well, especially our support players. I think having a team where the members try to support each other is the key to bring us to victory.
– How do you evaluate the ability to win the gold medal of the Malaysian battle team in this tournament?
I personally think that Vietnam is an extremely bright candidate for the gold medal. However, we do not know how to give up. We will play hard, and if you win the gold medal, it will be a moment that lifetime only once. Not only for us, it will be extremely wonderful for Malaysia.
– Do you have any words to send to your teammates before starting the play-off round?
We have gone up from the long series, passing the SEA Games group stage. Although today we play in a nervous mood, I believe we will play hard and show well tomorrow.
– Finally, do you have any words to send to your opponent?
Hmm, what I want to say, quite interesting. To be humble, I will wish everyone a happy match. And if you say “Trash Talk” a bit, “Okay everyone, it's time to enjoy the enthusiasm of Malaysia. Please pay close attention, because we don't know when we are lurking behind you.”
