T1 is the remaining team to participate in the Summer LCK final 2022 after a choking victory 3-2 against the other DWG. A victory is not overwhelming and somewhat lucky for T1 when Nuguri cannot play the whole match because of the health problem otherwise, perhaps the match results have been very different. However, the purpose of the team is also somewhat completed and T1 will be with Gen.G is one of the two strongest seeds straight to Worlds 2022. What is the head coach Polt said after this choking victory and what plan did he plan before the final.
You have moved to the LCK final again.
I am very happy to have entered the LCK final but also Worlds. I want to spend this time to express my sincere thanks to the players who worked hard.
In the match, Burdol and Nuguri were continuously held.
We don't have too much information about Burdol because he only plays in the first round of the playoffs and because it is likely that both players can come out tonight, we have prepared for many possible situations. However, I feel that we have to prepare more for the upcoming match.
What did you and the team say when the series was pulled to game 5 with a score of 2-2?
After getting an easy victory in game 1 & 2, we tell ourselves that we can win as long as we play like in the practice. However, the other DWG was well prepared and this series has reached game 5. While I gave a response to failure, we discussed to prepare for the most unexpected situations that could happen, which played an important role in our winning in game 5.
Gen.G has become a much stronger team than the spring season.
I believe they have also become much stronger since spring. I felt that we defeated them in the Spring Final would also benefit us when playing with them this time. Our players have improved, so I believe we are dominating. I am confident that we will win the final.
What do you think the score will be in the final?
I hope we will win 3-0, but most of them will depend on the feeling and performance of the team on the day of the final and because Gen.G is also a strong team, I think it will be a 3-1 victory.
The team has experienced a lot of storms this summer. In your opinion, what are the biggest obstacles that T1 has to overcome?
We do not have much time to prepare for the summer prize after returning to MSI. That factor has greatly influenced our performance in the summer tournament and we lost a few matches. We need time, but the time we have is not enough to do what we want. A lot of things happened later, both the coaching staff and the players had to go through difficult times. However, I think the team has overcome these waves quite well.
About a week left to the final, but in fact, how do you think and plan to play in the upcoming match?
About a week left until the final, the actual practice time is even less. However, due to the previous final competition, we have gradually accumulated knowledge and experience about what we need to do before the final. We will also have no problems in preparation and very confident for the upcoming final.
