After BNK FearX's 2:1 victory over DN Freaks in a full set, coach Yoo Sang-wook expressed relief at the win and regret over the reverse sweep in the first set in a post-match interview. He mentioned the poor performance against Nongshim Esports and said that the goal was to show a good performance in this game. He said that there were some disappointing parts in the actual game, but he was relieved to have won in the end.
Coach Yoo Sang-wook explained that he prioritized managing the players' mentality rather than providing immediate game feedback regarding the shocking reverse sweep in the first set. He said, "The process of the game being reversed needs to be analyzed again, but the players themselves were already aware of the mistakes that had been pointed out before. Therefore, rather than the content of the game right now, I instructed them to focus on not shaking their mentality in the next set and calmly executing the plays we had prepared."
When asked about his overall thoughts on today's game, coach Yoo Sang-wook cautiously predicted a 2:0 victory at the beginning, but revealed that the game became difficult due to mistakes made during the game. He said, "I expected to win 2:0 cleanly. The preparation process went smoothly, but mistakes during the game led to a somewhat unstable flow. In particular, I was nervous in the third set because I expected the opponent's resistance to be strong, but the players were able to regain their focus and win."
He expressed a positive view on the team's aggressive play style, which does not avoid 4:5 fights. Coach Yoo Sang-wook said, "I think aggressive play is a basic requirement in League of Legends. I believe that if the players understand and utilize this aggressive tendency well, it will lead to good results," expressing his confidence in the team's play direction. However, he cited the ability to make detailed judgments in the team's operation process as an area that needs improvement, saying, "There are still insufficient parts in the operation process. The current goal is to improve each person's ability to judge the situation so that they can show organic movement even without communicating."
Finally, he finished the interview by reaffirming his determination for the next game against Hanwha Life Esports. Coach Yoo Sang-wook said, "The next opponent is Hanwha Life. I think they are a very difficult team not only in terms of ban-pick but also in terms of play style itself. We will do our best to achieve good results through thorough preparation," expressing his vigilance against the strong team and his determination to win.
