Q. Congratulations on today's victory! Please share your thoughts.

김지훈:I felt like I had to win because there were so many people cheering for us. There were some disappointing parts in the first set, but I'm glad I was able to repay the fans by winning the 2nd and 3rd sets.

Q. What was the team atmosphere like when you lost 2:6 in the Duo Rick map in the first set? I'm curious about what you were thinking as the leader.

김지훈:I thought we had a good chance of winning if we won the 2nd and 3rd sets, so I tried to keep the team's mentality in check.

Q. Did you have anything special to say to 'Witty' Kim Byung-guk, who was somewhat sluggish in the first set?

김지훈:I didn't really say anything else.

Q. Kim Byung-guk, you showed a good performance from the second set. In particular, you seemed to play comfortably in the 3rd Supply Warehouse, how was it?

김병국:The team trusted me and allowed me to play comfortably, so I was able to play without pressure. I just trusted Ji-hoon and played the game.

Q. What do you think is the difference between online and offline matches? I'm curious if you've adapted well to offline.

김병국:Offline is definitely different. It's important to set good records online, but I wanted to prove myself offline. I'm going to show you properly this time.

Q. It seems like the team has the potential to win the championship. What is your personal goal?

김병국:Since I gave up my personal broadcast, winning the championship is my only goal. And I want to be recognized by Ji-hoon.

Q. You showed a great save in the last 3rd set Dragon Road map. Can you explain the situation at the time? I also heard praise from Kim Ji-hoon that it was a great play.

김지훈:I don't remember the details of what happened before and after, but I thought Byung-guk was really amazing when he made the save.

Q. Finally, would you like to say a word to the fans who supported you?

김병국:I didn't know that so many fans would come to the stadium while broadcasting online. There were many empty seats during other teams' matches, but I'm so grateful that so many of our team's fans and other players' fans came. Everyone is handsome and pretty like me.

김지훈:I think we can aim for the championship with our performance today. I will practice harder in the future.
