00:00Hey guys, Leonix here, and I'm joined by Hans of Curse Academy.

00:10They just took three games from Team Coast.

00:14First question, how did you prepare with your team for Team Coast?

00:20I know that Team Coast's lineup is pretty stacked with two European imports.

00:26I know that you guys have veterans on your team,

00:29but how did you specifically prepare for that?

00:34We just practiced like normal.

00:36We tried to scrim as much as we can, but Saint had to go to IEM and cast those games,

00:41so we didn't have as much practice as we would have liked.

00:44We just practiced as well as we can, did some certain strategies,

00:49and we pulled them out, and they seemed to work.

00:52I know that there's a little bit of a meta change in the top lane.

00:56I understand that Lissandra's kind of a flex pick.

00:59What is your preference on certain champions and priority picks for you on Curse Academy in the top lane?

01:08Usually, I just try to play safe champions. I'll scale well into late game.

01:13Because usually, before, I've gotten camped a lot, and I just got really far behind and lost the game for my team.

01:19So I'm just trying to play safe and help my team out as much as I can.

01:23I know that you are actually pretty new to the Curse roster.

01:28You just joined Curse Academy. How was that interaction, and how did that come to fruition for you?

01:37So before, I was on Team Low Pro, the secondary challenger team for Curse Academy.

01:42I was playing on that team for a few months, and in the end, it didn't really work out.

01:47So Steve asked me to join Curse A, and I just accepted and joined the team.

01:53With the two teams limit in LCS, how does that affect Curse, and specifically you?

01:59Do you guys have to move out of the house, or how does that work with the Curse organization?

02:06So basically, we're going to have to depart the Curse organization, and Steve's going to try to find a new buyer for us.

02:13And right now, I have no clue who that is, but it should be interesting to see new organization in LCS if we do win.

02:21But I don't think it will affect our relationship with Steve or the Curse members at all.

02:27We're still pretty good friends, so yeah.

02:30I know that this is a new patch 4.20.

02:33This is actually the third tournament that patch 4.20 is implemented on, one being the preseason for OGN and IEM San Jose.

02:43How did your team prepare for this upcoming third round for the new map?

02:50So, basically, we just watched OGN and tried to copy what they did.

02:56The popular pick was Lissandra in OGN, it was a really high priority, so we practiced that a lot too, and just tried to copy OGN.

03:07For you specifically, when you guys are playing, are you guys prepping anything specifically for Team Fusion tomorrow?

03:18We'll be doing our prep tonight. We haven't prepped anything so far, so you'll be able to see our preparation tomorrow.

03:25I know that Season 5 is coming up. Is there any specific champions or any specific changes that you would want to see upcoming for top lane?

03:36No, I think the top lane meta is actually really good right now. There's a lot of champions you can pick. It's really diverse.

03:43It's not just like three tanks like Mundo, Shyvana or Renekton anymore. So, I'm pretty excited to plan a new patch.

03:50I know that since Season 5 is coming around, there's a lot of priority with Dragon. I know that some pros have been saying,

04:03oh, this is, it's not much of a priority, and then some are saying, oh, if you get it, it can really snowball the game.

04:11What are your thoughts on Dragon and the objective control in Season 5?

04:16So, Dragons are really weird because early game, if you get a few Dragons, it doesn't really help you much in winning a game.

04:22But the thing is, if you keep letting them take the Dragons and eventually they get the fifth Dragon,

04:27that's when they become really, really strong and can win the game off of that.

04:31So, you kind of have to balance between trading objectives for Dragon and getting Dragon,

04:37so you don't fall too far behind and you can catch up late game.

04:43I know that coming into For Curse Academy, playing for them,

04:48is there anyone in this tournament or specifically in the last three tournaments

04:53that have been implemented in this patch 4.20 that you take, maybe, play from or kind of admire in their play?

05:02Not really. I just try to, usually I just search up what the Korean top players play and copy what they do. That's it.

05:13Alright, any shoutouts, plugins you want to do?

05:16I'd like to thank Alienware, HyperX and Quest Nutrition for bringing me here.

05:23Alright, well Leonics here. If you want any more content just like this, you can go to SK Gaming on our YouTube and Facebook.

05:31Other than that, until next time guys.
