00:00Hello everyone, Curly-Chan here. This is week 11 of the European LCS and I'm here now with Diamond from Gambit Gaming.
00:21You just had an amazing performance on Kha'Zix against Rockhead. Do you think that Insake would be proud with your performance?
00:27I would be happy if he is proud of my performance on Kha'Zix because I really think that Insake knows how to play jungle.
00:35He knows really much about this role and yeah, that would matter a lot for me.
00:43Besides Kha'Zix, he also went for Kate in Italy which is obviously a poke comp. Was that your game plan for this game?
00:50Yeah, that was pretty much the plan. Not because of poke comp, just because of those champions. They are really, really strong right now.
00:59Kha'Zix just can stay on lane all the time and then push tower really fast.
01:04And Nidalee is just OP by her heels and map control by traps and mobility and spears. Just OP champion at all. That's why we chose them.
01:15However, yesterday you lost against Copenhagen Wolves. Did you expect the Heimerdinger pick?
01:22We kind of expected Heimerdinger pick. Not like we were sure about it, but we knew that that could happen.
01:30And the thought that Ryze is like a great champion against him. He was good. He farmed a lot. We even had a chance to kill Heimerdinger, but Ryze died.
01:41And I don't think that Heimer did really a lot in this game. Besides, he just killed Genji and they took Nasher. But every champion can kill Genji with one HP. So that's not about Heimerdinger.
01:57But Katelyn was the main factor of our loss. And Nasher, of course.
02:03How do you think you will perform in the rest of the Super Week?
02:06I don't think about it. I'm just performing.
02:09Game for game?
02:11Yeah. We're just playing and we hope that we will get to the top two. Otherwise we don't care.
02:17So playoffs are next week. Are you going back to your bootcamp or are you going to train here from the studio?
02:23Right after the last game of this week, we are going back to Kyiv to practice. And we even have one more guy who will help us. I'm not going to tell you much about him. He is our secret weapon.
02:37And then, I hope we will be even stronger than we are now. We will discuss a lot more strategies. We will prepare ourselves for almost everything.
02:50Like there will be no surprises for us like Heimerdinger or Kteros or something like that. And I hope we will show true gambit on the playoffs.
02:59I'm sure people are very excited to hear that. And you're very high up in the All-Stars voting. Do you want to thank people for that? Urge them to keep voting for you?
03:10Yeah. I want to thank you guys for voting for me. That was really unexpected that you trust in me so much. It matters for me a lot. I really want to be at the All-Stars even if we will not make it to the first place at playoffs.
03:26So, yeah, keep voting for me and I will try to make a real show there. Thank you.
03:32And with the splits almost over, how would you rate your personal performance throughout it and the team as a whole?
03:40Yeah. We had some problems in the team like we were playing not great during this whole split. I mean, it was probably that was not worse than summer split, but that was definitely worse than previous spring split.
03:55We didn't practice enough. We had some troubles with issues, troubles with traveling and so on. I played not a great game sometimes and I failed a lot, but I think that playoffs matters much more, especially when you're in playoffs, you're not out. So we will see.
04:20And I don't think we have seen you all split on Pantheon, which was one of the very common used junglers. Do you dislike something about him in particular or was just not your playstyle?
04:33Yeah. I dislike the champion really much because it's just before level six. He's just brain brainless. You're pressing three skills without any like thinking of it. And then you can't really farm jungle. So you need to try to gank.
04:51And if you are getting fat, you're good. If you're not getting fat, you're going to die immediately after your ult if you have no Lulu or Kale or something like that. But Kale right now is not great champion and Lulu is permaband. So Pantheon is not that great anymore.
05:08Anything else you want to say to the fans or the sponsors?
05:13I want to thank all our sponsors which are with us and helps help us a lot. And I want to thank thank all our all our and my fans for cheering for us even when we are losing so much. We will try our best at the playoffs at least. Thank you very much, guys.
05:31Thank you very much for the interview. Best of luck for the rest of this week. Thank you very much.
