00:00Hey guys, Krill-Chan here. This is week 8 of the European LCS Summer Split and I'm here now with Rockets Jankus.
00:21So you guys are on a 5-0 winning streak and I guess it took you some time but do you feel like you're finally back to your form from the Spring Split?
00:29Hello everyone. I think we are still not back in our old shape because we still do a lot of stupid mistakes but overall we are improving every week and I'm really happy about that because our goal is to go to World Finals and we were losing pretty hard, we were like 1-7 and now we are pretty much winning every match so I'm really happy about that.
00:52A few weeks ago I spoke to Vander and he told me that a major contributor to your better performance is Veggie. Do you share that opinion?
01:01Yes, because in the first few weeks he was in the gaming house, he had studies and he had to finish them. Now he came and from, you know, when he came we started to improve a lot like every week and I think it's him mostly. You know, he's telling us the stats, he's telling us what to do and we are just improving mechanically and that's enough to, you know, beat everyone.
01:26So let's talk a bit about your games this week. So let's talk a bit about your games this week. You beat the top two teams. First again against SK, you ran the double teleport strat. Did you do that only because you had Fizz in the middle?
01:33Yes, we usually don't play teleport in the mid lane, but you know, we had some trainings with Fizz mid lane and Overpower said to us that it's pretty good with teleport mid because he can always hold his own and also the gangs are good. So we just picked double teleport and you know, Overpower and Fizz mid lane and it worked out pretty good for us.
01:48Can you walk me through your game just now against Alliance? How did it go for your team?
02:03I think they did stupid mistakes going for Drake early game after they killed, I think was sell our bot lane and they went just too greedy and went for Drake where we just killed them. And from that on, we were just keep snowballing.
02:22Then we threw the game at Drake, I mean at Baron with his stupid mistakes again. And you know, they started to come back to the game, but we managed to win one teamfight on the mid lane and from that on, we again took Baron, we took two inhibitors and somehow we won the game.
02:40This week you're playing on 4.11 and we were expecting maybe to see some new junglers and the new jungle item. So why didn't we?
02:49Because you know, you got still Eveline, allies and Lee Sin, the primary three very strong junglers. In my opinion, allies might be a little bit weaker right now, but overall Eveline and Lee Sin are still very strong.
03:02So we will see them mostly, maybe Rengar because he's pretty good as well. And I think that Maokai might be played, but he's not that strong even with this item.
03:15Because he don't create that much pressure early game and you can counter jungler him pretty easily with the Eveline pick.
03:21Talking about the jungle, we saw this week Diamond getting benched for Gambit Gaming and I know he was an idol for you. How do you feel about that change?
03:33Honestly, I don't know why would they do that because Lowlegs is some random guy from solo queue and he's not good at all. And they benched like the best jungler in the ULCS.
03:43I mean lately he wasn't doing so great, but overall he got a lot of experience and he's very good and they killed him. So like I still can't believe that happened.
03:54I think and believe that Gambit is too without Diamond and I really hope he will come back stronger and he will show us that he's better.
04:03Do you feel safe right now in your position that you are going to avoid relegations?
04:07Yes, because Gambit got some problem with the roster and they are changing players every week right now and you know, I don't think they will actually be good.
04:18Then we got Copenhagen Wolves who got only a few wins like the same as Gambit right now and they aren't very strong as well.
04:26So even when we finish 6th, we can still, you know, beat Esopatra or Millenium and don't end up in relegations.
04:35And in my opinion, at this moment we are stronger than Millenium and Esopatra.
04:41But then we got Alliance, SK and Fnatic who are very strong right now.
04:45Maybe SK is doing a little bit worse in this week, but I think they will come back strong as well.
04:52Anything you want to say to the fans, sponsors?
04:56Of course, I want to thank Rokat and AMD for supporting us, you know, they are great.
05:02I want to thank people for, you know, cheering for us, for keep believing in us that we still can go towards and, you know, achieve something.
05:11And I also want to thank my girlfriend for the support.
05:14Thank you very much for the interview.
