They’re somewhat similar to us. They have three experienced players and two young ones, while we have three young players and two experienced ones. We’ve played practice matches against them. They’re a cool, up-and-coming team that also wants to qualify for Tier 1 events. In that sense, we’re similar to them.
As for whether we’ll focus on our own game or theirs, I think we need to strike a balance. We definitely need to know what they’re doing and what’s going on. But at the same time, we probably won’t go for a strong anti-strategy. Whatever we see that’s relatively easy to implement in terms of team coordination, we’ll put into practice.
