On the best player of the series
I think it’s gpk. In the first game, he just dominated everything—he literally went 1-for-9.
On Kez’s pick
Yeah, just a regular hero. I’m super confident with him—he’s one of my signature heroes, so nothing special.
On winning the series
[What helped you shut down your opponents so effectively?] I don’t know. We just played really well, that’s all.
On Nigma Galaxy’s message
Watch out for us. We’re going to destroy you.
