Kodjikk on the match against Aurevia Team: “Honestly, it was tough. I couldn’t even believe we lost.”
Team Yandex mid laner Yermek “Kodjikk” Baibulsinov spoke in an interview on Danila “Wizer” Schneider’s Twitch channel about the loss to Aurevia Team and shared his thoughts on how difficult it is for a mid laner to play against meta roammers.
On the loss to Aurevia Team
Honestly, it was tough. I couldn’t even believe we’d lost. But we came out looking like a mess, as if we were all dead. We lacked confidence, so to speak, when we first entered the game. That’s probably why we lost.
On Novaria’s disappearance from the team pool
Most likely because the first Turtle is very important, and you need to have mid-lane control. And with Novaria, you can’t take mid-lane control—you won’t win the first Turtle. Especially now that the Healing Turtle has just been released... I don’t know, it’s like drafts should be built around it altogether. That’s why you need to pick Zhuxin, Kimmy, and Selena—strong mid laners who can easily fight for the Turtle.
On playing against roamers
Not all mages are comfortable to play. At least, it’s definitely [uncomfortable] on Eidora. Because Eidora has no dash—you only have one flick. And if they pick someone like Atlas or Marcel against you—it’s a pain to play. But it’s not that bad against someone like Zhuxin—it’s actually a blast to play against her. Just like with Kimmy.
