🇨🇳 EDG ZmjjKK speaks after their 0-2 loss to LOUD:
Q: We could see that you actually played the pistol rounds very well on Map 1. Were you satisfied with your communication and execution in the pistol rounds today?
ZmjjKK: Yeah. For the pistol rounds, we basically just strictly followed the instructions the coaches had given us.
Q: For your pre-match prep, how much emphasis did you put on the pistol rounds, and how much effort did you put into preparing for them?
ZmjjKK: We watched their VODs, so the coaching staff made preparations based on that.
Q: Moving into the gun rounds, the most obvious thing we could feel was that LOUD were really aggressive and came at you with a lot of momentum. On Map 1, when facing their approach, did you make any adjustments during the rounds?
ZmjjKK: We made some adjustments. I just felt that on Map 1, we didn't play the late-round situations that well. We lost a lot of those situations. By the time we were doing adjustments, maybe they had already built up their momentum, so a lot of the time we just didn't do particularly well.
Q: Speaking of Map 2, we saw you bring out a completely new composition, with Breach and Viper. LOUD were extremely dominant on this map during the VCT Americas Finals. What was your idea behind using this new composition against them?
ZmjjKK: Because they run double Sentinels, we wanted to be able to get onto the site more easily sometimes, get the spike down, and not let them get some free kills. But today, maybe we just didn't do particularly well. We didn't fully execute the things the coaches had told us to do.
Q: Your next match will also be a do-or-die elimination match against GE. What experience do you think you can take away from today's match, improve on, and apply to the next one?
ZmjjKK: For our next match, we'll try to make our communication more efficient, get ourselves into a better state, and be ready for the next one
