We had to wait until the last day of the groups to find a reason to smile. Europe managed to place a team among the 8 best. In unfavorable conditions, Mad Lions achieved a historical comeback to gather 3 consecutive victories and qualify for the quarterfinals. It is just a classification of quarterfinals, but it does a region very well that was afraid to return 7 years in the past, specifically to 2014 where we did not have Europeans in the garlic.
Fun is also what drives Armut , the Turkish team player. He is satisfied with the turn of events, he gave us an interesting interview in which he was faithful to himself: in a good mood. The interview was conducted by our MGG FR colleagues.
Hello Armut, how do you feel after such a complicated day?
I m very tired! Although we finished with a defeat at the end of the day, I am happy with the results, we obtained what we wanted.
You started the day with a defeat against Gen.G ... How do you fix them to turn around? Did you doubt at some point?
I think that Team Liquid saved us by winning LNG. And at that moment it was when we told ourselves that we could still qualify if we won our last two games. This perspective has kept us motivated. And then, we came here to play hard and demonstrate what we are capable.
Thinking about your specific day, there were several occasions in which you became vital. Your Ultimates with Kennen, your Gnar at Baron Nashor against LNG ... When you succeed in these decisive plays, do you get the calm where you become a little crazy screaming and celebrating?
I am a little accustomed to making this type of actions (laughs). I do not cry when I make a good play. Maybe after the game, but not during! I just try to kill the enemies when I play. Afterwards, if I ever got pentakills, maybe I let me go ... but this kind of thing should not happen.
We often have the image of an armut that laughs and makes jokes. But when you live this kind of moments and you face it under tension, do you get to stay relaxed?
From the beginning of my career, I have not been one of those who are stressed. I just try to give everything and today I was not stressed at all. I think the pressure gives me more power, with the adrenaline game better.
Will one of the best memories of League of Legends from your career be today?
No! But I think it fits on my top 10.
Are you going to have a little fun tonight, or the goal will be to maintain the concentration of face-to-quarter?
I do not know yet. I think it will depend on the team s environment ...
Do you feel physically tired after such an exciting day?
I m very tired now, I feel that if they had not gripped me, I would fall to the ground. I do not have much energy for the rest of the day.
What do you think of your opponents, dwg kia?
It is a great continuation of the story, since we play them against them in the MSI where we lost 2-3. This time they seem a little stronger and it is for many the favorite team for the final victory. But I do not feel sad when facing them. I think they are better than us, but we have chances of winning.
Today we saw that after passing it wrong, you are able to return to the game. What is your secret, what do you say to each other to get it?
It is inside or outside the game, we usually make a lot of jokes. Being happy during the matches is important. If you come down and you can not communicate anymore, it is no longer possible to win, it is a road without return. But in Mad Lions, we have a positive attitude and we achieved comeback.
Be the last European representative gives you a little more pressure?
The last bastion of Europe! There is pressure, but it really does not affect me; Neither me nor my game. And as we are the first SEED in Europe, we are the strongest team and it depends on us to demonstrate what Europe is capable of doing.
With FNATIC and Rogue, we had a rather complicated competition start. Do you worry about Europe as a region?
Europe is not the best region, but I do not think it s weak. Although LCK and LPL are stronger, our league has its chances of winning, as we did today.
How are your worlds going out of the game? How are the conditions? Did you have time to visit and talk a bit with the other teams or other Turkish players like Closer or Bolulu?
Simply they left, so we can no longer hang out ... but it was great to see my friends as Nisqy and Closer. It is also a good experience watching other players like Faker. The atmosphere is also very healthy, especially I like the nature of Iceland. I am very happy to be here.
Finally, what are your ambitions for the end of the tournament?
My basic ambition was to beat a Chinese or Korean team in the BO5. After that, as we have to play against Dwg Kia ... my ambition is still the same, but being realistic, I hope especially that we cause a good impression, even in case of defeat. I want Mad Lions remembered as a strong team. Foto: LOL ESPORTS Contente of MGG Fr.
