So what kind of iG did you prefer guys? The one where Luo gets a carry and Ferrari gets a playmaker, the one where both get carries/semi-carries, or where Luo gets a space maker and Ferrari gets a mid carry? I honestly have no idea, I'm just happy that 430 is now pretty much the undisputed best mid in China (a little sad for Mushi though).

I'd rather have Ferrari get a semi-carry and Luo on either a semi or a full carry...though it doesn't really matter for me as long as they win or Ferrari Ember Spirit xD

http://dota2.178.com/201406/196122679948.html
this interview was done right after WPC and released only a few days ago. truthfully, I can't understand everything that is said but still it is pretty interesting so I'll do my best and share what I can with the fellow iG fans

first of all congratulations to iG, here we do a joint media interview. you've won season 2, getting vengeance for season 1. please each share your impression from the victory. [awkward pause] chuan first.

chuan: uh... quite happy, finally won a championship and also over DK.
yyf: I am also very happy, after all I played in the first season [chuan chuckles], excluding chuan and luo the three of us played season 1 wherein they made a comeback on us, so we got our revenge and are happy.
430: because the first season's comeback was probably the worst loss of my career.. this kind of 0-3 to victory is unheard of, whether for me or anyone else. I don't think it's ever happened before. so after that everyone was especially unhappy, and right after our winrate against DK became abysmal, so with this revenge we get our confidence back.
faith: [something about certifying themselves. if anyone can understand what he said please post~]
luo: I am also very happy [mumble mumble]

okay, after the 2nd and 3rd match, I was chatting with tao-brother [Haitao, a commentator/host] and he said today your form seems to be excellent. can you share why your form is so good today?
chuan: it's not particularly good, only the usual. it's just before in matches our form was not good.

okay, it just goes to show iG has made adjustments
chuan: big adjustments

can you shed some light, what did you adjust?
chuan: just every person adjusted his shortcomings, this is very important.

I heard before that prior to TI, the team who wins the big domestic tournament will basically do the best at TI. do you think victory this will affect your TI performance?
chuan: it will improve our confidence and atmosphere, but [whistling] every competition is different.

B-god earlier said that this WPC would be a kind of training, he must have meant it with regards to TI4, do you think this is training?
chuan: yes, it's preparation for TI4. because for me, for everyone who plays dota, TI4 is the real test.

today feng-brother [yyf] and auntie [430], everyone played pretty well. 430 gave me the impression that he is very serious. for example after playing you guys will be very animated and happy, but 430 is always very calm and serious. but in games, it is another thing, you are very "show" [loanword from english, basically meaning flashy], I want to ask, did you specifically want to "show" today vs DK?
430: uh.. with regards to what? after the match or during?

during.
430: During... well it's not really so much I want to "show," for example taking the tower in mid. I have regeneration and I know they don't have a lot of disables and can't kill me. It's not to "show" you just have the health and everything calculated well. You have to calculate the damage, disables, tp situation, etc. most of the time it's not to "show" it's just you have a firm grasp of the situation.

ah.. well 430's form is maintained very well. feng-brother previously could also say there was a slump, but today also played brilliantly. do you personally think this form is good enough to play TI or do there need to be more adjustments?
yyf: still need to make the details more fluid, whether in lane or in the early-game or whatever and get it to no mistakes. because in real play there will always be mistakes, so you have to practice until no mistakes to play well at TI4.

drafting is still done by Faith, but director luo used to strategize too, do you have exchanges? for example taking heroes..
faith: I will ask for their opinions, and in the end it's my decision.

then director luo will also open some strategies? [luo pauses to think] especially in this new patch, you will need some new routines, etc.
luo [half smiling]: this we leave to faith. I just focus on playing my carry..

director luo, you've won this championship, it should be more meaningful to you [compared to the others].
luo: mm, yes.

in the finals, DK let you have lycan, you must have confidence in your lycan.
luo: yes have confidence... in the 3rd match I didn't play well and they still let lycan through [they all speak fast but luo mumbles a lot...]

lately you use the ember potm pairing a lot, can you give some insight?
[faith nods to 430, signaling he should answer]
reporter: is this not convenient to talk about?
430 and faith: this is not convenient to say

okay, my apologies.
chuan: if we reveal this we can't win anymore [all chuckle]
all: we've said too much

then do you have other tricks?
430: other what? [430 speaks with a hubei accent, but he probably just didn't hear]

other tricks, surely you must.
yes we do.

okay okay, then we don't have to worry.

want to ask feng-brother, after last WPC b-god said that this match was his most memorable. is it also the most memorable for you?
yyf: it should be, this kind of match has never happened before. so this time our successful revenge is especially sweet.

finally I want to ask, feng-brother previously you said you want to struggle for another victory for 430. feng-brother what is your outlook for TI4 results?
yyf [without hesitation, and he also always speaks very fast]: oh, TI4 our goal is the championship.


okay thank you.

---

the different player nicknames may also be of interest.

430 is called 大媽 -- auntie
yyf is called 枫哥 - feng-ge, maple-brother, feng-brother; yyf is short for 月夜枫 yue ye feng.
faith's nickname 小明 - xiaoming., sometimes forumers will call him 哈哈明 - haha ming

TI4 is going to be brutal. Looks like they finally shrugged off their ~18 months slump

Chuan is quickly becoming one of my favorite supports. His play has been too clean this past week.

luo has been derping less as of late but still derping nontheless. 430 chuan and faith are solid as always.

dont let yyf void and its all good. two time TI champion here we go.
rtz is like the Bieber of dota, true Canadian treasure.

honestly I think yyf plays void the best on iG. he plays it more like a carry, without taking farm selfishly like a carry. mom, bkb, crit, etc.

430 takes the space of a carry, but plays like a utility, going aghs and dying a lot.
