Here is a rough translation of an imbaTV interview with NB after their win against iG, just for you NB fans.

Interviewer: Hello everyone. Right now I'm sitting with team NB. Today, they completed a 3 match run into the winner bracket. First off, congratulations to you guys. You must be feeling really good right now; why is no one smiling?

*Hao forced an awkward laugh*

Interviewer: Firstly, I want to ask xiao8: regarding today's results, did you expect this during your preparations yesterday? Also, of the three matches today, which one gave you (or your team) the most pressure?

xiao8: For these three consecutive matches, we thought yesterday that if we are able to find our rhythm then we will be able to do it. The match against Titan gave us the most pressure. After going 1-1, we thought to ourselves that we cannot lose the third game, it's a must win. We put pressure on them the whole game and were able to win, so I remember that the most.

Interviewer: Ok, now that we're on the topic of the match vs Titan, let's discuss the third game. You guys pushed pretty quickly, forcing your opponents to gg at 15-16 mins. I want to ask Mu-god, how did you come up with the strategy for this game, and how would you rate the team's performance in this game?

Mu: For this game, the snap decision to take rosh was by SanSheng. He said no one did a level one rosh this competition, and our lineup is not too obvious [to take rosh]. Making this decision does have its rewards and risks, but when it's successful, when we took down rosh, everything that followed was very smooth. We all feel like we were given a lifeline and had renewed energy to play the third game. I think the third game was just really successful, there is not much else to say about it.

Interviewer: Next up for the third question I want to ask banana: for each post-game discussion, we do hear them and participate sometimes, the personalities of your teammates become quite apparent and the discussion can get quite heated. In this team, how do you contribute to these discussions, including the in-game ones as well?

Banana: I suppose I am more level-headed. Mu, Hao, and Xiao8 are more hot-headed, SanSheng and I are calmer. In the mid-late game I suppose we stabalise the team. If mistakes were made, we try to soothe any tensions between us and just calm everyone down.

Interviewer: For the next question I want to ask Hao. Hao, even though he looks small in person, he is still a strong player with great fighting spirit. In the final game against iG at the top lane, xiao8 accidentally chronoed ember resulting in both their deaths. When I was commentating I was worried this mistake will affect your mood later on, but the result was positive at the end. I would like to ask about Hao's mentality then. Also, which game did you enjoy the most today?

Hao: Actually when xiao8 chronoed me I wasn't particularly angry, because there is still a game to be played. I'm not going to quit playing out of anger just because I got chronoed. At the time, I actually wanted to tell him "no worries, this game is still in our grasp". Because if we make a mistake, everyone does have [a bit of anger/annoyance], but it depends on how you adjust your mentality afterwards. As for the most enjoyable game today, it would be the spectre game. The reason is that my winrate is really high with this hero and I just enjoy playing this hero in matches.

Interviewer: Now we need to ask today's Zhuge Liang [Legendary Chinese military strategist] SanSheng. Hey, look at the camera, Zhuge Liang. How did you come up with the level 1 rosh strat today, and how did you convince your teammates to run it? Also, how to you want to brag about this brilliant move?

SanSheng: This strategy was actually used when I was in a team with Zhou-god. At the time, VG was sitting opposite of us, like centimetres, but we still killed rosh. The key point is that if the opponents are not thinking about it, you can directly go into the pit. Especially at this TI, everyone is so scared of you finding early pickoffs in their jungle, gives you the confidence to go rosh. Sometimes it is also easy to overlook it. Even if they came to contest, they wouldn't be able to win the teamfight.

Interviewer: Go interview your coach. Ask him a question.

SanSheng: Coach, your visa has been rejected a few times. This time coming to the US, you must hope we can get good results, what is your greatest experience thus far at this competition?

Coach (Sydm): The biggest experience is of course our team taking the championship.

SanSheng: That doesn't count! Another one!

Sydm: No, it's only that.

Interviewer: We can see that the coach is still the boss of the team, and SanSheng is in a relatively lower position. Let's get serious for a bit and talk about the main bracket. The matchups are now fixed, we have LGD facing iG and c9 vs Na`vi. In the winners bracket, you were chosen by VG, so DK will be facing EG. Did you prefer facing VG or EG and what do you think the odds are of you beating VG?

Xiao8: I think it doesn't matter who we're facing. The important thing is our form and our trust in teammates. If we play our on game, it doesn't matter who we play. It's hard to say how we will do against VG, because after they came to Seattle they've been on fire. We will just try our best.

Interview: I know you've been playing the whole day, so you must be hungry now. Is there anyone who is not hungry?

*non-commital shrugs*

Interviewer: Ok, let us draw on our reserve energy to...I know you guys did a group huddle earlier today before the matches...let's do another cheer to end the day. In 3,2,1 you will yell "Go NB!". Oh me too?

*slightly awkward cheer*

Interviewer: Thank you.

I like the commentary on the awkwardness hahaha!

How is Hao so good?
His run last year was strong too.
