At any point of IEM Kiev, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. (e.g. "Day 2: M5 hype was everything people expected") At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Kiev but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament. Thanks. Neo, 20.1.2012 |

"You heard it here first, SK cannot stop M5, the sound can" -Zenon Lolz

Sorry, missed the first part of the interview! Stream messed up.
Zenon: Is there a problem in communication, or a game problem? Nyph: Janna has no sustain. We were only a tiny bit of cs behind and that's ok for Vayne but then Sion ganked and we fell behind and it snowballed from there. Zenon: What's you're plan for now? Don't pick Vayne? Nyph: Basically yeah haha.
Zenon: So, Diamonprox. This is the first Bo3. Yesterday was Bo1 so you had to play safe to prevent losses to cheese. Does this mean today you can go nuts and try crazy stuff? Diamonprox: Bo3 is our favourite because you have a chance to make errors or lose a game so it's more forgiving. We have strategies prepared for all games.
Zenon: Nyph, SK Gaming has competed in lots of LANs but you've never actually won anything despite placing well and practising so much. How's the team feeling? Nyph: We've actually won the EPS which was an offline event. But we have a lot of experience. Only CLG has been to as many LANs. I think it's M5 who have the pressure on them to win a LAN. We're confident. We're going to win this shit.
Zenon: So then Diamond, M5 this is your first LAN. Today you're up on the big stage with everyone watching you. Are you afraid of nerves playing a factor in your play? Diamonprox: We came here to the CyberArena 3 days earlier and practised on the stage constantly to get over this. The biggest problem is the sound because it means we have to use Mumble (it's like Ventrilo) because you can't hear each other normally. But we can win.

Sorry for asking a potentially stupid question (as usual), but I find the ESL site hard to navigate. Now that we're up to the semifinals, is this a Bo3?
