I wanna see Hai work really hard at playing Utility mages like Zil / Ori / Liss. This way he doesn't need to beat kids in lane, he can tie most lanes pretty easily and even if he is 1/10/1 he still is helping his team.
I'm sorry but a 1/10/1 Zed doesn't do much.
Its an awklward situtation, Hai is their best and worst player at the same time. lol.

Sjoks (or w/e) shouldn't ask such meandering questions when there is a translator. She doesn't change her interview style whether she is talking to Regi/Meteos, or Homme/Imp.

She's probably just reading the script, can't blame her, Riot is dumb with their policies and stuff so she doesn't have much freedom.

"What do you think won you that game." "Do you think you can finally win against Blue."
Not
"So after you went in after a game 1 loss to Cloud 9 and Sneaky's Lucian getting out of control and then they kind of just snowballed the game against you, you came back to win game 2, how did you manage to accomplish that. Mindset"
"So we know that you lost to Blue the last two times you faced. You guys lost in the OGN Spring and the OGN Summer in the semifinals, and well people have said that Blue just has the keys to beating Samsung White, and if you think about it maybe they do, but before maybe they say you have been a little too arrogant in some matchups here at worlds but can you beat Blue this time next Saturday."
What she says can't be a script, because it wouldn't make sense to write that. Even Dickens doesn't pad his dialogue that much.
Giving more contextual questions is good interviewing technique generally though. It focuses the question and will generally elicit better, more in-depth and focused answers. When you ask general question, you typically get general answers, which doesn't make for good viewing.
The problem, however, is when you're interviewing someone who requires a translator, it's really hard to get direct one to one translation from interviewer to interviewee back to interviewer. You have to give up something. Either you give up directed, focused questions in favor of general, but easily and accurately translatable answers OR you continue asking focused questions, but get in-depth answers which will almost always lose something in the translation.

Well, the problem with saying "well you need to ask in depth questions to get in depth answers" is that no one gives good answers in these interviews because they are trained not to.

Hey, I found the Korean interview script
Win? The other team played well, but we practiced really hard and showed good games.
Lose? Our play was disappointing. In the future we will practice harder and show the fans good games.

Its not just Koreans, watch a midgame or postgame interview with even a talkative coach lie Doc Rivers, the dont give interviewers anything. And then there is the mastery of Gregg Popovich:

Am I the only one who feels American teams got tricked into thinking we are back in a league of assassins meta? I'm not saying Fizz and Zed are not good right now, I'm just saying that they are not season 3 levels of good. The current state of assassins in competitive play seems like if you get ahead they feel like old times but if your team is behind you are negated. If this is true then why would any American team ever pick an assassin mid against a Korean team? Even if you are super confident in a 60/40 chance of winning early the odds still don't seem good enough to bet the game on.
If I were the coach I would have advised C9 and TSM to always pick strong wave clear lane bully mids like Xerath, Orianna and Syndra.
