“I think we have every chance to beat LCK/LPL teams”

We spoke with G2’s bot laner Steven “Hans Sama” Liv after beating MAD Lions within the MSI 2023 Lower Bracket to get his ideas on the win, his expectations for the remainder of the match and the way he charges himself towards the stacked bot lane expertise.

Had been you stunned it was so one-sided towards MAD Lions?

I’m pleased that it was a 3-0 immediately, sport two wasn’t in accordance with plan however we nonetheless gained it. I believe we’re getting stronger as a workforce, really, via MSI, as a result of we get to scrim towards the robust groups, we are literally studying extra about ourselves and I believe that we’re enjoying so significantly better. We’re having respectable ends in apply as properly and we’ve proven a stronger G2 immediately towards MAD.

Are you assured you’ll have the ability to do as properly towards Japanese sides?

I believe there’s an opportunity for us to beat them. At the very least for me personally. I believe I’ve been stronger all through MSI.

I’m very assured to tackle the Japanese AD carries and I believe that my workforce may be very, very excited to play towards them.

We now have each probability to beat them as a result of we’re already doing respectable in apply towards high groups, it’s not like they’re stomping everybody – they don’t seem to be stomping us in any respect. I believe that we’re assured in exhibiting higher than we did within the best-of-five towards Gen.G.

How do you fee your self towards the opposite bot laners on the match, comparable to Ruler, Peyz and Gumayusi?

I believe I fee them on the high, that’s for certain. I’ve discovered so much from enjoying towards them already and it appears like I can play towards them and win towards them. I don’t know an precise rank – who’s higher and who’s worse – it appears like they will all win towards one another. Perhaps it’s a bit due to the meta proper now, there are only a few champions who will be performed and are simply stronger than the opposite champions – in bot lane at the very least. However anyway I’m excited to be enjoying towards these AD carries once more.

I felt like I had a pleasant best-of-five towards Peyz, however in sport two I suppose there was a little bit of a blunder. You do one blunder and the entire sport simply collapses. I believe that’s how snowbally these champs will be. For instance, Apehlios, Jinx, they get just some kills within the early sport and so they would possibly simply take off.
