KC Yike on the team's mentality before entering Summer: "We're coming into Summer very hungry"

You started to touch on it — the meta has shifted toward heavy skirmishing in the early game, which puts a lot of weight on jungle-support synergy. Would you say that's the main thing making you so strong right now?

Yeah, I think me and Busio have worked a lot together to get as strong as possible for these kinds of situations. And I think we showed it in game one. Game two is a bit different because it's more of a laning game. But in game one, I think we showed how well we can play the jungle-support and take over the map, which was really good.

We're only in the first week of LEC Summer, but it feels like one of the most important weeks — if not the most — because you're facing the best team on paper. Is that something you keep in mind, and does it add pressure?

We're doing fine with the pressure — we don't really care about the teams we play against. Obviously, on paper it's the strongest team, so it's going to be a very important week: if we win all the games, the next weeks are going to be easier on paper. But overall, I don't really care what team we play. As long as we play well and play our game, it doesn't matter who we play.

If we play our game, it doesn't matter who we play — we can beat anyone.

You've now reached three finals this year — the LEC Versus and Spring finals, and the EWC

Yeah, I think we're coming into this Summer split very, very hungry.

We really want to win. Like I said, second place three times — it's a very bad feeling, especially losing those finals. But at least we have a lot of takeaways and a lot of talks and reflections from all of them. So I think we learned a lot, and that's going to help us the next time we get into our finals.
