LYON Berserker on the EU-NA debate: "I don't think EU is better than NA — it's just G2"

Have you watched the series between TL and KC?

I watched the whole serie, but not in detail — I only really watched game three detailedly. I'm not sure, but KC kind of lost their minds, I feel like, watching that. But I'm kind of happy TL won against KC.

You feel KC didn't play up to their level maybe?

I only watched their LEC final, so I don't know exactly how good KC really are. But that's definitely not how they play, I feel like.

After First Stand, a lot of people put EU over NA. Do you think that last series is a statement of the opposite?

I think it's fair that people think that way, because G2 beat Gen.G at First Stand.

But personally, I don't think EU is better than NA — it's just G2.

We'll see: if we beat G2 at MSI, then we're just better than EU. So we'll see.

Coming back to LYON

I actually played with him back in 2022, before I played with Zven, so I already knew he's pretty good at laning — I don't really have a problem laning with him. But at the beginning of the season,

So I kept talking to him about that, and he looks like he's improving — I do think he can get compared to the other best supports, so I'm looking forward to it. When I was on C9

You played a lot of ranged matchups with Isles

Before, I preferred us just playing a mage support and bullying the 2v2. But we'll play together for a year now, the meta keeps changing, and you should be able to play other support. So, like I already said, I keep talking with him before like, "you should be here," or "put the ward there." So I'm hoping he does well when he plays melee supports and roam supports too.

Before First Stand, you said you didn't believe you could win against LCK or LPL. Have you changed your mind after the split?

I did say that before we went to First Stand. But I don't mean it in a negative way; I was just telling you the fact of how I felt it. I didn't feel we were that good when I won split one.

But now, compared to First Stand, we're pretty good.

Back in split one we didn't really play as a team, we didn't know how to play team game. Now we're actually good. So I do think we can compare ourselves to even with LCK — with LPL for sure. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

You were in the LCK right before joining LYON. What are the avantages of being on a middle-of-the-pack LCK team versus a top LCS team?

The reason I joined LYON is that Inspired just DM'd me — "if you want to come to NA, come play with me." I didn't really know why, but okay — he's the best player in the LCS, so I was down, and I just went for it. The difference between playing on a middle or low team in the LCK and a top team in the LCS is that in the LCS you get to go to international events, so you can learn a lot from how teams play at MSI and on the international stage. In the LCK, you're still playing against the top LCK teams, so you can still play — but you're not going international, and you end up chilling a lot. Of course [I prefer going to internationals]. But I still wanted to challenge myself in the LCK.

Last question — what are your ambitions here with LYON, personal and as a team, and what would feel like a good enough tournament?

Just to beat an Asian team while I'm here.
