On February 21, in the 2021 League of Legends Korea Spring League, T1 swept Liiv SANDBOX 2-0. T1 debuted as the new jungler Moon “Oner” Hyeon-joon, and is also one of the youngest starting lineups in the league. Bot Laner Park “Teddy” Jin-seong was the team’s veteran and gave the rookies a victory. After the game, Teddy joined Inven Global for an interview.

This is a long rest. How did you spend the Chinese New Year holiday?

I spend most of my time resting at home with my family and ate some tteok-guk (rice cake soup) and galbi-jjim (stewed ribs). And I played some games with my friends-mainly playing ARAM, just to talk about our performance.

What do you think of today’s victory?

The first game took a long time, Hong regrets it. But in the second game, Macro was clean when entering the matchmaking phase, so I think it was a fairly satisfactory 2-0 victory.

What happened to the macro in the first game?

The opponent has Camille, but we haven’t considered the sidebar enough. We just tried to push and didn’t expect Camille to push, so she came in easily.

Today’s T1 roster is full of young players. You will have to lead them to become the only veteran in the lineup. how was it?

It is true that I must be a veteran leader, but the top mid-level players have performed well, so I don’t need to tell them to do much. Although they are rookies, they know the game very well. I think this is a good opportunity to provide them with experience. I look forward to their future.

Today is Oner’s debut. Isn’t he nervous?

I thought he was nervous, but he didn’t show much. Whenever he missed any skill hotspot, he would blame himself too much, so I just told him not to think too much about it.

In a recent interview, Faker said that he believes that age will not cause too much damage to mechanics, and he wants to prove it. what do you think?

For me, I haven’t felt it yet. I think I will play longer. I don’t play as much time as Faker. Faker has been playing for a long time-if Faker says that age will not harm the robot, then it will not. [Laughs] I think I need to play for a long time to feel it. I still don’t know whether skills will decline with age, or whether it is possible to improve further through hard work.

You haven’t played too much this season. are you fine?

I am not uncomfortable with this situation. It is regrettable when the team fails, and when I see regrettable moments in Sparse or LCK, we can improve these things. So I think in the game, I should try to avoid making the team make the same mistake.

You will not be satisfied with the current ranking of T1. What do you think is missing?

We need to bring our ideas together, but I don’t think it works. This happened while I was watching and playing. Sometimes, we seem to try to make a personal script, and focus too much on the line. We are not flexible enough. I think we should improve these parts to improve rankings.

The T1 lineup changes frequently. What is your opinion on this?

A similar rotation started last summer. At first, it was difficult, but now, I am used to it. So I just worked hard, thinking I should play well in the game.

Is the rotation of T1 determined by the best team in each game? Or is the team still trying different rosters?

We play a lot of scrims and interiors. The coaching staff observes well and works hard to reconcile the athletes and find the best combination.

I am also curious about meta. Only a few champions appeared on the professional stage.

There are indeed only a few champions, but I think this is also due to the player’s treasure trove. I think more cards can be used.

Have you played for 5-6 years? Are you happy now?

When I fail, it is difficult, but whenever I fail, I work harder. I will work hard when I win too, because I am happy. I just like games, and LOL is still fun. I am really happy.

Any comments?

Thank you for cheering for me. I will try my best.
