The last time I interviewed you, we were in Wuhan, China.
Things were looking great, and then disaster struck...
And now I'm sitting next to you and you're wearing a Team Liquid jersey so... can you
talk to me a little bit about like everything that happened since that last interview to
this one?
Well for the last like 2 months, everyone just asks me about TSM.
I wish people would ask me like... how I'm doing or how the team is doing and how I like
it on Team Liquid and like, what our goals are or like, just... things about the team
that I'm on now and the future, but like people love to dwell on the past they're like "you
want revenge? You wanna fuck um up? Like you wanna destroy them?"
well yea, I do so I say it that I do but really that's not my main goal
Its never been about that.
I don't like to just like dwell on the past I'm not like a revenge driven person and when
people ask me that like a billion times, it just gets really old.
I feel like they're trying to push a story that isn't genuine to me, so I mean I love
the team I'm on now and I just want to focus on what's next for Team Liquid.
I caught up with coach Cain just moments ago and he was very confident about his match up.
Saying that this team was definitely going to win
and that this roster had exceeded his expectations completely.
They're very experienced, and he couldn't be more pleased with this roster
With this team, I feel like the culture is a lot different than what I was used to.
I was used to a really strict and very serious sort of atmosphere and on TL I think we're
more of a group of friends who just has a lot of fun and we know the balance between
like working hard and still like, being friendly and having a positive attitude about things
Ahhhhh!!! WTF! 🤬
We know each others play style as a team, like we just knew like for example I know
how Impact plays when he's on this X champion or I know how Peter can play on a supportive
champion or even a carry champion and everyone's just really flexible
and like everyone's really keen to learn on like, new strategies.
We're now like, ten times better than Korea because Korea we didn't know how we can team
we just played solo but, we learned in Korea and coming to NA we're so duel yet,
and much better. I think it helped we boot camped before.
So much help.
Coach Cain, when I asked him about going up against TSM, what the scariest thing about
them was he replied with one word in English and it was "nothing".
Big opening day today.
Either Reggi rented a Lamborghini or he bought it?
Just for that?
Team Liquid running a tailgate Doublelift going up against his former team the org perhaps
making some of the biggest moves in the off-season Team Liquid
who will present the fruits of their labor vs the reigning champions in TSM.
We've got both owners of these orgs being incredibly vocal on Twitter towards each other,
I mean... if a rivalry didn't already exist, it definitely does now.
I don't... I don't see TL as competition. You know their always following in our foot steps!
You are underestimating us because we are going to shit on you today. That's just whats gonna happen.
I raise you $5,000 to charity let's make it $10,000. How about we do we do $15,000?
Done! Well 15 is done yes let's do 15 and we'll agree on charity let's go.
Fifteen thousand dollars to the charity of the winners choice.
That was unexpected. That escalated! That escalated really fast.
Very very quickly but I'm happy to say the stakes have been raised.
I don't think they could be raised for game one of the new season but they have.
I'm hype. I mean this game has got even more hype than it already was coming into it
With the owners now putting $15,000 on the line for charity as well on top of it.
So not only are we gonna get to see
of the highest-rated teams going head-to-head here in the opener but
there's gonna be a lot on the line champ select is over the fans are ready so are we
and the players loading into the game! The first game of the 2018 season of the
North American LCS TSM taken on liquid let's get in the game!
Under 30 minutes Liquid is gonna shut down TSM in the first game of the split!
Doublelift gets revenge on his old team.
Look at my flash! Look at my flash! Bew!
I wanna show you guys something. You get these if you win the world championship.
Ohhh... you get in Dota?
Yeah this is for Dota. We will make them for League of Legends.
It's real! Yeah.. yup!
Okay lets go! 🤑
Little bit of extra motivation!?
*Joy full chuckling*
I don't think we had any sort of special strategies per se.
But we just had champions that were good at. So I mean we had like a favorable pick and ban.
We were just able to snowball really hard and then they tried to fight
back at moments where they couldn't really fight back like there were
moments where they were really out of sync as well so we just kind of jumped
on that opportunity and so we were able to snowball really hard.
Late games soo good too. We snowballed with good champion. We had Tristana and GP.
We comboed and caught mistakes. Really easy end game so that's why it looked clean.
I understand enemy side. So I was really confident.
Alistar has to play like that, so I am gonna play like this.
So I was reacting to his every single play.
So I think I was very confident.
Oh wow! Team Liquid fans and Doublelift fans everywhere can be happy.
It wasn't like anything like the win are getting
revenge or anything it was mostly my fans like they can feel proud and they
can feel like wow I'm rewarded for being a TL fan or like a Doublelift fan.
I didn't know how would be to follow him over like that's the most gratifying moment.
How are you going to ensure that you continue winning throughout the split
starting with tomorrow's game versus Optic?
Ooh you know.. uhh.. actually I don't really even know whose on Optic!?
We know it's just a Doublelift soundbite but
if there's a level of disrespect towards this Optic team of "we're way better than
these guys and we can disrespect them" like Doublelift lost to Power of Evil at
the World Championship they need to treat optic like they treated TSM.
Don't underestimate these guys. Right now we are the best team in NA LCS.
So they just have a clean game.
Alright! Liquid on 3...
1... 2... 3... LIQUID!
If you can be competitive with Liquid who
according to Zaboutine is the best team in the league right now that does bode
well because if you can have a competitive team against the best then
you can certainly start taking games off someone else.
That's gonna be the Nexus.
Team Liquid start off week number one of the 2018 season 2 and 0.
I guess Optic played better than expected like they didn't make any crazy plays.
They didn't make many mistakes.
Yeah I mean they were stronger than we expected.
I think we just had a better draft on TSM
and then when we played against Optic kind of got out scaled but like we somehow won.
I think we're just better so that's how we win. But it's not good.. so we need to fix it.
The way that we won. It felt more random it didn't feel as controlled.
As we wrap up the weekend let's see how the teams stack up. Up top we've got 100 Thieves,
Cloud9, Echo Fox, and Team Liquid.
Back to best of one.
Call your mind back to two years ago this kind of stuff did happen fairly often
but still a very exciting first week.
All the single girls out there! This is my friend Joo-sung Kim he is single
and he's looking for a girl. Preferably Japanese. Are your DMs open on Twitter?
Mine are open...
His Twitter DMs are open make sure you slide in there he will respond very fast
I guarantee 24-hour turnaround!
I'm really happy to see my teammates happy I believe in my teammates and I
think our team always can come back or our team always can keep winning so now I
don't look at the enemy I just focus on my team because if our team is better.. like
We are gonna win no matter what.
Cheers! #LETSGOLIQUID!
To eight more weeks of 2-0s!
Don't smile! Serious! and no glasses!
Eugene want to get a hurt with me and Cain?
I've had a perm before when I was on Winterfox.
I think it looked okay actually.
100 Thieves I am really excited to play them. It looks like a good team they
went 2-0 the first week. They looked good and pretty much I want to play all of
the 2-0 teams and just see how well will do. Overall though like mostly just
looking forward to having good practice even if we lose the best one to me it's
not a big deal just the same as winning like it doesn't really mean as much when
you win the best of one or when you lose so for me though it's just the practice
leading up to playoffs that I have my goal set to.
