Comunicado de Nisqy sobre su Experiencia en Korea. Sin mas que decir os dejo con ella.
Hey all ! Nisqy released a video today giving his thoughts on his and MAD's Worlds run, was from a recent stream of his, and I thought it would be interesting to translate it for you guys since it's fully in french (Here's a link if you're interested)
"So we arrive in Korea, they show us the bootcamp facility, but we just spam SoloQ at first, I think from the 31st to the 5th or 6th, then the others arrived except Chasy. And from that point we started the scrims and they were going well. I was happy, there was no mental boom, no problems, it was great. Even before the day off, we go out together, drink a bit, it was nice.
But then towards the last few days we start to play better teams, and I notice that it's starting to get worse, there's already small problems, we don't know what to play, so we already have a few bans planned for the swiss stage so this was good but yeah"
He then goes to say how the last 3 days before the start of swiss stage went and they couldn't scrim for 2 of the 3 days because of content days but that's the same for everyone
"First game against C9, we're playing champs that we didn't really play prior to that, I don't know why, draft went a bit weird, we didn't know how to play, some players wanted to engage, some players didn't. Starting from this game, there was a disconnection between us on how to play the map, how to play the draft, how to play the fights.
Then we play BDS, and we win. But I don't know if you noticed but against BDS, we played Bel'veth and I blind picked Liss. For me, to win the draft and the game, I know we have to play Liss, I know I have to play supportive mid, because on paper if you play well as a team you can play supportive mid. But the moment you don't play as 5, playing a supportive mid is useless. So in the game against BDS it was alright, we cheesed lvl 1, Yoya was in front and he carried.
Then game 3, we play NRG, and here ... they first pick Maokai, we didn't think they'd pick him. I think our winrate against Maokai is -780000000. Problem was that we didn't really want to play the champ. But like for example Ori was a champ we banned a lot because I didn't see myself play Ori. I know that mechanically I'm good on her, I can play her but I didn't think that the champ could make us win because of the way we were playing the games. So I replaced Ori with Azir. In the end they picked Sylas in 4/5 when I wanted to pick Sylas in 5th so I should have picked it 4th and I think it would have changed a lot, but it happens. I end up picking Taliyah and this game, I was so mad, I wanted to punch my screen, I didn't know what I could do to win, like I was trying to come up with solutions during the game to win but I had the feeling that we weren't playing the same game and that really annoyed me.
After the game against NRG, I told the team I won't play supportive mids anymore, I don't want to play Taliyah or Liss, I'll play Azir/Sylas/Neeko, and I told them I feel like it's the best champs I can play in order to win. Like I think if you're a pro player, you have to believe in your picks and know what will make your team win, and for me to be able to perform at my best, I knew I had to play Sylas, Neeko and Azir.
With that in mind I spammed those in scrims, I was confident against Weibo. Ahri I also picked because we would pick Vi a lot and I was also okay with that pick. The thing also is that we didn't have any power pick, we didn't have anyone that wanted a first pick on a particular champ or anything, so that's also why I really didn't care about picking Sylas in 3rd because I knew I would do good on him no matter what.
So Game 1, I play very well, I go for plays that I would have not done before because I felt like I really didn't care anymore, I just wanted to play at my best. The game was pretty tough and I feel like they had a good comp into Sylas. I made a big mistake top when I gave 1k gold and then I didn't really execute the last 2 teamfights well. At that moment I thought that if we won this game, we would be winning against Weibo because we would have started to trust ourselves more and trust me that I was able to carry. But when I didn't end up carrying game 1, I knew that game 2 was going to be really tough because TheShy was doing really well, their botlane was super good, I felt like I had to make the difference.
Game 2 I picked Ahri, I should have maybe picked Sylas but I wanted to try something else, maybe Neeko too. I don't know I was a bit lost after game 1, but I knew we coudl still win, I knew that if I played like 10/10 and that we play as 5, we could win but game 2 was too hard to play. We didn't have enough damage, they had too much peel, I think Renata was a big issue against our comp. Overall we had champion pool issues, we didn't have a lot of champ on each role, so we were limited during the drafts.
After the game I was disappointed, but I was also a bit happy. I was disappointed because we lost, we were out and the year was over, but I knew that the team was already over. We didn't really want to play together, team chemistry was not great, you had offseason at the same time with lots of rumours. I already said in interview that for me, I was happy of my individual performance, but I was disappointed that I couldn't lead the team more. Because the very great mid they have this aura around them, like Faker even if he doesn't play 10/10, when you have him, or Chovy in your team it's something. But I felt it was really difficult, we didn't have the same vision on how to play the game, and I felt liek it got even worse during Worlds.
So at the end of the tournament I wasn't sad, I mean I was a bit because we lost but for me, I managed to outperform Xiaohu during game 1, like I think this game unlocked me, I didn't have pressure anymore. I think these Worlds, it made me realize that I can actually perform against asian mids, because I remember when I used to play this kind of player like Chovy, Xiaohu, I would put them a bit above me, but when I played Weibo I didn't care who was against me, and that's why I want to come back next year so I can show day 1 that I'm able to fight against them. There's a lot I still need to improve on to reach the level of guys like Chovy or Knight.
Moreover, I want a team that wants to play together. I don't want a team where durring offseason, you wanted to sell two players and you couldn't. I just want 5 players that want to play the game and learn together, that search for solutions together, that's what I want. Another thing I'm happy with is that I managed to keep a good mental during this Worlds even with all the bumps. Overall I think I had a good year, I was pretty consistent."
Bueno Gente os dejo esta joyita por aquí, y luego si eso ya comente cuando me calme un poco, por que esto es un atentado a muchos principios de ser ProPlayer.
