Chovy: "We [also beat T1] at MSI last year but that doesn't mean much. I feel we still need to get our revenge at Worlds." Ruler: "Similar thought. Beating T1 at Worlds will feel like true revenge." — Gen.G press conference after winning #MSI2025 highlights🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"Throughout this MSI, I believe our team has been doing extremely well, and that’s why this loss is so regretful [and painful] Despite us losing against GEN twice, I believe we are capable of defeating them." — T1 Faker in #MSI2025 press conference 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

Riot addresses: > Future changes to the LTA merger and LTA viewership > Considering double elimination at Worlds > League of Legends Game Changers (and more!) Global Product Strategy, Lolesports: Brett Lautenbach Game Director, League of Legends: Pu Liu 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

❝I do think it would be pretty tough if I didn’t have the fans’ attention or love. I think I was very lucky to debut with T1, who have an incredible amount of fans. I used to think it was unbelievable.❞ — T1 Oner on the #T1WIN fanbase #MSI2025 interview 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

❝Not everyone outside of our circle fully understands the picture [of the team]. We just try to focus less on what others are saying — if people say [...] "They won't be successful without this player," we just try to ignore them.❞ — T1 Oner on their team at #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I'll definitely remember today. The moment I heard the Silver Scrapes song and all the cheering from the LPL fans [...] This is the best memory I've ever had on stage." — AL Shanks after elimination from #MSI2025 press conference highlights🧵(❤️🔥♻️)

"The first time I [played with the crowd against me] was 2019 Worlds against G2. Back in the day, those kinds of things really got in my head and affected me. [But] those things don’t really get to me [anymore]." —GEN Canyon with Kiin in press conference highlights 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"It was a really close game, so I’m quite sad [...] I’ll just keep thinking like we have [one more match] to make the finals." "We faced BLG before, and I’d prefer facing as many teams as possible, so I’d prefer to face AL." — T1 Doran w/ Oner highlights 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I don't think I played good, I don't think I played like shit. I think at Worlds, I played a lot more flashy hypercarries [...] I think I'm a better player than I was at Worlds, so it's hard for me to say I played better [back then] — because I don't think I did." — FLY Massu

[Continued from last thread] Inspired: even though he was blind-picked first. And we ended up playing Zilean, which we never really played. And yeah, I think we just got kinda out-drafted there. I think it was a really smart draft by them, and credit to their coach and them.

FLY Inspired and Busio address: - Why they picked Kalista - Inspired learning to "play more selfish" next time - Why they picked Zilean - How they feel after being eliminated from #MSI2025 press conference🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I feel like when we have such a young player on our team, we also start acting quite like kids ourselves. We do fight around and play around quite often amongst the team — and that brings up the team spirit." —CFO Junjia on playing with HongQ #MSI2025 interview 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"Chovy, the entirety of this year, has been displaying great performances, so I’m really excited for the matchup. Maybe because of [my improvement] throughout MSI, I’m kind of anticipating us finally getting to beat GEN this time around." — T1 Faker🧵with T1 Keria (❤️🔥♻️) :

❝It’s very hard to predict the result for the next series, because FLY are definitely a very strong team as well [...] As BLG, we need to try our best to prepare more for facing off against FLY.❞ — BLG Bin in press conference with Beichuan 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

❝I think it would’ve been really nice to have our team dog around. She’s always around in Shanghai, and I feel like I always get amazing dog therapy when I have her with me. I do miss her.❞ — AL Kael on the team dog, Bali 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"If I had to pick one player [I enjoy meeting], it must be FLY's top laner Bwipo. He's a really friendly person, and I really appreciate the opportunity for us to speak to each other." — AL Tarzan Press Conference with Flandre🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"[Skewmond] played pretty well; I think it was pretty hard to get a lead over him. I think he was just doing his job. I think his teammates sometimes just inted a bit too much." — FLY Inspired on G2 SkewMond press conference with FLY Busio 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I don’t think I played that well today. I think we obviously got super-stomped, and especially the first game was very bad on my part. I don’t think, though, that [this] means that I’m close to the end of my career." — G2 Caps on elimination from #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️)

❝We still have more creative champs, but you don't just force it for the sake of creativity; you pick it when it's good. [...] Maybe you can [force it], but we believe we're a good team, so we don't need to.❞ — FLY Busio on criticisms of their "standard" drafts 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"[Against FLY], it's gonna be fun playing against my former teammate Inspired. [...] Rogue ... it's been a while. It would be four years ago. Fun memories. It's gonna be fun to face off against him." — G2 HansSama on facing FLY at #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"Based on what I’ve watched so far here at MSI, other regions look very strong [...] I think the gap has for sure closed" "[Before], I believe LCK & LPL were the two dominant regions — but this MSI [...] all the regions are on the same level." — T1 Gumayusi and Doran

"Theoretically, I should be the one to play Ornn, but because of my bad condition [at the moment], Rest [had to] take this responsibility. But he shouldn't have needed to. I feel really sorry for him that he had to take this on" — CFO Driver Conference w/ Kaiwing🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I didn't know much about Jojopyun before this game, but after today's best of five, I'd really like to give a big shoutout to Jojopyun — he did very well." — BLG Knight on MKOI Jojopyun Press Conference highlights🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"Today, we played fine, but I don't think we played insane. I think we made plenty of mistakes. Credit, of course, to BLG — because they are a strong team — but I have no doubt, if we face them again, we will beat them." — MKOI Alvaro MKOI Alvaro + Supa 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"It's going to be a very interesting match because I think I'm the youngest one in this tournament for the mid laners, and he's the most experienced one. I've actually watched Faker play League of Legends since I was very young — maybe elementary school." — CFO HongQ 🧵(❤️🔥♻️)

"I think KOI vs. BLG can be pretty close. Closer than [FLY vs AL], most definitely. I don’t think BLG is as clean as some of the other Eastern teams" "I could see KOI winning; I wouldn’t be absolutely shocked [...] 3-1 or 3-2 BLG." — FLY Busio on MKOI vs BLG at #MSI2025 (❤️🔥♻️)

"After every single victory, I’m just going to celebrate it with my dance. To be honest, I’m already thinking about what kind of dances I want to show on stage. So yeah, looking forward to that." — CFO Driver on #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I feel like if FlyQuest can manage to play around how aggressive AL plays, maybe there's a chance for them to win for sure. In this meta, I feel like there's always a chance that people can win." "I think it might be 3-2, AL." — G2 Hans Sama on FLY vs AL at #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :
