Despite their defeat, Gen.G's players reflected on how today's loss came to be in their post-match press conference featuring members of the media.


Gen.G had the lead on Lotus but then lost it in the latter part of the map. What do you think was the reason for the comeback by Heretics on Lotus?

Munhckin: "They had really good plans going into the second half in their of their macro. We had opportunities, but we couldn't capitalize on them.

As the team lost rounds, whenever Gen.G was shown on camera the team often looked frustrated. Was this due to mental pressure, or were there other issues affecting your gameplay?

Munchkin: "I think it's a little of both. I agree that our mental game wasn't the best today, but other aspects such as the smoke machine made it hard to breathe and see the monitor clearly. It got better in the third map, but overall, it was challenging."

Who do you think will advance to face you in the next match out of FPX and Sentinels, and how do you plan to prepare?

solo: "I genuinely don't know. It could be a coin flip between the two, they both have a chance. It doesn't really matter who we play next, because whoever who our opponent is, we'll just prep and play our best game."

Everyone was excited to see your interpretation of Abyss. How do you evaluate your preparation and performance on the map, and how well do you think Team Heretics reacted to your tactics?"

solo: "I'd say we're about 70-80% satisfied with our overall performance with our macro and executions on the map. There were a lot of mistakes, but they did play their best game when it came to executing. Heretics were making a lot of mistakes as well. As for Team Heretics, they didn't have any VODs for our Abyss, but I think they did pretty well."
