CFO Driver: “This is Bo5, so I’d really like to showcase on the stage against Faker. I feel that’s a very good opportunity.”

"I'm feeling really excited, because there's so many well-known and very strong players on T1, and also my role model, Faker, is there as well — I’ve watched Faker play since I was very young."

Q: How’s Vancouver? How are you liking Canada?

Driver: I’ve really enjoyed the place. I enjoyed the city of Vancouver. I feel like the scenery, all the stuff, the place we’re living — everything’s good. I feel very relaxed here. And maybe if I got a chance, I’d like to maybe live here. So, I enjoy the city.

Q: If you want to come over to NA, you’re welcome to — our top laners aren’t *that* great.

Driver *laughing before the question was translated*: I’m not that strong. And you’ve got good [top laners].

Q: How have scrims generally been going? How’s competitive condition?

Driver: So this is the third day we have been to Vancouver. We’ve only done some practice for one day, because the first day after we arrived to the hotel, we just rested and didn’t have enough adaptation to the jet lag. So after that, day 2, after going to Riot’s shoots, we got time to do some practice, but it feels like jet lag is still a problem for us.

So I think our practice is kind of messy. I’m not that satisfied with that. Maybe we need a little more time to adapt better and try our best to have better momentum.

Q: If G2 wins, T1 will be your round one opponent. What do you think of that matchup?

Driver: I’m feeling really excited, because there’s so many well-known and very strong players on T1, and also my role model, Faker, is there as well — I’ve watched Faker play since I was very young.

Also this is Bo5, so I’d really like to showcase on the stage against Faker. I feel that’s a very good opportunity. Really looking forward to that.

Q: Do you have more dances prepared for this tournament?

Driver: Because we’ve got all Bo5’s in this tournament, every opportunity is very precious. For me, 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.

Q: Are there any teams you’re looking forward to facing?

Driver: GenG and BLG as well, since we haven’t met these two teams before, not in scrims either. And I believe they’re just super strong, incredibly strong

I’ll be super excited if we got a chance to face off against them, and we’re just gonna learn a lot from the matches no matter what the result is. I”m really looking forward to maybe getting a chance to face off against those two teams.

Q: Are there any Western players you follow or watch?

Driver: The top laner from MKOI, Myrwn, has left me a very strong impression, but I don’t want to play against him because he has a super unique champion pool.

It could be really troublesome, really hard for me to handle his pocket picks. So yeah, I know him, but I don’t really want to play against this [stuff]. It would be a hard game.

Q: Have you been watching the playins games at MSI?

Driver: I watched the playins games, especially I put more attention to the GAM Esports top laner Kiaya, because we’ve faced off against eachother so many times, and we feel like we’re kind of at a similar level. So if he’s really able to showcase on stage, I’m also maybe — with my level of strength — [able] to perform better on stage as well. From my observation, he really did a super good job and so I’m proud of him.

Q: Tier list of top laners?

Q: Do you have a message for HongQ? I’m talking to him soon.

Driver: For this MSI, this is going to just be your stage, so please just showcase all your talents here. You are young, but you are so talented.
