FLY Quad: “When we play scrims and then when we review, I always try to fight with Inspired because […] we need to [agree on] one opinion”

Q: I’ve heard you’re very outspoken and you love talking. Is there something you want to say to people that you haven’t gotten to?

Quad: I’m not really. I just try talking always.

Q: You’re always talking? What do you talk to your teammates about?

Quad: Usually, I’m just talking about only [the] game. I mean, I’m not really always talking, but I’m just trying because I have to practice English always. So I’m just trying.

Q: Do you watch any English TV shows or anything to practice?

Quad: Actually, no. I mean, I tried. I mean, I saw, one TV show, but I forgot the name. But it’s really popular, but I forgot the name. [E/N: It’s not Severance]

Q: Regarding team vibes and how you’ve been fitting in, do you have any fun stories lately?

Quad: I mean, this team is my first time [on an] American team, LA team. So I don’t know if this culture is normal or is unique, but umm… it’s probably unique, maybe.

Q: FLY do have a very fun culture. What what about the culture is so fun and unique?

Quad: I think in the West people […] are [more] honest than Asian people, in my opinion. And then they [also say] some funny things, but maybe I can’t say that now.

Q: Give me something, some funny story or your favorite funny story.

Quad: Ummm… No no no, I can’t. Sorry. I’m really sorry.

Q: You’re more experienced than someone like Massu. Do you mostly let Inspired & Bwipo & coaches take the conversation, or are you always providing your opinion too?

Quad: I always, I mean, our team like, how to say it? In-game order. [E/N: Something like in-game shotcalling.] Right? Usually, Inspired is the [in-game leader]. But when we play scrims and then when we review, I always try to fight with Inspired because […] we need to [agree on] one opinion — because if we have lot of opinions, it’s hard to play the game.

Q: So in the game, you can’t disagree, but after the game, you’ll you’ll argue with him and figure out what the correct thing is to do.

Quad: Yeah, that’s right.

Q: How are you liking LA and the general environment outside of team stuff?

Quad: I mean, I like [the] environment [here], and […] their weather is always nice. And then there’s food also. I like their, like, breakfast. Like egg, bacon, like potato. I really like this. And then actually, when I have off day or when I have free time, I don’t go outside because, I need to save my energy.

Q: Wait, what do you do on off days?

Quad: Oh, just stay home. I like, sometimes, I go outside for just breakfast.

Q: What’s your favorite food here?

Quad: Oh, just, American breakfast, like egg, bacon, sausage, potato.

Q: Like diner food? Do you have a favorite restaurant?

Quad: I mean, I don’t know many restaurant, but I like [a breakfast place] in my apartment first floor, really close. That’s why I go outside in off days. It’s very close.

Q: Generally, how often do you talk to your parents/family, are they visiting you?

Quad: I mean, I don’t really [talk] with my parents. Sometimes talking.

Q: Mostly hanging out with team?

Quad: No. Just I like alone, by the way. *laughs* I like everyone, but when I get free time, I like being alone.

Q: So what do you do when you’re alone? You just chill? You play games?

Quad: I just chill. I […] sometimes play League of Legends, sometimes play TFT, sometimes just live in, like, bed. Then, maybe, like, just watch YouTube or-

Q: What do you like watching on YouTube?

Quad: Actually, I watch game too.

Q: You watch League?

Quad: Yeah. Like, League or just different game, like, TFT or Valorant.

Q: Oh, you watch Valorant too? Do you play?

Quad: I mean, now I don’t play, but, like, two years ago, three years ago, I played.

Q: Do you watch, like, NA Valorant? Pro teams?

Quad: No. I mean, I watch [a] streamer play Valorant. […] Korean Streamer.

Q: You don’t have any favorite memories you can share recently with the team?

Quad: Ah… [sighs] I don’t know, actually. I don’t have funny things. [laughs] Maybe I’m just a boring person.

Q: What’s your opinion on mid meta?

Quad: I mean, this meta, I think […] can play whatever champ because, there is no OP champ, I think. So I agree with this meta. I am actually, I don’t mind mid meta because I’m [a] pro player. And then I just like this meta, and then I like Fearless because it’s so funny. And then we can see every different champion, so it’s good.

Q: Can you tell me who the who you think the best midlaners are? Like, let’s say, top three.

Quad: Top three? Without me, or? *laughs*

Q: You can include yourself.

Quad: Oh, yeah. I’m best for sure. I think Saint is second. And then third… actually, hard to choose 3rd player. Maybe Quid?

Q: Then who’s #4, since you think 3rd is hard to pick?

Quad: APA Loki. APA and then Loki.
