Q. You lost 1-2 in a close match. What are your thoughts on today's game?

Coach Cho Jae-eup = The players did well, but it's disappointing that we lost due to a difference in teamwork at critical moments.

'Lazephil' = I'm grateful that so many fans came out, but it's a shame we lost 1-2.

Q. You have now concluded the KRX Homefront schedule. Could you share your thoughts on that.

Coach Cho Jae-eup = I don't think there are many opportunities to have an experience like this outside of international tournaments, so I think it's a fresh and positive opportunity. I believe we can do better next time.

'Lazephil' = As a player, winning is the most important thing, but regardless of the result, I am truly grateful for the support from the fans in Vietnam.

Q. You definitely looked better than you did against Gen.G.

Coach Cho Jae-eup = Against Gen.G, we needed to bring out our strengths, but we couldn't. Today, I feel there were some shortcomings in our ban-pick strategy.

Q. Gaining experience on such a big stage in an official match, rather than an exhibition, must be a significant experience for the players, right?

Coach Cho Jae-eup = Being able to have this kind of experience during the regular season will be a huge help if we play in international tournaments later. In the Gen.G match, some players were on a big stage for the first time, which affected our performance.

Q. (To 'Lazephil') You received a huge ovation when you entered the stage?

'Lazephil' = I was really happy because so many fans gave me high-fives.

Q. A final word for the fans who visited the venue.

Coach Cho Jae-eup = I am truly grateful to the fans who traveled from afar. I wanted to give them a win, so I feel disappointed and sorry. If we have the chance to do this again, I want to make sure we win and show them a great performance. Please continue to support us.

'Lazephil' = I want to thank all the fans who came to the venue, including those of KRX, Gen.G, and Hanwha Life.

Q. (To 'Lazephil') I believe your own performance has contributed to the success of these overseas roadshows. What are your thoughts on that.

'Lazephil' = Personally, I don't think I'm a successful player yet, so I'm not sure if I've contributed. I want to work harder in the future to become a player who can contribute to the esports market.
