CR Interview of Stalk3r, Junbin and Vigilante
it's an interview from CR's fanclub app. machine translated so there might be inaccuracies
Q. What motivated you to join CR?
Stalk3r: When I hadn't decided on a team yet, CR offered me very good terms. Because of that, I chose them without hesitation.
Vigilante: When I played against CR while on T1 last year, I felt they were a very tricky team to face. It just so happened they gave me an opportunity, so I ended up joining.
Q. You were on a team that used to beat CR, but now you’ve joined them.
Stalk3r: I wasn't thinking about "rival teams." I was focused on the contract conditions and my desire to win. Since those were my priorities, I think that’s how I ended up at CR.
Q. Junbin, how has the team atmosphere changed since these two joined?
Junbin: Max seems excited because he has a friend his age now (Vigilante). As for Stalk3r, he already knew some of the existing members, so he got close to everyone quickly.
Vigilante: It feels exactly like a middle school field trip. Everyone is energetic and the team house is just so noisy. It’s fun.
Stalk3r: In all my time as a pro, I’ve never been on a team this noisy.
Q. Who is the loudest?
Stalk3r: When Max starts getting noisy, he’s incredibly loud. The support duo is no better either.
Q. HeeSang and Lip are the team’s DPS players. What do you usually talk about? How is the synergy?
Stalk3r: I haven't talked to HeeSang a ton, we mostly just say things to the extent of "this looks good" to each other. Lip only thinks about playing for fun lately, I'll have to watch him and get him back in line.
Q. Vigilante, you often play competitive with Ch0r0ng. What is he like?
Vigilante: Overall he's great, but once he gets fixated on some weird crap, it's hard to break him out of it. When that happens, we'll have a serious talk with each other. (sounds like a joke)
Q. Who do you think would be the scariest when angry?
Vigilante: Back in the WAC days, I arrived at the venue and I remember WAC lost that day. I was washing my hands in the restroom when I heard someone yell "HEY!!" It was a shout like that, I think it was coach Moon. If I ever heard that directed at me, it would be terrifying...
Stalk3r: Coach Moon jokes around a lot normally, but he’s really scary when he gets serious.
Junbin: It's cute that Stalk3r and Vigilante feel that way; coach Moon is just cute to me. The person who is actually scary when angry (a fact only I know) is Coach Kong. Kong's Great Wrath is a different level from Moon being angry.
Q. Personal goals for this season / An opponent you don’t want to lose to?
Vigilante: Winning a major tournament and getting Finals MVP / I especially don't want to lose to T1.
Stalk3r: It would be a good start to win the Japan Major and then winning the Grand Finals / There’s no team in Korea I'm worried about, so Twisted Minds. Seeing other Korean teams lose to them while I wasn't playing myself makes me want to beat them.
Junbin: Stopping Shu from winning the Grand Finals / I want to beat the European teams.
Q. There were many roster changes for the top teams. How do you view the top-tier teams' rosters?
Junbin: I think each team’s "color" has become distinct. From a spectator’s view, you’ll see many different team compositions. It’ll be more fun.
Stalk3r: It feels like all the teams are pretty balanced now. Because of that, both playing and watching will be exciting.
Vigilante: I agree with the previous opinions.
Q. Out of the top 4 teams, is there one you are determined to beat?
Vigilante: T1.
Q. A final word to the fans watching OWCS?
Junbin: There were roster changes this year, but two great players have joined, so I think we can show you some fun matches. I'd appreciate it if you could cheer for our upcoming games. Arigato gozaimasu.
Stalk3r: I know there might be some concerns about my return, but I will work hard so that you only see me performing well. Thank you.
Vigilante: It’s the same cliché I always say, but thank you for your support. I will continue to work hard to always show you my best side. Thank you.
