Head coach AOD Highlights the Benefits of Maintaining a Consistent Lineup for Another Split

How has your team prepared for this tournament? Have you implemented any unique strategies or training procedures?

- Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary, really. We just stuck to the structure we are used to, ensuring we picked up where we left off the last split. 

- It's all about building on what we already have.

How will you capitalize on your team's strengths during the tournament?

- To handle the pressure, we've got to stay true to who we are as a team and remember the valuable lessons we learned from the previous split.

- We can't afford to make wrong decisions when the heat is on.

Have any changes or improvements been made to your team leading up to the tournament?"

- We've been working on a few in-game aspects, like champions and map strategies, which have made us stronger. And having the same lineup for another split has its advantages. We can pick up where we left off on many vital topics.
