On what could stop KC from winning LEC:

"I think the ego - we get too much ego, or we don't take as much from the practice as possible, like the scrims or watching the games. I think that's the biggest mistake a team can make, to lose the fire you have, you know.

We're very good right now, but it's very easy to have just one bad best-of-five in playoffs, and you lose confidence, and everything gets harder from there. So it's just about not losing to ourselves, that's the main thing."

On choosing MVP between Caliste and Kyeahoo:

"I'll give it to Kyeahoo, because it's also his first year in LEC, and he's been doing so good so far, playing very, very well. Also, the way he communicates what he wants and needs is very impressive to me.

On specific differences in strengths between the two:

"For Kyeahoo, it's probably laning-phase knowledge - he knows exactly when I can help him, or when Busio can help him, what timing works for that, and he's very vocal about it.

For Caliste, it's team fights - I think he's probably the best player at that, at least in Europe. The way he clicks, the way he plays team fights, the way he outspaces all the enemies - that's a very impressive thing about Caliste."

Hab mal (hoffentlich) alle bekannten VAN-Fehlermeldungen mitsamt Lösungshilfen zusammengestellt. Vielleicht hilft das ja dem ein oder anderen, schneller wieder ins Spiel zu kommen. :)

• Admits to a personally rough showing in both games: "I had a really bad performance both games."
• Asked directly why his preseason "this is our last chance, we cannot waste it" callout (Sheep Esports) hasn't sparked a turnaround yet, he had no real answer: "I don't know, that's the honest answer."
• Still believes in the roster's individual talent, says they "know what we're capable of doing."
• Enjoys the current jungle-support-heavy meta, calls it "pretty much 90% of the game."
• Confirms he's not going anywhere: locked in on MKOI through 2028, "for sure."

TL;DR: GiantX played against Shifters on Friday >!(won 2-1; Oscarinin was series MVP off the back of a surprise (but not random) Warwick pick and was according to Guilhoto pivotal beyond that one game too)!<despite a rocky start following the Flakked/Oscarinin roster overhaul - Guilhoto says the team is still adjusting to a completely new meta with all five players, just slower than he'd like.

Guilhoto also weighed in on the current state of the LEC (thinks KC is the most stable team right now, but no team should ever be fully satisfied) and closed with a notably personal, only partly explained reflection on the last two years.

• On the messy start since Flakked and Oscarinin joined: "That's kind of the definition of a gamble, I guess." Says the team keeps getting better at adapting to the new meta - just slower than he'd like.
• On Oscarinin's Warwick pick in game 3 (series MVP): "You have to be a really good Warwick to make it work, and Oscar is really good on it." Says Oscar was pivotal throughout the series, not just off that one pick.
• On the current state of the LEC: thinks a lot of teams are in a weird state right now and KC is the most stable, but "no one should ever be completely satisfied with how they play."
• On his biggest success at GiantX over the last two years: says it "has nothing to do with League of Legends" and that the last two years "really changed my life a lot - by need."

I interviewed G2s BrokenBlade after their 2-0 win vs. SK Gaming; here's the tl;dr

• Says the draft could've been better today ("our gameplay was pretty chaotic, but I'm happy with the win regardless")
• On new head coach Perkz: "A lot has changed in how we work and how we train" & "it's a completely different structure, which of course need a bit of time"
• On the current (botlane) meta: "It's not inherently bad, but the real issue is supports roaming the whole map instead of laning" & "It's not fun when the opposing support ganks you level 1"
• On the packed 2026 calendar (EWC, First Stand, roadshows): "we're long past the limit" - calls it unsustainable long-term, says he's dialing back SoloQ to recover (the roadshow are cool though and hopes it sticks around)
• On Worlds 2026: feels confident given G2's international final earlier this year - "I think this year is very doable"
