Hanwha Life Esports’ Kumayushi’ Lee Min-hyung, who defeated BNK PeerX and rose to second place, told the story behind the mouse pad ceremony.
Hanwha Life Insurance defeated BNK Peer Hanwha Life Insurance, which won two games in a row, jumped to second place with 3 wins and 1 loss (+3). On the other hand, BNK won the set, but was unable to continue the victory and suffered three consecutive losses in the opening game.
Lee Min-hyung said in an interview, “I won 2-1 against BNK. I unfortunately lost the second set, but I’m happy because winning was important anyway.”
When asked about the mistakes in the 2nd set, he said, “The 2nd set is a combination that is unfavorable in the second half,” and analyzed, “The opponent took a lot of dragons, and we had to use mid and jungle to strengthen the early game, but we did not do that well.”
When asked if it was a difficult match, Lee Min-hyung replied, “I didn’t expect a landslide victory. BNK lost all of their matches, but they were the team that made it to the first stand. I thought it wouldn’t be easy because they had the potential.”
As for holding a mouse pad (long pad) ceremony after winning, he said, “I am working as an ambassador for a specific brand. I wanted to show it off because it was a custom mouse pad specially made by them. If you look closely, you will be able to find details. It contains three stars meaning three fits and my signature pose. And it contains the phrase ‘I prove it in every game.'”
Hanwha Life Insurance faces DN Supers and Gen.G Esports in the third week. Lee Min-hyung said, “I hope we can continue our winning streak,” and “I see the rankings changing every time we play. That’s what motivates me. I really want to be in first place.”
