In the recently concluded first round of the Winners’ Bracket in PGL Valhalla S1, XG Esports emerged victorious against fellow Chinese team G2×iG with a 2-0 score, advancing to the next stage. After the match, XG’s mid laner Xm was interviewed on the main stage.
Host: G2×iG allowed you to pick Dragon Knight in the draft. Were you surprised by their decision?
Xm: Maybe they’re more afraid of some of my other heroes, and we didn’t ban any heroes that counter Dragon Knight either.
Host: You’ve won all your matches so far with a 2-0 scoreline. You must be very confident now. Your previous performance in Birmingham wasn’t as smooth. Do you have higher expectations for this tournament?
Xm: We were eliminated early in the last tournament, but this time, things are going well, and it feels like luck is on our side. We’re quite happy, which makes us more confident, and we’re playing better.
Host: With such confidence, do you feel that you can go further in this competition?
Xm: Yes, I think we should be able to achieve a decent result.
