Shifters lost their opening match of the split to SK Gaming, widely considered one of the bottom teams in the league. RFT.GG caught up with nuc right after.
On paper, facing SK on opening day looked like a favourable draw but it ended in a clean 0-2 this Saturday. RFT.GG spoke with Nuc shortly after — still stunt, the midlaner delivered a rare moment of honesty, covering the drafts, the team's process, the Korea bootcamp, his offseason and more.
On paper you were facing arguably the worst team in the league. What happened for you to get 2-0'd?
I think we had a very poor preparation for both matches. We were just very badly prepared in terms of what we wanted to play and how we saw the current meta. For the first game, it created their point of strength — they had champions that could come mid and I couldn't touch the wave. And if they came at me, on repeat. We couldn't respond in terms of champions. It was either I get poked out forever, or I try to play on timers and flip a bit. For the second game, same thing — in terms of composition, there wasn't much sense to it together. And apart from that, it's just the snowball effect. We got snowballed in the first, and in the second too, even though I think we could have won it because we had the tools to come back. But even in pure head to head, there was nothing optimal.
D'accord nuc, mais t'es titulaire au moins ?
