TSW WarHorse: "My expectation is not only LCP, but also on the international stage"

Team Secret Whales opened MSI with a 3-0 loss to Hanwha Life, dropping the LCP's first seed into the lower bracket. RFT.GG sat down with TSW head coach Chen "WarHorse" Ju-Chih — a Worlds winner with FPX and a veteran of the Flash Wolves era — to talk about the gap to the world's best, the mentality he wants from his teenage roster, and where the Secret Whales project is headed.

What are your first thoughts after that opening series?

Right now, what's on my mind is that when we compete against other regions — the top teams — there's still a gap between us.

HLE came into this tournament as one of the favourites. Going 0-3, was it a gap of pure level, or more about specific things you can adjust for the rest of the bracket?

TSW is by some distance the youngest team here. How much does that youth shape the way you coach, and do you see it as a strength or something to manage on a stage like this?

TSW arrived at MSI undefeated in LCP Split 2. People say you learn the most from defeats — could it actually be a danger not to have faced one before an international stage?

As the LCP champion, do you find it hard to get good practice back home for international events?

Do you think that mentality was what was lacking in game three?

Last year CFO overperformed internationally, and that kind of result creates a weight of expectation. Do you feel that pressure coming in, and how do you manage it with young players?

You've been at the top before — Worlds with FPX, the legendary Flash Wolves era. With such a young roster now, how much of your role is passing down that experience versus letting them figure things out their own way?

What's the ultimate goal of this Secret Whales project? Do you have specific expectations at the international level, or is it more about building something longer term?
