Karmine Corp kicked off their Spring Split with a win, but it wasn't clean. A dominant game one from Vitality, a nail-biting game two, and a decisive game three that finally showed what this team can do when things click. Bok "Reapered" Han-gyu spoke to RFT.GG right after the series, touching on the slow start, the progress — and lack thereof — on playing through Canna, the relationship with Zeph on draft, and what the schedule ahead looks like.
How are you doing today?
It's fine. It was a bit of a stressful day — some banger action in game two. But in the end, game one was a sweep by them and game three was a sweep by us. Fair. We won, so I'm happy.
Canna and Yike didn't look up to their standard, especially in early game 1 and 2. Are KC slow starters again?
Yeah. I still think that as a team, we just need to get used to being on stage — the scrim vibes and the stage vibes are totally different, as I can say after ten years in pro play. Once we get used to it, we're going to consistently play better.
But also — we just came back from the break and our schedule is going to be extremely tight this Spring, between the EWC qualifier and potentially So we took an extra break for the team to manage the schedule. We've been prepping for this match with only one week of scrims. It's no surprise we're struggling a bit at the start.
