Giants Betsy “We’ve Been Underrated”

Join us to find out what mid laner Felix thinks.”Betsy“Edling on the strength of Giants Gaming this season.

OK, let’s get to the first question, Veigar. You just had a performance with Veigar. It has been a long time since we have seen this card in professional matches. What brought Veigar back to earth?

It all started in a practice match against a pretty weak team. They picked Veigar against our Azir, because they weren’t playing well so you know, I thought this was a really bad pick. It turned out to be a very good card. We still won, but it forced me to test the champion myself. It doesn’t always work, but once active, Veigar is very strong in teamfights. That’s why I chose this champion.

Veigar is clearly a good fit for the current extended match meta. Is it because Veigar himself has a very good buff, or is it because when the opponent is trying to power up, Veigar shows up with an R button?

I don’t know if Veigar’s strength against other champions is as clear as against Azir, but with this pick, as the game drags on, Veigar can still increase his buffs and cause damage. control effect.

Usually when Veigar appears, the opponent will choose an assassin champion and easily take him down. But in this meta, it’s rare for anyone to pick an assassin, is that why you’re comfortable choosing Veigar or is there another reason?

The fact that you can get on the Abyss Mask makes Veigar a bit more buffalo, which helps a lot. It is true that in addition to mages, Veigar is also easily destroyed by assassins, but assassins are not popular in this meta. Currently, with the long range meta and control in teamfights, Veigar is a very strong pick.

I’m sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but it seems very few people look at the Giants going into the season and think, “Wow, they’re going to be 2nd.” And even so, looking at the results of the past 2 weeks it is not difficult to see that you are the team with the most surprising results. What’s your secret? How are you able to coordinate smoothly while the experienced teams are still struggling?

First of all, I think we have a lot of underrated players, especially Djoko, he received a lot of criticism and criticism but I think he played really well and that helps everyone. win. And it’s also very important to practice, we’ve won about 90% of the bouts. Plus we’ve felt very understanding of each other, we’re all friends. Solidarity kept us calm and focused on the game.

What about yourself? What is your role in the team? Are you a reader of information, a commander, or simply following orders?

In the beginning, I had to help a lot with communication, not everyone on the team talked much, but gradually we communicated better. We have three people who talk more than the other members: Steelback, Djoko and me. With Djoko in the jungle, I can play really comfortably because his playing style is very aggressive, making my performances more impressive than ever.

I see your most recent match has a lot of fighting going on, seems like you intentionally created a fight in the jungle area? Is that your plan?

At first we just focused on taking enemy turrets, and when Baron showed up we had to focus on Baron and make it the perfect fight zone. We kept creating situations to catch Baron until they were cornered in a bad situation.

How do you feel when Ryze is nerfed, the hourglass Zhonya now blocks his ultimate?

I really don’t think it’s going to affect Ryze too much, his strength is not evading but strong laning, I mean Ryze is hard to counter in the current meta. . Ryze can barely go TOP after this nerf but his power is still there. Even changing minions to attack when Ryze gets armor too many times won’t affect this champion much.

Last question, out of the current LCS teams, who do you have your eyes on and who do you most want to beat?

For me personally it’s ROCCAT because I’ve been in their squad for a long time and I think it will be fun to beat them. But obviously I also want revenge on Vitality. I know we were the ones who lost that game on our own but I feel like we were the ones who deserved to win. I think we played better than them, so I want revenge.

Betsy will have his chance very soon, when Giants Gaming is about to have a confrontation with ROCCAT this Friday, February 2. Will the giants be able to win as Betsy expected. ?
