IG Ning: "When we see strong teams, I think the entire squad wants to play up to their potential. We want to bring 100% of our performance. But when we play against [weaker teams], we try to play a...happier game...and play for fun a little more."

Really well written. IG is such a meme team in China. One day Jacky decided to play Rek Sai jg and he shouted at 100%volume on stream asking Ning what masteries to take. Instead of walking a 5 s round trip, Ning shouted back equally loud and this became a shouting contest meme LOL

Thanks! Time zone differences mean I'm trying to sleep as my stuff gets picked up by Reddit, but I just wanted to share a bit of my interview that didn't get picked up:

"The five of us are especially talented individuals, and we’ve been together for a very long time. We’ve also been through the fires of the World Championship, so I think we are the strongest we’ve ever been, and we are currently in a very competitive form. We also trust each other deeply -- that’s why we’re so strong."

Cool to think he believes they're at their strongest ever. If anyone happens to beat them (to win this entire MSI and not just a Bo1 here or there), it'll be even nuttier now. :)
