In the past, we've taken to Twitter for questions for Ask the Pros. But, with the North American regional tournament happening over the weekend at PAX, we decided to take fans directly to the pros!
In between the action, we ran out into the crowd, grabbing fans to take backstage and ask ZionSpartan, Bjergsen, Krepo, Dyrus, and LemonNation one question each. Here's what we got!
ZionSpartan: In life in general, there's always a chance to look back. There's always a chance to be regretful, to have remorse, wonder, "Could I have done this differently? Should I have done something differently?" But honestly, this is an experience I'll never have again... I might not get that college experience - I'm planning on going later - but I'm just not sure that's going to happen, because I'm still in esports. I'm still making this choice that I made years ago. I really don't have any regrets. I'm glad I was able to make this choice, and I'm going to make the most out of my life no matter what I'm doing.
William: How do your mechanics get to be so godly?
Bjergsen: You just need to keep playing. Mechanics are something that just come from playing. If there's a specific spell that you're missing or a place where you're always mispositioning and getting hit, just think about it. Keep working at it. It's just work, work, work. It takes a lot of time.
Hayden: With EG going 4-0 in [the final] Superweek, do you think EG will go to worlds next season?
Krepo: If the roster stays the same and we have more time, we will place better. Worlds? Maybe. But playoffs for sure. We were only one game off of playoffs. So, any match that we threw at the end could have put us in a tiebreaker. And we would have won a tiebreaker. [laughs] The goal is Worlds, and anything less is a disappointment.
lSummonExodia: How do you effectively use Teleport?
Dyrus: It depends on all the pressure on the map. Let's say your jungler ganks top a lot, and you kill him. If they TP back top, you suddenly have TP advantage. From there, you buy and come back with your extra items and stuff, push them in. You can walk down [to other lanes] or tell your team you have TP pressure. You go HAM, go for Dragon, tell them to place deep wards and TP behind [the opponents]. This is hard to coordinate in solo queue. [laughs]
Kiara: How are you so brilliant?
Lemon: Oh, stop it!
ZionSpartan vs. Demetrius
Demetrius: Despite all your esports success, do you ever wonder what you'd be doing [if you hadn't decided to go pro]?
ZionSpartan: In life in general, there's always a chance to look back. There's always a chance to be regretful, to have remorse, wonder, "Could I have done this differently? Should I have done something differently?" But honestly, this is an experience I'll never have again...
