After a somewhat frustrating debut, Gwang-jin "Piglet" Chae seemed in fighting form in Team Liquid's Week 4 victory over Team 8 this weekend at the NA LCS. We caught up with the Korean AD carry after the match to find out how the former World Champion is getting back to his old self.
More than anything, Piglet stressed his rigorous training schedule, as he seems nervous about disappointing his new NA fans. "This week while we were preparing, I practiced really, really hard," he told Lolesports. "There were times I was sleeping only two hours, but mostly around three to four hours, because I was practicing."
It seems to have worked, as his kill-happy 6/1/7 performance on Graves had a massive impact on the match. On top of it being good with Liquid's AOE oriented team composition, Piglet explains that when he was in Korea, he played a ton of Graves. And perhaps more importantly, he's been practicing plenty with The Outlaw recently.
And while Liquid may have appeared a bit shaky in the past, every week they're looking more and more confident on the NA LCS stage. "I haven’t adapted yet, so that’s difficult," Piglet says. But due to his fans, he seems to sincerely enjoy playing in America. "In Korea the fans are blocked off from us with the booths. But in America we can hear all the fans and I like that," he said, quickly adding in a, "Thank you very much!"
In order to not let down his fans, Piglet's set reasonable goals for himself. "For me, the first challenge in America is the LCS Championships." With a slightly less ambitious goal than Worlds to shoot for, all he hopes is to have his fans on his side.
"Thank you for supporting me and please keep supporting me," he says with a smile. "Love you all!"
