Ask the Pros: Immortals' Reignover

Ask The Pro is an ongoing series on lolesports.com, where we ask a pro player questions from the community. The player then picks the next pro the community will get to ask questions. Be sure to follow us on Twitter to submit your questions for the next Q&A!

In our last Ask The Pro interview, we talked with Fnatic's mid laner Febiven about his need to win and 1v1ing Faker. 

He also had a question for his former teammate and current IMT jungler, Reignover.

Febiven: How is living in America compared to Europe and Korea? What are the fans (and fangirls) like? And how much do you miss me?

Reignover: Wherever I play, my schedule is basically just League, eat, sleep. But I like America about the "eat" part. I'm enjoying American food so I'm gaining lots of weight. Fans are super nice so far, and I'm looking forward to experience big stage with lots of crowd though. Of course I miss you a lot, my boy! Let's work hard to meet at MSI, if possible.

Winning with Friends

Chris: What mouse and keyboard do you use? I hear you play LoL at a very low resolution. If that's true, why?

R: I use the CM Storm gaming keyboard and Steelseries Sensei mouse. I play League at 1278x768 resolution in borderless window mode. By making your screen smaller, you can see faster then full screen. But it might affect you focusing on game.

Stinson: How does it feel to win so many games in a row after changing teams and regions?

R: As a player, having a huge win streak affects my mindset to be always positive and it prevents me from tilting. Also, it makes it easier for me to make right decisions during the games.

Huber: How important was it to you to stay with Huni this Split? Why do you two work so well together?

R: Staying with Huni was a huge part of how we were able to keep up the win streak. It was easy for both of us to adapt to the new environment. I think it's because we are both aggressive players who don't hesitate. And by playing this way, we improved faster than others.

Nitro: Which team environment do you like more: IMT now or FNC last year?

R: I like the IMT environment more so far. American food fits me better, and our management takes care of me better too.

Juan: What do you think about when you walk out onto the LCS stage? How do you stay focused?

R: I constantly pray and I get huge confidence from it. I also lose pressure about the matches by it.

Being Immortal

Leo: What is it that puts IMT above the rest of NA teams? Can you continue this dominance in Playoffs?

R: I think it's because our team has very experienced players, so we make less mistakes then others. Yes, I think we can continue to be strong at Playoffs. Our experience is more important in Best of 3s and Best of 5s.

Pandor: Do you think IMT has a good chance at Worlds this year?

R: Worlds is too far for now. I think we can show up strong at MSI if we can go.

JR: Is it difficult to think/talk/translate in different languages during high-tension moments in game?

R: At first when I joined Fnatic, it was difficult. But now I have no problem. It would be weird for me to play speaking Korean right now.

Coach Reignover

Prince: I play in low Elo (Silver Ranked). What's the best jungle champion pick for that level?

R: I recommend that you to play Reksai (Warrior), Graves (Warrior), and Udyr (Runic Echoes).

Atilla: How good is jungle Shen in patch 6.4?

R: I don't think the taunt onto monsters will affect a lot. It will be pretty hard to see him in jungle.

YT: Which champion is better: Rengar or Kha'Zix? Why?

R: I would say Rengar, because you apply way more pressure on the map just by holding your ultimate. And it's an overall safer pick than Kha'Zix.

Pog: Is it better to take Flash or Ghost on jungle Olaf? Does it depend on the matchup?

R: I always take Ghost, even if they have champions like Jarvan IV or Anivia [who can create impassable terrain]. I think movement speed is just too important on Olaf.

Isaac: Who's your least favorite champion to play and why?

R: I don't like playing any champion without a dash. It feels like you have more limits on plays.

I want to be in America!

Tristam: Which region will you and Huni conquer after NA?

R: Lots of love on NA so far. No other plan than winning LCS right now.

Justin: Do you often get recognized when you're just walking around LA?

R: Not often, but sometimes! Especially when we move as a group!

Jesh: How do you like American food? Is it better than in EU?

R: Yes, I like American food. I normally prefer food with lots of taste and here it has it. Also, I love rice and the texture here is similar to Korea.

Krel: How is your skin so perfect?!

R: My skin is not perfect. My skin is very sensitive, so I try to keep my pillow clean, and I try to drink lots of water.

Christina: Do you like to go shopping with Adrian? If so, where?

R: Last time I actually did shopping was to buy gym clothes. I prefer buying clothes in Korea.

LoLesports: What pro player do you want to answer questions next?

R: TSM's Bjergsen: I heard that you have a wrist problem. There are a lot of pro gamers (including me) having wrist issues. How are you taking care of it? Any tips? How are you balancing practice and breaks for it? I also heard that you are a really try-hard, motivated player. How are you keeping up the motivation and mindset to improve as a player?

We want to thank Reignover again for answering questions from all of us! To find out more about him, you can follow him on Twitter and watch his livestream.
