Here at the Mid-Season Invitational, some of the best pro players from around the world have convened to take on one another for regional pride. Ahead of the big matches tomorrow, we sat down to do a special version of Ask the Pros. This time around, Lolesports started off asking the pros from Beşiktaş e-Sports Club a question, then the pros took it away to ask questions of the other competitors at the event. Here's how it all went down.
Lolesports: Who are you most looking forward to playing against at MSI and why?
Isak "Energy" Pettersen Fjell: Obviously I want to play against Faker because he's the best mid in the world. Everyone says he's great [in] lane and pressures you for every [minion kill], so I want to see if he really does.
Kemal "Dumbledoge" Gökseloğlu: I think it's Lustboy. He has really great lane control and I'm looking forward to playing against him. [When I play against him] I will focus on the laning phase because I think that's the thing that matters early game, so I will just watch him closely.
Energy: I want to ask Santorin from TSM, how does it feel to be the most handsome Dane on TSM? [laughs]
Dumbledoge: I think I would ask Lustboy, what is his favorite thing in America?
Jang-sik "Lustboy" Ham: My favorite thing in NA is knowing good people here. I like the culture also!
Lucas "Santorin" Larsen: I need some time to think. And why didn't I get the question Lustboy did?! I don't know what to say. I'm not really flattered. I think it's more, personality wise, [Beşiktaş] have a different point of view. No one thinks the same thing. [laughs]
Lustboy: I would ask SKT's Faker if he plans on being in a relationship during his career?
Santorin: I would ask Fnatic's Febiven how he thinks he's going to match up against Faker and Bjergsen?
Sanghyuk "Faker" Lee: While I'm a professional player, I do not plan to get a girlfriend. I don't want to be distracted from my practice, because I need to practice.
Fabian "Febiven" Diepstraten: I've been playing scrims already against SKT and they've gone pretty well, so I'm actually really confident. But it's just scrims, so I cannot really tell how well I will play on the stage.
I don't know about Bjergsen, but I think I can compete against him, because I've been watching the NA LCS and I feel like he's playing against worse people. He's playing really well, but I think I can play well against him.
Faker: I would ask Westdoor from ahq, between the Taiwanese and Korean server, which does he believe is stronger and has better players?
Febiven: I would ask Pawn from EDG if he watches EU LCS and if he knows me?
Shu-Wei "Westdoor" Liu: Faker chose me? I'm so surprised! The strengths of the Korean server is much better than the Taiwanese server. The reason why is because Korea's playstyle is very aggressive, allowing them to use much more pressure than those playing on the Taiwanese server.
I would ask Pawn why he used to play Nidalee so much, but stopped after Worlds?
Won-seok "Pawn" Heo: To Febiven, actually, I just watch LCK. I can't work and watch another league. I also don't know when the other leagues start. [laughs]
To Westdoor's question, Nidalee is just not good. My favorite mid laner to play right now is Fizz.
And there you have it! Tune in to Lolesports tomorrow to catch all of these pros and their teams in action at the Mid-Season Invitational.
