SEN HamBak: "My teammates give me a lot [of confidence], but I have confidence in myself too"

The team that benefited most during the lower-half Superweek in Week 5 of the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) is the late-blooming . The stakes couldn’t be higher for the Society, the team that broke the back-to- back champions’ undefeated streak. With the possibility to secure a playoff spot, Sentinels faced both

FlyQuest

and

Disguised

.

The Society had a perfect weekend by quickly dispatching both teams with convincing 2-0 victories. Following his successful Week 5 performance, Sheep Esports chatted with Ham “

HamBak

” Yoo-jin. The MVP of Week 5 spoke about his growing confidence, the work Head Coach "Greyson “Goldenglue" Gilmer is doing to increase the chances of a deep playoff run, and how Choi “

Huhi

” Jae-hyun helped the jungler develop his synergy with his mid laner.

Ham “HamBak” Yoo-jin: “I don’t know why we’re playing better this week, but we’ve just focused not on winning or losing, but just improving in scrims. That was a point in this series.

HamBak: Maybe we just played better, yeah.

HamBak: Yeah, I think so. We’re a similar team, kinda, so we can do that too.

HamBak: Goldenglue is good at the friendship outside of the game, too. He can make one team, and then he likes putting us together and doing things together. We can create good teamwork on this team. That’s Goldenglue’s advantage.

HamBak: I don’t know why it’s so important, but things out-of-game are so important too. When we review our scrims, we can start fighting. We can be talking, but it’s similar to talking and fighting in review. We also think together out of the game. We’re allowed to focus. I think it’s just simple: if out-of-game is good, then in-game is good.

HamBak: We have good confidence now, because of our two wins in this clean game and in the last two series. We can be in the top three in the LCS, but C9 is similar to us. I think is the best, then second, then , then us, and finally FlyQuest maybe in the middle. We have to beat C9 and the middle teams.

HamBak: Maybe Huhi (Choi Jae-Hyun)?

HamBak: We talked about how I can get jungle advantage with (Isaac Chou). So we focused on that in-game. He explained how to play the game’s mid-to-late game phase better. I learned it, and it’s a good synergy with him.

HamBak: My teammates give me a lot, but I have confidence in myself, too. So I have confidence in myself.

HamBak: Not always, but if I have an advantage in the early game, then I can beat everyone.

HamBak: Out of the game, I'm just thinking about... what’s not an advantage. About the opposite of an advantage? I’m thinking about any disadvantage.

HamBak: Third? Third! Or second? Maybe third. I hope second, but it's hard.”
