Carrying the hopes and dreams of Europe, the
CTBC Flying Oyster secured
another victory in the First Stand 2025 group stage, finishing with a 3-1 record, having only lost to Hanwha Life Esports. In a press conference, jungler Yu "
JunJia" Chun-Chia and support Ling "
Kaiwing" Kai Wing spoke to the press about their victory, their growing fanbase, and the rise of the APAC region.
JunJia, how do you and Tsai "HongQ" Ming-hong work together to build mid-jungle synergy? What has he improved on the most?
Yu "JunJia" Chun-Chia: "
HongQ is really talented, especially in laning. If I tell him anything about our synergy, he understands it really fast. That’s why we cooperate so easily.
European fans became the biggest CFO supporters overnight. Since you're likely to face KC again in a best-of-five, do you have a message for the organization and its fans after helping them qualify?
JunJia: We met KC players in the hotel, and they cheered for us before the match. I hope we’ll have an exciting match tomorrow.
Kaiwing, how does it feel to be at the forefront of the new APAC region after playing so long in the LMS, PCS, and LCP?
Ling "Kaiwing" Kai Wing: We just beat the LPL, but we still have to prove ourselves against the LCK and Hanwha Life Esports. Once we do that, we’ll have truly proven ourselves.
At the beginning of the tournament, many underestimated APAC and CFO. Do you think, given the results, the perception has changed?
Kaiwing: The answer is obvious, and everyone can see it. There's no need to say anything more.
Many French fans have changed their profile pictures to CFO’s logo to show their support. What do you have to say to these new fans?
Kaiwing: If we meet KC in the next round, we will still send you back home."
