What people are saying
All lanes are important, but I think their top and jungle work well together, and if we prepare well, we can win.
Compared with nine years ago, I have more confidence in my play, and I have become better able to lead my teammates outside the game.
I think the meta is less about the jungler carrying and more about empowering the other lanes.
Rather than feeling nervous or pressured, I am excited and want the match to start soon.
