ZETA DIVISION・Laz「LCQではベストな形を見つけられた」―VALORANT Champions 2023への意気込みを語る。FNATIC・Boasterも記者会見に乱入

――On social media, we saw the phrase "This is ZETA!" being used. How do you want to impress the world with your team?

Laz: It's great to have a lot of support on social media and hear people say "This is ZETA!" As an ideal, we hope to have people remember us as a strong ZETA team after playing well and advancing in matches.

――Three members of the same group (Laz, Derke, whzy) are gathered at the same press conference. What do you think the competition within the group will be like?

Laz: I think all of us are very strong teams. FNATIC is a two-time champion, and NRG has always been a strong team with many good players. Bilibili Gaming is also a team that we often practice against, and they have incredibly strong players. We are looking forward to all the matches, but our focus is on giving our all in each battle rather than worrying about the opponents.

――Your first opponent is FNATIC, how do you feel about facing the two-time champions? Also, Boaster mentioned at the Masters Tokyo stage that he wants to compete against more Japanese teams in the future.

Laz：我非常高兴能在这个舞台上与世界冠军对战，我很期待。能够在这么早的阶段实现与Boaster所说的日本队的对决，我感到非常高兴，希望能有更多来自日本的队伍能在世界上战斗。

――Laz选手通常在国际比赛中说“一战一战地战斗到底”，这个立场现在还是不变吗？此外，现在的Laz和团队的状态如何？

Laz：是的，我的立场没有改变。团队的状态也很好，我们期待比赛。

――从LCQ到旅行，时间很短，练习等方面如何？

Laz：旅行很辛苦，也会有时差问题。 自从LCQ结束后，由于能够成为练习对手的团队变少了，我觉得训练的质量有所下降。但是，我们只能尽力去做。

――能给日本的粉丝们留言吗？

Laz：非常感谢大家的支持。我很高兴能够站在国际比赛的舞台上。我会努力的！

此外，在另一个录制中，FNATIC的Boaster选手也意外地出现在新闻发布会上（作为新闻媒体的一员）。我也将向他提问两位选手的问题。

Boaster：我有一个问题问Derke。与本次Champions赛中的其他队伍的IGL相比，你认为Boaster作为IGL的表现会如何？ 特别是与FNS相比，怎么样呢？

Derke：我认为与FNS相比，这场比赛真的会很激烈，而且我们之前已经击败过他们一次，所以我很想看看Boaster能展现出怎样的表现。我相信这将是一场精彩的比赛。

Boaster：接下来是对ZmjjKK的问题。我看过在BiliBili上上传的“歌ってみた”视频。如果我去中国的话，你会和我一起合唱吗？

ZmjjKK：我相信我们一定能在中国见面，如果你来了的话，我们一定有机会一起唱歌！

Boaster选手在媒体席上悄悄坐着，突然开始提问。他作为一名表演者的一面似乎在比赛前就已经存在。
