Q: Doran – You’ve just earned your first world championship title. How do you feel about this victory?
Doran: From the moment I joined T1, I was confident in myself and believed I could achieve good results. Now that I’m able to win the world title together with everyone, I feel absolutely thrilled. I’m immensely thankful to my teammates and coaching staff.

Q: Doran – The fans are extremely excited for your first title. Anything you’d like to say to them?
Doran: I hope to pass on positive energy to the fans. We were able to win because they backed us throughout the match. I want to say thank you.

Q: Doran – You were long an opponent of T1 in the LCK for many years, but this year you joined T1 and won the world title. What do you think is the driving force behind T1’s success?
Doran: When I competed against them, I thought each of their players was excellent. After joining the team, I realised that beyond their skill, their mindset and way of thinking were equally admirable. Able to focus on the match itself fully. I no longer feel the pain of that loss. That experience helped me grow.

Q: Have there been any particularly thrilling or dangerous moments in the World’s schedule?
Doran: During the Swiss Stage, we were ranked 1‑2, so it was a bit nerve‑wracking. Fortunately, everything worked in our favour, which helped us reach the quarterfinals. From that moment on, we had full confidence we could perform at our best.

Q: Doran & Gumayusi – Your contracts are about to expire. What are your thoughts? Doran – I heard your contract includes a “1 + 1” renewal option — is that correct?
Doran: Nothing’s decided yet. I intend to talk once I’m back in Korea. The 1 + 1 clause doesn’t mean much — as far as I know, either side can opt to terminate if they don’t want to continue.
