The former player of oceloteWorld, who played the Global Challenge São Paulo in Brazil, Zyzz (Haydal) talks about his impressions of Keyd Stars, the Brazilian/Korean squad.
Yesterday, the seventh edition of the SoloMid Invitational Europe began. Besides the participation of some best amateur teams, the tournament was also attended by Keyd Stars, the current champion of the Brazilian League - Champions Series.
This is the first appearance of kStars at international tournament outside of Brazil. In their debut, kStars started off well and managed to win the first game against SK Prime thanks to the impressive performance of Winged, the korean Jungler. But it was too little to stop the team that took third at DreamHack Summer. With a spetacular comeback, SK Prime won 2:1.
After the matches we spoke with Haïdar "Zyzz" Mezidi. The French player knows the Brazilian teams well. In February, with his former team oceloteWorld, he played in the Global Challenge - São Paulo, where they finished 3rd/4th with SevenWars. The AD Carry of SK Prime stated: "SuNo (Mid), Winged (Jungler) and Loop (Supp) played really good the early game but kStars presents weakness in their laneswapping and teamfighting, besides which the Brazilian/Korean team don't really force too many objectives even when they are ahead."
When asked about the possibility of Keyd playing the LCS Europe if the Brazilian/Korean squad choose to stay in Portugual, Zyzz said that kStars played better against NiP than SK and that they could potentially play in EU LCS if they work on their weaknesses. Besides that, the AD Carry said also that Keyd have the ability to beat Ninja in Pyjamas and n!faculty in the SoloMid Invitational.
Today at 16:00 CEST, Keyd Stars will battle against Ninja in Pyjamas in the final of Lower Bracket. If the Brazilian/Korean squad beats Alex Ich & co. they will play against the loser of n!faculty and SK Prime.
