iG are currently in the leading position in their "group of death" with a convincing 4-0 streak after defeating MUFC and LGD. It is also important to mention how easy both series went for the team. Their opponents didn't stand a chance in those 4 games!
In the interview Faith talks about the tournament, the reasons for his team's strength and his opinion about the other teams competing in the G-1 League.
G-1: Can you tell us why iG is currently so strong? Did The International 2 title help with the team’s chemistry? If you had lost to Na`vi during the grand finals, would the mentality and attitude now be different?
Faith: I think our team is very united and in good shape over-all. The TI2 title gives a lot of motivation, but there is also pressure. If we had lost, we still have to adjust ourselves and the team, because we believe that we are a team with strength.

G-1: Your team will soon participate in Dota tournaments including WCG and SMM, so you are still required to play both Dota and Dota 2. What is your view on future Chinese tournaments such as ACE and G League?
Faith: When there are Dota tournaments, we practice Dota; when there are Dota 2 tournaments, we practice Dota 2. But I think Dota 2 will eventually become the trend.
...
G-1: LGD.int just recently announced its roster. If iG were to form an international division, which foreign players would you recommend to your manager?
Faith: I haven’t thought about this, our team is responsible for playing Dota and win tournaments, the club will take care of everything else. However, I was impressed by Dendi during the trip to Seattle; he’s very lively and humorous.
