During Rift Rivals between North American and Europe, even Phoenix1’s players couldn’t quite account for the effectiveness of their quick and dirty invades and punishing dives.
Ryu: “When I was in Europe last year, I felt their macro was (better). But it’s worse now.”
Phoenix1 narrowly failed to qualify for the Rift Rivals final. At the close of group stage, mid laner Yoo “Ryu” Sang-wook talked to Slingshot’s Kelsey Moser (through an interpreter) about Phoenix1 finding a groove and a few differences between his time on H2K and his new NA team.
