Their star bot-laner, Doggo, shared his thoughts with us after the match, giving insight into the team's journey, challenges, and hopes for the future. Let's dive in!

CFO Crushes KC in Their First International Match

The League of Legends 2025 international tournament is currently happening in Seoul, South Korea, and CFO is already making waves. On March 11, they faced off against KC from the LEC region and delivered a stunning 2-0 sweep. Despite being a relatively new team, CFO played with confidence and precision, proving they belong on the global stage.

One of the highlights was the performance of mid-lane rookie HongQ, who showed no signs of nerves and played like a seasoned pro. His dominance in the mid-lane was crucial to CFO's victory. After the match, Doggo, CFO's bot-laner, sat down with us to talk about their journey and what's next for the team.

Returning to the International Stage

It's been a while since Doggo played on the global stage—the last time was back in 2022 at the Hangzhou Asian Games. When asked if he missed the international competition, his response was simple: “Every single moment.” He's been eager to prove himself and show the world what he and his team can do.

Rating His Own Performance

Doggo had a solid showing in today's match, but he's his own biggest critic. When asked to rate his performance, he gave himself a 7.5 out of 10. “There were a few moments in the first game where my execution wasn't perfect,” he admitted. Even with a dominant victory, he still sees room for improvement.

Facing Off Against a Rookie Opponent

One of the key matchups of the day was between Doggo and KC's bot-laner, Cailste, who is new to the international scene. As an experienced player, Doggo was asked if he had any advice for his opponent. His response? “He doesn't need any—he's already Europe's best.” That's high praise coming from a veteran player!

Praising HongQ's Breakout Performance

Speaking of rookies, CFO's mid-laner, HongQ, made his international debut today—and it couldn't have gone better. Doggo gave him a perfect 10/10 rating, saying that while HongQ was nervous during his first LCP match, today he played with complete confidence. It's clear that CFO's young talent is stepping up when it matters most.

Building Team Chemistry with New Players

One of the biggest challenges for CFO this season has been integrating new players. How did they make it work? According to Doggo, the key was open communication. “Everyone is willing to speak their mind, and our coach, who was a former mid-laner, knows exactly how to guide HongQ.” It's this team-first mindset that helped them find success.

Confidence Moving Forward

CFO entered this tournament as underdogs, with many people doubting their potential. But after today's dominant win, has their mindset changed? Not at all. “We always have confidence,” Doggo said. “People might see us as a weaker team, but we know our own strength.”

The Impact of Coach Chawy

One major change for CFO this season is the addition of Coach Chawy, known for his strategic flexibility. Many believe his influence has given CFO an advantage when it comes to drafting. When asked whether he prefers the current draft system or the previous one, Doggo was clear: “I like this one more. It lets us pick different champions each game and surprise stronger teams with unexpected strategies.”

Adjusting to the Meta

With the meta shifting back to a more traditional laning phase, CFO's bot-lane duo of Doggo and Kaiwing used their experience to dominate today. But does Doggo think this gives them an advantage? “Not necessarily. We just focus on understanding the game better and adapting to each patch.”

Personal Preferences in Game Styles

Does Doggo prefer the previous meta with lane swaps or the current one with standard laning? He doesn't have a strong preference. “I just focus on playing the best I can, no matter the situation.” His adaptability is one of the reasons he's remained a top player for so long.

What's Next for CFO?

With their first victory secured, CFO is setting their sights on the rest of the tournament. When asked about his personal goals, Doggo kept it simple: “I want the world to see what this young CFO team can do.” They've already made a strong first impression—now it's time to see how far they can go.

A Message to the Fans

Before wrapping up the interview, Doggo had a message for fans back home. “Don't worry about us—we're doing great in Korea, and we'll keep working hard. Thanks for your support!”

So, Lykkers, what do you think? Can CFO keep up this momentum and go even further in the tournament? Let's cheer them on together!
