Harun "Revyls" Yavuz, Head coach of Meet Your Makers, has told us about LoL Battle Arena participants and named most favored teams.

What can you say about teams at LoL Battle Arena?

Having the possibility to qualify for LoL Battle Arena was really important for our player, and not just to show that Turkey is not an underdeveloped region where the players are not able to win against StarLadder or EUCS Teams. We knew Gamers2 and mousesports from Europe and most of our players are playing daily on the EUW Server with them. More difficult were the top Russian teams like Hard Random. They won at Starladder finals and are going to the IWC Tournament, so we respect them, but we had no fear playing against them.

Who are the strongest opponents and first contenders to win this tournament and why?

In my opinion it will be a clash between Europe, Turkey and CIS with Gamers2 and mousesports from Europe, Hard Random from CIS and MYM from Turkey. These will be the teams which will reach the playoffs if nothing crazy happens.

What are the differences in play style between three regions: Europe, CIS and Turkey?

Between EUW and our play style there is no big difference. Our Players are playing since the beginning of on the EUW Server. We played against Hard Random in scrims before the tournament and they played a really aggressive game where we had no chance to adapt. But with enough research and coaching we got our players ready to beat them with their own weapons.

How can you describe your own play style?

Our play style is different from other teams which follow the meta. We rarely play tank top lane because our top laner Silphi loves to Play Champions like Rengar and Gangplank, which really fit our style. Our bot lane is really roam heavy which gives us an advantage in early/midgame to get some kills or objectives.

In your opinion, which champions are the best for all five positions and why?

The perfect team for us would be everything where Rengar isn’t banned.

What advice can you give to the teams which are only in the beginning of their way?

We started from the bottom with believing in the abilities of these players. We gave them the right infrastructure and supported them where we could. For a Challenger Series team in Turkey we invested in a gaming house way before the playoffs or the LBA Tournament start. It’s important that the players like each other and have a good time.
