Hunters Luke on Role Star picks:

"I looked at the voting results, and I think people's thought processes were just different. I did not consider how well the players' team did, and simply gave my votes to players who persevered when their team went through hardships this season.

RUI speaks out on Weibo about he did not play Yveltal in the Hunters vs. Shock match. Summary below:

1. Yveltal had attitude problems during play-offs preparation. He did not play well in scrims, and was caught multiple times reading manga/watching livestream during scrims.

[OW Beacon @OWBeacon]

Yveltal replied to this post:
"First I would like to apologize to Coach RUI, I should not have violated the org's rules. Then I would like to apologize to my teammates and fans, I've been a bit complacent, was not in good form and it affected the team.

[OW Beacon @OWBeacon]

4. RUI wants to say that joining a team is the same as going to work, and it's your responsibility to play your game. With OW2 coming and new talent joining the pool, players should stop behaving unprofessionally.

[OW Beacon @OWBeacon]

2. RUI had 1 on 1 talks with Yveltal many times, and every time Yveltal promised he would change his behavior. But he kept repeating this behavior.

3. Despite all this, RUI still gave him a chance to play in the Hunters vs. Fuel match but his performance was not satisfactory.

Lige on Weibo: I haven't been playing well recently, so I applied for this transfer and received lots of support from the org. I will apply to go back as soon I return to good form. Hope everyone can support this decision.

Diya talks about Valiant on stream:

1. Valiant did ask him to join. He gave it some thought and decided not to go.
