Q: What do you think of the performance of the new Odyssey model? Faker: The performance of Odyssey gaming screens is getting better and better. The new 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9’s large screen is eye-catching and impressive. When you look at it from a distance, you can’t feel its size. When you get closer, you realize that the screen is amazingly big. For those who like big screens, Odyssey Neo G9 is definitely the first choice. Oner: The Odyssey OLED G9 is so big that it is almost like a TV. It is different from ordinary traditional monitors and is very enjoyable when watching videos. Zeus: Every e-sports screen size is very large. The ultra-wide screen provides a wider map view and an extremely immersive gaming experience, which helps me implement more strategies when playing “League of Legends”. ▲ T1 team members Faker and Oner conduct game training on Odyssey Neo G9. ▲(From left) T1 team members Gumayusi and Keria experience the multi-view function on the 2023 Odyssey Ark. Q: As e-sports players, what is your primary consideration when choosing a monitor? Faker: Most players pay great attention to response time and update rate. I would choose a monitor with a fast response time to minimize image retention. Oner: The update rate is the most important to me, and I will definitely check if the monitor supports 240Hz update rate. Keria: I am using a monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, but a monitor with a refresh rate of 144Hz or above should be sufficient for most users. Gumayusi: Unlike some players, I am not very sensitive to monitor specifications, but since I am used to screens with high refresh rates, downgrading may limit my capabilities. I still want to focus on the game itself. Zeus: I agree with Oner, update rate is really important. I used to have a monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, but since I switched to a monitor with a higher refresh rate, I can’t go back. The gaming experience is much smoother. Jiang Yuncheng, the director of the 2021 Odyssey Neo G9 brand short film, returns to direct the 2023 Odyssey brand short film. ▲ Jiang Yuncheng has served as the director of Odyssey brand short films for many times. Q: What is the main goal of planning this Odyssey brand short film? Jiang Yuncheng: I focused on the ultra-large size of the screen, so I used the concept of large-scale medieval warfare to highlight the advantages of the Odyssey e-sports screen. Q: Can you share the highlights from the filming process? Kang Yoon Sung: One of the highlights is the unexpected plot twist. The story tells that the T1 team changed the entire battle, and then the story reversed. When the team members thought they had won, Faker expanded the screen angle to reveal more enemies surging in from both sides. This plot twist is sure to keep viewers riveted. ▲ Odyssey brand short film starring T1 team, the picture on the right is Faker. ▲ T1 team member Faker at the shooting site of the new Odyssey brand short film. ▲ T1 team members Zeus (left) and Oner (right) show off the choreography moves in the brand’s short film. ▲ Gumayusi (left) and Keria (right) participated in the Odyssey brand short film shooting. ▲ Members of the T1 team learned choreography during the filming process. Q: How does it feel to take a break from daily competition and training and devote yourself to shooting a brand short film? Oner, Zeus and Keria: The choreography combined with our signature moves was impressive. None of us can dance, so we were a little worried at first, but the choreographer’s detailed guidance helped us complete the shoot smoothly. Hopefully fans will enjoy these short films. Faker: This is a very fresh experience. Although I had experience filming TV shows in front of many cameras before, this was my first time dancing. I felt a little uncomfortable yet excited. ▲ 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 and T1 team members (from left: Keria, Gumayusi, Faker, Oner and Zeus). Q: In the process of experiencing the Odyssey e-sports screen, which one do you like best? Faker: The 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 is my first choice. Its fast response time and stylish metal back panel design are impressive. Zeus: I also chose the 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9. I like the charming rainbow light effect of Infinity Core Lighting, and the metal design adds a fashionable style to the gaming screen. Keria: The 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 attracts me the most. The white glossy back panel gives it a luxurious feel. Gumayusi: I have used Odyssey Ark in the lounge of T1 headquarters. I really like the multi-window function because I play many games at the same time. But I prefer big screens, so my first choice is the 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9. Oner: It’s honestly hard to choose. The newly launched Odyssey models are all great. Each one features a large screen and wide viewing angle. I like them all.
