From an interview with Lazavik when asked about how he felt after defeating Hikaru at EWC.
I knew I would beat Hikaru. He doesn’t know how to play at all! No jokes. His style has so many weaknesses that are clear... His opening often limps, his positional play too. I already beat him in London. So, I was simply sure that I dominate on all fronts. There was not a single match where I was so sure.
