First large LAN, first large enviornment playoffs you will have certified for. How are you feeling?
I’m feeling very pleased. I believe we deserve this LAN enviornment. These days, we have now been working arduous so much, so I believe we deserve it.
Inform me somewhat bit about that FaZe recreation. As a result of it appeared such as you had Mirage below management, however then broky obtained that 1v4 and the map slipped away. How do you even start to get well on Dust2?
On Mirage, we threw that 1v4, sure, however I believe that was not the issue as a result of we gained the following spherical on a half purchase. However I believe we have been a bit scared, a bit harassed, additionally. We gave them a lot house in each space, I believe. And so they took each house. We had no information and we have been simply sort of ready for them to kill us.
Proper earlier than this, you had Birch Cup, the place you didn’t look almost this good. What’s the large distinction between your performances there and right here? What modified?
Clearly, the setting right here is healthier. After we performed at Birch Cup, with all due respect, we had lots of points. Everybody needed to change PCs. We had low FPS, different guys on my group had unhealthy screens. We didn’t really feel snug. I believe that’s why there’s a giant distinction.
Do you are feeling like you’re going to have the ability to stick with it on the large stage in entrance of the group?
I believe so. I don’t assume anybody on my group is frightened of the group or something. This occasion has given us lots of confidence for the following one as a result of it’s our first large occasion with good groups and it’s our first time going through top-15 groups. In fact, we’re gaining confidence, and I believe will probably be simpler for us to play the following occasion we go to.
You’re going to face Legacy within the quarter-finals. What are your ideas on that matchup?
I used to be pondering earlier than the FaZe recreation that I knew we have been going to face Legacy. I believe for me, as an IGL, and for the group, it’s a bit arduous, as a European group to face a group from one other area. I believe they’re an excellent group. I like this group. I used to be watching them so much. Let’s see. It’s going to be a enjoyable recreation, I believe.
