"It was just the executing of protocols and ideas was not that sharp, because this can come with mindset, this can come with your confidence, right?
Because everything we have, it's there." Fresh from a top-eight finish in Bucharest, B1ad3 's talk with HLTV covered their tournament run in-depth and the reasons behind their early-season struggles and recent improvements. Let's talk through that series start to finish.
Cache obviously a very, very good map for you. Why do you think you were able to be so successful on Cache? We prepped it a lot, but we couldn't pick it because, for example, we didn't play it for a while.
If you're focused on the first two days on some other maps, you need to trust something that you basically sharpened somewhere else, because you already did it last day.
So yeah, we really just controlled the meta, studied the meta, analyzing, upgrading our knowledge on this map. We felt it was very good, so that's why we picked it.
And there was no doubts picking it into Vitality who are also quite good on Cache?
