"After we qualified for the Major, some emotions inside me were too bad, and I didn't control myself in that [1win Private Club] final," dastan told HLTV. I think, because I worked with young players, nota, BELCHONOKK, AW, something inside me changed after that.
"Now, after Belgrade, we had a deep talk and I understand that I need to change my approach, because I have FL1T, HObbit, and Jame.
There are already three experienced players, and I can share my responsibility with them a bit." Listen to the interview here . Congratulations, a tough win in the end over G2. Just talk me through that match a bit and how it went down.
I'm happy because nowadays every team plays well. I worked on myself not to show a bad mood, and after the first map, I controlled myself and started to speak in a different way.
I know sometimes it's hard, and I hope this way of working will continue and help my team perform better.
But of course, fixing mistakes and winning is the most important, and if you lose more, it will be a bad atmosphere, and it might be different.

The headline skips this: ""After we qualified for the Major, some emotions inside me were too bad, and I didn't control myself in that [1win Private Club] final," dastan told HLTV. I think, because I wor…" That is the reading I would argue. The rest of the card does not cancel it.
