Independent: "In one year, I definitely see us competing consistently at tier-one events"

Not necessarily that I came to the event with any expectation, but now that I see the outcome, I probably wanted more. And when it comes down to all those percentages you just mentioned, I'm not going to lie, I have never followed them.

I encourage my teammates to never follow them because we've seen Major after Major after Major that everything comes down to the last second. Inner Circle can win against Vitality, for example, or BetBoom beat Falcons in Malta.

For me, only things we can control matter, and that's only the next game. When it comes down to this event, we just slipped heavily. We lost the rounds we shouldn't lose, we lost the games we shouldn't lose, and that's something to look into.

What was your strategy behind your attendance, because it matters a lot, right? Because, of course, during some rewatches or after meetings, we are trying to evaluate that. But there's only so much you can change in two days, right?

We now have one practice day, then we travel back home, maybe have one day off, and then we are heading towards Spain.

And I think this moment is important not only for us, but for any other team, and there are maybe like 10, 15 teams under pressure to perform, where every round matters, every game matters.
