Maka: "We had like 1% hope, and I truly believed"
Still, Maka is thankful to Envy for giving them the chance to don a jersey bearing a lot of history for French CS, and hopes the team can turn it around.

"I'm very happy because a lot of CS French legends played under Envy," he says.
"We don't show that it's like we can be a good team and respect the Envy tag, and I truly believe that it means a lot to everybody in the team, and we really play for the jersey." Commiserations on the loss.
We clearly lacked something on our T side lately. We've been able to solve it through the playbook and by adding strategies and tactics. Coming into this event, did you still have the Major hope in you or did you try to let it go?
It's not something we discussed after the DraculaN. Clearly knew that we missed the opportunity on the last three events. We had like 1% hope, and I truly believed it, to be honest, as an individual, but it was something very hard to reach.
So just trying to keep gaining confidence through the games and having this mindset to beat anyone on any map to just gain confidence was the key for me.
So this campaign of the tier-two LANs was not successful for your team, with a loss here to a weakened opponent, as well.
