How are you feeling coming out of that dominating series? Thank god we closed Dust2 because it would have been harder on Nuke. On Mirage, I had a really good map so I'm feeling really happy that I got to show off my potential.

I think you ended with something like upper 20s or even 30 kills in regulation after missing Logitech G Play Connect. Was it hard for you to sit on the sidelines and see your team miss the playoffs and struggle without you?

I know if I went, we would have made it to playoffs. I hope we make things better for the next tournaments. Overall, It's been a good period for Liquid in this new era with JT as the IGL and Jorko.

How have things changed in the team since making those roster changes?
