The 28-year-old spoke to HLTV after the match to discuss his early impressions of the team, their recent results, and being offered the opportunity to join the roster. I've adjusted my roles accordingly because they needed something different than the other guys.
"Hopefully we can win the next tournaments," he said.
"And it's going to start the day after tomorrow, so we don't have much time to practice and teams are going to be watching our demos and stuff, so it might be a little bit harder than this.
But I think we can manage." Congrats on the victory. Well, I was hoping to win, obviously, but realistically we didn't have that much practice. So it was just map after map; we were making mistakes, and we were just fixing them on the spot.
So you first lost to BIG, then you won over them. Did you fix some mistakes on the fly in this specific matchup? On Cache, there were a lot more mistakes, so we obviously tried to fix them.
But there was practically no time during the tournament; we had to prepare for other teams and stuff.
