What do you make of the Ninjas form right now? I think we are showing really good resilience in all the tournaments that we play. I don't think we're playing perfect CS by any means.
But I mean, super happy with the team, how we are performing, and how mentally strong we've been this past, I don't know, month or two months.
We have won three tournaments now, starting in Belgrade and then going to Sjavda, and now we're winning this in Stockholm with a little detour in Thunderpick, where we got smacked by the top-five teams.
Super proud of everyone, of how strong they are mentally and what a fight they've been putting up every day, so yeah, super proud.
There was a decisive win on Mirage, lost overtime on Cache, and took a little more to close it out on Ancient. It's been one of your most picked maps since its edition came back to the map pool.
Was this an obvious choice for you, or was that something that you just felt clicked very well with the players?
