Kursy: “I failed at GamerLegion, and I don’t want to fail again.”

I didn’t play very well yesterday. I think I wasn’t fully engaged in the game. I only played well on Cache, but on the other map I didn’t look my best—I wasn’t playing the way I wanted to at all. We put in a lot of work leading up to that match. Yesterday we put in a lot of work to fix our mistakes, and it really paid off. We tried to fix everything we could. It was also a matter of mindset—this time, our mindset was different. I think everyone enjoyed playing, had fun with the process, and shared those emotions with each other. I think that’s the most important thing.

I know Maka. He’s an excellent sniper, and I have a lot of respect for him as an AWP player. He’s really very good. As for me, I feel very comfortable in the role of a rifleman. They asked me to join the team, and I thought: “Basically, I can play as a rifleman, too.” So I just joined them and was confident that everything would work out. 

It was tough for me at GamerLegion. Honestly, I don’t even know exactly what happened. I think the pressure got to me. Everything was new. Before that, I’d only played in online tournaments, and then I found myself in major competitions—on a whole different level. Not exactly on the big stage, but you know what I mean. The difference was huge—just enormous. On top of that, I didn’t have much time. I think I just needed more time to figure out how it all worked for me specifically. After that, I started thinking only about what I could do better. I always try to think that way—constantly looking for ways to get stronger. I failed at GamerLegion, and I don’t want to fail again. That’s why I’m putting even more effort into this game now and trying to constantly improve myself.
