Malr1ne on the victory over Virtus.pro at DreamLeague Season 29: “That match was the start of a snowball effect.”

No, it wasn’t intentional. We had a plan, we stuck to it, but we tried to pull it off one more time, and it didn’t seem to work. So we just decided: “Alright, let’s not break our winning streak; we want to keep it going.”

To be honest, I’m in shock myself. So I can’t answer that question, because even though I’d been training up to that point... Well, I won’t say anything bad, but I’ll put it this way: it didn’t look like we’d go 7-0 in the group. We still had some work to do; we needed to keep moving forward and grow as a team and individually. But I didn’t expect us to get through so easily.

The first day was probably the worst because that was the toughest series of all—against Virtus.pro. I think the thing is, Virtus.pro really tried hard to beat us, and at the same time, we were, as usual, a little “drunk,” so to speak. We just needed time to get into shape, and we were able to beat them. That match served as the start of a snowball effect.

We don’t have any expectations. As I already said and as you mentioned, we haven’t had the best results in recent months—you could say for the past six months. Right now, we’re just enjoying the time we’re spending together and the fact that we’re winning. And we just want to keep this going. But at the same time, we have no expectations: we know we can easily lose, and that would mean there’s a real problem that we’ll try to solve.
