Miposhka on Team Spirit: “There’s work to be done, but there’s potential.”

Overall, it’s interesting. I like that I can now look at the entire gameplay process from a slightly different angle, so to speak. Now no one can argue back because we’re no longer on equal footing, so the guys listen to me and respect me. I analyze replays and try to coach my guys on support roles. There’s room for improvement, and there’s potential. The guys are really easygoing; it’s a pleasure to work with them. I’m preparing for drafts—that is, analyzing, once again, what our opponents are picking, what we can pick, and simulating various scenarios. Well, in short, I’m doing everything neatly and properly. I’m definitely the team’s good-luck charm, of course.

First and foremost, of course, the drafts stood out. Well, not everything was, let’s say, super bad. There were a lot of good ideas, but I had my doubts about some of the picks. Well, certain characters show up on the enemy team, and we counter with these specific ones, knowing that, well, it doesn’t seem entirely logical, or something like that. I mean, they might not be bad picks in and of themselves, but, relatively speaking, they don’t make much sense against the enemy team.

Also, of course, I watch the matches. It’s hard to say anything specific based on the matches alone—nothing really stood out that strongly. Again, it’s easier to track and refine things in a quiz show because I can hear the voice chat—people are suggesting ideas, while others, on the contrary, stay silent when they should be speaking up. Well, some silly team decisions, some mistakes—exactly, you know, in terms of certain behavioral patterns.

Well, regarding goals. I’ve already set my sights on the rest of the season. There are key tournaments ahead. The Esports World Cup, which the team is definitely going to. To perform well at the EWC. Well, ideally, of course, to win—otherwise, why am I even here? The same goes for The International. That’s the baseline.
