On the team’s approach to drafts and gameplay at the tournament
Cool, fast, and smart.
On Noticed
I think he’s a perfect fit for us. He’s a nice, laid-back guy who’s easy to hang out with both in and out of the game. I think he’s a very good player.
On the strongest team in the tournament
I think there are a lot of them. For some reason, everyone says it’s us or Team Yandex, but I think there are eight really good teams in this tournament that can play very well. I wouldn’t pick just one, but Yandex is probably the most standout of them all. But I also think PlayTime is a very good team; LGD Gaming can play well, Team Liquid can play well, BetBoom Team, Team Spirit… There are so many good teams: 1w Team is a very formidable opponent in my opinion.
