TaiLung on fcr’s contribution: “He highlighted key moments and replays, and his words really made sense.”

TaiLung: I think BLAST Slam VII really helped us, and the fact that we arrived already prepared. I think PlayTime was taking a break, but they were still at a boot camp in Peru or Brazil—I don’t remember which. I think that gave us a serious advantage, even though they looked strong too. The first game of the series was tough, but the rest went more smoothly. In the second game, we simply outplayed them in the draft, so everything went very smoothly—we caught them on the lines. In the third game, in my opinion, the same thing happened.

Wisper: kaffs, for example, handles drafts and things like that, helps a bit with gameplay, but fcr is mainly in charge of the game. So, I think he’s helped us a lot; his contribution was noticeable even at BLAST Slam VII—in my opinion, he did a great job there. We’re still moving well around the map. After the very first series against PlayTime, the situation was terrible, but then the coach went over with us what we needed to improve and explained exactly what was going wrong, because in many matches we were too timid and got heavily pressured. He pointed this out to us, and I think he deserves a lot of credit.

TaiLung: To be honest, fcr really surprised me. Usually, when a team has an analyst, he’ll say certain things about the game, but as a player, you already know what’s what. But when this guy came along, he highlighted key moments and replays, and there was real substance to what he said. I thought he’d be spouting all kinds of nonsense, but the coach really understood the concept, knew the theory, and that helped me a lot.
