Yuma on his expectations for GamerLegion’s performance this season: “It’s important to me not to dwell on the past.”

It all started after TI: I talked to some of the people involved—and in the end, everything fell into place. It feels good. I’ve worked with some of them before, and they’re good people—it’s a pleasure to work with them.

We’re still in the exploratory phase. I bring my ideas, consider their suggestions, and try to find a middle ground. They have some pretty good concepts, but in my opinion, there were a few things missing, and I shared that with them. Basically, we’re learning as we go.

I told the guys that, in my opinion, our communication in the first game felt like we were losing, even though the game was pretty even for almost the entire time, until we started making those moves where you feel like you’re losing, and you try to do something about it. I was surprised by how it ended, but at the same time, I never stopped believing that we could win.

In the second game… We’ve only been playing together for four days, trying new things—and changing things up from series to series. I don’t think anyone could have predicted in advance that we’d pick Meepo today. I take things one step at a time, one day at a time.

I don’t like setting expectations. The main thing is that we play and are satisfied with ourselves, with no regrets. It’s important to me not to dwell on the past. If I don’t have those kinds of thoughts after a tournament or a game, then I’m satisfied and can move on.

I thought it would be good for them—and for us—to become more consistent, at least in terms of making the playoffs, which in itself is already a big step, in my opinion. That would be one of my expectations.
