Maniak: “We’ll make up for it. Moving forward, I think we’ll keep the same roster and continue playing.”

I don’t know, it’s hard to say right away. I don’t remember much—mostly just the mistakes, which are exactly what we need to work on, and as it turns out, there are still quite a few of them. So I don’t know—we were hoping the playoffs would go well, but we fell a little short; there were some misplays. We’ll work on improving. Moving forward, I think we’ll keep the same roster and keep playing. We have young players on the team, and I think everything will work out. We just lacked a little chemistry.

I’d really like to, actually. It’s really tough—literally in the breaks between games, we have to think of everything and do it ourselves. It’s a bit stressful. On the one hand, you understand better what you want to do, what you want to pick, and what you want to ban; on the other hand, it takes up so much time that you can’t focus on everything at once, so to speak. So a coaching staff wouldn’t hurt at all.

Not really, actually. On this map, we knew exactly what we were going to do and what we were going to pick—we just… I don’t know how to put it—we just messed things up for ourselves, blew our chances at the start, and that was it. Yeah, maybe it’s a little easier with the first pick, but it’s not a sure thing.
