Coming into ESL Professional League, what would you take into account to be a hit for this staff in the mean time?

I believe our focus is simply exhibiting enchancment, and in addition clearly making it to the Playoffs. I imply, that’s profitable for us for now. So yeah, now we have been specializing in a whole lot of issues within the final couple of weeks. We had a bootcamp and we simply put the concentrate on communication and we need to present enhancements for ourselves in communication rather a lot. Yeah, as I discussed, qualifying to the Playoffs would make a profitable match for us.

Your final day trip on LAN was IEM Cologne, the place you managed to beat NAVI. When trying again on what to enhance, do you focus extra on the massive wins or the losses?

We’re specializing in each. I believe even when you win the sport, you possibly can rewatch it, you possibly can hear again to the voice comms and you’ll achieve some details about it. Like, although you gained the sport, it doesn’t imply you performed completely, you by no means play excellent. For those who play actually good you possibly can even simply watch how you play, and what you place the concentrate on to possibly achieve some details about that. Clearly, when you lose, you possibly can simply look again what did you do flawed, simply analyze it, and go from there.

That’s the precise technique to be I believe – nothing’s ever excellent! What do you suppose the benefits and downsides are of getting such a youthful staff?

I believe an enormous benefit is we’re actually adaptive. We’re actually younger, and we’re actually hungry for profitable video games. We’ve got a whole lot of explosiveness, ? Like hearth, I might say. However on the identical time, this explosiveness can go to our drawback. Typically, we are able to possibly generally rush some rounds. We don’t suppose it via totally. It could actually trigger some issues, so that is why being one of many youngest groups right here, we have to put a concentrate on taking part in a very calm and picked up recreation.

Excluding frozen, you’ve been on MOUZ the longest. Do you assist the brand new gamers settle into the squad, and in that case, how?

Sure, I imply, I’ve been right here the second longest after frozen. I helped, for instance, Jimmy (Jimpphat) after he joined the staff. I attempt to assist him as a lot as I can. If he has some questions I’ll reply them, or I’ll simply attain out to him if there’s something I noticed. Nevertheless it’s not simply me – it’s everybody. They’ve me, however we even have David (frozen) as a result of we aren’t excellent – we’re additionally right here to study, and to realize as a lot expertise as we are able to. So, everybody has one another, and possibly someone may help greater than someone else.

I imply, you’ve performed with siuhy and xertioN in MOUZ NXT earlier than. How does that have taking part in collectively within the Academy Leagues aid you guys in the primary roster?

It helps rather a lot that I’ve performed with them earlier than. I’m actually blissful that we may have this reunion! I imply, simply each of them, Dorian (xertioN) and Kamil (siuhy), they’re simply superb individuals and superb teammates. I actually love them and it’s in all probability certainly one of my finest experiences to play with them once more right here in Tier 1. I believe our historical past, that we’ve performed earlier than, it helps us rather a lot. We all know one another, and we may be actually open with one another. We will inform one another issues, for instance, what we did flawed. Like, we may be actually open to one another and I believe it helps us rather a lot, sure.

What’s it been like having siuhy again at MOUZ? He went to GamerLegion, got here again a Main finalist. What affect has he had since coming again?

[laughs] He’s the IGL, proper? He kinda modified the sport fashion of our staff a little bit bit as a result of he has totally different views than different IGLs. We’re simply making an attempt to get alongside together with his playstyle once more. It’s going fairly properly I might say. We try to adapt. He additionally brings a whole lot of management – he exhibits he’s the captain of the staff, ? I believe it’s wanted for the staff.

One remaining query – what’s your massive hope for this MOUZ roster in 2024?

My largest hope is that we are able to raise a trophy along with this lineup. It might be superb to see each certainly one of us simply attaining their dream.
