— Thanks, we try to do our best in all qualifiers. The atmosphere is very good, we are having a bootcamp at the moment.


— A few words about the tournament format. Is there anything you would like to change?

— I would decrease the number of teams, attending the tournament, from 20 to 16. I would do the closed qualifiers with invites and cut the number of match days.


— Was it hard to find a replacement for Shade1 and why did you choose iLame_ru?

— Obviously, it was hard to find a replacement, as Shade is not only one of the best CIS-players, but even worldwide. iLame_ru is good in communication and shooting.

— We don't have much time to look for it, as we play all the other tournaments in our basic lineup.

— I'm a captain, ubah also helps with some fresh ideas. We don't have any specific roles in our team.

— What teams, in your opinion, are in the world's TOP5 at the moment?

— FaZe Clan, Team Liquid, Ghost Gaming, Na`Vi, Team Vitality.
