You are playing 3DMAX, a team you beat in Dallas. We are in Austin, Texas, are still here. Can you bring this energy up and start well here?
I hope It will be difficult because of course it is important, and everyone wants to get the trophy, and they are also fighting. I think we just need to get better.
Talking about a pre -, how are you coming to this program? You are here with them, rumors are blowing up … How is the preparation method in this environment?
It has been a difficult time, but okay. We are professional, so we think it doesn’t matter what happens, we should continue to perform our best and should not let it die, basically, just because of some rumors or whatever. So yes, we are just trying to do our best in this Major, try to do some harm, and hopefully win the Major.
This is really a special to me because it is in my region. People say that I’m not, but I am basically, so yes.
It seems that it usually has been a difficult year for G2. You lost Nico at the end of the year, then half a way through it M0nessy … how difficult it is to keep your mind in the game and not let the external noise be destroyed on the team’s environment.
Yes, it’s difficult. (Laugh)
Even for me, it was really hard. I didn’t have the best weather, obviously, and I was going through a lot of stress and everything, mentally, but I think we are recovering from what happened as a team, and I think we are just feeling better. Then once again, rumors started and everything, so it goes up and down, up and down, but I think it’s about being professional at the end of the day and is just trying to do my best, as I said at the beginning, and the best hope for the team.
You talk about having a difficult time because you have put pressure on yourself, and I remember you took some time from social media and such things. How are you doing now? A little better? Back back from these fast moments.
Yes, of course. I feel better I am no longer sad about the game. There was a moment when I was playing the game, and I didn’t feel like I wanted to play, for example, because I was really disappointed and didn’t enjoy the game at all. Not even exercises, or officials, or just playing for entertainment. I was definitely not enjoying the game. This was not the best time, but I feel like I’m starting to enjoy the game again.
How it has been, now playing with the heads and getting a fresh player in the team, even if it is a moment. For a while, you knew that M0nesy was about to leave, and in Bucharest, he was playing when he was already signed in another team, which was a disaster. At least you don’t have to deal with it anymore? Maybe it helps in a way …
It does, of kind. It is also rough for it. He is also a good man and a good player, but it’s rough because you are very excited to play for a team, in the hope that everything will be good. And then after the rumors come out and everything begins. I feel bad about everything and because of everything, but he is a good man, and it is really nice to play with him. I would say that this has been a pleasant time.
You have been constantly undergoing a group of group stage. Is it very important for you to try and save the weather in a way, or are you looking forward to what is next?
I learned that you always have to see what is in front of you, you can’t always see what is coming next. You have to step and for me too, play -off play -off is very important for me because it is a NA Major, with the NA crowd, and I was really disappointed because we didn’t make it in the play office in Dallas, so now I really want to play in play -offs, especially to bring my parents.
So there are some things on the line.
Yes, it’s not just play -off, it’s all, it’s a whole pack.
With everything we’ve talked about, how do you see the team’s ability in this tournament? The goal is to play off, but do you see that you are really a strong contender for it?
I mean, you listen to G2 and you hope G2 is a strong contender, but for overall G2 it has not been the brightest season, so it’s hard to say. I think we are doing fine, but I don’t know, we’ll see what happens. It’s difficult to say.
You may be releasing some pressure that may be the team that can be expected to be really good. If you don’t have it, it will probably help.
May be. I hope! (Laugh)
Talking about rumors and changes. They are very well known names. If you have to play for a boy like Ary, what do you make about it? Is this something looking forward to? Is this name that rings in your mind in a particular way?
I’m not sure I really didn’t pay attention to it. I’m just waiting to see what happens and everything has to do.
How would you rank your trust? You said that you were going through a few moments where it was difficult to practice, but it is getting better. Do you also have confidence returning? We saw last year that you were playing very well and clicking things. Do you have this trust back and love the game?
I think I am. There are a few moments when I think the game is not right for me. Like if I have only one off -day, for example, it is difficult to come back because of what has happened, but when I have a good day and everything, I really like.
Do you think this is due to the actual equipment of the game, such as the role within the server changes, or you will say that its pressure is under pressure, such as, ‘Oh, the star player has gone, so now I need to step into these shoes.’ Have you found out what this is what you struggled?
Yes, the thing is, I put a lot of pressure on myself at the end of the year. I knew that Nico was departing and I was like, ‘Well, this is my moment to be the best.’
I wanted to get MVPs, get crazy events, win the event, and then everything started down and I couldn’t handle this pressure. Like, ‘oh, maybe I’m not this boy.’ You know These thoughts started passing through my mind, and then I started reading the goods on Twitter and Instagram, and I felt as if everything had become a group, and it blew me, I think.
