Congrats on the win!
-
It finally came through.
Took a while, but it’s here.
-
And how are you feeling right now?
-
Man, I’m feeling really good.
-
Happy that all the work
is finally paying off.
-
I feel like our previous
results were pretty harsh.
-
Honestly, we just weren’t able
to impose our game inside the server.
-
But today we managed
to go all-in, 100%.
-
Corrode came down
to the tiniest details.
-
I think we were still
holding back a bit.
-
But then we had a talk and said:
"We just need to play our game".
-
And the next two maps
really clicked for us.
-
What goes through your mind
when your team loses
-
the round right after pistol?
-
Is it more your team’s fault
for not full-buying,
-
or credit to the other
team for forcing?
-
Yeah, it depends, right?
You mean the anti-eco round.
-
Yeah, I think there is some credit
to the team that forces, for sure.
-
Because they’re risking
a lot economically,
-
they could be broke
for the rest of the half.
-
So yeah, it's a merit
of the other team.
-
When you left Delira
and joined 2G,
-
what was your first reaction
-
when you found out you'd
be playing VCT Americas?
-
Dude, I was hyped as hell.
-
Like, I did the tryout
with them, right?
-
And then days went by
and I hadn’t heard anything.
-
I was at my girlfriend’s house the day
they started calling me like crazy.
-
I got home and thought
"damn, I’m not getting picked".
-
Then I hopped on Discord
and the guys were all there in a call,
-
and they told me I made it.
-
I was so freaking happy, man.
-
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
so yeah, I couldn’t help but be stoked.
-
Was there a specific reason
you picked Viper
-
instead of a second initiator
on Corrode?
-
No, I think it was just more of
a comfort pick for the team overall.
-
Like, personally, I’d be fine
playing initiator too,
-
but the agents lined up
across the roster just fine.
-
- It just made sense.
- Yeah.
-
How was the transition for you
-
going from duelist
to sentinel and initiator?
-
We’ve seen improvement,
especially on Sunset,
-
but what’s the hardest
part about the role swap?
-
Man, it was tough at first.
-
I’ve always played duelist,
-
so switching roles
was a real challenge.
-
It still is sometimes,
-
because now I have to be
really focused on my utility.
-
I'm still learning how
to manage it properly.
-
When I’m playing
with spikeziN, it’s just like:
-
Where do you want the flash?
You want a stun?
-
That’s all I’m doing.
-
But I think I’m finding my path
-
and getting better
at it little by little.
-
How does it feel
to win clutch rounds
-
when your team’s life
is on the line?
-
- Man, I was hyped!
- I saw it.
-
Like...
-
Every round I clutched,
especially the first two,
-
I was a bit nervous,
-
but once I closed those out,
I was like, "Okay, I got this".
-
I was on fire. My confidence
shot up during those clutches.
-
Felt like even if it were a 1v4,
I’d take it.
-
I’m really proud of myself too,
-
because clutching is something
I’ve been training a lot.
-
And now it paid off, so yeah,
just pure happiness.
-
I was trying to count your clutches
on Ascent, but I lost track.
-
I got to three, was there more?
-
Man, I don’t know.
-
Might’ve been more, honestly.
Could’ve been four or five.
-
If you could swap one skill between
agents, what would you change?
-
Man, let me think.
-
I’d probably swap Jett’s dash.
-
- You’d put Jett’s dash on who?
- On Yoru.
-
On Yoru?
-
That would be cool.
-
What would you trade it for?
-
Yoru's, right?
-
- Maybe the flash.
- TP?
-
Oh yeah, TP, it could be.
-
Would that be OP?
-
Yeah, maybe.
-
I don't know.
I'm just thinking out loud.
-
Rumor has it that you used to be
the worst-dressed guy in 2G,
-
but apparently you’ve been
dressing better lately.
-
Is that true?
-
Yes, it's true.
-
Before I joined 2G,
my style wasn’t great.
-
But then...
-
I started making some money
-
and I was like, "Alright, time
to upgrade the wardrobe".
-
Then I started buying
better clothes.
-
- So your style’s getting better.
- Yeah, gotta level up the style.
-
And Pryze has got drip for days,
so he helps me out too.
-
When I interviewed Silentz,
-
I asked who the best and worst
dressed in the team were.
-
He said Pryze was the most stylish,
like, would wear a full suit anywhere,
-
and you were the worst.
-
Yeah, that’s fair.
-
He even helps me shop now.
The whole team actually.
-
So do you think you’re
still the worst dressed,
-
and Pryze's the most stylish?
-
Not anymore.
-
Pryze is still the drippiest, for sure.
-
But I think I'm not
the worst anymore.
-
Things have changed.
-
Who is now?
-
I’d say SpikeziN.
-
- SpikeziN?
- Yeah, for sure.
-
- He’s still young, right?
- Yeah, he’s figuring it out.
-
Just like I was.
He’s still finding his style.
-
Well, congrats on the win,
-
and good luck in your
next two matches.
-
I hope you guys can make
it to the playoffs.
-
and if all goes well,
see you at Champions.
-
That’s the goal.
We’re gonna make it.
-
Alright, man. Take care.
-
Thanks!
