On the victory over Natus Vincere in the first match of group B:

I think we played very well. Yes, we lost the situation 1 vs 3. It was a sad round. I would like to say bit thanks, he played very well in this moment. We used what we could come up with in the last couple of days since I arrived in Lisbon. I spoke to the team and said what I would like to do. Thank God I found this team to be a stand-in. I really enjoyed playing with them in this tournament because they are friendly, respect me and agreed to pay exactly what I asked them.

On the situation in Team Spirit:

My position in the organization was such that I did not want to relocate to Serbia. This was the reason for my departure. I will not be able to be in Serbia in June and be in shape. I was told that I can move on and it is desirable to decide as soon as possible.

On plans for the future:

Playing at BLAST is a chance for me to show that I can play in an English speaking team. It seems to me that I will never again join a team from the CIS. I am ready to consider only moving to NAVI, otherwise I will prefer to play in Europe.

Recall that BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022 takes place in Lisbon from June 15 to 19. 8 teams are fighting for a prize pool of $425,000. The winner will receive $200,000 and a slot in BLAST Premier: World Final 2022.
