S1mple: "It's always nice to win tournaments, especially when you realize it only took one week to prepare."

s1mple answered some key questions about the event, the performances of electroNic and Viktor ⁠ sdy⁠ Orudzhev, and his and the team's future. s1mple was the first to draw attention to the fact that the team was able to achieve a fantastic level in the tournament, despite the circumstances that surrounded the team when they entered the tournament.

We are still a team and an organization that hunts for any trophy and is ready to win it. Especially with low training and a new player, we did a really good job. We played really well in CS, especially against FaZe, and today we played well too.

Told how somedieyoung influenced the team's playing style

I think nothing has changed, maybe some positions on the maps, but in terms of strategy and game plan, it's always the same. The other four players know 50 rounds on six different maps and it still depends on individual performances in the end.

He spoke about the performance of the FaZe Clan team and the game against Vitality

I was surprised by FaZe's game, it felt like they were not playing their own game, maybe if it was on stage, they would have played much better.

In the grand final against Vitality, the whole team was so focused that they only think about their role, how to win easy rounds and hit with every shot.

s1mple about his emotions and the team

Yes, of course, it's always nice to win tournaments, especially when you realize that it only took one week to prepare. You can imagine what can be achieved by playing with these players together.

s1mple spoke out for electroNic and sdy's performance

electroNic is very smart, he can bypass any IGL and he is really good in the middle of the round when we just have to go without using grenades and the opponents won't even wait for us.

I hope sdy plays in Cologne, I think he played really well. Today he had a lot of key rounds against OG and against Vitality, he got a lot of key kills. He is ready to learn, he knows how to listen to other people.
