sdy after defeating NIP: "Despite the score, it was a tough game"
sdy, player of NaVi team, shared his impressions after the devastating victory over NIP. According to the 25-year-old Ukrainian esportsman, the game turned out to be equal, despite the score. In addition, the "Born to Win" stand-in speculated about the difference in approach between NAVI and other teams for which he played during his career.
What makes NAVI a unique team? There are many things. The understanding of CS by NAVI players is different from what I had in past teams. Perhaps this is the main feature. Everything was easier in Team Spirit and MAD Lions. Initially, I did not expect that I would get any special knowledge about the game in NAVI, but it turned out to be a useful experience. Each teammate can point out my mistakes. B1ad3 helps the most, with whom we watch matches and analyze the bad moments in my performance. Sometimes it turns out to quickly fix the error, and sometimes it takes time.
Despite the score, it turned out to be a difficult game. Especially for me, because on Nuke we had a lot of rounds and at some point I started forgetting what to do. In order not to forget, I always have printouts on paper nearby. What's in them? You definitely don't want to know. This is a completely different level. I can't talk about it.
Recall that a little earlier, the NAVI team defeated NIP with a score of 2:0 and secured participation in the championship playoffs. In their next match, the "Born to Win" will compete for a direct ticket to the semi-finals of the tournament.
