B1ad3: "We try to play as many cards as possible with sdy"
B1ad3, who is NaVi 's coach, spoke about the team's current problems and preparations for IEM Cologne 2022. During a conversation with reporters, the 35-year-old Ukrainian specialist also emphasized that the system of the "Born to Win" game built over several years helps to show excellent results even with substitutions.
We don't have a bootcamp right now. We try to play as many maps with sdy as possible to make him feel comfortable. We don't have much time to prepare because we are constantly traveling. This is especially true for s1mple, who is looking for a new place to settle down and feel comfortable. We play as much as we can, but it's not enough.
It is very difficult and exciting to spend a lot of time without proper preparation. It's good that we are a strong LAN team. We can compensate for some problems with individual form, find and use mistakes in the game of our opponents.
At the moment our system helps us a lot. We evolved for a long time, starting from the flamie period, and then continued to do so with B1T. We have built an excellent and stable foundation. Now, when we play against any team, we use our experience, but it all depends on how good or bad sdy plays. At the moment it works like this, but 90% of the game is still our structure. It's good that we have built such a great system that allows us to win tournaments even with substitutions.
Recall that the day before, 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.
