SunPayus: "I think we'll just focus on enjoying this moment"
SunPayus, who is a player of Movistar Riders, in an interview for the HLTV portal shared his feelings after defeating Vitality and reaching the playoffs of IEM Cologne 2022. During a conversation with journalists, the 23-year-old Spanish sniper also spoke about his expectations from playing in the big arena.
It's our first time entering the arena of a big tournament, so we're excited, that's why we celebrated so much in the last round. This is an amazing experience and we are really excited.
I felt that we had everything under control. We lost devastatingly at Vertigo, but I told the guys: "They are playing very well, there is nothing we can do." They were really too good, so we were just happy even if we were losing, so I think we had everything under control.
I think we'll just focus on enjoying this moment. I think I'll ask my family to come. I'm really happy to play in the arena.
It should be noted that Movistar Riders became the main discovery of IEM Cologne 2022. Starting from the Play-In stage, where the Spanish team beat MIBR and Vitality, the wards of bladeE continued their victorious procession at the group stage, gaining two victories over G2 and Vitality, thereby making it to championship playoffs. Tomorrow, July 10, Movistar Riders will play with NAVI, playing for a direct ticket to the IEM Cologne 2022 semi-finals.
