sdy: "If I play well, I'll stay in NAVI"
3875sdy, who is NaVi 's stand-in, summed up the results of the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022. During a conversation with journalists from the HLTV portal, the 25-year-old Ukrainian esportsman also emphasized that his further career in the "Born to Win" depends on the performance at the championship in Cologne.
Now in many positions I feel more comfortable, but at the same time there are roles where I experience difficulties and cannot find the right approach. Overall, I feel like I'm making progress. This goes for the things we do with B1ad3 as well as my own bug fixing work.
If I play well, then I will stay in NAVI, which is very cool. If I don't stay with the team, I will get good experience that I can share with my next squad. It doesn't matter because I just love playing Counter-Strike. Either way, I'll be happy.
I think we will be more comfortable playing in the arena than in the studio. It will probably help in the playoffs. We have a good chance of winning the tournament if we do everything right, stick to our plan, don't forget the rounds and basic strategies. If everything goes well, I think we can make it.
Recall that the NAVI team became the winner of group A, having outplayed MOUZ (2:1), Ninjas in Pajamas (2:0) and Movistar Riders (2:1). Thanks to this success, "Born to Win" made it to the semi-finals of the championship.
