sdy, 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.

IEM Cologne 2022 takes place from 5 to 17 July in Germany at the Hyatt Regency Cologne and LANXESS arena venues. As part of the championship, 24 teams from Europe, the CIS, Oceania, China, North and South America are fighting for a prize pool of $1,000,000, as well as rating points in the BLAST Premier table.
