magixx: "It doesn't help any team [to go straight to semis]"

I'm feeling great, it's cool to make the playoffs and be straight through to the semis. I hope that we won't be too shaky as we were in Dallas after not experiencing the quarters, but a win is a win.

It definitely is, it doesn't help any team because when you start in the semis you face a team that has experienced victory on that specific stage and in front of that specific crowd and they're more used to it as a result.
It means you have to spend the first few rounds getting used to it because it's very different to the studio.

Exactly that, yes.

We're going to wait for the results of the quarter-finals and see who the next opponent is. Before that, we'll play some practice games and pugs to stay warm.

It would be great because you can't wish for a better thing before the player break. I hope we can maintain our form from the studio.
