sjuush: "We want a lot more. Our goal is to make the Major"

I'm feeling pretty good, I think we can take a lot from Cologne with us, there was a lot of experience for the younger guys. It's one of the biggest events, so we can take a lot from the mental things, the pressure.

In practice, we've done really well, but we haven't had that much practice time. So we're using these days and weeks to get ready for these online tournaments.

I think it's pretty hard to say the expectations because I think the whole VRS system is really, really bad. I think we both got kind of lucky and we played really well at the start, the qualification to PGL Astana helped us a lot to climb the rankings and get some invites, but it's also been really rough.

Before the break, I think we could be really proud to make it to the top 25. Our goal was to make it to the top 30 before the break and we achieved that goal by a few steps.

Hopefully, this season we'll achieve a lot more, we want a lot more. Our goal is to make the Major, so we need a few more points to be able to do that.

You could definitely feel the difference going to Astana or Cologne, you just know it's way more professional when you arrive.

Going to these smaller LANs, there's a lot of issues and a lot of things you have to accept, a lot of games to play on one day so you can't have the same routines that you have at the big events, and that's what I struggled with, not going to the gym or getting to prep in the way we're used to.

You go into the games with bad setups and you just have to accept all of these things.

Practice is really important for us, and making sure we utilise the time efficiently. I feel like in the few days we've had to practice, we can really see the potential in the team, so with more we can bring that to the officials as well.

I'm looking forward to play officials and getting to practice more, because with the addition of xKacpersky, he's bringing so much to us firepower wise.

I think it's mostly just that I have a bigger voice in the team. In the Danish HEROIC voices there were a lot of voices, so I just let them do their own thing and listened, support the entire time. With the international team I started talking more, but we had a lot of voices, so you kind of have to support them as well.

Here, I also support, but I also give my opinion every time, and I think that's what helped me improve. I can actually help mid round or before the games, whatever it is.

Also grinding a lot, if we qualify for something now it means more than before compared to the past when you just get invites for everything. It has been a little annoying to see other teams play tournaments that I was usually at, but it's good to get the reality check.

Yeah, it's given me a lot of confidence and belief in my own game that my reads are right and that I can actually do more to help the team compared to before.

Snappi is good at reading his teammates emotionally and knowing what his players need.

He gives a lot of space to everyone in the team. With cadiaN, it was more set, he wanted to control things, and Snappi gives more freedom.
He's just really smart as well, so it's easy to help him with things. He helps a lot with everyone in the team as well, whatever they need.

He needs the experience from big events, and I think it'll come really quick to him. My thoughts are that he's really talented, and he's only 18, he's only just started and can only become better.

We're feeling pretty good, everyone is excited to get back to practicing because we can feel there are some small details we need to improve on. On T sides, we want to do some reactions, but we haven't talked about it all, so we just do the thing in between. With just the smallest amount of time, we can get on the same page more and it will help us a lot.
