"We didn't want to give them a single round" - BENZENE

Strong start on Inferno, can you talk about Inferno?

"Our game plan was to not drop a lot of rounds, we checked the table and the only thing that would stop us from qualifying were the rounds. We wanted to give them no rounds but still we gave them 10 rounds combined and we're not very happy with that."

What was your prep coming into this match?

"We didn't have a different game plan, we just stuck to our basics and basically we did not want to give them any rounds at all."

You put up a strong T-side on the CT-sided Vertigo, can you talk about that?

"We are not that comfortable on the map on both T and CT sides, we wanted to test that out today, we did some new stuff but it's still kind of shaky in my opinion. We set up DiceDealer to take initial fights, Vertigo is his favorite map, he is a really good player and we expect him to get those entries and not die solo. We all like Vertigo but are still getting in the groove."

Can you talk about Bhavi as an IGL?

"I think he has the brains for the game but lacks just a little bit mechanically. He is really good, keeps the team together and sometimes he panics in high pressure games, we try to calm him down. I've been playing with him for 2 years now, he's a really good IGL, we really liked his approach to the game in terms of calling and I stick to him."
