"We needed that loss" - hattygOD

After getting dealt their first loss of the tournament at the hands of Revenant Esports, we got a chance to talk to hattygOD from Enigma Esports. Here is what he had to say.

So first loss of the tournament. How does it feel?

It feels fine. We needed that. I think it was a good game by them. I think the defeat was necessary. Otherwise,we would have been high in the air. Trying to maintain the streak.

Do you think they caught you off guard with the Anubis pick?

Maybe, but I don’t know about that. I can’t say anything about that.

Did you prepare the map?

Yeah, like not that much. But we were ready for Anubis.

Your perma ban has been Vertigo. After this loss on Anubis, will we see a change in your map pool? Or you are going to continue banning Vertigo and practice more on Anubis?

Yeah, maybe. We will be practicing Anubis and not banning Vertigo, that much.

After you won a light buy on the third round of Inferno, it was looking as if you would get a lot more rounds on CT than you did. What went wrong? Were they playing too aggressively? Or were you playing too passive?

No, it was not like that. There were some basic mistakes happening in the game. But that is fine, we will improve and come back stronger.
