Q: Liquid was not so lucky at the end of the Rio competition. Although I am very sad, can you talk about your inner feelings after the game?
A: This is something we didn't expect at all. We played well in the second half of the year, which was the biggest game in the second half. This result is really disappointing. I thought we had many chances to beat them, but we didn't seize them. I felt very sad at the end of the game. Of course, I want to go off stage and thank the fans who support us. After all, this is the last performance on the last day. I tried to take a photo with each of them and sign their names. I tried to smile at the camera ... but it was really hard to do.
Q: During the whole competition, the team spirit was very positive. It seems that you are under a lot of psychological pressure. What is it actually like? Do you feel the pressure?
A: It is difficult to describe it in words. With the progress of the game, we began to make many mistakes, some mistakes that should not be made at all. I feel too stressed. If the pressure were not so great, people wouldn't make such mistakes. The audience and fans have given us so much support and hope that we can win the game. We really want to respond to the expectations of the fans with a victory. But we didn't. It's terrible.
Q: Yekindar's joining can be said to make Liquid look brand-new. Do you think you haven't shown your strength in this major?
A: That's true. Our strength is much better than it appears. If we can play even 80% of our strength in the practice match, the result will be completely different. Obviously, the practice match is completely different from the official match. If the pressure is too great, our operation will be deformed. This is exactly what we need to improve next, and we will try our best to play the rest of this year.
Q: Blast Autumn Tournament and Global Finals are coming soon. You can have a good rest before these two games, and then let others know your true strength when the game is over.
That must be much better than what we are showing now. We can win any game. We have so many excellent players, but they are out of order because of too much pressure. We can play better than now, and we hope to win the next few big games and let everyone see how strong we are.
Q: Choosing a map is very interesting for you and the team spirit. I said you had something on the overpass before, but the team finally chose antique as the winning map. Why?
A: I think the ancient style is more suitable for us, and this BP is also in our expectation. We were lucky to start with CT in ancient times, but they won seven rounds in a row (actually six rounds), which made our subsequent game very difficult. On T's side, we started well and won five or six rounds, which was incredible for T, but we lost the game in the end. We showed our strength in ancient CT against Navi, but we didn't play in this game.
Q: There are many surprises in this competition, such as FaZe 0-3 out, NiP 0-3 out and so on. Many people are puzzled by this. Do you feel the same way?
A: I don't know. I think every team and even every player is playing well now. If someone is not ready, the well-prepared team will win the game. It's that simple. The strength between the top teams is very close.
Q: Who do you think is the best young player in this competition? Will this make you excited about next year's competition?
A: Before my major, I was optimistic about PATSI. I think he plays well, he has a big heart that a champion should have, and I think he is a future star.
