After a memorable run at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, Nemiga entered the race for the VRS points required to qualify for the Budapest Major. At Majestic LanDaLan 3, gridge spoke with team captain Aliaksandr 1eeR Nahorny about the tournament calendar, the roster’s current goals, sowalio’s integration, Nemiga’s development, and several personal topics.
Nemiga surprised many people at the BLAST.tv Austin Major. If you perform poorly at this event, we may not see you at the Budapest Major. Why have the team played so few tournaments recently?
There is indeed a very high chance that we will not be in Budapest. It is practically one hundred percent.

Even if we win this tournament, I am not sure that we will have enough points to qualify for the Major. That is disappointing both for me personally and for the entire team.
Why we played so few tournaments is something I also question. BetBoom played the same qualifiers and produced roughly the same results, but they maintained a good opportunity through their appearances at CCT events.
I do not have a clear answer. Unfortunately, we really did not play enough.
What goal will you set for the rest of the year if you do not manage to qualify for the Major?
Life does not end with one tournament. There are many other events besides the Major.

First of all, we need to collect enough points to attend S-tier tournaments regularly. As practice shows, if you consistently play at those events, it is very difficult to fall out of that circle.
But our main goal is to grow as a team. The points will come naturally if we fix the mistakes we need to address and start playing better.
