How did the match go, and how did it feel to defeat your former team?
It felt fucking amazing. I am in a great mood. Now we are preparing for the next match. The comeback was insane. Honestly, I am extremely happy.

Rank the strongest CIS teams at the moment.
I would say Spirit, BETBOOM Team, us, and PARIVISION in fourth.

Does that mean magic are already a top-three CIS team?
Probably now, yes.

What is your goal for this tournament?
We have one more match today, and we need to win it. That is all.
— AW
You may have to play Inferno again. How prepared are you for that map?
Our Inferno is fairly unusual. I think teams sometimes find it difficult to play against us.
— AW
Did you stay in touch with your former teammates after leaving PARIVISION?
Yes, we still talk normally.

Build your five-player dream team.
molodoy, kyousuke, me, YEKINDAR, and m0NESY.
