Brollan: “As an in-game leader, I have to sacrifice many things”

I guess we just have to win more.
A honeymoon period is always a thing to some extent, but I do not really believe in it that much.
We just try to improve as a team, as always, and win more games and more rounds.
At some point, we are going to have a bad tournament. I do not know when, but it is going to happen sometimes.
Still, I feel that we are improving day by day, and it is really good that we continue getting better at what we do.

Which team is tougher to play against right now, Spirit or Vitality? Results do not always reflect how a match feels inside the game.

I think Vitality are probably the strongest team at the moment.
Spirit are also a really good team, of course.
But Vitality are in really strong individual form right now, and I think they have won around 14 best-of-three series in a row.
Every one of their players is individually insane, and sometimes they play a very annoying style of Counter-Strike.
Spirit are also very good, and some of their players, such as donk, can take over a game.
But at the moment, I think Vitality are just a little better.

I have noticed that you like playing FACEIT in your free time. In your opinion, has the experience become better or worse in CS2? Some professionals say they are matched with weak players even at high ELO now.

I do not really remember the CS:GO days that well anymore, but I think things were quite different back then.
The overall level on FACEIT in CS:GO was much higher.
Now you cannot really expect everyone in the game to be at a genuinely good level.
When I enter a FACEIT match now, my mentality is that people are going to make mistakes.
That also happened in CS:GO, of course, but it is what it is, and I do not try to reflect on it too much.
Overall, I would say the level on FACEIT is pretty low in CS2 compared with CS:GO.

Do you or the team set specific goals? How important are they to you?

Of course, we try to set goals for each tournament.
But we did not really have a normal start to the season with Spinx, because at the first tournament we immediately had to win.
Our main goal is simply to improve day by day and get as much better as we can.
It is difficult to put it more precisely: we just want to keep improving all the time.
We have been doing a great job so far, and we are going to try to keep doing it.
