ARCRED reached the grand final of WINLINE MPKBK CIS LAN Season 5. We spoke with Get_Jeka about the upcoming title decider against Virtus.pro.
Hi! First of all, congratulations on reaching the grand final. I imagine this is a significant achievement for you. What are your overall impressions of the tournament and of St. Petersburg?
This is not our first time in St. Petersburg. We are almost locals here—we even held a bootcamp in the city. So everything feels more or less like home. We are playing our own game at the tournament and deservedly made it to the final.

You may not remember this, but PARI White Night LAN was held here four years ago. Back then, you lost 1–2 to INDE IRAE in the semifinal.
Now, four years later, you have finally reached a final in St. Petersburg. Raijin is also playing alongside you, and he lost that previous final while representing K23.
That makes this a rather interesting and symbolic occasion. Does it make winning the upcoming final even more important to you?
Yes, there is something to that. Of course, you want to win every final, but this tournament is also taking place in St. Petersburg. On top of that, we lost the final of the previous LANdaLAN in Moscow as well.

So I would like to finally win at least one of Morkovka’s tournaments.
Am I right in thinking that your family is here at the tournament?
Yes, my mother came.
— Get_Jeka
Does that give you extra motivation to perform well and win?
Yes, more or less.

Who would you like to face in the grand final? K27 currently lead 1–0, or would you still prefer to play Virtus.pro?
