After a stunning 13:10 victory over Falcons, we spoke with B8\u2019s in-game leader alex666 about why the team chose to face Falcons on Ancient, how he is adapting to the captain role, what changed since their last meeting, and the key mistakes that prevented an even bigger win. He also discussed the upcoming match against MOUZ, the team\u2019s emotional state, and his outlook on reaching the playoffs.<\/p>\n
We felt comfortable on Ancient. Even though Falcons had a 100% win rate, we believed the map matched our ideas better for this match.<\/p>\n
The coach helps me a lot during the game. The team also supports me \u2014 I\u2019m not doing everything alone. They help with calls when needed.<\/p>\n
Back then they were a bit more unstable. Now they are much stronger \u2014 their firepower, teamplay, and overall structure improved a lot.<\/p>\n
I think everything was mostly fine, but there was one moment where two of our players died fighting on A site. They couldn\u2019t finish the round, and that made the score closer.<\/p>\n
When NPL was IGL, he called a lot but many players also added small calls and ideas. Now most of the responsibility is on me \u2014 I give the main mid-round ideas and structure.<\/p>\n
Yes. On T side I started playing more active positions, and on CT side I moved into more supportive spots.<\/p>\n
We played them before, and we also beat them once unexpectedly at BLAST in 2023. We will see how it goes \u2014 it will definitely be a tough match.<\/p>\n
We saw how structured and confident they looked. MOUZ are very strong mechanically and tactically.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to say now. We need to see how we play the next matches. The most important thing is our practice \u2014 we can see what we are capable of.<\/p>\n
No, not at all. We just play game by game. We don\u2019t have any special expectations or pressure.<\/p>\n
