SK winning Dreamhack Summer 2017.

That’s true. We can’t say we were in a slump with fnx because with him we were still playing semi finals and grand finals in every tournament we attended. Fnx is a passive player, really good on clutch rounds and really experienced. Felps brought more creativity and aggressivity in-game but, for what we were in need of, he was not the best option. We were thinking about bringing someone at least close to fnx’s style so we could keep playing the way we like. In the beginning, it was really hard for us to play with felps and after two group stage losses, we had to review everything we were doing. The most important thing we did was showing felps that he had to be the player that the team needed and he understood 100%. Since then, we've started winning again.We were the best team in the world in 2016 as well and I think we are better now than in 2016. That’s a really good thing because now we probably know the mistakes we did last year and won’t do those mistakes again. There’s no pressure at all. We´re going to keep adapting, changing, creating and playing our game.Yes, the preparation for the major was not good, or rather, there was no preparation [solely for the major]. Like you said, we played 3 tournaments in the last 4 weeks. We don’t have any aces up our sleeves but we have creative players like fer and felps that always do surprising things.Swiss format is a really good format, for underdogs. We don’t feel even 1 % comfortable playing in this format. Every single match is best of one and I don’t think it’s a good thing. Everything can happen in a BO1. Like you saw at ESL Cologne, we lost more maps in the group stage (swiss format) than in the two BO3’s and the BO5 that we played in the playoffs. We lost to Space Soldiers, a team that left the tournament with a 1-3 record. I understand that it’s impossible to make every match BO3 but for me, the best format was the one that ECS used. About the preparation, I think it was fine, for us, because the way we prepare for the opponents is different and doing this a night before is really fine for us. I can’t talk for other teams because I don’t know how they do it.We practiced one map against them online last week and they impressed us. They're a really good team with lots of skill and new things. We won’t underestimate them.Our goal is to win the major!I want to say to SK fans and my fans that we're going to keep working really hard and we will do everything possible to keep winning. We are still hungry and we don’t want to stop now. Thanks!
