With his team limping into the playoffs despite a strong start to the season, Team Dignitas' support, Alan "KiWiKiD" Nguyen, says a lack of discipline is to blame for his squad's late season slide.

In an interview with Gamespot's Travis Gafford, KiWiKiD started by reflecting on his own expectation for the future. "This split we made it to playoffs...I just want to give it my best" he said. "I've been in here 3 years now and I really want to get to Worlds. I feel like if I don't get to worlds everything I've done here is null...I just need to make it worth it, for me and of course for my team because I really love them."

Despite making it to the playoffs, Dignitas are currently seeded in sixth with a 10-6 overall record after losing four of their last six matches. "It was a typical Dignitas split. We always hold first...somehow in the middle of the split we start to falter, we throw out series leads and we always seem unable to recover" KiWiKiD said of the team's late season struggles.

When asked to evaluate whether or not the sudden departure of head coach Sami "Rico" Harbi affected the team's ability to find wins, KiWiKiD was unsure. "It's really hard to say...but I think it had to do at least a decent amount with it" he explained. "Because without a solid figurehead - [interim coach] Brokenshard's been doing a great job, coaching and giving us our picks and ideas and plans - but I feel like Rico...as an older person just commanded a lot more respect naturally. I feel like that's what we needed in the house for optimal practicing and...discipline."

Ram "Brokenshard" Djemal stepped into the coaching position after Rico was forced to fly back to France in the wake of personal issues. Earlier today, it was announced that Rico had returned to the team. KiWiKiD went on to say that Dignitas' scrims suffered as a result of Rico's absence, and he finished by saying "it kind of puzzles me...and the only thing I can attribute it to is Rico not being there."

Looking ahead to the playoffs, KiWiKiD expressed hope that his team could return to their early season form. "I genuinely felt we were almost a world class team...it was an amazing feeling and I really want to get there." But he ended on a sad note, saying that unless Dignitas could recapture their mojo, their chances at Worlds is "probably like 10%."
