​Ahead of the ELEAGUE ​CS:GO Premier semifinals, mousesports’ Chris “ChrisJ” de Jong and Miikka "suNny" Kemppi spoke to members of the media via conference call. Here are highlights of the conversation:





Sunny on Styko joining Cloud9: It looked like he played more of my old roles on Cloud9. In Mousesports I was always just creating space and letting other players do their thing, it seems like he is trying to take map control (in Cloud9).





ChrisJ on Styko: I think he’s done his job, and it’s obviously a hard task because, based on what we watched, it seems like he is playing a completely different role...it looks like he is playing a more aggressive role (on Cloud9).





ChrisJ on playing with Snax: I feel like it is a bit too early to say how much he has helped us yet. We have only had one proper practice with him, but he has really taught us how to play...He has a lot of experience and is playing well with everyone on the team.





Sunny on their map pool: I think it is mostly the same. We can play all different maps if needed, but it is too early to say which are our stronger maps...I don’t think much has changed.





ChrisJ on Fnatic and FaZe roster changes: I think that FaZe had pretty sloppy play, and the same can be said about Fnatic with Draken. I do not think it was so well-oiled, maybe the idea of how they want to play together isn’t (complete) yet...When you play so long with a stand-in, you are bound to have to change something, even though he (cromen) took most of Olof’s roles. It is always going to be different playing with another player for so long, so it obviously hurt them. They are going to be better in the future.
