The opponent [Team Spirit] was not an easy one, but everyone is beatable, and you must always strive for improvement. I believe this isn`t our final tournament. I will still showcase what I`m capable of.
I am always confident because I possess that kind of mental fortitude. It makes no difference to me who I play against: ZywOo, s1mple, or donk. There`s no significant difference for me. I consistently try to dictate my playstyle and aim to be the best on the server.
