Candid stavn on "stabbi"; Cache returns, BCGame Senzu, Vitality goats? | HLTV Confirmed S7E65
Q: What prompted the move from Astralis to NiP, and how do you see your role evolving in NiP?
I was seeking a fresh start and a role where I could have a bigger voice; the AWPer position with NiP feels like the right fit, and I'm excited to bring my经验 and game understanding to help the team grow.
Argentina Major, BLAST snoozefest, Season strategy ft. ash | HLTV Confirmed S7E54
Q: What is the biggest takeaway from the Blast Bounty tournament?
The format has become less impactful due to VRS, and teams are utilizing it mostly as a warm-up rather than a serious competition.

Q: What position do you dislike the most?
Dust2, you get to be the A rotator. I would give it a 6 out of 10.
malbsMd talks origin, roles & NiKo; MOUZ win PGL Cluj | HLTV Confirmed S7E17

malbsMd talks origin, roles & NiKo; MOUZ win PGL Cluj | HLTV Confirmed S7E17
Q: Did you have a backup plan or anything else that you're interested in school?
My dad told me in Guatemala school works a little bit different. So when you graduate, you can be not engineer, but you can be bachelor or accountant. So he told me, we are going to go through to be an accountant.
