[R] Hello TerqS. Please introduce yourself to our readers.
[T] Hi, Tomek, 20 years, freshly after exam. In Panica.Gaming I'm playing as riffler and second igl.
[R] We're starting with your start in this team, can you tell us how you started with Panica?
[T] Do organizacji dołączyliśmy od razu 5-tką, wcześniej pod nazwa „agenty” w line-upie z Muckiem, Daniem, Gwizdakiem i Piotrullą. Panica sama się po nas zgłosiła i była zainteresowana współpracą.
[R] You won Galaxy Cup, your matches was pleasent to watch, a lot of third maps in yours BO3s. What do you think: why we were watching a lot of 3rd map in your matches?
[T] We played like a mix. You can see there will be a changes in Panica's roster, we're testing a lot. Maybe that's why we're losing maps by our wish. Last final is a good example, we should end this match by 2:0 victory, but we gave up too many rounds.
[R] In the grandfinal your team faced Mikstura1234, they beat TNC Esports, one of the favourites of whole tournament. Did you expected that? Which team was the most disappointing in this tournament?
Before tournament I bet that Mikstura1234 will be the team that we will be facing in grand final, but there was a even match between Mikstura and TNC Esports, but even that we knew that will be facing Mikstura. Armitra surprised us by winning versus Grin Esports, I thought that we'll be playing semifinal against them.
[R] Back to the past: Name a team who'll be victorious in galaxy cup?
Of course, we predicted ourselves to win, knowing our capabilities. It is true that during the tournament we had major problems with the squad and we had to quickly find new players with whom we had no chemistry. Due to all these changes, we struggled a lot in these matches because we played more mixed or with substitutes and we didn't have much time to prepare.
[R] Usually MVP of the tournaments is a player of winning team, pick a one player from your team.
It's hard to choose the MVP of the entire tournament, we won the entire tournament by playing more as a team than individually. If I had to choose someone, I would look at the statistics or rating in the most important matches (match with a 2-0 balance, quarter-final, semi-final, final).
16Danio – rating 1,04 (10map, (2-0, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2))
TerqS – rating 1.20 (10map, (2-0, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2))
Piotrulla – rating 0,86 (10map, (2-0, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2))
Muciek – rating 1,10 (8map, (2-0, 1/4, 1/2))
Guzman – rating 1,13 (8map, (1/8, 1/4, 1/2))
Looking at the statistics it would be me, knowing that individualities don't win matches.
[R] What are your future plans? We know that you are taking part in EAL 2024, are you aiming to win this tournament or do you treat it as preparation for something bigger?
Our further plans are to get to ESEA MAIN, although this should not be a problem, but we will start with open or intermediate, so we will definitely not play there this season. At EAL we aim to win. We do not assume any other result and we are confident. Currently, we still have problems with the squad because we are looking for a fifth player - a sniper.
[R] As a player, how do you evaluate the overall outcome of this tournament?
The overall shape of the Galaxy Cup is positive. Organizationally at a very good level. The admins responded very quickly to things and the tournament in our case had no delays. The tournament prize was sent almost immediately after winning the match. Compared to EAL, scheduling was better done. So far, after the beginning of EAL, the Galaxy Cup is better in terms of organization.
[R] Thank you for your time, congratulations on your victory and I keep my fingers crossed for another good performance, this time in EAL 2024. Do you want to add something else for readers, maybe your fans?
