"I think that everyone else can see the progress we've made". kuben on IEM Shanghai 2018

Virtus.pro Coach Jakub "kuben" Gurczyński summed up the tournament in China.

– This game was crazy, for sure. Especially on Train, when we couldn't win on CT – we messed up a lot of times. We could have won that game. I mean, had we won this map, we could have closed it out 2:0, but on Train... We just refueled our batteries, we knew we are the better team - we won Inferno pretty easily. We had a really good preparation towards them – so we knew what to expect from them. But on Cache, I think, after they've lost a map, they've changed up quite a bit. They didn't play the same style we expected them to play judging from previous matches.

I don't know what to say – I'm satisfied with the team performance, but I expected us - as I said before in the previous interviews – I expected us to go to the final and win the whole thing. Unfortunately, maybe it was too fast, but I'm happy with the result. I think that everyone else can see the progress we've made. After snatchie addition to the team, we are expecting even more. I'm just looking forward to upcoming events. Maybe not ZOTAC because this is going to be the first event with snatchie. We are kind of going to break the ice for the first event as a team with this lineup first, but I hope that one-week long preparation to the Major is going to be enough.
