RodjER: «We did everything right and left our opponents no chance»

Virtus.pro's support shares his thoughts on the first games of ESL One Birmingham.

On the match against Team Spirit

We picked Leshrac, and Team Spirit answered by counter-picking Nyx Assassin. Therefore, we simply assigned him to the 4th position. Leshrac is a well-suited for not allowing the enemy core to farm hero.

The game plan was simple – win lanes, press buttons, buy items and win.

On Fnatic's Razor pick

They did not expect to see us play such mobile heroes that can easily counter their spells. Our great pick phase brought us victory. The draft was our main strength.

On Queen of Pain on the first map against Fnatic

QoP is good as a second core, and she was not counter-picked, as well. She was simply unstoppable on all stages of the game, including the lane-phase. It was RAMZES666's idea to pick her – and we really liked it.

On Fnatic's possible comeback on the second map

They had a possibility to turn the game around – their heroes were very suitable for teamfights. Had we faltered with our spells just once, it was Fnatic's game for the taking. But as we did everything right, they were left no chance.
