At the Major, the teams are under a lot of pressure, have a lot of expectations, and make the Major the most important event of their career. We understand this. We played the final in Katowice and the quarter-final in Cologne. We have experience, and it's not like we came here and won. We were mentally prepared. When we started with this team, it was essential to think that we could win and that it was not impossible. This has always been on my mind. We trained with good teams. We knew what we were capable of. CS is a very intellectual game. You need not be afraid, play your game, prepare, that's all.

[Do you think the Outsiders have reached their peak, or can the team show more in the future?]

It all depends on how we react to this victory. There are many tournaments, two Majors a year. We understand that this was the biggest championship in terms of prize money, but it all depends on how the young players perform in the future. Now we have more opportunities with this win because we no longer have to play qualifiers. We're going to BLAST Finals, hopefully in Katowice and Cologne. We will have time to rest, but we need to work. As a coach, I need to continue being strict with them so they can be themselves. We need to use this victory positively to have confidence in the future. It all depends on how we work. This victory will forever remain in our hearts and help us in difficult matches.

The Outsiders mentor will continue to oversee the discipline of the team.
