Tournament Journey and Performance
ENCE started the tournament strong with a win against BLEED, a significant improvement from their usual pattern of losing the first match. However, the team faced challenges and lost to both Aurora and TheMongolZ, who gla1ve acknowledged as slightly better opponents at this time. Despite these setbacks, ENCE managed to secure victories in their remaining matches, which allowed them to advance from the group stage. Gla1ve emphasized the importance of these wins for their progression in the tournament.
Communication and Team Dynamics
Gla1ve addressed the issues observed in the communication during some rounds, particularly on the CT side. He explained that the lineup is still new, with only two weeks of practice together. The team is continuously working on adding strategies to their playbook and improving their understanding and decision-making processes. Gla1ve is optimistic that with more time, the team will become more cohesive and efficient.
Player Changes and Adaptation
The recent acquisition of podi, replacing hades, was another topic of discussion. Gla1ve mentioned that while hades delivered strong performances, he sometimes lacked in communication. In contrast, podi, being younger, might be more adaptable and suitable for the team's current needs. Gla1ve sees potential in podi's youth and believes that with proper guidance, he can be molded into a key player for ENCE.
Importance of Playoff Qualification
Securing a spot in the Playoffs is crucial for ENCE as it brings them closer to earning points needed for the RMR (Regional Major Rankings). Gla1ve stressed the significance of this tournament in achieving their goal of qualifying directly to the RMR, which is a vital step towards participating in the Major. The team is determined to perform well and secure their place, understanding the immense value of being part of the Major circuit.
