We need to focus more on communication and [help] understand the game for young players because they [are] still doing so many mistakes in [the] playoffs. Our communication was on [the] lowest level in this game against Heroic.

s1mple stated that "born to win" did not have enough time to train six maps well, which is why the team often chose Inferno. The professional CS:GO player believes that this map was also convenient for many opponents at the tournament.

We just need to make better our map pool, because as you see, we only had a chance to pick Inferno all the time. We had like two to three weeks of preparation. We had boot camp as well. We just couldn’t practice all six maps.
