The French superstar began the interview by reminiscing about his six-year career at Vitality, noting that he is now surrounded by friends, not just a team. According to him, it is amazing to have friends behind him and he is happy to see their smiles. He emphasized that it is important for him to be seen not as ZywOo but as Mathieu Herbo.
ZywOo has had many teammates in his six years in Vitality, but Dan "apEX" Madesclaire has been a constant presence on the team. ZywOo noted that he always saw apEX as a leader and was sure that he was the one who should become IGL. He emphasized that the team could follow his decisions knowing that they would be the right ones.
Speaking about his enjoyment of playing CS, ZywOo admitted that he doesn't like to be the center of attention and is more afraid of performing in front of people than playing. He noted that when he plays, he doesn't feel anything because he knows what he is doing.
When asked about the best and worst aspects of being a professional player, ZywOo said that frequent tournaments make his job difficult. However, he loves winning and feeling the chemistry with his teammates when all five of them are connected on the server and can beat anyone.
ZywOo also shared that he doesn't watch game demos to prepare, which has become an essential trait of top CS players. He said he sees the game instantly and doesn't review it. The interview ended with a look into the future, where ZywOo admitted that he doesn't think about it yet and lives day by day enjoying the moment.
Thus, the interview with ZywOo reveals his unique perspective on his career in cyber sports and personal values, showing that for him not only victories come first, but also friendship, team and sincere enjoyment of the moment.
