When asked about his vision for the team's future amidst rumors of internal fragmentation, fRoD responded that he would like to see the team as a cohesive unit in the future. He added that it's important to discuss issues and listen to the opinions of teammates.
I think it's always beneficial for a team to stick together and understand each other. Sometimes changing the lineup and personnel isn't the solution. This is something we're going to discuss, but the main goal is to identify all the problems we have in the game and come back stronger next year.
