We've been flying somewhere over Greenland for almost 4 hours.
All body parts are numb. Our two guys are lying, I wrapped them in blankets.
I hope they don't get sick.
The road is really hard, the plane is full, but we are very motivated.
We were escorted by Mark's family,
Yan's mom was calling all morning, she was worried.
We have a lot of support, everybody wishes good luck.
We still have a lot of time on the plane, I hope guys don’t get tired.
We departed from Moscow in the morning, we also arrive in the morning in New York, today we have a media day.
We shouldn’t sleep in NY otherwise we'll get jet-lagged.
We definitely need to look good in the photos.
I’ll give the guys all my strength.
We spent 10 hours on a plane to the US and the plane was packed.
Epic Games invested unreal amount of money.
Very good hotel, good flights, good organization.
We were immediately driven to the media,
we went through 4 stations of recording interviews, taking photos and videos.
Guys don’t really speak English so I helped them to translate.
We haven't eaten yet, we are so tired,
but we are not going to rest on purpose.
We will go to bed later in the evening to get up in the morning to minimize jet lag.
Shout-out to our reporter Julia Kramnik,
she didn’t get a visa and stayed at home.
I can't say you're losing much.
Of course, it is a great event, a beautiful city,
a lot of emotions, a lot of cool pro gamers,
but for the guys and me this is just one stage
that we have to go through.
I give you my word that we will do everything to show the highest possible result.
Gambit, GO, GO!
Mark, tell me how you feel.
I feel awful.
I woke up at 4 AM, fwexY didn't sleep at all.
Check-in lasted for an hour and a half,
waited for the plane for another hour.
Then we flew for 10 hours, I slept for only 4 hours on the plane,
and fwexY slept through both lunches.
We haven't eaten yet, by the way.
Then we came here and immediately went to the media day,
spent 4 hours doing it.
Now waiting for lunch.
Is this your first long flight?
Yes.
What are your first impressions of NY, do you like it?
Not really. Noisy, dirty,
like only the top view of the city, don't like what I see looking down.
What is the practice room schedule like?
I still don’t quite understand,
first come, first served basis. You book for 3 hours, then you can renew.
Well, that's my understanding.
Jet lagged?
No
Just dead inside with a headache.
We lived according to NY time when we were at the bootcamp.
We fell asleep at 6 AM.
Thank you! Have a rest. Say goodbye to everyone.
