Dude, I didn't understand the question
Me neither. Can you repeat the question?
Hey guys! Cold and I are here today
we're going to play ping pong while answering some questions
that you guys posted on facebook, instagram, twitter
and all those social media platforms
and let's see who's the best player here
we hope you like it
Hey Luis Gustavo Reis!
so Vertigo is still pretty new
there are still going to be lots of changes
it's been really...
it's been really great playing with them
it hasn't been as bad as we expected it would be
but some of the changes that Valve made
weren't that great for the map
but still, it's a new map so there's going to be another test
so let's see how it's gonna be
let's see how the future unfolds
Hey Eduardo! Um...
man, I think the feeling of winning a major is one of the best possible
we work very hard to be able to win the championships
I think the major is the most important among them
and when you achieve your goal, it's an undescribable feeling
so I think undescribable is the right word for it
Hey João Pedro!
losing blast was pretty terrible indeed
we never won a Brazilian championship
even when we were playing well in 2016, 2017
we always lost all the Brazilian championships
and we prepared really well
really wanted to win this championship
we tried isolating as many problems as possible
so we could focus and keep our head in the game
and it ended up not going very well
and we played really poorly
and it was really bad having lost this championship
because we really wanted to win so...
we really regret having lost this championship
Well, Gabriel. In reality I do have feelings
it's just that during the game I'm a colder person because
if I let too many emotions get in the game I end up doing stupid things
I prefer to stay a little colder and stay focused on the game
and that's why you don't see me letting out emotions during the game but...
when you say I don't have feelings, that's a lot, man
but thanks for the question
Damn, Yuri. Explaining each one of our motivations is kind of hard
you would have to ask the other guys too
but my biggest motivation is to...
never be content with our results so
after we win
or if we lose, we always want to improve
and we always want to...
maintain our very best position
trying to remain the best team in the world
so...
that's my motivation
but when it comes to the guys, I don't know
what's your motivation, Fer? Tell me
Dude, my motivation is...
to win the game, you know?
give it my best...
winning the game isn't even my motivation
it's more so the consequence of my hard work
so I think the motivation is to be happy with what we do
and keep on doing our best, you know man?
I think that's what motivates us
to give it our all every day
Renato, um...
honestly, truth is Brazilians are pretty used to
suffering over sports and stuff but...
the truth is we don't like breaking your hearts, man
it's just that sometimes it really is hard
it looks like we have everything...
we close the game and it looks difficult but...
I want to apologize because that's not what I meant to do, you know?
but it happens, you have to prepare your heart
that's one more test
that's god testing your life
Hey Ryan dos Santos, how's it going?
the biggest challenge to being a pro--
MOTHER#$%#R!
and being a pro-player...
well I think all the travel...
we don't really get to stop at home
so we're always traveling
we have a very intense schedule
with or without championships
you know, even outside the championships
so I think the biggest problem with being a pro-player
are these trips
we travel to a lot of places
the jetlag is really bad sometimes
and it ends up breaking up our routine
and it ends up interfering with our health too so...
I think jetlag is our main problem here
in a bad period?
Renan...
dude
honestly at this point we're used to Brazilians
Brazilians are very much like,
if you win you're the best, if you lose, you're the worst
you know? Most of them are like that
but we don't really let it get to us, man
we're really used to it and I think we...
I think even in life, you know man?
you have to lean on the people who want to see you thrive
and as much as I know that there's a group out there
that was really hating us...
we know that deep down they like us
and they actually want to see us win, you know?
so we don't...
we don't really pay attention
we focus more on the guys that support us
that send positive messages and everything
I think that's it
for me?
What's up, Felipe Oliveria?
everything good?
so...
I think we've gotten to a period where we're very accustomed
to living far away from our families
so we don't suffer with this that much anymore...
but the LAN gaming house is really cool
especially living with the guys
it's really cool
everyone knows how to respect each other's privacy really well
that's why it works out really well
we laugh together every day
'cause the guys are really chill
but being separated from the family...
I think the people got over it pretty quick
in the beginning it was really hard
because everything was very new for us
now we've been here for four years already
so lots of comings and goings by now
so we've already gotten used to it
it's already much calmer
Well...
talking about defeat is kind of tricky because...
it's always bad to lose
but I think a defeat that really changed us was...
the final against Cloud9 in Brazil
I think it was during an EPL
an EPL in Brazil but don't know if you remember
and we ended up getting to a final and we
were playing an overpass and we were getting beaten from one side
and we ended up turning the game around, you know?
we won on the map and everything
and we were really hyped to win the Brazilian championship
and we ended up losing in the final for...
...for our attitudes
so I think that one really messed with us, you know man?
'cause it was in Brazil and all, and we never won in Brazil
so it was really... it was really tough, that loss
What's up, Paolo Neves? How are you?
I think the hardest team we ever played against
was definitely Astralis
you know, 'cause they were doing really well in 2018
it really was a very tough team
they were playing in a way that we had to change our style a little bit
while we were up against them, so we had to play a bit more...
loose
looking a bit more for a gap, because
they're a team that really understood our rotations
it was the only team that we had to change our gaming style for
so...
definitely Astralis
Astralis was a really hard team for all of us but...
believe it or not, it became easier to play against them
because our games against them were always
really tight in 2018
we were with Stewie and Tarik on the lineup
so...
we have to really change our gaming style to be able to
get up to their level a little bit
Kleberson...
Dude, I don't know how to explain it to you, man
there's a lot of stuff you can do to conquer someone
I think your time will come, man
don't give up yet
I think everyone was made for someone
and at some point you're gonna find your soul mate
don't give up
What's up Juninho?
everything cool?
dealing with the community at a difficult time...
is kind of complicated, you know?
people really like seeing us winning and don't really like seeing us losing
even when we have a good championship
and we lose because the other team plays better
the fans don't really understand that well, so
I think that's pretty typical of Brazilians as Fer said
Brazilians still don't have...
they don't really understand that...
there can be teams that beat you one day
so...
back in the day we used to win a lot of stuff
the fans would be like, wow you guys are so good and stuff
but we still haven't gotten through that period of defeat
we kind of skipped over that part in the beginning
so we're a team that got a lot of victories very quick
and there are teams that until this day are still battling
to get even a small victory
so the guys don't really understand that
so...
the frustration comes from the...
the frustration comes from our defeat and fans
thinking that we're satisfied with our results
actually, it's very much the opposite
we're trying even harder now to get to the top
but the fans don't understand that one bit
but it's kind of annoying because at the end of the day,
you're just trying to give your best and
you get a lot of negative comments that end up messing with you
but other than that
we're able to understand
Felipe, here's the thing man
I was thinking about the VP in reality because
I think VP is a really legendary team
they ended up changing their line which no longer exists and all
but Cold just reminded me of another team, which is Fnatic
Fnatic is a team that...
when we started playing
it was a team that won a lot, man
it was a really good team and we always wanted to destroy those guys
and then the first championship we had with our line
we had just recently changed
we got to the end of the final against them, having just won the first map
and then we lost the series and everything
so I think that Fnatic
and VP are the teams that I'd really like to play against in a final
'cause I think those guys are legends
so it'd be really cool to play against them one day
What's up, Caio?
so our general routines in the camp
we're used to...
waking up around noon to eat
and then we're eating
after we eat we...
do two or three hours of tactics depending...
what our schedule looks like
if we have a lot to do, we practice for an hour and a half
two hours...
if it's really busy then just an hour
or just review the maps we didn't play very well on
and...
after that we have...
we play three maps...
take a one hour break...
after that one hour break we play two more maps
and then our day of training together is wrapped
and we can play individually or do whatever we want
he's asking about the tournaments, bro
Yeah, the camps in general, no?
I think he's asking about the tournaments, not practice
Okay, okay we do that at home
but...
once inside the camp, when we're in the camp
we go in accordance with the hours of the championship
so for example, if the championship is at five in the evening,
if the game is at five in the evening
we wake up, I don't know,
around one in the afternoon
we eat,
everyone together,
and then we have...
about 2 or 3 hours to prepare for the game...
and get warmed up
and then when we get to the camp, we warm up a little more
now if it's at the bootcamp,
at the championship,
at the bootcamp it's a little more intense so we
try to show up a little earlier
so like when we did our bootcamp in Madrid,
we were showing up at 10 in the morning,
we would do our tactic at 11,
At 11...
At 11 or noon
2 hours of tactics
then we'd start playing at 1 and only finish at 10 at night
and that's a little intense because in Europe the teams are better
and they train really well
so we try to learn as much as we possibly can while we're in Europe
Guilherme, I think the hard part about living with your teammates
and I think with anybody is...
that everybody is different, you know?
so sometimes you
have your own idea about how things should be done
not just at work but in life, you know?
because sometimes like...
you know, we live 6 people together right?
and everybody has their own problems outside the game
sometimes someone has some issue going on
or somebody else has an issue, so
every day we have to deal with a lot of different problems and
and at the same having to forget it all to be able to work, so
sometimes it ends up being kind of rough
because someone's unhappy
and sometimes it interferes with the game but
I think that's normal
everybody has problems
and you just have to
adjust to it as best as you can
I think that's the problem
if everyone has a problem and we end up mixing a lot of problems together
we end up not being able to do our job well
but I think that's normal
Oh man
When it "displeases" you?
That's hard!
What's up "displeases you" Diogo?
Oh wow, this is a literary guy over here
What's up "displeases you" Diogo?
so...
when we don't feel like it or are kind of unmotivated
and we're working on the camps
we usually take 1 or 2 days off
so we can reset our minds a little bit
and then we take, I don't know, 2 days off
we, you know, get together and all do something
or...
I generally go out for a drink
'cause I enjoy it
so I try to give my mind a reset
and try to forget what happened
and distract myself with something
during those two days
to try and do a reset
or once in a while we...
I don't know man
when we're not really feeling it, or not really up for it
we might play a little game to ease our minds
the important thing is to relax your mind, to cool your mind bro
'cause that really improves your performance later
What's up João?
being in a stadium full of your fans, all crowded et cetera,
it's really great, man 'cause you feel recognized
the people are there to see you play, you know?
So...
Just think about giving them a good show because
they'll give you a good show back, you know?
so when you have people that like you
and people who want to see your work
I think it's really gratifying
and the very first time we got to the stadium
my memory is really bad dude but I think it was
in Katowice, right man?
your was in...
Katowice was the major, right?
I didn't play that major
Oh yeah, I don't think Cold played that major
But yeah, your first time was at the major
Yeah, the first time I played in a crowded stadium was during a major
It was the first major I played in my life and damn
I had already moved on from the groups, I had gotten to Legends
I was really excited because it was my first major
I was even happier because we had passed
and were able to go to Legends so it was
a really great feeling man. I...
the truth is we were really happy and didn't know it, you know?
that's the truth, man
I think that's it...
What's up, Marcus?
Well, bro...
That one's kind of...
Tell them that I have anxiety when I work
Hey, Marcus, so...
how do I work to control my anxiety during the championships?
the team itself...
each individual has their own...
their own ritual
so...
for example, Fer likes to...
I don't know man
play a different game to relax his mind
or just chill out in his room
Felps also likes to chill out in his room
Fallen
likes to watch demos and see what the teams are going to do
watch the teams along with Zelão
me, I like to have a drink
and not really think about the next day
I only wake up to keep playing
so...
I don't really contain that much anxiety
I don't get that anxious when I play, really
and I don't even really worry about the next day
I just let it happen
So Lucas,
Dude, we've had a lot of bad moments, you know?
as I said, when we lost the Brazilian championship it was really bad
but I don't think I can name one moment that was the worst
Do you remember what our worst moment was, Cold?
I mean sometimes we might have a silly fight
there have been championships where we lost
and it f#&*!ng sucked
we've been through it all
our team's been through everything you could possibly imagine bro
but...
I can't really tell you what was the worst, man
but...
I really don't remember to be honest
I know the team almost broke up because I fought with Cold once
the team almost broke up because we played a championship really badly
and we had trained really well and we were like
really sad after we lost
there were times people fought for no reason at all...
even in the bootcamps there's beef, man
we go to the bootcamps to work, we play for ten hours
we end up fighting, imagine playing for ten hours man
and then end up fighting because of that, bro?
and that sucks because...
a thousand good things could happen, but if one bad thing happens
you always end up thinking about the bad thing, you know?
That's how humans work, bro
so...
I think the negative side of things is just that
you end up having something bad happen in your day
and ten thousand good things, you always end up
sleeping on the bad thing so...
those end up becoming the bad moments in your life, man
so, I can't tell you what the worst moment was but there were many
which player
which player do I...
think is the best of all times?
well, if we were to count CS
or CS 1.6
I think that neo is one of the best
neo and f0rest
I think they're two very big CS legends
but if you were to only count CS:GO
I think GeT_RiGhT had a really great period
in the beginning of CS
and I've also had some really great moments
and now...
we have s1mple
who's really tough as well
so if you count those periods as well
there's your answer
the best game?
against Astralis bro
16 to 2, we crushed them out there
we totally ruined them
we destroyed them, you know what I'm saying?
Like I said, my memory is really bad you know?
I had to get help from the college guys over here
but bro, our very best game this year...
was against Astralis at BLAST
it was BLAST Miami so
It was BLAST Miami?
Wasn't it?
I think it was BLAST Miami overpass
that we won 16 to 2 on those guys
and...
we spent a long time struggling to beat them
but we knew that at some point we'd get those guys
and that they would cave in
we won 16 to 2 and it was...
a really good game for us I think
and from now on
--I can't guarantee it--
but I think from now on
we're going to have a lot of good games against them, bro
so I think it was that one
