B1ad3: "sdy is not familiar with the NAVI system and needs to adapt"
/B1ad3, who is NaVi 's head coach, shared his thoughts on sdy's game. In an interview for representatives of the HLTV portal, the 35-year-old Ukrainian specialist also shared his thoughts on preparing his team for BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022.
So far, he's performing well. He makes a lot of mistakes, but that's expected and normal. We evaluate the game not by mistakes, as they cannot characterize the player and reflect his potential. sdy is not familiar with the NAVI system and must adapt. He is a good guy who tries to act smart. I like it when people try to play like that.
During the conversation, B1ad3 also spoke about NAVI's spot preparation on certain maps, highlighting Inferno, where the team had previously shown unstable results.
We worked a lot on Inferno before this tournament. We knew that this is a difficult map with a very difficult section on the "banana". We worked a lot on our game at this point and even played against each other 3 on 3, quickly taking the "banana". We devoted a lot of time to this.
NAVI always claims trophies and gets upset if they lose. Even if we play as a stand-in and lose to OG in the first match of the tournament, which is absolutely normal, I still get very upset. Our team is ambitious and has very high standards.
Currently, NAVI is preparing for the semi-final match against OG. Recall that the day before, "Born to Win" defeated FaZe Clan with a score of 2:0.
