Chopper About w0nderful: "He Will Definitely Be a Tier-1 Player"

I think the game against FaZe Clan in the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022 was good. We played with the new line-up against the top 1 team in the world and showed that we could outplay them in shooting and some decisions. For me, this is a good indicator that we can fight with such teams. We can win. It just takes time.

Vishnyakov summed up the results of the performance of the updated line-up and separately of the team's newcomer.

I liked how we spent this time together. I liked the focus on training, the atmosphere, and our shape. Almost everything worked. There were three practices on Ancient before the tournament. As a result, we have been playing it since the first meeting - and quite confidently. This is an indicator that there is good potential and a lot of work needs to be done.
This tournament is successful for us at the moment, and if we draw conclusions and do them, we can be stronger. And it is true. W0nderful showed unrealistic potential, in my opinion. He will definitely be a tier-1 player, in the top five snipers in the world for sure. This is a very strong guy.
