In his latest interview, North American Complexity Gaming player Michael "Grim" Wince talked about how Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski`s transition has affected the team, as well as comparing games against North American and European teams.
Grim about ELIGE joining the roster:
For us, even just adding one new player, and especially one like ELIGE who knows a lot about the game and can bring a lot to the table, it takes some time to implement and add new concepts that we didn't have before. Everyone is getting used to it, understanding each other and learning how ELIGE wants to play and what he likes to do.
As a reminder, ELIGE joined Complexity in June 2023. Their first major tournament was BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023, where they placed 10-12th, but they have already won two qualifications for such championships:
And Grim also compared games against North American and European teams:
I'd say North America wasn't the worst. There were a lot of teams that gave us decent practice, like M80, EG, Wildcard, and even Nouns.
But when you get to Europe, you definitely notice your mistakes more because people penalize the gaps you leave open and don't really know about. So yeah, you definitely learn a lot more in Europe, but I don't want to discredit North American practice.
At the moment the team is waiting for the start of their matches in Group D at ESL Pro League Season 18 their first opponent will be the team 9INE, with which they will meet on September 20 at 17:00 Kyiv!
