Hobbit: "We Want to Take Revenge Against Liquid. This Time the Game Will Be Very Difficult"

Cloud9 rifler Abay Hobbit Khasenov answered questions about his expectations on the match with Liquid and which team he would like to play in the ESL Pro League grand final.

[On emotions in anticipation of the match against Liquid]
Of course, we want to take revenge. Lately, they have beaten us twice, and all this in important matches for us. Yes, the last meeting with them was not so important [in the EPL group stage], but we were striving for victory. This time the game will be very difficult. We will prepare for 100%.

[On who you would most like to play in the final]

It's hard to say, I respect every team in the other part of the bracket, but the most exciting matchup for everyone will be the match against NAVI itself, just because... I don't know. It's NAVI.

On the other hand, I would like to meet with G2 simply because we have not played against them for about a year. I miss it, and I like to play against them. There are mind games. On the other hand, I have friends from the Outsiders, so most of my heart goes out to them.
