Yes, When I had to replace Kabal...

Well before that, I was quite anxious because of having to juggle between studying and pursuing CSGO.

I had to choose one in the end and it had to be stuyding back then.

So when the time came for me to replace Kabbie, I've had graduated from my school.

After that, I was at home and was mentally comfortable with everything

Told myself that 'I'm ready to go for the kill'

About the fans' feedback, I do read them and read them all

At first, well just up to recently, it felt like a pressure

But now I pretty much ignore the negativity

Thought to myself that once I get there, I can expect these kind of things

Happens in every sport

Qualifying stages for ESL Pro League and IEM Brazil right?

Ah, well I don't think I played well enough for them

Couldn't communicate well enough with my team

Felt like I've just joined a new team, had a weird feeling

Probably because I haven't played much prior to it

Was just constantly studying at home and couldn't come to the boot camp

Then, just all of a sudden they told me 'Kabal is taking a break' and they called me

Before we arrive to Katowice, I wasn't really nervous

My thought was that 'I'm going to show them when I come!'

Well you know, because its my first big International Lan Event, there was of course some nervous feelings

I tried to hide those feelings as much as I could

After arriving at Katowice, I wasn't really nervous

The only nervousness was when we were facing against Furia

During Map 2, I felt like I screwed the team and thought to myself 'What if we lose because of me?'

I haven't encountered much duels throughout the map and at the end there was silly mistakes from me in Mid area

Then ended us losing Map 2

They had a strong comeback against us

To play against the Top Tier teams,

Well, our team's playstyle has lots of Tier 1 elements and we use mostly Tier 1 tactics

When we played against 'Pain Gaming'... there really wasn't any pressure

When we won against 'Pain Gaming', it was as if we won against our usual opponents

After we won against 'Pain Gaming', Maaraa (Coach) told us:

" They won against Furia recently. Furia shouldn't be too difficult "

After that, we all felt confident about defeating 'Furia' and we won

But I can confirm that I was indeed nervous during match against 'Furia'. Everything else was fine

We had lots of chance to close out the game during both games

One was against 'Liquid' and should've won in Bo3. And was quite unlucky on Map 1 and lost that 5v3 when 'Nitro' got that quad kill

Our thought was that of 'We will win against Liquid'

When we won against 'Furia' during Play-In stage and got to Group stage, there really wasn't any pressure. We both had similar playstyle

You know they had this mentality that we were 'Underdog' and we played with confidence, thinking that they had more pressure than us

Against 'Liquid' because of that one mistake, we lost the match

Against 'Faze', during the first map... we should've won really

During first map, there was some crucial rounds. And I gave them free kills on two important rounds

Then we lost a force round and I think that's why we lost

And the loss on 'Ancient' after that was mostly because we lost the mental game

Mmm well, Bart4k before Katowice and Bart4k after Katowice?

I don't think there's any difference

Well I usually, when people think about nervousness, I tend to focus on keeping that feeling down

Of course now that I've went and played on that kind of level, I think I might be bit different

When it comes to mentality, I think I can trust my feelings more during the game and can follow them

Maybe Bart4k before wasn't ready to do that

It's not any pressure for me personally. Some people can understand it in their own way

I believe they write those things when I really did have bad performance

But then again, Kabbie is a whole different person

My future accomplishment is different to his. No one knows what may happen

I think its trying to compare two completely different people

Personally for me, the most important tournament is coming. But after playing at Katowice, I thought to myself:

'No need to feel any pressure'.

Kabbie has already made two Majors possible. There is no need for me to put that pressure on myself. Who knows if it will happen or not?

I believe its like an already drawn path on painting

For now, I will strive myself. Feelings, trust those feelings during crucial moments and be able to execute them well. I think if I can do that then it'll be all right

Well, the Asian RMR is happening soon in few days

When it comes to Team preparation, I believe each individual has their own preparation completed.

I think our last result has shown us just how well we prepared and practised for it

We are already invited for Asian Closed Qualifier

For Valve Regional Ranking, four teams are invited to Closed Qualifier

I think when I saw, they were 'Team NKT', 'Eruption' and 'Team Renewal'

On top of that, there will be four more teams joining from Open Qualifiers

And then in general I think it'll end up being the usual Mongolian top teams competing

Just before we attended Katowice, we were playing qualifiers for IEM Brasil 2023. And it was some Asian scrims with team 'Eruption'

After that, we haven't really practised much

It was lot more practises and scrims with European teams before we attended Katowice

Not sure how well the performance is

Well, we knew about the Asian RMR happening in Mongolia before the announcement

The feelings are good and of course the biggest factor is that its happening in our home country

Advantages of being home country is, at least we won't have to travel through lots of hours.

And of course the jet lag that follows after that

Because of that, we usually have to arrive a day or two before the event to adjust ourselves to timezones

Being in my home country will eliminate all those problems for us and we won't have any physical body strains

From other regions within Asia-Pacific and its hard to say who from 'China', I think it'll be 'Tyloo' and 'Rare Atom' or it might be 'Lynn Vision'

And from Middle-Eestern region, recently 'Invictus Gaming' has gone International, so I think its them

And probably 'NASR Esport' as well

From Oceanic region, 'Greyhound' and 'Rooster' will most likely end up qualifying

Those two teams are the most stables and standard teams that qualifies

In general, as a Mongolian myself, I wish that two Mongolian teams could qualify for the upcoming Major

But of course it will depend on how much those teams were practised and prepared and how well they could perform on the day for the qualifying matches

In the end I wish two Mongolian teams could qualify for the Major

Ok, well for our team, when Kabal was announced that he was taking a break and Bart4k is coming with us on full time basis...

... there were comments from people about it.

About that, I'd like to say:

'Its because those two are two completely different people with vastly different playstyle and characteristics. They have their own way of playing'

I think its pointless to compare these two people

For each of their own really. If they can perform well on their ways and style and it leds to us getting more victories. I think it doesn't matter who we have on our team.

We've just attended IEM Katowice 2023 and won against Tier 1 teams.

Because of that I can personally say that I believe in those individuals
