Bignum on GL: “We are trying our best to show our best result - at least to reach the playoffs”

GamerLegion support Danil 'Bignum' Shekhovtsov spoke at the live broadcast of the Esports World Cup 2026 about the team's recent progress, and also compared LAN tournaments with online events.

[You played a lot of tournaments this year. Do you think this has affected your overall playing? Do you think that practicing against top teams did you any good? ] Yes. I would say that we are progressing from tournament to tournament. We are trying our best to show our best result - at least to reach the playoffs.

[ Do you prefer to play online tournaments or on LAN? ] To be honest, there aren't many online tournaments going on these days. Therefore, I probably feel more comfortable playing at LAN events. It's hard to compare because DreamLeague is sort of an online tournament, but the teams still play from a bootcamp.

[ This is true. But then you don't have to look your rivals in the eyes in the hotel. Isn't it better this way? ] I think, to be honest, there is no difference. The players don't really interact with each other anyway.

According to the results of the Esports World Cup 2026, GamerLegion took 17-20th place. You can familiarize yourself with the results of the last tournament in our material.
