About the reasons for the defeat from 1win Team

I think we mainly lost because the second Roshan played poorly. This was one of the key moments of the game. Overall I'd say that's why we gave away the map, although I wouldn't count the first game that much.

About recovery after defeats

[ Is it difficult to emotionally reset after losses, especially since you only play one series a day and can have a lot of time to replay mistakes in your head? ] To be honest, we played last today, so it wasn't that hard to recover emotionally. We understood that the problem was the mistakes on the lines and the fact that we played poorly in the early stages of the game.

But when you play the last series of the day, you are in a state of anticipation all day: you think about what you need to play, that you need to be mentally prepared for this meeting. In a way, it even helps you recharge because you know that at a certain time you will have a match.

On the effect of waiting before a match on concentration

[ Is it difficult to stay focused when you have to stand by all day? ] Yes, a little difficult. It seems to me that if you play the first or second series of the day, you just wake up, realize that you have a match in a few hours, play it - and then you have the whole day to relax and unwind a little.
