Ex6TenZ: "We will be strong"

Titan's players have commented on the recent roster changes in the team and what lies ahead for them in an interview with vakarm.net.

The French giants recently underwent a series of roster changes, with the team recruiting Hovik "⁠KQLY⁠" Tovmassian, Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire and Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez from LDLC.com.

The move came as a consequence of Titan's recent poor run of results, with a group exit at ESL one Cologne spelling the second time in a row the team failed to reach the playoffs in a major event.


Will the new Titan roster succeed? 

And while it is soon to judge the impact of these changes, things seem to be going in the right direction for Titan, who are topping ESEA's European division on a 7-1 record, while they lie in fourth position in the FACEIT League with six points from four matches.

Titan's players and team manager Jérome "NiaK" Sudries have now taken the time to comment on the recent roster changes, with the new players in the team explaining the reasons behind their decision to quit LDLC.com.

Below you can find a snippet of the interview:

"For sure sure we can’t always play with two snipers, and kennyS will be the main AWPer," said Kévin "Ex6TenZ" Droolans.

"KQLY has to work hard on rifling, and he might not be very performing right away. He has a lot of quality, he thinks about the interest of the team before all, he is mature, perseverant, and curious, is a good listener and is motivated…

"I have no doubt he will manage to adapt his style. In our our first practice he did not hesitate to point out the problems and asked us to adapt his placement for him to be more at ease.

"The advantage? We will be strong. The disadvantage? A lot of you will say I restrain my players."

ManiaC has always been good, just dem haters made him look bad. You cant really see any kind of fails from him, he is a good and cool-minded player, actually he only has to work on his aim. (btw in 2013 he was maybe the best player of LDLC, hitting crazy headshots and also being known as a very good clutch player)

Seriously, what's this bullshit with kennyS always get to be main AWPer? this isn't the first freaking time they push others aside to let him AWP, SmithZz had to "adapt" to rifling just aswell as KQLY have to now? KQLY has been showing way better results AWPing and honestly kennyS does a better job using rifles(over KQLY that is).

KQLY carried his team through ESWC, something kenny never actually at an event :D. Well, in the end, KQLY is not as good as kennyS when kenny is on fire, but he has a way better positionning and clever play. I don't think that kenny's rifle is better than kqly tho..

Dude, it will be like Na`Vi @ SLTV IX. Destroyed Titan, destroyed NiP. But then played worse and worse. Everyone shouted they were top1, but it was bullshit. DHSI was a fluke. They will fail anyway. They're failing already.
