ShahZaM: "Aware of [our mistakes]"

Up next on the list of video interviews is Cloud9's latest addition, Shahzeb "ShahZaM" Khan, talking about the team's unsuccessful journey at ESL One Katowice 2015 and the state of the North American scene.

Cloud9 managed to beat TSM in their Nuke opener despite the Danes getting a 13-2 lead, but then they couldn't come up with an answer to Virtus.pro's Inferno.

TSM then took revenge on them in the second place decider of group D, which saw Cloud9 going out of group stage for the second time in a row at a major.

The team's latest addition, Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan explained what went wrong on their side in those two matches, and shed some light on more topics, including the current state of the North American scene and the team's future.

The next interview should be with the other American team of the tournament, CLG, whose Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney touched on various subjects surrounding the ESL One Katowice major and more.

I hope I am not alone about saying that Semphis was their worst player if you listened to their comms. He basically bullied ShaZaM into playing bad, because ShaZaM seemed scared of making Semphis angry... Sgares was trying to call, but semphis had these ridiculous impulses that made Sgares question his calls. n0thing never payed attention, and he made that the comms was being spammed by the same call over and over again. "Spoolspoolsposlllsposospolsosposl" Shroud was good

Agree 100% his English has never improved and his interviews are always without structure. Results in the person being interviewed looking very confused a lot of time and just awkward
