Xizt: "We've learned how [nV] play"

We talked to Richard "Xizt" Landström about NiP's three-map quadruple-overtime thriller versus EnVyUs that happened earlier in the following video interview.

NiP's start to the tournament couldn't have been better for the Swedes, as well as spectators, who got to see a total of 122 rounds between NiP and EnVyUs thanks to a quadruple-mr5-overtime on map two, de_dust2.

In the following video interview, Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström touches on making changes going up against EnVyUs once again, map veto, NiP's ability to adapt throughout the four overtimes and lastly what the form of each team at CCS Finals looks like.

Tomorrow the action continues, first with the much-anticipated lower bracket final of fnatic and EnVyUs, followed up by TSM and NiP in the upper final and towards the end of the day, we will get to see the consolidation final.

There are many ways to get lucky, especially in CS:GO.You do understand that luck has millions of variations do you? You can also get lucky about the mistakes the other team does. Think out of the box kid.

Why everybody so mad? The last few times they played against nv they got rekt like shit. (16 - 3 ..) Now they manage to win a lan bo3, even if it was close as fuck they definitely studied nvs playstyle a lot and apparently it worked. So they learned how nv played.
