KubiK: "Playing as underdogs helps"

27-2-2016 07:06

Following Vexed Gaming's victory over SK, we spoke with the team's coach Kuba 'KubiK' Kubiak.

Before the numerous unexpected victories in Groups C & D, the Poles of Vexed Gaming were the first to strike against the tide when they dispatched SK Gaming on de_train with a 16-10 score.

Following that victory we spoke with the team's coach, Kuba "⁠KubiK⁠" Kubiak, who had previously played on ALSEN before joining the Vexed roster as a coach alongside Karol "⁠repo⁠" Cybulski who joined as the team's fifth around the same time.

The interview was mostly conducted in English although we assisted KubiK with some tricky translations from Polish to English when it was required.

Upcoming interviews and other videos from the MLG Columbus Main Qualifier will be found over at our Youtube channel.

And then take their parents, and their parents' parents etc. Nationality has nothing to do with that, let's say my parents were born in a foreign country, lived till their 20s there and then came to France and had me for example. If I was born here and lived all my life, went to school, basically having all the experiences i've had here, that makes me french, not my parents' nationality, that's dumb.

his English is just fine, which you could hear if you watched the interview with Puckett after the game I told him we could edit the video so I think he just wanted to say everything correctly and was laidback, unfortunately afterwards I noticed the video would be boring without the in-between bits so I switched it up :)
