GuardiaN: "EnVyUs feel like a gather"

In our next interview Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács talks about his recovery, coming into the event half-way through and Natus Vincere's playoff matches so far.

Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács came into the event after Natus Vincere got through groups without him, and he already put in a solid performance in the two matches he played so far at DreamHack Masters Malmö.

We grabbed the Slovakian for an interview about his recovery, TYLOO and Envy matches andwhether he feels on form after not playing since MLG Columbus:

Can see where he's coming from. Too bad that he didn't show up, still has to get back in form

it's true but also none of his business. Calling his team "higher skillwise" is also true but arrogant and unneccessary

As an opponent, I do not agree that is none of his business. btw even the commentators are criticizing the envyus and is exactly what guardian say.

You can't compare an interview with commentators, it's their job to comment on anything that happens, weather it's bad or good. Guardian is a player from the opposing team. I'm not saying that it's horribe sportsmanship or anything but he could have handled the situation better.

i dunno i really disagree with this. He's always been a very frank person and if anything it's not his job to be delicate with his thoughts. Its his job to play cs and win, not his job to think of the best way to talk about a struggling opponent. They interviewed him to get his thoughts and he gave them, and he gave them in the way he always has.

People like you are the reason they hand out participation rewards.. the reason freakazoid had to attend an antibullying seminar lmao. That thought process is soft as fuck and I would much rather hear a player speaking the truth than some canned fake response.

wow man, I even said that he only "could have handled the situation better"... If you disagree with that then we can stop talking right away. I used to play Handball on a very high level and when I had to give interviews, I didnt even th ink about calling the enemy team bad or my own team superior. It's just another factor that makes CSGO as unprofessional as it is ( besides all the hacking and the community)

LOL How watered down are you people? Saying his team is more skilled isn't shittalk, it's a statement. It's his opinion. How is this shittalk? Do people actually get offended over that? If I was EnvyUs and I heard that, I'd be motivated af to turn up and prove them wrong. It's competition. nt neutered

i don't understand what the shittalk was. he was asked his thoughts on the match and he replied that his team was more skilled in the match and envy just felt like a mix and not a true team. if you ask envy about it they'd probably say the same thing. people respond with these kind of statements all the time. its not like hes posting forums saying his team is more skilled than envy but was directly asked an in interview.

called dignitas amateurs called envyus behind them skill wise and no team spirit called NiP missing something because they dont have a dedicated sniper that can do damage. well i guess nip just proved you dont really need to have a dedicated sniper to win it all but it definitely helps a lot. Forest has been doin a good job tho and Pyth did a great job vs Guardian. He won most of their duels.
