GuardiaN: "EnVyUs feel like a gather"

17-4-2016 15:19

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:

You can find the rest of HLTV.org's videos by going to our YouTube channel here.

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

Unprofessional? Maybe. Truth? Definitely. They can't play a single map properly.

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.

2016-04-17 22:09

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)

is boxing/basketball/football(american)/mma unprofessional? talking shit is a part of every game/sport.. and what guardian said was hardly shit talk. envyus have been doing bad and look disorganized and that's a fact.

2016-04-18 17:03

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

2016-04-19 07:21

Hardly shit talk, I've been saying for ages that they all just play like braindead aimstars. Guardian isn't wrong

2016-04-17 23:39

it's not about weather he's right or wrong.

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.

2016-04-18 20:09

elaborate pls

He didn't have to, team did well without him going into a beast mode, so it's all good.

2016-04-17 15:35

19-15 against CLG is not "doing well". They were choking without him.

2016-04-17 19:06

The conversation is about NaVi-Envyus match.

2016-04-17 19:45

He kinda did show up , just that envyus did not always run into him

2016-04-17 15:36

Not like yesterday tho.

He's been there for all of the games he's played, what are you on about?

He hasn't been fully on point

He hit all the shots that counted, rarely missed any easy shots and had some next level flicks. Don't really see how one can say he's not in a good form.

2016-04-17 15:54

He has done better definitely, but I agree with you otherwise

He wasn't bad, he could have done better though.

LOL he called dignitas amateurs and said that Envy was behind them skillwise I guess it's all true tho

2016-04-17 16:02

he said "im not sure" really fast not amateurs,are you def?

2016-04-17 16:15

no I just cant understand him

2016-04-17 16:18

He's not deaf, just unintelligent.

2016-04-19 07:23

Wtf is that even supposed to mean

dont know if bait or no a gather, a mix

2016-04-17 16:51

Gather is not a word used in NA. Thanks.

2016-04-17 17:36

A gather? Wtf, is this used in broken English? Never once in my life have I heard it referred to as a gather. I understood what he meant, but you seem to be implying that it's not uncommon to hear. Interesting.

2016-04-19 07:24

Broken english, what? I think it makes sense as you gather 10 players like a 10 man and play. Maybe its not used in NA but its a very common word in EU CS

2016-04-19 14:10

Interesting :)

2016-04-20 02:48

"the mouse was like kind of big for me" "you know that feeling when you're not touching the mouse for a long time" LOL

funny af

2016-04-17 16:22

HAHAHAH a gather omfg this insult

2016-04-17 16:12

Not really, more like he's being honest instead of tip toeing around the fact that is very obvious for everyone that's followed the scene for a while.

2016-04-17 16:27

he's always been very frank, and most of the spectators/analysts feel the same way

2016-04-17 17:53

shots fired nV on fire now , Real fire :P

This Striker is one of the best guys for making interviews... Nix0n was the king for sure, but Striker is great too. Always interesting questions and his behaviour and professionalism are on top level. keep on dude! :)

2016-04-17 20:27

Before this i just hated Navi. For no reason. Now after watching this i actually have a valid reason for hating them.

2016-04-18 11:41

why?

2016-04-18 11:50

Cocky? I don't think they are tho

2016-04-18 15:47

i know a couple slovaks, and i dont mean to be stereotypic, but they were all kinda like this, just straight forward, but i dont think its meant to be rude. i think its cultural

2016-04-18 20:07

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.
