GuardiaN: Less mistakes will win final

2-10-2016 23:22

We talked to Na`Vi's Ladislav 'GuardiaN' Kovács about his team's victory over Liquid as well as the upcoming grand final of ESL One New York.

Despite going down in the first map to Liquid, CIS region team Natus Vincere rallied and won the series and advance to the final of the $250,000 event, with players Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev and Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev having strong performances.

Afterwards, we caught up with Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács of the team to ask him a few questions about the Liquid match, the grand final, and the new update and pause rules that are in effect in New York.

You will be able to find all of our interviews from ESL One New York on our YouTube channel here.

Guess that means Navi will lose because they make 100 mistakes every round.

I could imagine from this title that Guardian just answers every question with default and not very ensightful statements, which is what he usually does. Not a big deal ofc
