DeadFox: I was a support AWPer

HellRaisers managed to transfer their online form to LAN and picked up a win in their first match in Kiev, defeating FaZe 16-10 on Cache.

In the end, it was Bence "⁠DeadFox⁠" Böröcz—who seemed like the weakest player in the lineup in recent times—that stepped up and dominated the game with the sniper rifle. To find out more about his troubles, HellRaisers and the match against FaZe, we talked to the young Hungarian following the match.

After some bad results at the Major your team decided to go for a change of game style, from that period onwards it seemed that you personally struggled a bit, to adapt and to play well. What was the problem for you, was it the system or something else?

I was kind of a support AWPer, I was flashing, smoking, doing everything for the guys. But now, on this match, I decided to move everywhere on the map because I felt that I could kill them and I knew they were going to do. As a team, I guess we just needed time. We did a bootcamp, it was pretty good for us—I guess that's it.

While you were the more supportive player, what was the focus for your team, who was the player that was getting more of the roles, action, that was setup more?

It's ANGE1 probably. He likes to peek everything, goes through smokes, plays alone sometimes. But yeah, he's a good entry fragger.

What was your game plan going into the match vs. Faze, the mindset, what were you thinking about?

I think it's the same mindset, as always. The only thing I was thinking of doing is a move that I have, but I think they watched our demos so they countered me. But after that I started to move around the map and it was good. We just did our game, our rounds.

You had a rough start, they were 6-2 up, what changed after that, is there anything they were doing that you struggled to deal with?

The first is that we lost an anti-eco, that was the biggest thing. After that we lost a weapon round, so we had to eco again. After that, we did a tactical pause and we ground it out.

Regarding the anti-eco and the Deagles, FaZe won one round with them, but after that you seemed to be coping pretty well. Did you figure out a way to stop FaZe's deagles, seeing that is something a lot of teams are struggling with?

We were talking about that, how to play against them. We just played passive, kinda, and refraged each other.

You had a great map, you won the game, but moving forward, some people are skeptical if you can hold up this level you showed. What do you think is going to be necessary for you to continue performing like this?

Continue the good work, play our game I guess, not panic that much. If we are going to play against SK or any team we should play our own game.

Is there a team you would like to face next?

Any team I guess, we have no special teams we want to play against. We are here to win.
