seang@res: "I love playing EU teams"

Misfits have locked down their first two matches at ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals and we caught up with Sean "seang@res" Gares to learn about his team's recent improvement and changes, and their win over North earlier today.

Misfits are currently 2-0 in Group B in Odense after the American-French squad defeated NRG 16-11 on Overpass and pulled off an upset over North on Cobblestone 16-9.

After their first two matches, Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares discussed various topics regarding the team's recent events, such as the Americas Minor where Misfits made the grand final and secured a spot at the Main Qualifier.

We naturally also quizzed him about the importance of ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals ahead of the next stage of the Major cycle, Misfits' improvement on Cobblestone and their win on it versus North.

I think he just loves good quality counter strike, that's why he prefers EU CS, unlike the unpredictable and undisiplined US CS.

well, he's right. Playing against a rubbish gamestyle on NA where it relies too much on raw skill makes strats hard to interpret and to counter. It is a compliment when he says that eu teams are more readable because of its way more structured gamestyle compared to NA

After Misfits lost to LG in the ECS Promotional tournament, is when we finally saw some significant improvements out of Misfits. Perfect time to peak for them. Hopefully it carries over to 2018

Yes, but EchoFox? With ryx, roca and freakazoid? At this time, G2 & VP were very strong, btw. Don’t forget this. And it’s in 2016. You can’t base a real analysis on bo1s with 2/5 of the lineup against 2 of the 5th best teams at that time.
