GuardiaN: "NiKo can still be better, I think that one day he will break 50 frags"

The last match of the second day of the ECS Season 4 Finals saw FaZe pick up a dominant win over Cloud9. In a post-match chat featuring a guest interviewer, Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács talked about the SK rivalry and teams to look out for in 2018.

In Cancun, Mexico, FaZe once again took a victory over Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik and co., currently holding a 6-0 map record over the North American side. That win earned FaZe a place in the semi-final tomorrow, where they will once again face fnatic, who they defeated in the ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals playoffs.

Following FaZe's win, HLTV.org's last-minute stand-in talked to Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács about SK not being present at ECS, Robert "⁠RobbaN⁠" Dahlström not being at this event and Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač's 40-kill game.

So your succes is based on winning majors? Thats the most retarded thing Ive read today. Until Eleague Astralis/TSM had never won a major so they were a shit tier team even tho they were a consistent top 5 team in the world?

If you consider that I was actually silver, not smurf, it was quite hard. I'm not saying MM was harder in 2015, I'm just saying I was silver in 2015. Who the fuck are you to say it wasn't hard? If you were never silver, you've got no place to talk.

So you still have no place to talk, I'd been silver since 2014 and I was till the major VAC wave which let me go up into GN ranks and then MG ranks. If it takes you a bit over a week to get to MG from Silver 3, you're clearly not meant to be silver.

If one player is getting 50 frags the rest of the team is underperforming in a big way. In a perfect game everybody should get almost the same number of frags with a slight overweight to entryfraggers on CT.
