Video: Interview with kuben

After winning the quarter-final against Moscow Five, we talked with Jakub "kuben" Gurczyński from ESC Gaming about the match, making it through to the semi-final and much more.

ESC Gaming will for the second year in a row play SK Gaming in the semi-final at the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship. They got the right to do so by beating Moscow Five in the quarter-final. After the match we interviewed Jakub "kuben" Gurczyński, talking about how they almost threw the game away on the first map, going up against SK Gaming and if games like the semi-finals should belong on the main stage.
