In an interview at BLAST Porto, G2 Esports sniper r1nkle looked back on the previous match against Aurora Gaming, discussed his performance on the tier-one stage, and explained why he has started to play more aggressively in matches.
About the Inferno match
r1nkle: On this map, the momentum kept swinging back and forth between the two teams. I think our opponents played well, and in a few rounds they managed to disrupt our setup. At one stage, they put together a small comeback, but in the end we played really well on Inferno. Now we have three wins in a row on this map.
About Performance on the Front Line
r1nkle: I really enjoy it. I take this opportunity very seriously. After spending some time on the bench, I've put in a lot of hard work. I feel it's paying off, so I'll keep it up.
About Frequent Proactive Actions
r1nkle: It just happened naturally—that's my playstyle. I used to push forward a lot, then I stopped for a while, but now I'm back to that style.
