Legacy's sniper try said that after years of ups and downs, he truly cherishes the opportunity to prove his worth at the highest level.
This Argentine player averaged a 1.17 Rating, helping Legacy beat NiP and MIBR and lose to FaZe to advance from the EWC group stage.
This event in France is try's first tournament representing Legacy since taking over the AWP from saadzin. He is now preparing for his first playoff run at a Big Event since EPL S20 with Imperial nearly two years ago.
“I'm very happy,” he told HLTV after the match against MIBR. “The past few years have been really tough for me, playing tier-one events from time to time, but never consistently, and never a full season.”
“This is the first team that can give me a chance to prove myself on the top stage, and I am very happy to have the opportunity to return to tier-1.”
“I feel my level is improving little by little. I believe I haven't reached my peak yet. I'm working hard for it.”
Earlier this year, try joined Passion UA from Imperial, hoping to take the next step in his career, but the project fell apart within a few months.
He had other offers on hand, from other Brazilian teams and international projects, but it didn't take him long to decide where he was headed.
“I already knew latto and dumau [from 00NATION] and the staff,” he explained. “I just didn't know arT and n1ssim, but their level surprised me greatly.”
“arT is an excellent captain. I get along really well with him. He's very smart. I really like the team's playstyle that he's built.”
“In the end, it was a fairly easy choice for me.”
try hopes Legacy can help him achieve one of his biggest goals: winning an international title. Just three months ago, the Brazilian team beat Falcons in the final — who went on to win the IEM Cologne Major — to successfully defend their CAC title.
For try, joining Legacy, currently ranked eighth in the global VRS, comes at the perfect time, as in less than a year, Argentina will host the first-ever Major in Buenos Aires.
"I'm very excited about the Major in Buenos Aires," he said. "I never thought Buenos Aires would host a Major."
“I want to thank FiReSPORTS for making all of this happen. I also hope we can make it to the playoffs of this Major, that would be really cool.”
