The Danish captain implies that some Liquid players may need to take a hard look in the mirror.
Nearly six months after the collapse of Liquid’s ambitious project last year, Casper “cadiaN” Møller has spoken out about the criticism surrounding the team’s work ethic during his time as captain.
The discussion began when the Liquid rifler Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken voiced his frustrations in an interview with Pley.gg, stating that there was a “lack of work ethic” within the cadiaN-led squad.
– It was just not working inside or outside of the game, Twistzz further stated to Pley.
cadiaN responds
Now, in an interview with Retake Studio, cadiaN has addressed these remarks, offering a bit of perspective on the matter from his of the table.
– I think those who are the quickest to come out and comment on these matters might also be the ones who have a hard time looking themselves in the mirror regarding how they tried to solve the challenges within the project. I feel there are a lot of things happening within a team. There are many dynamics and small things that you can never truly go into detail about publicly. But I don’t want to throw stones at anyone, cadiaN said.
He continued:
– It’s clear that some players have a specific perspective, the team has another, and I may have an entirely different view of how everything unfolded.
– During my time in Liquid, there were players who needed everything to be completely systematized with everything written down to the smallest detail. That’s not the way I enjoy playing Counter-Strike.
“People can interpret that however they want”
During the interview, the current Astralis captain also defends his work ethic.
– I will say this: everyone who has played with me in HEROIC and now here in Astralis would never say that I don’t have an insane work ethic. That was almost part of the reason why everything fell apart in the old HEROIC—because I was always like “push, push, push.” But people can interpret that however they want, cadiaN concluded.
