Akuma player after beating NAVI: Perhaps they underestimated us
Sergey “Sergiz” Atamanchuk spoke with HLTV.org after him and company pulled one of the biggest upsets.
Akuma’s Sergey “Sergiz” Atamanchuk still can’t believe that him and his team managed to pull one of the biggest upsets in EPIC League CIS as they dismantled NAVI and sent them down to the lower bracket of the tournament.
“The emotions are unreal. You watch a team play at every event and here you are, beating them. You cannot describe it,” the Ukrainian told HLTV. “We didn’t expect to be able to win Mirage by such a scoreline. For some reason, NAVI weren’t fully focused or something, and they were losing important duels. Perhaps they underestimated us. As for us, we wanted to prove to ourselves that we could stand up to such a serious opponent because we were playing well in practice against tier-one teams and we wanted to see if we could do the same in official matches.”
