KC Caliste on the team's mentality heading into Summer: "We can't lose that confidence — we have to keep snowballing it"

A lot of fans came out, they gave so much voice, so much energy, and they had so much hope in us. So we're really sorry — we don't really have the words to say how sorry we are.

In-game — don't you think there was anything specific that lost it, you really think it was a global thing?

It's a bit hard to say like this, because I haven't had time to review the games yet. We'll do a debrief and look at them to be sure we come back stronger, learn from our mistakes and from why they were so strong. Right now, off the cuff, I honestly think it's everything together. Their teamplay was really good, individually every player was really sharp, and they made good, very fast plays — you really had to be well prepared.

What's your assessment of this whole international campaign for KC, and what do you take from it as a team for the rest of the year?

What I take from it is that, as a team, we can be a really, really good team if we adapt well to the meta. Each player just has to listen to himself individually, trust what he thinks is best for him. Everyone has to trust themselves. I think we can really be a very, very good team — we managed to show it at the EWC.

We just can't lose that confidence — we have to keep snowballing it, keep this momentum going.

I think we can be a good team, and we can't let it get us down.

Do you think it's better for it to go this way than the other — G2's way? Meaning a strong MSI and a weaker EWC?

Honestly, I don't know, it's hard to say. The most important thing is that we managed to put in a good performance at one of the two tournaments. That's really the most important thing — it's what we needed to head into Summer with good guidance, good lessons, a bit of confidence. That's really what we needed, because at MSI we didn't perform well and we felt we could do better. So the fact that we did better at this EWC, despite the grand final loss — take away the grand final, and we're all happy with our tournament, individually and as a team. We have to remember that too.

Just to finish, do you know the program for what's next? You play again in five days — will you get to rest at all in between, or not?

Clearly, the next focus is the roadtrip, the start of Summer. We'll probably play the three best teams, if they pick us. There won't be any rest time, and there'll probably be content in between too, so we won't really have time to rest — that's just how it is, nothing we can do, it's competition. So it'll be a very important focus on those first three BOs. The most important thing will be to grab wins for good seeding — seeding will matter for Worlds. So honestly, it'll just be about giving it everything, really pushing to the limit, pushing ourselves, to put in a good performance in front of our fans and take some good wins.
