It's been a pretty good run with M80, having joined recently from NRG. You haven't been seriously challenged here at FRAG, but there have been some good results in the early days, topping the EPL qualifier. How have things been so far with M80?

Pretty good so far, we've only had a few practice days. You can also argue that matches are better practice. So, it's been good. dephh just joined us; he wasn't there for the first few practices because he had a wedding. It's nice getting his input on things, and it's been fun so far.

It seems like things happened really quickly in the NA shuffle. What are your thoughts about being benched on NRG?

I can't fault them for it. The reason I was told, which I agree with, was that there were too many anchors and we needed more rotators. I said that a few months before, I agree with them, and didn't hate them for it. It is what it is. I got the M80 offer the same day, so I'm fine with it.

So, you accepted the M80 offer pretty quickly. Were there other offers on the table? What ultimately led you to choose M80 if there were other options available?

I would've chosen M80 regardless because of the players on the team. I've known a few of them for a long time, and I know that my personality would fit well with them. I would get the roles I wanted as well so there was no other team to pick.

This is a fresh start for you. This NRG roster was a continuation of a project that you've been a part of all the way back to RBG in 2019. Players were replaced over time but there was a level of continuity. With this M80 roster, you've never played with any of these guys before. What's it like for you to have a truly fresh start?

Like you said, I never played with these guys, so I don't know what to expect, whereas on the other teams I always knew what to expect because I've played with everybody on those teams before. It's very interesting, honestly, I'm really enjoying it so far.

Last FRAG event in Vegas, we saw a European team win the event, which was a morally wrong, disgusting, and awful moment. Do you think M80's a team that can defend NA's honor and win Fragadelphia this weekend?

Even though we have limited practice, I have zero doubts that we can't win this.
