Hoxxi shared after the defeat of Furia: "We lost the whole platform - and that is unacceptable"
CS208-06 22:11
The fact that Rasmus "Hoxy" Nielsen joined Astralis was originally just a temporary solution, but quickly became one of the most stable and most noticeable relationships in the current CS village. After reaching the final of the Astona and Fissure Playground 1, the Danish team began to be more serious. On the eve of the Blast Bounty tournament, Hoxxi had an interview with Blast, sharing about the adaptation process, personal goals and the difficulties that the collective was facing.
About the feet at Cologne
The initial success with Astralis was what made Hoxy feel positive:
"I was really surprised with our performance in Astana. As for the results in Fissure, I probably didn't make anyone too surprised. Speaking gently, I felt very disappointed with the performance in Cologne."
At IEM Cologne, Astralis was eliminated from the second round, ending the tournament in the final position. Although not too worried, Hoxy still does not hide the disappointment:
"Worrying may not be suitable, but I was really angry because we did not show what I knew that the team could do. I said this in every interview: I was not too concerned about the results, but we had to show well whenever I had a chance, to constantly improve. And in the final match at Cologne, we did not do it - it still made me uncomfortable."
The losses "become ashamed"
Astralis sometimes still has legs - like before Typo and Furia. And Hoxy without excuses:
“I think it is two very different matches, and the reason for losing is also different. Before Typo, we have difficulty catching up with their personal situations - what we need to improve to be stronger in terms of personal skills.
Before Furia - at least in the second match - I felt like the whole team did not enter, and all of our tactical platforms disappeared. To be honest, it was unacceptable, like a slap in the face. If you lose focus on the competition day ... it will become ashamed.
Why is it not clear. But I'm sure it won't repeat. ”
