RUSH on EG problems: “It’s hard to make every single person on this team comfortable”

Evil Geniuses player William “RUSH” Wierzba feels that his team’s major concern right now is the players’ psychological state. In an interview with Dust2.us, the American confessed that this is one of the reasons why EG is unable to turn around failed matches.

I think the biggest thing we have to do is just all be comfortable in our roles because I think we’re still finding it. We all know what we’re good at, but it’s hard to make every single person on this team comfortable, so some people have to make sacrifices, playing spots they might not normally play, and then that player has to win in that spot to a tee and that takes time. I think that’s slowly but surely happening in this team, people are getting more comfortable in the roles they might not have played in the past.

I think we’re just playing with a lot more confidence and trusting each other; not saying we didn’t have trust in each other in the first game, but I think that we were just very disjointed and I don’t think we were in the best mood. We had a huge reset after that, like a wake-up call for us. Even in EPL, we were just not in the best spirits and it felt like we were just kind of waiting to lose and just “let’s get this over with” even though we practiced so hard. All these results are definitely not a reflection of the practice we’ve been having, so I think it’s nice to show that the practice is translating now, in these current matches, but at the same time it’s still versus tier 2 competition.

American player also added, “I don’t think we have a team goal necessarily, but my personal goal is to make Legend status again at the Major.“
