After the roster shuffle of Tundra Esports’ first international tournament, Ivan shared his thoughts in an interview. The questionnaire included all the expectations, changes in professional scenes, and how Ivan feels about shifting to a new team. 

Expectations And Goals Of MinD_ContRoL 

Starting with the first question, the interviewer asked Ivan about his goals and expectations for the near future. Introducing himself, Ivan mentioned that this tournament might be their first, but it’s just an online cup for the team; even then, they are taking it seriously.

Ivan also mentioned that the team’s goal is to get in the top four, as it doesn’t matter for them to get in the top position at the moment. He added that getting in the top two would be enough, but the thing that matters is that they perform their best in those matches. As they are against some of the best teams in the world, how they manage is more important, according to MinD_ContRoL.

Transition Experience Of Ivan From Nigma To Tundra

The interviewer asked Ivan about his experience with this new team and how it feels to be here. Ivan answered that he misses his old team and their atmosphere, but this new team is completely different to him. He is trying to make friends with his new teammates, but these things take time.

He also mentioned that he missed getting into a new environment and meeting new people as he spent 8 long years with his old team of Liquid and Nigma combined. 

The interviewer asked him about his opinion on Valve removing DPC (Dota Pro Circuit) following TI. Ivan answered, saying that it was a good idea and would be even better if some more changes were made. For Ivan, DPC is just an online cup, and it’s a bit boring, as it takes a lot of time to play just a single match.

Ivan also added that he believes that the grouping concept is flawed and that even weaker teams should get a chance to be at the LAN (Local Area Network) events.

About Valve’s Decision To Ban All Smurfs

The interviewer asked Ivan for his thoughts on Valve’s decision to ban all smurfs, including professional players. MinD_ContRoL mentioned that he doesn’t care much about it, as players are going to find their way back to Smurfing. Ivan has also been away from Smurfs for years, so he is unable to relate with those who love Smurfing.

Ivan added to his statement that, in some matters, it is actually good as it will allow everyone to know about their opponents’ stats. It surely will reduce some Smurfers, but people can simply get another PC and continue with their games.

Teams MinD_ContRoL Would Like To Join

When asked which team Ivan would like to join for the dream league, he answered, “Team Spirit for sure.” Ivan showed an interest in playing with Spirit and also wants to go against the BetBoom team in the dream league, as they are the top-ranking teams. 

Another team MinD_ContRoL would like to join is Team Falcons (Champions of Dubai), but for that, Ivan would need to clear out the group stage. He also wants to play against teams Liquid, Extreme, and Azure Ray. 

Ivan also mentioned that playing with Topson is a great experience for him. As he didn’t know much about them before, playing with him lets Ivan know a lot about Topson. Ivan added that he respected the guy even before meeting him, and now his respect for Topson has only increased.

At the end of this Interview, MinD_ContRoL said to his opponents and fans, “Be ready; we are coming for you.”

Both players asked about the team’s chemistry at the event, and they said that the team’s chemistry must be good. They said that the event was enjoyable, which means people must get along with each other. 

KennyS said that players competing in this event have a lot of potential. A good player like Smooya gets destroyed, which means the opponents are tough in the competition. Also, KennyS sees great potential in the UK players and lauds Thomas and Cypher for their achievements.

Since KennyS has won IEMs, Pro Leagues, and Majors, he was asked if this event was too easy for him. He said if he can make a team, he will surely win easily. He said,  Smooya, who is a good player, was destroyed in the event because he didn’t have good players on his side.

When asked about views on the current state of CS2, KennyS said it needs some improvements and suggested including some left-handed weapons since he is a left-hander. RpK suggested including more rotation in the map pool and personalized skins.

When both players were asked whether they liked football, RpK left the question to KennyS to answer because he doesn’t like football. On the other hand, KennyS identified himself as a PSG supporter. When asked about the connection with the Falcons, KennyS remained silent because no announcement was made

Both players were asked about their future plans, KennyS said he wants to create his own content and grow bigger on YouTube and other social media platforms. RpK said he will focus on his car workshop because he is enjoying that.
