"Hey! Before getting into esports, I just studied and in my free time, I played different shooters. Such as Battlefield. After the release of PUBG, I only played that. ”

1. — What does your nickname mean? Does it have a backstory?
2.  
3. — I don’t remember exactly, but I always played with this nickname and didn’t change it.
4.  
5. — Your first serious team was Team Empire. How did you get there?
6.  
7. — Snoopykx could not go with  GRUBIE to the LAN due to problems with the documents, so they decided to put together a team, which they invited me to. Then we signed a contract with Team Empire. It's quite simple.

1. — Why do you think you were invited to the team with  Bestoloch?
2.  
3. — We showed a good game in the Red Diamonds, but after that, the roster got disbanded. We were left without a team, so they invited us :)

— You will continue to perform in the PUBG Europe League as part of NAVI. Do you think it is necessary for the team to change the starting place of deployment?

— We’ll just loot free spots. In the new meta, the starting spot is not important, besides there should be several for several variants of the flight of the aircraft. We'll see everything at the Kick-off Cup!

1. — What are your general impressions of the first phase of PEL?
2.  

— I was very surprised by ENCE. I always thought they were a good team, but they played too well in this tournament. I think they also did not expect such a game from themselves. It's sad that G2 missed by just one point to qualify to the Faceit Major. With all due respect to  Winstrike, I generally liked the players and the whole game more on the side of  G2.

1. — What, in your opinion was the shortcomings from the previous NAVI lineup at the PEL?
2.  
3. — I don’t know what was going on inside of the team, but judging from the outside, they simply lacked an individual performance and confidence in their actions.
4.  
5. — Red Diamonds also failed to rise to the top of the standings. What's the case there?
6.  
7. — We have lots of reasons, both in-game and organizational. If you only consider in-game, then it feels like I played this tournament only with Bestoloch. 
8.  
9. — However, in the third season of the Unique League you managed to take first place, overtaking  NAVI in the last match. Do you remember that final match? At what point did you realize that you became champions?
10.  

— We knew that if we play well the last game and survive or shutdown AVANGAR, then we will have second place in our pocket. We did not think that we had overtaken NAVI until we saw the standings.

• — Everyone in a squad has his own weapon of choice. What do you usually play with?
  
•  

— M416 + MINI—14 — top 1 damage in PEL :)

1. — In PUBG, is it most important to hone individual skills or sharpening the teamwork?
2.  

— If you want to win tournaments and compete with tier-1-teams, you should have a good individual plays and the synergy in the team too. It does not happen that teams win without one or the other.

1. — Not so long ago we saw a reworked Erangel with an increased number of camps. How do you feel about the fact that game developers add more places for loot?
2.  

Negatively. There are enough places for loot, in the competitive PUBG couple of houses are enough to get geared. It would be great if the developers added more hideouts(stones, reliefs, trees).

1. — What is your favorite map?
2.  

Vikendi!

1. — What PUBG Corp. needs to do in order to develop faster the esports component of the game?
2.  
3. — This question has been out there from the moment the competitive PUBG has been developed. I think PUBG Corp. also trying to figure out the right answer to this very day. I hope they will find it and we will witness the formation of a new large discipline, like DOTA or CS:GO.
4.  
5. — Do you follow other disciplines in the esports scene?
6.  
7. — I used to follow CS:GO. But when I became a professional player myself, I began to devote all my free time only to PUBG.
8.
