POKAMOLODOY — on PEL results, PUBG updates and the upcoming World Cup

From November 8, the NAVI.GG.BET team willfight in the PUBG Global Championship 2019, which will be held in the United States. Before the start of the tournament, we discussed with Vadim “POKAMOLODOY” Ulshin the concluded phase of the PUBG Europe League and the results ofNAVI, as well as learned about the immediate plans of the squad.

You completed this phase in fourth place. Can you briefly evaluate your game during all weeks?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

, , ,

Yes, we finished the phase in fourth place and for the first five weeks, we played consistently, confidently holding the top 3 positions. I guess we didn't have enough strength. We have been playing for six months in the League in Berlin (more than 250 matches).

Did you spend time practicing on the map Sanhok?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

The announcement of the new map was shortly before the start of the phase itself, it came as a surprise. We played about 20 games in practice matches, but that is not enough. There were no more practices on that map.

Have you ever thought about getting a coach or analyst? Who would be the right person to fill that position?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

We have thought about it, there are very few people in CIS scene who'd fit that role. We're thinking about it.

Some teams performed quite strongly in the third phase, for example, the updated CrowCrowd or N47. Was it hard for you to fight these squads? Will they give the rest of the regions a fight at the PGC?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

Of these two teams, only CrowCrowd is going tothe PGC, at the distance they have gained a good form. Whether they will pick up a fight — I don’t know, we'll see.

What did you do in your free time in Berlin? Did you have time to go out, maybe some concerts or cafes?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

Sometimes we'd go outside, very rarely. Only PUBG for six weeks: D

Has PUBG Corp. started to listen to the opinion of the players, or are their actions still dependent on them?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

Rather no than yes.

Would you like to play PGC on the new Erangel? Can you point out the strengths and weaknesses of this map?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

No, not enough practices on this map, it's very different from the classic one. Plus this year we aimed to play on the classic Erangel at the PGC.

The September update added a DBS shotgun to airdrop. Have you had it? What can you say about its characteristics and usefulness in the game?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

I have gotten it, do not take it, unless you really a very fun person in this game: D

Are you satisfied with how the game develops? Fortnite, for example, is updated almost every week. Would such an approach to updates in PUBG be suitable?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

This approach was at the very beginning of the existence of PUBG, with practical updates every two weeks, but they failed to do so. As a result, the new Erangel is one of the most recent good updates.

Are you planning on going to bootcamp before going to America for PGC, or will you practice online?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

Around the 25th, we are going to the bootcamp in Moscow for about 10 days. We'll take a closer look at the teams that advanced to PGC, plus the practice matches, plus the individual game.

What will you do before practice begins? Do you have any thoughts about the vacation?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

I play mostly regular public games with a stream, and about the vacation - it's probably after the PGC.

What things (gadgets, clothes, etc.) did you miss the most in Berlin?

Vadim "POKAMOLODOY" Ulshin

NAVI.PUBG player

There was no such thing :)
