CYpheR - on the tournament and future plans
After the Quake Pro League Stage 1 LAN finals, we interviewed Alexey “cYpheR” Yanushevsky, who in the tournament. Alexey shared his impressions of the competition, and also compared Quake Champions and Apex Legends.


The tournament as a whole was not bad. There were different little things, nuances, but insignificant, so I'm rating it about six out of ten :)


The first visit to this cathedral was a bit uncomfortable and strange. Now it makes no difference since this is my fifth visit to this place.



The matchup was really not in my favor, but I had a certain idea of how I can win. Unfortunately, the quality of execution was questionable :)


It depends on the map and the matchup, but in general, the first kills determines the dynamic of the further game. Sometimes the first frag does not solve anything, because you can be left completely without a stack, and the opponent spawn on another part of the map with the advantage. It's a hit or miss :)



He just outplayed me. I did not act smart enough to counter his game. I'm not very good at playing my own game with him at all.



I was surprised by my own result, I thought I would get sent home by GaRpY. Fortunately, I played well till the semifinals. Anton is a cool dude, unlimited respect for him. He struggled during training at the tournament, but in official matches, he turned up.


I will do my best to win the next LAN finals. The main thing is to work on the mistakes.


The priority is to be one with the team and help the team solve all the related problems. In my free time, I will try not to lose shape in Quake.


The dynamics are a bit similar, but since they are two completely different worlds, I’m not quite sure. Quake is an old-school hardcore game in which you can be very good if you have devoted many years to it. Apex Legends is a young discipline and pretty much for the casual audience. In general, it’s hard to say, there are always talents who prove incredible things.


Burth the Clutch :)


I want to practice Clutch :)
