MMA spoke about the results of NAVI

NAVI Brawl Stars player, Petr "MMA" Pomortsev commented on the team's results at recent tournaments. Read about the and finals, as well as the qualifiers in this interview.

You finished second in the Brawl Stars Championship 2021 and BrawlMSTRS Spring 2021 monthly finals. What was missing to take the victory in these tournaments? After all, NAVI was undefeated at BSC.

Petr «MMA» Pomortsev

In the matches of BrawlMSTRS Spring 2021, I think we just didn't have enough energy anymore. After 4-5 hours of playing and two matches in all five sets against the best teams in Europe, we didn't have the energy left for the final. I would say that's the main reason.

As for the other championship, I would highlight the following: the nervousness and pressure affect us, we didn't like we usually do. We'll work on this problem and come back stronger!

The commentators on BSC said that the match between

NAVI and

CraZe Clan is an "el classico". Why do they call it that? Do you have a long history against them?

Petr «MMA» Pomortsev

We've faced this team a lot, but I wouldn't call this "el classico."

What does the team do after such a frustrating defeat? Do you sort out your mistakes or do you give yourself a little rest?

Petr «MMA» Pomortsev

Yes, of course, we take a break. Then, when we're a little more detached, we reconsider nuances, mistakes, and discuss what needs to be fixed.

You also recently achieved a slot in the main stage of the ESL Mobile Challenge 2021 Spring: EU-MENA. What do you think of the map rotation in qualifiers? Would you change anything?

Petr «MMA» Pomortsev

Qualifiers were fun, but not in every way. We dropped to the bottom bracket, which was full of teams who wanted to make it to the final qualifiers because you're already guaranteed to get some good money. The toughest thing here is the bo3 matches. These are very short and risky fights, where you can be knocked off before you even know it. But we made it work, and the final match against the European competition. Top 5 Europe F/A Trio already went 3 : 0 in a bo5 match.

Which CIS teams can you highlight? Which teams are the strongest at the moment?

Petr «MMA» Pomortsev

In the CIS I would highlight the Containers. It is a shame that team LaLYoU, didn't make it, they were good, but something hasn't been working out lately. Teams F/A Kozaki, Unima Gaming. Well, and of course there are a lot of new teams in the shadows and without notable names that are showing good games. I hope they will practice even more and also represent the CIS scene with dignity and not only in CIS tournaments.

What about teams from Europe?

Petr «MMA» Pomortsev

SK, Qlash, ХО, Tribe Gaming, F/A Trio — these are Europe's top five. Not just in terms of points, these are really the strongest European teams. There are still a lot of talented guys who play outside the box, draft unusual picks, and are generally good rosters. But the most basic and consistently tough guys are the ones I mentioned above.

New matches of the Born to Win begin on June 15th as the ESL Mobile Challenge 2021 Spring playoffs kicks off. Don't miss it! #navination
