GPlay: "It'll be a lot harder vs. Na`Vi"

We caught up with GPlay ahead of their match against Natus Vincere at SLTV StarSeries XIII Finals.

GPlay opened up today's tournament with an upset win over EnVyUs, but their day will only get harder as their second opponent will be none other than home crowd favorites Natus Vincere.

We briefly talked to the Bulgarians about their chances in the match, namely Kamen "⁠bubble⁠" Kostadinov and team's manager Alexander "⁠ZinG⁠" Ananiev:

In light of your victory against EnVyUs, how do you go into the Na`Vi match?

ZinG: As I told to everyone in the team before, we have to forget the match against nV already.

Versus Na`Vi everything starts from the beginning for us. We must play our 100% game.

We will put in a lot of effort to win because in our last match against them we lost in a weird way, but today we'll do everything to finalize the game like we should have last time.

If you play like you did vs. nV will it be enough to beat Na`Vi?

No. Definitely not. Na`Vi are in their home, with their crowd, and it will be a lot harder for us.

What map would you like to play, what map do you think will give you the best chance to win? Last time it was close on Cobblestone?

Yea, Cobblestone maybe. Probably Dust2, because online we beat them very easy, as you know it was 16-1. But I think we will play Cobblestone.

GPlay will play against Natus Vincere after Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács & co. are done with their match against FlipSid3, while the Bulgarians have another match to play later today -- vs. HellRaisers.
