Hey, I'm Aleš and right now at the start of the video, I want to apologize for this video coming out so late.
It's because this episode is a little more special, because we are at the Czech eSports Championship, taking place in Brno.
We will talk about everything from October in a little different way.
Also, at the end of the episode, we will be giving away this ROG Sica mouse, thanks to our sponsor Republic of Gamers!
However, that will be later on, let's head onto the news.
Before we began talking in a little different way, we will talk about Rocket League.
Logically, they didn't attend Czech eSports Championship, because Rocket League wasn't part of it.
One week before the Czech & Slovakian Championship, we had a bootcamp and everything seemed fine, however, it came out as the exact oppossite.
First, we needed to defeat team Sampi.
We didn't win one single game against them, our opponents played a much quicker game than us.
Because of that, we found ourselves in the losers bracket and had to face ex-Majestic Lions.
That was something else.
We were dominating most of the time and won 4-1.
Team Sampi also sent Inae to us in the losers bracket.
We managed to win the first game, but then all hell broke loose.
We couldn't read their game and lost easy opportunities.
It was pretty close the whole way through, but luck wasn't on our side.
We lost 4-1 to Inae, and therefore finished 3rd in the Czech & Slovakian Championship.
After this tournament, Noily decided to temporarily leave from competing.
We are, at the moment, without third player in the team.
We are trying out different players, playing some ESL and Gfinity tournaments.
I'm certainly hyped up for what's coming.
Now it's time to talk about National Championship and interview our PUBG team about their form in October.
I've got Elwzoy and Pablitos here with me.
Now I'd like to ask you, I know you were playing at Y-Games, which was essentially Slovakian Championship.
How was the tournament, how well did you finish?
Well, we finished second at Y-Games.
It had the best of 10 format, 10 games split into 2 days.
After the first games, we were actually first by quite some margin.
Unfortunately, Day 1 ended and although we were still first, we lost that big lead we had.
Day 2 was a little worse, we fell into second place and we started losing to Alza, the team that surpassed us in the standings.
Fortunately, in the second to last game, Alza failed to make any impact on the game, and because we won that one, we were pretty much leveled with Alza.
The last game was the deciding one, but it was Miramar, and we know our Miramar isn't good, we finished #14.
We lost the chance to win the tournament, 2nd place was ours.
I'd like to know what's behind you and Miramar, why is it so bad?
I think it's not really Miramar's fault, it's more like that we don't really know how to rotate there.
It's always quite chaotic, nobody knows where we're going.
It's the map knowledge that bites us, because nobody from our team really likes the map, we don't play it.
Erangel is much better, everybody knows where we're going, everybody knows how it looks in there.
On Miramar, you go somewhere and you hope it's going to be good.
You are playing as a team for quite a while now, I think you were saying it's over a year now.
Now you are under ROG.eXtatus, and this was your first LAN event under the organisation.
I know you are quite an experienced player, also Pablitos has experience in competitive gaming, but Wany and Arsho don't.
How were they and how were you, was it okay?
It was pretty much the first LAN event in Czech or Slovakia, also right before the event eXtatus announced we are joining them, so it was the time to shine.
Like you said, it was the first LAN event for Wany and Arsho, but I personally didn't feel nervosity on them.
I felt like we played the same game as online, so they played good.
Now we will focus on the qualifiers, there were 2 of them, how did you do?
The first qualifier we attended was Amateur Series by Starladder.
We managed to fight our way through the first round and now we're waiting for the second round of the qualifier to be announced and played.
Our primary goal was to qualify to the Czech Championship.
There were 4 qualifiers and we attended all of them, but in the end we managed to qualify in the third one.
We didn't have to play the fourth qualifier, and to be honest, it was quite hard.
You can tell that when there is something at stake, all the Czech teams can play pretty well and put up a hell of a performance.
It was certainly a challenge for us, but we are happy that we went through.
Now it's time for our new Counter-Strike team!
I've got luko and desty with me here.
Now I will ask these lads a few questions about October at eXtatus.
After making the move to ROG.eXtatus in September, you participated in Fortuna COOL League, how was it?
The second COOL League was fine, we lost a couple of matches, but we fought our way into play-off.
In the play-off stage, however, we lost the first match 0-2, after which we got ourselves into the final of losers bracket, where we lost again, we got third place.
You also played at Y-Games, which teams did you meet, how were your matches going?
Except for Majestic Lions, we didn't have much problem with the group stage.
In the end, Majestic Lions were the favourites of the group.
It was going fine in the groups, but then we played the last match against Majestic Lions, which we lost by quite some margin.
In the play-offs, we had to face a mix team in the first round, but then eSuba came around.
They defeated us quite hard aswell.
In the lower bracket, we eventually lost to eEriness.
What was the game against eEriness like, how was it in your opinion?
At the start if was fine, but then eEriness started to slowly outplay us.
In different situations, we didn't know how to react quickly enough and we didn't know how to play against their game.
We basically lost by miles.
Did that loss mean something to you, what did you do to prepare better for the upcoming Czech Championship?
At Y-Games, we expected a much higher placing in the end, to be honest.
Finishing 9th-12th was quite a hit for us.
Afterwards, we tried to look at everything wrong, we thought about the games we played.
We are trying to fix all the issues at the moment.
The Czech Championship was the next event for you guys, but first you had to qualify, how was that?
We played the Last Call, where we didn't lose any of the maps.
So that was going quite smoothly.
Did you have to prepare for the event after qualifying for it?
We had a 4-day bootcamp in eXtatus' Brno headquarters, where we played quite a lot of practice matches.
Dodi was also showing us some nice tactics here and there.
Was having a bootcamp any different to playing online, is it better or worse?
Bootcamps are great, it's a great thing, you have all the people around you.
Nobody is on Facebook or YouTube, all the focus lies in the game.
You all get around one computer and show yourselves many things, or you can have someone draw some tactics.
You explain things a lot quicker and clearer than if you're at home.
In my opinion, the bootcamp was great.
Just like I promised, there's a giveaway for ROG Sica from our general sponsor, Republic of Gamers.
To win this mouse, you have to guess in which year, in which game and with which team roster we won our first gold medal at Czech Championship.
Write your answers in the comments down below and I will later randomly pick one of the right answers.
Choosing the winner will be done next month, in the next What Is Going On.
Good luck, see you next month!
