Keyd Stars had a roller coaster of a DPC season.
Fortunately, the roster changes proved to be the right decision.
We had a chance to meet up with Guilherme “Costabile” Costabile before their playoff series began.
Their next series is the lower bracket elimination series.
How do you enjoy your stay here so far?
I quite like it here so far.
I like the cold, I like the atmosphere of the hotel.
I have not gone to the stadium yet, but I expect it will also be very good.
It’s very good to be back in tier 1 tournaments.
It’s been a while since I qualified for one of them, but it definitely feels very nice.
You are the first Brazilian team to make it out of the group stage.
How does it feel to be part of history, now that you made it to the playoffs?
It’s kind of a mixed feeling.
Of course, it feels good to make history, but it also … We are here to do our best and see how it happens.
Yeah, I think so.
I think we lost one game from Quest that we should have won.
What about the surprise that Quest didn’t make it?
Did you guys value them to be one of the favourites for this event?
So we knew Quest really well.
We played 10 scrims against them and I’m surprised they didn’t make it.
I’m pretty confident.
So I think the change for the team was actually necessary.
I think the BootCamp was really nice and was the right mentality for everyone.
How do you feel about boot camps?
Yeah definitely, I think the last TI I qualified with SG we had a two-month BootCamp.
So I think there is a time limit but it is definitely necessary.
How does it feel to be the best Brazilian team in a while?
I mean it feels good (smiles).
It’s kind of like a similar question as before.
It feels good, but it also feels bad because the Brazilian scene is just dying.
There are no new players
Or maybe WAS dying?
(raises eyebrows) It was… Brazilian teams were known for being the old dogs.
How do you like the implementation of the behavior score and what’s your behavior score?
My behaviour score is pretty high - 11 or 12k.
I think smurfs are very good for the most part for the community.
Now LD never gets in the draft for us.
We never get LD.
That’s the problem with Smurfs for pro players.
But excluding pro players, it’s very annoying for the other players of the game.
I mean, it’s a competitive game, right?
You want to win, you don’t want to just play the game.
It’s literally just like that so it doesn’t make much sense.
Did you ever get a Smurf account banned?
