Lotan “Spinx” Giladi spoke to HLTV after the loss to Spirit, admitting that MOUZ were far from their best at BLAST Rivals.
You had a good record against Spirit, 3-0 in the last three matches. What went their way today, what changed?
I think they came with a good plan on Mirage. First of all, they got a lot of entries, they had the momentum, they had it under control. Yeah, I just don’t think we played our best. In general this tournament we didn’t play our best. Of course, we had the 2-0 against Vitality, but if you look at all the other games, it was a bit shaky.
So, yeah, we have a three-tournament stretch at the moment. It’s not easy. So yeah, I would use the excuse of the three tournaments in a row, but could do better still.
You had a lot of deep runs this season. You’ve been very consistently in playoffs. But a semi-final exit here, does it hurt to not be able to make it to the final?
Of course. Of course. I think we could play much better. We all know we can show much better. We could also close out Ancient. We could do better on Mirage. So yeah, I’m a bit sad we didn’t show our A game here.
And even if we do and we lose, it’s fine, but it feels like we didn’t have the chance to show it. So we just go back home, get some rest, and work out to do it next time.
And the next time is the Major, the final event of the season. Tell me a little bit about how to reset, how to get ready for the big one.
First of all, the most important is to take some time off. We’ve been on the road for such a long time. Actually, I don’t remember home. So take some time off. Enjoy the time with your loved ones. And when you come back, don’t forget about the tournament you just did. You have to review it.
You have to look at what was good, what was bad, what you can do better for the next. And then that’s what you do. You just see what you can do better, and you work for it.
