KC ZE1SH recounted the journey of his team over the past few months. He explained that he did not think, five months ago, that they could reach this level, particularly because the group was, in his opinion, struggling mentally. At that time, he believed that progressing from the top 12 to qualifying for the playoffs would already have been a great achievement. The coach thanked the club for trusting him and funding a training trip, which he described as a turning point. The qualification for the EWC, despite being eliminated in the group stage against PRX and NRG, later gave him confidence in his methods and vision for the game. He said the team approached split 2 with good training, then qualified for the Champions and won a trophy. KC ZE1SH indicated that the team arrived early at the bootcamp before the Champions in China. With Youenn, he had established protocols in Berlin to help the players adjust their sleep to the time difference. However, he reported that illnesses and accumulated fatigue had hindered their preparation, and the team seemed less sharp to him than in stage 2. He also confided that qualifying for the Champions had been good for him after a difficult period mentally. He had lost 8 kg, he wrote, before regaining it at the beginning of the 2026 season. His goal as a coach was, in his opinion, to help the players grow both in the game and as individuals, and he believed they emerged stronger from this experience. #Esport #Coaching #Équipe (translated)
