They were mostly asked how they felt before the tournament about themselves and if they considered the Turkish region to be the best. The team feels confident about themselves as they consider their playstyle to be aggressive. They are more confident with their explosive playstyle and like to be fast with their approach.
In the same interview, it was asked how they feel about having Ascend star, cNed on their roster. The following was quoted by yetujey about his teammate who has seen beyond international waters before:
He brings the structure from EMEA teams and he knows the play style better. Because the Turkish playstyle is said to be far more aggressive than European teams.
The interviewee even talked about how calm cNed is now, compared to his older aggressive style. yetujey believes that cNed is a good example for the team and endorsed him as a good player.
FUT Esports were also asked whether they feel pressure against Gen.G Esports as they look forward to facing off again. The answer was straight “no” as they are not nervous about facing them at the Valorant Convergence 2023 India.
They even mentioned how times are changing in Turkey for esports. People there mostly cared about traditional sports, yet they are happy to get similar recognition now. Moreover, they even talked about getting support from their countrymen during their endeavors.
