degster: "I will never join a CIS band again"

Degster, who plays for OG at BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022 as a replacement for mantuu, gave an interview to Pley. Below are the most interesting fragments from the interview of the Russian player.

On the victory over Natus Vincere in the first match of group B:

I think we played very well. Yes, we lost the situation 1 vs 3. It was a sad round. I would like to say bit thanks, he played very well in this moment. We used what we could come up with in the last couple of days since I arrived in Lisbon. I spoke to the team and said what I would like to do. Thank God I found this team to be a stand-in. I really enjoyed playing with them in this tournament because they are friendly, respect me and agreed to pay exactly what I asked them.

On the situation in Team Spirit:

My position in the organization was such that I did not want to relocate to Serbia. This was the reason for my departure. I will not be able to be in Serbia in June and be in shape. I was told that I can move on and it is desirable to decide as soon as possible.

On plans for the future:

Playing at BLAST is a chance for me to show that I can play in an English speaking team. It seems to me that I will never again join a team from the CIS. I am ready to consider only moving to NAVI, otherwise I will prefer to play in Europe.

Recall that BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022 takes place in Lisbon from June 15 to 19. 8 teams are fighting for a prize pool of $425,000. The winner will receive $200,000 and a slot in BLAST Premier: World Final 2022.
