"We've met Rainbow7 several times. This is my third encounter with them, and this time around, I wanted them to taste defeat.

"The team is in high spirits today. During the first game, I had a little bit of cold feet. I wasn't performing at my best, but thanks to my teammates, I was able to get back on my feet and play very well for the second game.

"People would usually expect GAM to be a very aggressive team with a very aggressive playstyle, but as for the games today, I think we've done pretty well on the macro and it was all thanks to Levi who was doing all the shot calls."
