How much culture shock is it as a coach to go from an IGL you have always worked with to someone completely new?
FalleN is awesome. It's really easy to work with him, he's willing to collaborate with everyone, he's open-minded so, as someone who is an IGL and has this kind of profile, it's really easy [to work with]. I'm really happy to have him on the team.
chelo seemed like a much quicker move than FalleN, at least from the outside looking in. What was the process of bringing him on board and what factors led you to know he is the player you wanted to work with?
In 2018 or end of 2017, I already talked with chelo to bring him to FURIA. I was always looking at him playing. When we started to talk about the fifth player, we talked about a lot of players, when I asked FalleN about chelo, he gave me a lot of insight, and when I heard that I was certain chelo was going to be the fifth player. chelo always is the best player wherever he plays. To bring him, with a lot of firepower and a lot of experience, was the dream for us.
