The LA Thieves overwhelmingly defeated the Miami Heretics in their home court, sending them into the elimination round after a clean sweep. The final score of 3-0 might not have surprised many, but the Heretics gave a tougher challenge than anticipated, displaying strong resistance.
Following our latest victory that brought us closer to the grand finals, I had a chance to sit down with Dan ‘Ghosty’ Rothe and Thomas ‘Scrap’ Ernst to gain insights into their strategies for dealing with the high expectations of being hailed as the CDL’s ‘Super Team’ this season.
Shouldering It
As a gamer, I put this question to Scrap and Ghosty before the big day: Did you guys feel any additional pressure trying to meet these sky-high expectations? With Nadeshot boasting about the hefty price tag on our superstar lineup, even jokingly, it was no secret that the LA Thieves were hyped as a Super Team. The CDL was about to kick off and all eyes were on us.
Here’s what they had to say:
Competitor: I often sense a continuous pressure to excel, striving for my best as a competitor. While external factors like other teams and fans add to this stress, it’s ultimately the self-imposed pressure that I feel the most acutely.
Competitor (Simplified): I always feel pressured to be my best when competing. Although fans, other teams, and so on add to this stress, it’s mostly the pressure I put on myself that matters most.
Translation: I’m often under immense community pressure, regardless of the team I represent. Some might label us a Super Team, and I wouldn’t argue with that since my team is exceptional in its abilities. We carry a weight of expectation, but we always approach each match with caution and respect for our opponents.
Afterwards, Scrap guided me through his development within the CDL since joining the league as a novice during the MWII season. He relished his role as an antagonist, embarking on a well-known journey that ignited his public image.
Discard: I’m quite certain that my character won’t evolve. In truth, when I’m up there on stage, I’m simply being true to myself. Whatever surfaces, surfaces. Over the last few years in the League, I seem to have stepped into a more leadership-oriented role, not like the youngster who merely zips around. Currently, finding my place among this younger team that boasts many young players is what I’m striving to do.
Similar to how Shotzzy from Optic Texas feels, the duo expressed their agreement that the crowd in Madrid is exceptionally lively, and they’re eager for more European tournament experiences.
