M0nesy acknowledged that Team Falcons has lowered its expectations for its results

Ilya “M0nesy” Osipov acknowledged that the Team Falcons roster has lowered its expectations for its current results, recognizing issues with the team’s gameplay.

The player shared this opinion on Twitch.

“I’m always confident in myself. Deep down, you always feel like you’re in the running for the trophy, but… If you look at how we’re playing from the outside, you can’t really say that’s the case. But you always believe you can win. We’ve just lowered our expectations.

We know our problems and recognize the mistakes we’re making. The main challenge is not to repeat them so we can stay consistent. We need to maintain consistency from match to match. But sometimes we just can’t pull it off.

I believe we can improve in the playoffs. For some reason, we often play our best CS in the playoffs rather than in the group stage. I don’t know why that is. But I don’t want to set high expectations. Now we’ll head back to the hotel, analyze the matches, practice, and prepare for the playoffs.”

According to Ilya “M0nesy” Osipov, despite their confidence in their own abilities, Team Falcons have decided to lower their expectations for their results due to inconsistent play. The esports player noted that the team understands its problems and recognizes its mistakes, but so far hasn’t always been able to avoid repeating them from match to match.

At the same time, the player expects the Falcons to step up their game in the playoffs: based on his observations, the team often demonstrates a higher level of Counter-Strike there than during the group stage. Before the start of the decisive stage, the team plans to analyze past matches, hold training sessions, and prepare for their next opponents without setting unrealistic expectations for themselves.

As a reminder, Ilya “M0nesy” Osipov previously commented on the slump in Maxim “Kyousuke” Lukin’s performance.
