Legacy Advances to Quarter-Finals After Dominating NAVI

Legacy has successfully clinched a place in the quarter-finals of the Esports World Cup following a commanding 2-0 victory against Natus Vincere. The Brazilian team demonstrated their skill with strong performances on both Inferno and Ancient, securing the win with impressive starts on each map.

In a post-match interview, Legacy's captain, Andrei "arT" Piovezan, shared insights into the team's performance and the dynamics with newcomer Santino "try" Rigal. He acknowledged that while there are still some communication gaps, try's individual talent has allowed him to shine within the team. "This is a process that will only get better," arT noted, emphasizing the potential for improvement as they continue to work together.

Looking ahead, Legacy is set to face the reigning Major champions, Falcons, in the quarter-finals. This match will serve as a rematch of the CS Asia Championships final, where Legacy emerged victorious three months ago. arT recognized that the Falcons will be eager for revenge, stating, "They’ve improved a lot since that CAC. So much so that they went on to win the Major." He emphasized the need for Legacy to play their best game and maintain control during the match.

The victory over NAVI was unexpected for some, but arT explained that they prepared well and capitalized on key moments during the match. He noted that building a comfortable lead early on and winning crucial pistol rounds were significant factors in their success. Despite some challenges, including strong performances from NAVI's w0nderful, Legacy remained confident in their strategy and execution throughout the game.

As Legacy continues their journey in the tournament, arT expressed confidence in the team's capabilities, stating, "We know the level of CS and the potential we have." He reiterated that their focus remains on improving and achieving better results, regardless of external opinions about their performance.
