HUASOPEEK Reflects on Growth and Challenges Ahead of FISSURE Playground 3

Chilean esports player Matias "HUASOPEEK" Ibañez Hernandez is preparing for 9z's upcoming participation in FISSURE Playground 3 in Suzhou, China. The team is looking to bounce back after experiencing consecutive group-stage exits in their recent tournaments. Previously, 9z celebrated success by winning the XSE Pro League in Guangzhou, where HUASOPEEK earned his first HLTV MVP award, marking a significant milestone for both him and Chilean esports.

In a recent interview, HUASOPEEK shared insights on the challenges that lie ahead for 9z and how he has been studying other professional players, particularly Maksim "kyousuke" Lukin and Danil "donk" Kryshkovets, to enhance his skills as an entry fragger. He emphasized the importance of learning from the strategies of successful players, stating that observing them has greatly benefited his gameplay.

Despite his individual accolades, HUASOPEEK maintains that his expectations for himself remain consistent. He expressed a strong desire for 9z to regain their confidence and advance to the playoffs, especially after facing tough competition in previous events. He acknowledged that to be recognized as a tier-one team, they must secure victories against formidable opponents.

Reflecting on his MVP award, HUASOPEEK noted the positive response from the Chilean community, highlighting the pride and support he has received from fellow gamers and fans. He remains grounded, insisting that the award has not altered his approach to the game or his self-assessment as a player.

As 9z gears up for their next challenge, HUASOPEEK's focus is clear: to build confidence in their initial matches and aim for playoff success before setting their sights on winning the tournament.
