AW Reflects on Magic's FISSURE Playground 3 Exit and Future Prospects

Magic has been making strides in the esports scene, recently achieving playoff appearances in major events such as PGL Astana and the Esports World Cup. However, their journey at the FISSURE Playground 3 came to an abrupt end as they failed to advance past Alliance, despite earlier victories over FaZe and PARIVISION.

In an interview following their exit, Andrey "AW" Anisimov shared his frustrations, stating, "Damn, I'm upset. Individually I played poorly at this tournament. I think we should have been winning, but if we should have won, we would have won, right?" His disappointment was palpable, yet he maintained a hopeful outlook for the future, acknowledging that the team is still developing.

AW emphasized the need for consistent performance at a higher level, saying, "You always want more, but I guess for now that means we're not ready to actually win tournaments. I think we'll get there, it just takes time." He noted that improvement is necessary, particularly in their map veto strategy, as they have been relying heavily on Ancient due to their confidence in it.

Reflecting on the match against PARIVISION, a former team, AW expressed a desire to prove himself, stating that there was a personal interest in facing them. He recognized the emotional stakes involved but reiterated the importance of focusing on future tournaments and continued growth. Overall, while disappointed with their recent results, AW remains committed to the team's development and future success.
