Will "RUSH" Wierzba gave us an interview about OpTic's journey at the ELEAGUE Major following eliminating FlipSid3 in the third round of the Swiss format.
OpTic started their journey at the ELEAGUE Major with two narrow losses to Virtus.pro and Astralis, but the third round saw them surviving the elimination match with FlipSid3 after a close Train.
We asked William "RUSH" Wierzba about OpTic's three matches, the issues they faced prior to the Major, and the Swiss format as a whole:
