“My relatives and friends who were with me on those two days with whom I shared this story and who asked for advice will not let me lie. In those two days, I decided to leave the B8 bootcamp and come to a place where, as I and all my teammates understood, it would be better where I would have the opportunity to open up more ... I spent these two days in the present tilt: I pondered this situation endlessly and tried to decide if I was ready to act badly with the teammates, show my ego and go where I would have the opportunity to prove myself.
I solved this for two days - a very long two days. Never in my whole life had I felt so bad because of my actions. It was very difficult for me to make this decision, but ... I have already had three cases in my career when I refused to go to higher level teams, because I did not want to leave teammates - I believed in them and thought that everything would work out for us. But each time it turned out to be a mistake - they just threw me. I do not blame anyone for those stories - there were different circumstances, but I was terribly unwilling for the fourth time to be in this situation.
This time I wanted to think more about my career. I did not want to miss the chance that fell to me. I know that I acted badly in relation to my former teammates. I told them this and explained why I made such a decision. I think they saw that I feel guilty, but I needed it. After two long days, I came to the conclusion that I needed to leave. I am very sorry that this happened. The guys from B8 are very cool. I managed to make friends with them, everything was fine with us. But I did not want to miss the chance and wanted to take a chance. ”
Cooman and Zayac joined Virtus.pro on February 3. The team took second place in the qualifiers for ESL One Los Angeles 2020 and received a slot in the third major of the season.
