Participants in the playoffs of the STAR-series of the Parimatch League in cyber football rated their chances for the championship title. In an interview for Cybersport.ru Nikolai Obolsky, George Melkadze, Alexander Dolgov and Anton Zinkovsky noted that the strongest players of the division reached the semi-finals.
Nikolay Obolsky
“There are always chances – 50 to 50. Either leave or not. I think that there will be neat games, without an abundance of goals. The players are all very strong. There were difficult moments in every match of the group stage, the level of the players was about the same, so I can’t single out anyone. I’m not preparing for matches purposefully, sometimes I play with friends. ”
Georgy Melkadze
“I had no easy matches at the tournament. As a rule, I missed first, then I had to recoup. But as long as I have a joystick, there is a chance of victory, like everyone else. I think the game will be cautious, not the same as in the previous stages. The price of error is very high. ”
Alexander Dolgov
“After the quarter-finals I didn’t enter the game, a couple of days before the match I went in to play some matches so that my hands would remember. I plan the day before the fight and play a couple of matches for him to warm up before him. In the group stage there were two difficult confrontations. The first one was a little easier, because he played with his teammate Sasha Saplinov and understood his level in advance. And in the matches with Ruslan Nigmatullin I was lucky that in the first game I got a good gap in the score, which allowed me to calmly bring the matter to victory in the sum of two matches.
First of all, I expect beautiful goals from the finals, so that there are many! Spectators are much more interested in watching when they score a lot of goals. ”
Anton Zinkovsky
“The strongest remained in the tournament, everyone has a 50-50 chance of winning. If I reached this stage, I have not yet encountered insurmountable difficulties, but all the rivals have been a bother. I expect a difficult game in the semifinals, there will not be many goals and moments at the decisive stages. I did not particularly prepare for the decisive matches. He played a series of matches once with another and did not enter the game anymore. But the day before the games I’ll try to stretch myself. ”
