Onur, the LCQ expects Leviatán with its sights set on the Champions League

Honor She went hand in hand with ESPN.compalpitations The start of the LCQ for Leviathanthe sensations of being in the best VALORANT league in the world, it is Desire to train in another area in the future And praise no one Academy players“If he had the age limit, I would have added him as a replacement.”

he Last Chance Qualifier (July 15th – July 23rd) is the last round remaining in the room Leviathan arrives at the UEFA Champions League 2023 in Los Angeles. Albella made points for working towards this contest: “In the first contest He chooses We’ve been strong all year. Pearl is a map we worked hard on and even though some of the results were close, we were the best team on that map.. in our second He chooses Is the place we were missing with Heaven and Ascension, we finished 1-10 on those maps. By and large, we had Anthology And no one can end up like this in your He chooses“.

“especially, We lost a lot of defensive heaven and went up attackingWe definitely need to work on those. We have too Place the fracture firmly Because I feel it will give us more flexibility in He chooses And banOnur commented, “There are weak teams on that map.” Players will have an average routine in terms of the number of hours worked.

Self-criticism of some decisionsThe Argentine noted:The thing that should have been raised better is the choice of who to train against. Against NRG we must have trained 35 times throughout the tournament, the least we played against was LOUD. I kind of feel like this is counterproductive or that it forces you to change things or innovate more frequently than we used to in the past. I feel like the teams adjust from date to date and get to practice, evolving the goal from week to week and it requires you to be more modern about trying new things. For all of that, There is room for improvement in terms of my work“.

regarding them Feelings about the biggest challenge you facedHinge: “A little bit of what I feel is that Leviathan has set the bar pretty high since we formed this project. It seems that Any result in which the team does not finish in the top three in the world is considered a failure. The format was also introduced, last year you had to be able to compete in one or two series to secure a playoff spot. We have come from making the top 8 in the last 3 international tournaments (MASTERS, HEROES AND LOCK // IN). If I told you a few years ago we would have a Latin American team competing equally in a tournament that would have to play 9 series, 45/50% of the win rateThey would sign it and tear the paper out of my hands.”

“At the beginning of the year, when the CEO of Leviatán (Vere Diez) asked me about my expectations, I told him: ‘The competition has become more difficult compared to last year, if we qualify for the Tokyo Masters and the Champions League, celebrate and release champagne just for the sake of qualification,’ he said. Coach laughing.

This year in VALORANT there was a LOCK//IN, so there was only one Division and only one Master: “This year was absolutely extraordinary. In fact, it’s strange for us, and it even makes you feel bad that we sign contracts for a year or two. Firstly, you want to compete because you love competition, and secondly, because you understand that this is a business that should be sustainable for most of the year. The uncertainty that if we don’t get into the Champions League with the LCQ we actually start a holiday period makes you feel grateful to the people who pay your wages.. The formula is not to blame, but it is not sustainable in the long run for all parties.”

“Next year it will be different, we will compete for 3/4 of the year, which makes a lot more sense.”Argentinian and even kept He requested a change for 2024which is difficult to implement:I would like to lower the age for under 18s to compete at Level 1. I think there’s a lot of 16-17 year olds that can compete, but I think there’s an issue with employment law and that kind of takes a little bit of vigor out of the scene. “

In continuation of this topic, One Leviathan Academy player applauded:”We have players like Neon, who, if they were a different age, I would bring them to work with me here. I’d like to add him as a replacement, even if he is, and see how he develops. Unfortunately, he will have to continue playing in the academy for two years or we will have to loan him to another team so that he can continue to develop and that is when the process of developing the player from amateur to professional. Lost. This is something I don’t think will happen anytime soon.”

Onur is a coach who always loves personal challenges and was asked if he was inSome future students analyzed the possibility of training in another part of the world:”I definitely want to train in another area. I love working with new people who come up with a blank slate or come up with different beliefs about the game. Everyone has their book, and that way I can gauge my impact as a coach.”

“If you only have five good players and you work for 3/4 years always with the same players, the team will have development and influence, but you can’t Determine the quality of the trainer. for me, Good coaches are those who can try different projects throughout their career, with different profiles, and get results.commented the Argentine.

“I don’t know when that time will come, but it will definitely happen.”He commented on it and later revealed it: “I got an offer from Japan before LeviathanI’m about to join a Japanese team. It was crazy.”

On his personal development, he said: “Once I finish that dividerI will finish learning English to feel confident and Be prepared for the future, because if I had another project or players who spoke another language, I would like to become a more complete coach in this sense. I don’t rule out being in another area in the future at all. I would like to build a larger business teamWork with players from different regions or in different regions. I would like to compete in a more global way in the future and not just represent Latin America“.
