I like to pull carts... Wait, what?
Let's start over, it sounded too selfish.
Can you cut it out?
It was crap. I tried to sound funny, but I failed.
I love everyone, especially gingers.
Wait, that's nonsense.
What do I say to sound witty?
Access to early access... Are you stupid, Sviatoslav?
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Name, nickname, age, place of birth.
My name is Sviatoslav aka Drainys, I'm from St. Petersburg, 23 years old.
What did you do before esports?
I'd rather not recall it.
Well, I was an ordinary person, I studied at university,
worked at a factory, I did heavy labor, but thanks to esports I'm in a new world now.
Your current occupation.
I spend most of my time on two things: esports, in particular PUBG, and streaming.
Of course, I do have some hobbies, but my main occupation is those two things.
What about your studies?
I studied this year in Finland, Lapinlahti,
but it's hard to juggle studying with streaming and esports,
good thing is I finished the year successfully, but I have to make a decision for the next year.
How did you decide to try yourself in this industry?
To be honest, I never had such an idea, I like the competitive part in all games in general.
When the first CS 1.6 was released I remember it was my first love among games.
Online games were a new thing at the time, we used to play against bots back then,
but CS caught my attention immediately, it was a competition against other people and I love trying to be the best.
That competition brought me here.
What changed since then?
Everything has changed dramatically: the career, goals, motivation, financial situation improved as well.
It's fun, I'm enjoying my life.
What's your family's and friends' attitude towards esports?
I think like every family, at first, my parents and brothers treated it as a waste of time.
But it was always a hobby for me, they realized I would continue playing day and night no matter what.
At some point, they understood it's better to leave me alone, and let me do my thing.
What games did you play before, and why did you choose PUBG?
The main game I played before PUBG was WoW, but the problem was I wanted to leave that game
because there was no competition, the developers never aimed to make it an esports,
so PUBG saved me in those terms, I've always looked for a highly competitive game.
I didn't have enough skill and experience to play CS, and intelligence to some extent to play Dota.
But PUBG is a great mix of those things, it allowed me to do my best.
How did you become part of NAVI?
I knew Grubie needed a fourth player, and I had some problems with my old team,
so it happened that players contacted me, and things went well, so I joined their team naturally.
Are you on good terms with your former teammates?
Everyone knows I played for AVANGAR before, I'm on excellent terms with Mumino, Keen and Onuqtive, they are my friends and great professionals.
But we are in the sports environment, so sometimes roster changes happen, it's natural.
Of course, I'm on good terms with former and with current teammates, and I'm happy.
Do you feel the difference performing on LAN as an independent player compared to being part of an organization?
Of course, I was a part of one organization before, now I'm a part of another,
there is more responsibility, obviously, and I consider it.
But when you come to a LAN, all you want is to win, you focus on it and don't think about anything else.
You stare at your screen, play, and win - this is my LAN philosophy.
What are your expectations for the GGL Season 1 LAN Grand Finals?
Top 1 of course, we are the best CIS players, we are the only representatives of our region, so we will aim for the win.
I should mention that this is the most competitive LAN in PUBG history.
Because with all due respect, there are no teams from China, Australia,
which so far are less skillful than top US and American squads.
Every team had to go through qualifiers to get here, so they know what they are doing, it's gonna be more fun.
Is it hard to juggle being a streamer and a pro player?
It's definitely not easy, both things are time-consuming, but it's doable for me.
I like playing PUBG, I like to interact with the chat, I enjoy it.
Playing in tournaments, talking to people on stream, playing PUBG, I enjoy all those things, they give me positive emotions.
It's not easy time-wise, but I really enjoy both things.
Are you trying new add-ons in WoW, or did you quit the game completely?
I think the PvP in the game is dead. There are two modes: players against players,
and an absolutely unexciting for me mode, when 20 people gather to kill bosses.
This mode is not for me, but the developers focus on it, they improve it, forgetting about the PvP aspect,
so the game is dead to me, I don't play it and don't have plans to.
Should the developers reconsider SKS and Mini-14 stats?
Of course not, SKS is the best weapon.
That was sarcasm.
What do you think of red circles? Some players think they should be removed.
I like them! I love the atmosphere of Vietnam, when there are bombs everywhere, it's like ASMR for my ears.
Every time I open the game and drop into Pecado, I dream of red zone appearing on me four times in a row,
so I can enjoy the sounds and the atmosphere Brandon Greene offers in this game.
How do you think the circles should be balanced?
Actually, it's a great challenge for the PUBG developers, because now there are a lot of questions even in competitive mode.
The main concerns are because there is water on the maps, so up to 70% of the first circle can be water.
It's limiting options for the teams in terms of strategy, rotations, and so on.
Even the most consistent teams suffer from that, they might get unlucky with their rotations and end up placing top 16.
So the professional community has been asking PUBG Corp to get rid of water for a while,
and it seems the devs have been working on it the past month.
Should the developers reconsider the balance of different armor tiers, or are they perfectly balanced at the moment?
To be honest, I don't think so, the balance of damage mitigation is rather well-thought.
Maybe they should improve the chance of finding tier 2 gear a bit.
There was an awesome idea to add tier 3 items to the air drop during tournaments.
They are pretty imbalanced, they counter the sniper rifles, so the devs should think about it.
Do you enjoy playing custom modes like deathmatch? Should they be added to the game officially?
I don't like the current War mode at all because you're wasting a lot of time to drop,
then you receive a random weapon with a random scope, without any attachments.
So it's pretty raw right now, but if the devs continue to develop it, maybe it will become better.
But personally, I have no interest playing it.
Do you consider the game balanced right now? Should there be some stat reworks?
That's a difficult question, it requires a lot of time to answer.
The main balancing tool are circles, there are micro moments,
but they are solved by server settings during tournaments.
For example, here we have improved chances of finding weapons and scopes, the balance can be improved this way.
But in general, something can be done with circles to improve the game.
Is M416 imbalanced?
I can't say it's imbalanced, but it's definitely the best weapon among the assault rifles.
Should the pan be penetrable for the sake of realism?
To be honest, I'm opposed to realism, this is not Escape from Tarkov, this is an esports game,
we shouldn't mind realism, jumps from the second floor...
Some people ask why you don't break legs jumping from the roof.
The realism isn't the most important thing here, it's not the most entertaining part of the game.
So I'm opposed to focusing on realism in PUBG.
Your three most favorite weapons.
The first one is of course the SKS, it's the best weapon in the game, especially with a vertical foregrip, and a suppressor.
The second-best is the UMP with a Quickdraw mag.
My favorite setup is the UMP and the SKS, every time I find that combination on stream, I always win with 30-35 kills.
Feel free to tune in.
The third weapon after those two awesome weapons is M24 - the sniper rifle, I like the sound it makes.
Which one is better: to drop into a village with no one around, loot,
and start playing the game, or to drop into a very crowded place?
There is no difference if you don't mind dropping into the hot zones, like School and Military Base.
If you don't rage after getting killed there, you should try those spots.
In general, it's better to play your first 500 hours the way you enjoy, to get used to the map, to the weapons.
There is no particular advice, you should just play more.
What mistakes should new players avoid?
Probably most mistakes are psychological because if you are new, you will die a lot.
Even being a pro player, I die a lot in pubs, I don't mind it though because it doesn't mean anything, I just play for fun.
So my advice is even if you're having a bad day and you can't find weapons,
don't get upset, don't rage, don't hit your table, like a famous streamer does.
Quite often tournament organizers invite the most famous teams to their tournaments.
Do you think it's unfair, or a good squad can always find an org?
A very good squad can always find an organization, it's true.
And regarding invites, I think it's fine.
Maybe half of the participants should get direct invites, and the other half should qualify.
Regarding tags, if I was a tournament organizer, I would definitely try to invite more famous teams,
because this increases tournament media exposure, attracts more viewers, so I think it's absolutely normal.
The formats of the tournaments are random, just like the game itself.
Should Bluehole implement general rules, just like Valve does?
Yes, definitely. There are regional differences however, China plays TPP, we play FPP.
The competitive part of PUBG is still young and raw, so I think it will be done in the future.
Right now we should consider the difference in regions, we play what we enjoy more.
Maybe in the future, when prize pools get bigger and the viewership numbers grow, everything will be more organized.
The qualifiers for IEM Oakland last year were scheduled too close to the LAN finals, it was impossible for some people to get the US visa in time.
Did the approach of the organizers change during those six months?
Not really. Both Katowice and Oakland events were held by ESL, they have stringent requirements, including visas,
regardless of where a tournament takes place, and there are very few spots for the qualifiers.
I remember last time I played qualifiers with my previous team, there were 1024 EU teams competing for 3 slots.
The conditions are rough, but they haven't changed probably.
The duo tournament by GLL has finished recently. How did you like it? Would you take part in the second season?
Duo tournament? No, I think solo and duo are just for fun, so even if I participate, it will be just for fun.
Of course, I'll do my best, but duos and solos are currently not suitable for competitive PUBG.
What's your take on the new map? Do you want it to be played in tournaments?
The version I played is certainly not suitable for competitive play,
because it looks like a deathmatch with 100 people dropping into the same location and extreme lags.
80 people die in the first 2 minutes and only 15-20 players make it to mid and late game, which is obviously not fun.
Well, I played the alpha version of the map,
the developers will probably listen to feedback and improve it.
Should the amount of airdrop loot in a tournament mode be increased?
I don't think it should.
Otherwise, teams can get ultimate weapons,
like a 15X scope, Groza, M249, what else... AWM, of course.
All tournament teams running around with AWMs - that would be complete chaos.
Because this weapon gives a strong upper hand
and it would majorly shift the balance, which is bad for competitive play.
At GLL, Erangel and Miramar are played the same number of times.
Do you think it's reasonable?
Do you like the desert map?
I think it's unreasonable.
I think that Erangel is currently the only competitive map in PUBG.
However, it's up to the organizers as it is them who run the show, we'll adapt.
How do you like Miramar?
I hate Miramar.
Do in-game bugs affect the competitive side of things?
Or players are aware of the bugs and just try to avoid them?
I can think of some examples.
During the qualifiers for Oakland,
I remember I got stuck between the car and the fence as I got out of the car and died.
Our squad was down to 3 men and fortunately, we didn't really lose any points because of that, but we could.
It happened about 3 months ago.
Of course, the overall number of bugs has been decreasing constantly, but some are still present.
Even Brendan Greene himself has admitted that PUBG is not esports ready yet.
But they are implementing ideas and doing everything necessary in order to make the game a full-fledged esports discipline.
The bugs are getting fixed and I hope one day, in maybe 80 years,
we will be able to open PUBG and say the game is finally bugless and lagless.
Are you good at CS:GO? What's your rank there?
I love CS, but I always lacked something to start playing it professionally.
Maybe motivation...
Actually, no, I've always had motivation.
Probably skill, the mentality of a winner, or something.
Experience to some extent.
I played FaceIT, reached level 9 or 10, which is pretty good, but it didn't go further than that.
What's the difference between playing online and offline?
The difference is substantial.
The motivation is different when playing offline.
You come to a LAN, the PCs are different,
the atmosphere is completely different, people from other countries.
Playing on LAN is a completely different experience than playing online.
There's one important thing:
I've personally had problems with motivation when playing online tournaments,
which is far from being the case on LAN.
Ideally, one must strive to maintain the same level of motivation when playing online and on LAN.
After an unsuccessful tournament, teams start to shuffle or even disband. Why is this happening?
Roster shuffle is a common thing in sports.
When something's not working out, everyone on a team understands that roster changes are necessary.
Which I think is not always good in the world of PUBG,
because people get their teamwork going, know rotations, strategies and so on,
and newcomers often find it difficult to adapt to a new team,
including psychologically and mentally.
This is especially the case for European teams
as they often put together a mix of players with different nationalities,
and it might be hard for some people to get on the same page.
There are plenty of examples of roster changes in PUBG not making any difference.
Of course, sometimes changes are the only way to go, sometimes people just don't get along.
It depends on the situation.
Could there be a dominant team in the PUBG competitive scene, like NAVI used to be in the early Dota 2 days?
Or will every tournament bring a new champion?
It's hard to say, but so far, judging by online and offline competitions,
FaZe is arguably the best team in PUBG right now.
Because they have been playing together for a while now.
They play very well individually.
It's also worth noting they were the first team in the world that started playing PUBG competitively.
Either way, at the moment they are clearly ahead of the pack in PUBG.
I hope we can surpass their level.
What qualities should a pro player possess?
In the esports world, being skilled is obviously highly valuable.
However personally, I think that having the right psychological attitude is way more important.
Being able to communicate properly with your teammates and relay information correctly.
In PUBG, the competitions are held in the format of 16 games,
and it is often the case that something can go wrong in the first 4-5 games and you might place last.
A real pro will always react appropriately to such things.
Not everyone is able to do so yet, though.
But one must develop these qualities.
Being able to take a loss properly,
to pull yourself together and focus on what's necessary.
I think this is the most important aspect.
How does your typical day start?
As a true streamer, I get out of bed, order pizza, eat pizza and then I turn on the stream.
The rest depends on the mood.
How much time do you spend playing?
It depends on the plans and how much free time I have at my disposal.
I've been streaming less lately because the weather is good,
spring has finally rolled around to Saint Petersburg, which you might find hard to believe.
I've been going out more often lately and spending more time with friends and family.
Therefore, I've been dedicating less time to streaming,
but nevertheless, I can afford to stream for 3-4, maybe 5 hours a day.
Do you have a hobby?
Yes, as a matter of fact, I have a lot of hobbies.
The last couple of years, I have been actively involved in sports, I love cycling.
I'm fond of playing the piano and the saxophone.
Actually, I've spent a lot of time learning music.
I still enjoy playing something every now and then.
Do you cook?
Yes, I can cook.
Not as good as a chef, though.
But if I get stuck in harsh conditions, I can cook up a pot of buckwheat for myself.
How do you keep fit?
Keeping physically fit has been a bit of a problem lately
as I contracted a severe cold during Starladder,
and for some reason, this cold is lasting a long time, probably a month or so.
I still can't fully recover, but I hope I will soon.
So it's a little difficult for now to keep physical form.
But overall, I like to stay in shape by hitting the gym and lifting some weights every once in a while.
Within reason, of course.
What is the best source of motivation for you?
Frankly, I don't need any special motivation,
because as far as esports concerned - I always want to win.
Not only esports, basically any online game I play.
I love the aspect of competition and I always want to be the best among others.
This is my thing.
The desire to win is, in fact, my main source of motivation.
Who inspires you the most?
Since I studied economics, I admire entrepreneurs:
Maybe Richard Branson and Elon Musk.
People who push their ideas globally.
Probably those two, I'd say.
What are your best traits?
It's quite hard to break me psychologically and piss me off.
I'm always calm in serious situations.
On LAN tournaments, regardless of how things unfold, I'm always mentally stable.
I never get upset or anything of the sort.
This is what I've been trying to achieve for a long time,
and finally did it at the age of 23.
Well, I don't really like discussing my traits, I'm just an ordinary person like everyone else.
What are your flaws?
Well, I don't know, it's not for me to say.
But I definitely have flaws, like any other human being.
Do you have any quirks?
To be honest, I really enjoy smoking a hookah.
Though this is probably a bad habit, and you might say a quirk,
but I love smoking a hookah, I don't know why.
What do you value most in friends?
A sense of humor and being positive.
I like people who can joke and make me laugh somehow, give a charge of positive emotions.
I really appreciate such people and it's great to have them on the team.
Who is the best joker on the team?
I'd say ubah, he's a joke specialist.
What's your social life like? How often do you go out?
To be honest, I prefer to stay indoors, because I'm a streamer and a pro player after all.
I enjoy sitting at home, streaming and interacting with the chat.
What is your current goal in life?
I don't have a particular life goal.
Life's goal is life itself.
This is my approach.
I'm just enjoying the opportunities I've been given, that's all.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
To be honest, I've always dreamed of becoming a sports doctor, particularly a mountaineering one.
By the age of 23, I realized that I'm more interested in medicine than in economics.
For some reason, the older I get the more I'm drawn to this field.
I don't know, maybe I'll get into it one day.
I'm basically already a medic, my teammates do the killing job while I carry medical supplies.
This is my role in NAVI.
What one thing would you bring to a zombie apocalypse?
AWP, of course. I'd sit on the roof and shoot zombies.
What could possibly more fun?
With unlimited ammo.
What are your top 3 favorite games?
PUBG, Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft.
3 favorite apps?
Kiwi, PayPal, and Sberbank online.
3 favorite bands or artists?
Five Finger Death Punch, then Sigur Ros, an Icelandic band.
And probably a Swedish band Kent.
3 favorite books?
The first one is Deathlord by Harry Harrison.
Also, the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.
And A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin, I love it.
Probably these books.
3 favorite movies/series?
Series: Dexter, Game of Thrones, Fargo, True Detective.
I've watched a lot of series, I'd probably pick Dexter as my favorite one.
As for the movies - Gladiator is my favorite.
3 favorite actresses/actrors?
That would probably be George Clooney, Daniel Craig, and Richard Gere.
3 favorite YouTube channels?
I'm not really into YouTube, the only channel I watch is NAVI PUBG.
3 cities that you would like to visit?
Reykjavik.
Then I'd say the region of Patagonia.
And the last one would be New York.
3 favorite dishes/drinks?
Actually, the range of drinks has changed significantly after joining NAVI.
Now I prefer fresh orange juice.
Then a raspberry tea, preferably warm.
And Monster Energy obviously, it keeps my energy up throughout the day.
3 gifts you would like to get?
That would probably be something gaming related, or hardware: a graphics card, an SSD drive.
So, dear viewers of my channel, you will never go wrong with sending me a new graphics card as a gift.
But you know, the gift is not important.
It's not the gift, it's the thought that counts.
And I appreciate it much more than any stuff.
3 things you can't live without?
Constant challenges. I need constant challenges.
Goals that I want to pursue, achieve and spend time accomplishing them.
Closest people and their support, of course.
Some kind of activity. Sports, for example.
Maybe social activity. Which is hardly believable, but still.
It is important for me to have a whole day planned out.
It's hard to find motivation without that.
What's your motto?
My motto is: I want to win.
What social networks are you on?
The first one is my VKontakte page where I post stream highlights and some things about my life.
Also, Instagram where I post pictures and video stories.
And Twitter. One of my favorite social media platforms.
A huge thanks to Natus Vincere and our sponsors for their support,
for making our dreams come true, and providing us the opportunity to be here.
Also to the fans and all the viewers, your support is very important to us.
We always keep in mind that we represent the CIS region and that a lot of people support us.
I hope we won't let you down.
Also a shout out to my friends and family who are watching us,
I extremely appreciate your support.
And a special shout-out to my business partner Valeria Smorodinova.
And to all my fellow streamer colleagues who are watching this tournament.
