Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács talked to HLTV.org about their convincing Copenhagen Wolves win, as well as the new maps in a short interview.

Natus Vincere's first and only match on day one was another one-sided faceoff, as Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács and company came out victorious after a 16-6 scoreline on de_inferno. We've talked to GuardiaN in the following interview:

You've just come off of a convincing win against Copenhagen Wolves, what can you say about the match?

Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács: "We were well prepared for this game, so everything went our way. The difference on CT side was perfect for us, even though we lost like three rounds, one of them was stupid."

What do you think about the Copenhagen Wolves and London Conspiracy match, who do you think will come out on top? 

Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács: "Well, we will see. It was like two easy wins for the favourites of the group, if you can say it like this. So it will probably be a close match."

You seem like one of the teams that want to play the new maps, or at least one of them, how much do you think they're going to be played? Do you think we will see them in the playoffs?

Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács: "As far as I know, every single team is playing new maps, but it's different, some are playing Overpass, some are playing Cobblestone. I think it will be played, but it depends on the system of shuffling the maps. I think all teams will pick their maps and then if the system will choose one of the maps, then it will be played."

Do you still stick to banning de_nuke?

Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács: "Yes, we ban nuke, all the time."

Next up will be an interview with either London Conspiracy or Copenhagen Wolves, who are now fighting for survival.
