Jonas 'SabeRLighT-' Volek stated that Team Liquid 's revamped roster needs more time to start showing good results.

The player stated that his new teammates realize this by showing a patient attitude.

The corresponding statement was made by the player in an interview on twitch .

“We are a patient team. Even after the defeat at BetBoom Dacha, no one took it too badly, especially no one blamed me. Yes, you can tell there are certain expectations from a team when they change the lineup. The Gaimin Gladiators have the same problem, they changed one player. It takes time to get things going. And my team understands that. For me it's good that there's not a lot of pressure.”

Jonas 'SabeRLighT-' Volek also assessed the format of the BLAST Slam I Dota 2 tournament, saying that on the one hand he enjoyed playing at an intense pace, but the player suggests that this approach can be grueling for some. On the other hand, teams that have secured spots in the last rounds of the playoffs are forced to come into play sharply after a long break.

“You have to see if the playoff run-up helps. It's a very interesting format. On one hand it's cool to play day in and day out, keeping the momentum going. Although, I can imagine it's also a little bit exhausting. We'll have to see. At the same time, the “better” teams are seeded further down the gridiron. I don't know what's better, going on inertia or coming out after a couple days break, even if you're playing sparring.”

Team Liquid started the BLAST Slam I playoffs from the quarterfinals due to their second place finish in the group stage, but the team lost their first match in the deciding stage of the tournament against PARIVISION .
