RUSH: "Our preparation was limited"

Will "RUSH" Wierzba gave us an interview about OpTic's journey at the ELEAGUE Major following eliminating FlipSid3 in the third round of the Swiss format.

OpTic started their journey at the ELEAGUE Major with two narrow losses to Virtus.pro and Astralis, but the third round saw them surviving the elimination match with FlipSid3 after a close Train.
