Shalfey commented on the loss to Monte at ESL Pro League 19.
"It's kind of frustrating, kind of not. We both played ###### [poorly] – both us and them. It's like we lacked some calmness and experience. Well, and somewhere we just really got unlucky. Still lagging, damn it. Overall, it's okay.
Next, we play against Furia, I don't know, whatever. Hopefully, everything will be fine, we're just doing our best. Thanks to everyone who's rooting for us," thanked Alexander "Shalfey" Marenov the fans.
