During Week 3, Day 2 VCT 2023: Pacific League scrum interviews, Sportskeeda Esports got the opportunity to interact with ZETA DIVISION's head coach XQQ. The coach was asked about their repeated attempts at trying to take control of Pearl's B site. To this, the coach had to say the following:

"All teams who have a similar Agent composition like us, it's stronger to go to the B site. It is only natural for a team with the same composition to go to that site."

According to the coach, the B site on Pearl is much easier to take for teams with the same Agent composition. In the match against Global Esports, ZETA DIVISION's Agent composition included the following - Jett (Dep), Harbor (crow), Viper (SugarZ3ro), Killjoy (TENNN), and Skye (Laz).

XQQ clearly states that this Agent composition is ideal for hitting the B site on Pearl. Hence, this ZETA DIVISION tried to break through the defense of Global Esports on the B site repeatedly. Unfortunately, the map ended in favor of the Indian team with a score of 13-9.

Earlier, T1 Autumn was also questioned about the particular site on Pearl. In their match against Paper Rex, T1 couldn't properly defend the site and had to give up control of it to their opponents most of the time. The coach believed that the only way to counter the brutal attacks on B was for the defending team to play the map aggressively and take control of B Main ahead of their opponents.

This was brilliantly portrayed in the matchup between ZETA DIVISION and Global Esports where the latter would try to shut down any imminent threats early in the game by heading up B Main.
