After Week 3, Day 1 matches concluded, Sportskeeda Esports got the opportunity to ask T1 Autumn, the coach for T1, about the team's performance on the B site and the weaknesses in the team's strategy when it comes to taking control of the same on Pearl.

T1 Autumn said the following:

"This is a really important point on the map and I realized that. We already read their plan but we cannot win the round because our retake plan was not perfect than them. I think we need to make some playstyle about taking B Main more aggressively, I realized that. We didn't do that today, so that's why I think we lost."

Autumn points out that the B site is one of the most important points on Pearl. He claimed that he had analyzed Paper Rex and expected them to try to take control of the site; however, they could not win the map as their strategies to retake the B site were subpar when compared to their opponents.

He acknowledged that this calls for creating a new game plan and playstyle changes so that they can maintain control of Pearl's B Main area more aggressively. Failing to take the B site lost them the map according to Autumn.

B site of Pearl is often criticized for being poorly designed. It favors the attacking team more and as a result, if not properly defended, teams can easily let it slip out of their hands.
