Q: After becoming the VCT Berlin Masters, everyone’s eyes are on you. Will the team be working on bringing some changes and making new strategies in Champions?

Redgar: We have a chance because all teams understand how we are playing right now, and we should adapt to show them that we can evolve faster than they can understand our playstyle.


Q: Nats has gained massive popularity for his amazing gameplay. However, Gambit as a team has also been strong. How does Gambit set itself apart from the other teams?

Redgar: I guess the main point in our team is the trust we have with each other. We have a beautiful combination in the team and we can realize it because we have been playing with each other for so long, and I guess that is our main point.


Gambit Esports will be going up against some of the best teams of the EMEA region in the Red Bull Home Ground Valorant Tournament. It would be interesting to see how the team prepares before the upcoming Valorant Champions 2021.

The Red Bull Home Ground Valorant Tournament is taking place from November 4 to November 7, 2021.
