We would like to present you a translation of an interview with Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev by GoodGame.ru. Dauren talks about an upcoming DreamHack Bucharest, the latest roster shuffles and his favourite football club.

Hello, Dauren! How are you and your teammates doing?
Hello! We are doing great, gaining our form and preparing for DreamHack Bucharest 2016.

You managed to win this slot at DH Bucharest in the recent qualifiers. How difficult it was and who you were afraid of most of all?
Online-qualifiers were somewhat a problem for us, but after some time we got used to them. As for who we were afraid of in the qualifiers, I’d say we didn’t think much about who we were playing against, the most important thing for us was how we played.

Are you concentrated only on DH Bucharest or are you preparing for the other tournaments as well? How efficient is your practice?
We are planning to go to a bootcamp for a while before DH Bucharest, where we will play some more online-qualifiers, but the LAN-matches will be the most important. Now we are slowly gaining our form, and we will start intense practice on our boot camp.

Could you tell us about the atmosphere within the team? Are there in-game or personal conflicts?
The atmosphere is good. Of course, there are difficulties sometimes, but who doesn’t have them? It’s a part of team building. I’m sure every team has some conflicts, even if they are not that big.

I’d like to talk to you about CS:GO scene in general. What do you think about the recent changes in the game, for example, changes of the pistol sounds, new rule about coaches that was imposed by Valve, and Major tournaments?
As for me, I don’t really care about the sounds, and it doesn’t influence my play at all. Why would you play worse just because the sounds were changed? If you would, then you have some problems with your head (laughs). And about the new rule - it will influence some teams, but not ours.

What’s your opinion on the gambling sites? Are you glad that they were closed?
I don’t care about them. It doesn’t concern me at all.

Could you tell us what do you think about the roster changes in other teams: s1mple joining Natus Vincere, retirement of zeus, Swedish reshuffle in Fnatic and GODSENT, etc. What if we see Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev in SK Gaming or Cloud9 in the nearest future?
Well, let’s start from the beginning: s1mple joining Na’Vi is a great thing for them, but considering the recent rule changes, it can influence their tactics, since zeus was the only one who coordinated the team and played at the same time. Of course, they had starix before, who was also coordinating the players, but he is a coach now. So they may face some problems. It would be interesting to see what they will decide.
As for the Swedish reshuffle, from what I understood, the reason is personal conflicts between the players. To be the best team in the world and then lose several tournaments in a row… I think someone’s star was shining brighter than someone else's, and that person didn’t like it. I think both teams lost rather than gained because of it. But it’s only my opinion! Who knows, they might be facing each other in the finals of the next Major. Time will tell.
As for me, well, why not. I've been thinking for a long about creating a team together with the American adreN (smiles).

What goals do you set for yourself in the second half of the year?
Goals are the same as in the first half, to become a top 8 team. And don’t think I forgot my idea of the kumis production factory.

It’s not a secret that you are a fan of Manchester United. What do you think about Jose Mourinho becoming the Head Coach of the team and its latest transfers? It’s going to be an interesting and intense season, isn’t it?
Oh, this great feeling when an amazing coach joins your favourite team and signs really talented players! I was shocked by the decisions of some coaches, but I’m glad it’s over. I used to say: "You can laugh, but every dog has its day". And this is it! BELIEVE!

Thank you for your time. Good luck at the upcoming tournaments! Any final words?
Thank you too! Thanks to everyone who supports us, thanks to my relatives and friends for supporting me and believing in my team. "Look Ma, I Am on TV!". And guys, please support us and root for us no matter what, no matter how we will play, well or poorly. Because we always play better when we can feel our sixth player! Peace!
