Captain of our CS:GO team Dmitry "hooch" Bogdanov spoke with theScore esports about his return to the competitive scene, working with a coach and preparing for Columbus Major Championship. Below you can find an abstract from this interview.

What's it like leading players like Mihail “Dosia” Stolyarov and Dauren “AdreN” Kystaubayav given their pedigree and the fact that they are Major veterans?
I have been the in-game leader since we started playing together as it was originally planned like that. I have played with AdreN before and Dosia was always my rival in 1.6 era, so it wasn't a problem at all.

The roster has been stable for almost four months now. Why do you think the team has stuck together for this long?
We have good chemistry, a good organisation which supports us and we know that changing the lineup is not the only way to fix some problems.

This is your first Major, what does that mean for you?
It feels amazing, but it won't be nice if we fail, so I want to prepare good and to show some good result.
