Daniil "Zeus" Teslenko gave his first interview after joining Gambit Esports as a captain of our CS:GO division. One of the largest Russian sports coverage web sites Championat inquired him about his replacement in Natus Vincere, his current form and teammates. This interview was conducted in Russian and we would like to provide you with a translation.

Why did Natus Vincere decide to replace you with Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev? What’s your opinion on this decision?
Kostyliev, as is see it, is one of the best players in the World, therefore recruiting him is reasonable for almost any team. I was replaced by him, since my former teammates wanted to see a younger player in their roster, someone who is closer to their age. S1mple is a perfect option for them.

What kind of offers did you receive from your former organization? Why did you neglect them after you had been moved to a substitute position?
There were a lot of offers, but I wanted to continue playing CS, therefore joining another team was the most optimal decision for me.

Why did you chose to join Gambit Esports?
Gambit is a good organization that is gaining momentum. More importantly, it has players I would like to work with. I think that given some time we’ll achieve what we want.

What do you make of your current form?
At the moment my form is acceptable, but not perfect. Even though I had a break, I continued playing at different tournaments and qualifiers.
