After Kinguin secured the last semi-finals spot at WESG World Finals, we caught up with Karol "rallen" Rodowicz to ask about their group stage and the upcoming Polish battle.

Kinguin reached first place in Group C, where they exchanged maps with Space Soldiers and defeated FIVE, Bravado and Signature.

In the quarter-finals against Epsilon, the Poles fell short in the overtime on Cache while Overpass and Cobblestone went their way comfortably.

rallen is hoping for a good game against his countrymen

In our next interview from WESG, Karol "⁠rallen⁠" Rodowicz talked about the team's group stage, the overtime against the Swedes, and the upcoming battle against their countrymen Virtus.pro.

In Group C you met Space Soldiers apart from some of the lower-tier teams, talk to me about the Turkish team, with whom you exchanged maps.
Space Soldiers play very good Counter-Strike, I think they can beat EnVyUs if they show up like today versus iGame.com. Their Nuke was insane on the CT side. Our game was a lot of our mistakes, because we lost two forces and it fucked us up. I guess they are on a good way to go to the final at this tournament.
What about the lower teams, you had teams such as Signature, FIVE and Bravado in your group, was there anything that impressed you about these teams?
They were playing their game, but for sure we need to remember that DarkPassage and iGame also had awesome games in their group. I guess TyLoo also did very well, because they just changed two players and only had a few days to practice or something like that, and they looked very good versus EnVyUs. It looked like they would win, because it was like 14-12 and they shocked us with that score on the map.
What about those teams in your group, was there any player or anything else that you noticed in your matches?
Detrony from Bravado for sure, but we know this guy from the Major at DreamHack Winter 2014. He was playing very well with the AWP, also sonic in the clutch rounds, he won something like 10 clutches over the four matches, it was insane.
Going over to Epsilon in the quarter-finals, can you tell us what the first map, Cache, looked like, as it went to overtime?
They were playing like FPL style, everyone was peeking every position and we were dying to them a lot. But we came back, it was overtime, but in OT on our T side we didn't know they were going to delay the retake in one of the rounds, at 17-16. We started to peek them too fast and made a huge mistake.
Facing Virtus.pro tomorrow, which is basically a rematch of the third place decider at the regional finals, give us a little preview of that, what is it going to take for you to beat them?
I guess our mission hasn't ended yet, we have to show up. Maybe it's time to change the leader.
As in a leader in Poland?
Yeah, like in Poland, maybe not change the leader, but we want this win versus VP so much, we'll try to do our best, and I hope it will be a very good game.
