What did JBa say?
Given that Wildcard have not had a lot of LAN experience, qualification past the RMR and now making it to the top 16 has meant a lot, especially to JBa: “I'm speechless. I learned that I'm the only American in the Top 16, so that's crazy. But I'm just super proud of our team and myself for believing and always keeping a positive attitude.”
When asked about how the team has been adjusting to the LAN experience, JBa said: “I'd say nerves played a little bit of a part. I'm not too much of a social person, I like to sit away in my room and play games, so playing in front of people is a new thing. The biggest thing for me was playing with the setup. I'm not comfortable playing with a monitor stand at home. For the past 10 years. I played with a monitor arm and had the monitor really close to my face and my keyboard right under me. When I was on LAN, I just had to change my whole setup, and I just didn't feel comfortable.”

When asked about the upcoming Elimination Stage, featuring powerhouses like G2, NAVI and Spirit, JBa said: “I wouldn't say it's more pressure for us because the majority of people put us 0-3 in this stage. To make it here is crazy, but for me, playing against these top teams, I did a little bit in Pro League. I played Spirit, I didn't play well at all, but I think I'm more ready this time than I was in Pro League. So I'm excited to play against them with no pressure.”
