Torzsi: “I’m happy BetBoom Team picked Dust 2, and we were first. It’s nice to play it again”Exclusive

MOUZ sniper Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás provided exclusive insights following his team’s opening victory against BetBoom Team at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. The professional sharpshooter discussed the strategic implications of Dust 2’s tournament debut in CS2 and explained his tactical reasoning for upcoming opponent preferences.

— How was your travel from Malta? Had any time to rest a bit?

— The transition proved quite demanding. We competed in the ESL Pro League S19 finals just 48 hours prior, followed immediately by travel obligations and media commitments yesterday evening. Professional esports demands these rapid tournament transitions, though we’ve developed effective coping mechanisms for such scheduling pressures.

— Have you celebrated the win at least a little?

— We organized a team dinner celebration with moderate refreshments. This balanced approach allowed recognition of our achievement while maintaining competitive focus. Many teams struggle with post-victory celebration management, often impacting subsequent tournament performance negatively.

— Is it hard to keep motivation after winning an event like EPL? How do you maintain it?

— Maintaining championship momentum presents legitimate challenges. As seasoned competitors, we’ve mastered the psychological transition between tournament successes. The key lies in compartmentalizing achievements while channeling that confidence into new competitive challenges. This professional mindset separates elite teams from temporary successes.

— Did you expect BetBoom Team to pick Dust 2 as an obvious option versus a favorite?

— We anticipated their Dust 2 selection given their limited map pool options. Their assumption about our lack of preparation proved mistaken—we utilized off-days during EPL for targeted Dust 2 training sessions. This proactive preparation demonstrates the strategic depth required at professional levels, where opponents frequently test your least practiced maps.

— Did you say that because you like the map?

— While Dust 2 isn’t my primary map preference, it offers distinct advantages for AWPers. The map’s sightlines and angles provide exceptional sniper positioning opportunities that can dictate round outcomes.

— You mentioned it’s a good map for snipers. That was the case in CS:GO, but is it the same in CS2?

— Absolutely. CS2’s updated smoke mechanics actually enhance Dust 2’s sniper viability. The ability to dissipate smokes creates additional peek opportunities and angle control that skilled AWPers can exploit decisively.

— Who would you prefer to face next, Virtus.pro or Team Falcons?

— Both opponents present interesting challenges, though Virtus.pro’s distinctive approach offers valuable learning opportunities. Their methodical, deliberate playstyle contrasts sharply with most teams’ approaches, requiring unique adaptation strategies.

— Their tactical evolution since our last encounter warrants detailed study. Facing unconventional strategies like Virtus.pro’s slow-paced game plan forces teams to develop broader strategic flexibility, which proves invaluable throughout tournament cycles.
