Mikkel Donby, Head Coach of Astralis Talent League of Legends

- We have worked with the continuous development of our players throughout 2021. That means we haven't prioritized quick wins but preferred the growth of our players instead.

- As we're now ramping up to the last tournament of the year, our focus is changing. We will work hard to implement all the stuff we've practiced throughout the year.

- We're kicking off the tournament with a bootcamp on September 24-26, focusing on fluent teamwork between the players.

- We are aiming for a solid run in the playoffs, and right now, I'm confident we have the skills to go all the way. With that said, there are many skilled teams in the tournament, so we will have to play our very best to secure as many points as possible.
