"mzinho on needing one stand-in player after Senzu left: "From Malta we came to Mongolia talked about one stand-in player. We would ask about magixx and jL. We tried to contact jL but we didn't contact him and magixx said that we need to talk to their organization. After that day he said: "Okay I am fine with playing with you guys the rest of the year. But before that day we locked in for controlez." (via: @AllAboutCS2 Budapest Major episode)"
