CBLOL 2021: Abaxial regrets the elimination of Flamengo: “We did not use it well for 3 weeks”

Despite finishing the Regular Phase of the CBLOL 2021 1st split and already qualifying directly to the semifinals, Flamengo was defeated by paiN Gaming this Saturday (3) and said goodbye to the title opportunity in this first stage.

After the end of the Md5 series, the Flamengo Abaxial coach participated in the press conference, where he spoke about the problems his team faced during the five games against PaiN. He also admitted that the team did not make the most of the three-week break.

“This period was difficult for us, but generally it is not like that. Generally, this time is an advantage, because you can study your opponents, but unfortunately we don’t use it well. It’s just that. We had problems with our training during those weeks, but it’s more about us. If it were two weeks, maybe we would play worse ”, declared the North American coach.

Also according to Abaxial, one of the biggest problems Flamengo faced in the series was poor vision coverage and in the macro game (rotation around the map, for example). “We were weak in these areas. We weren’t horrible, but we didn’t get the advantages that we got during the Regular Phase. “

“We were much better at this during the points phase. I don’t know, we were playing less than we could in training, ”he concludes.

Apathetic Flamengo is more of a recruiting problem than a mindset

Regarding a possible apathy of Flamengo in the matches, Abaxial believes that the problem was more the draws mounted during the series. “We had teams that weren’t very proactive in the game, for example Ezreal, we didn’t have support to participate, we had Volibear … So if we don’t have the right early game, it will seem like we’re not doing anything.”

“I said, Pades also said that we could be more proactive, we talked about the vision, the opportunity to participate, these things, but also about the selections. I think it’s more about that than our mentality, ”says the coach.

Eliminated, Flamengo is now turning his attention to preparing for CBLOL’s second division, which begins in mid-June. The semifinals of the first stage continue this Sunday (4) with Vorax x RED Canids Kalunga, where the winner faces paiN Gaming in the Grand Final, scheduled for the 17th of this month.
