After the semifinal match against Liquid at ESL One Cologne in North America, Chaos team captain Joshua «steel» Nissan talked about its recent success and the preparation that led up to it. Chaos did perform very well in the group stage, defeating FURIA (sixth in the world rankings) and 100Thieves (eighteenth in the world rankings). Steel believes the team will be able to maintain its level in the long run. Despite the fact that the current roster was formed a little over three months ago, the players have managed to achieve good cooperation.
Joshua also mentioned the accusations of cheating that MIBR representatives made against other Chaos players after the match at cs_summit 6. He explained that he has reviewed the highlights of the moments in question and considers the claims to be contemporaneously baseless. Some MIBR fans continue to be outraged, but steel himself calls their behavior simply stupid. The player noted that the smart thing to do is to simply ignore such unwarranted attacks.
Steel believes that young Chaos players like Xeppaa and leaf have good prospects. The only problem for them may be in-game discipline, so one of their biggest challenges remains their ability to work as a team.
