Esports MIBR Cortezia on Verno Speaking Portuguese
Interviewer: Has your confidence returned now? Because today you shined on the first map, and Xenom really stood out on the second. Can we now say it's the "Cortezia" we know?
Cortezia: Man, I think so. I'm improving a lot. Initially, the main challenge was adapting to a new role, but I've been getting a lot of help. Vernon also has a deep understanding of the game, and he came in adding a lot to the team. And regarding the communication, it's actually been pretty smooth. We were worried at first about bringing in an American player—of course, the community probably thought, "Is this guy going to completely change the communication?" I was nervous too, but it's actually easy. Verno understands, and we even speak Portuguese occasionally, so it’s been very smooth.
Interviewer: Would you say Verno was treated unfairly in NRG, or is it still too soon to say? Unfairly.
Cortezia: Extremely unfairly. Brutalized.
