"Maybe even Blackman will appear then..."
Cyru, captain of Poland, wanted to explain for the people saying that those Koreans are just a bunch of average guys that they are very good for sure. "Look at their lineup. Crayon, leader of Team Korea, brought many semi-pros.", he says.
There were several difficulties for the match. "The match was really hard for us. First of all we and they had to play at really strange hours due to the fact that Crayon lives in USA and most Koreans can't speak English.". For example, the Monday matches were scheduled to begin at 09:00 CET.
"Several Poles were away during this match. However, I'm sure we've done our best without Draco and Tomson who are on holidays. Good games are always welcomed. We're gonna play a revange when top players are in Poland again. Maybe even Blackman will appear then...", Cyru sums the match up.
