T1 Autumn talks about team's performance in VCT 2023: Pacific League

After the Week 4, Day 2 matches concluded on April 16, 2023, Sportskeeda Esports got the opportunity to ask a few questions to Autumn in the post-match scrum interviews. Yoon "Autumn" Eu-teum is the head coach for T1 and had previously coached the well-known American team C9. Autumn has also coached OGN Entus Ace, a professional PUBG team.

The coach was questioned about their lackluster performance on Ascent against Gen.G. Ascent was their own map pick, on which they lost 5-13 in a fairly one-sided match. To this question, the coach had to say the following:

"I think they played well, they played really well. We made some mistakes ourselves and that is why even though we picked the map, we lost."

The coach was reluctant to go in-depth about their issues on the map. However, he clarified that there wasn't any one particular reason for which they lost. He attributed the defeat to the team's mistakes and Gen.G's amazing performance.

T1's performances in the series so far have been underwhelming. The team lost both of its last matches, which were mostly one-sided. In a previous interview with T1's Sayaplayer, the esports athlete attributed the lack of communication as a major issue for the side. T1 ban was also of a similar opinion, however, he added that the team needs to work more on individual performances.

T1 will face Rex Regum Qeon next in VCT 2023: Pacific League. The upcoming match is set to go live on April 23, 2023, in Seoul, South Korea.
