These are the statements on the eve of the starting pro player HezerS:
"I am very motivated ahead of these Finals. In my growth path, qualification to the eChampions League represents an important objective, especially after already securing access to the World Championship. We know it won’t be easy, the bracket is competitive and every challenge will require maximum concentration. We will always have to give 100%, thinking match by match, with the ambition of going all the way to the trophy."
